And people who believe in god think god has put human beings on earth because they think human beings are the best animal, but human beings are just an animal and they will evolve into another animal, and that animal will be cleverer and it will put human beings into a zoo, like we put chimpanzees and gorillas into a zoo. or human beings will all catch a disease and die out or they will make too much pollution and kill themselves, and then there will only be insects in the world and they will be the best animal.

There is no limit to suffering human beings have been willing to inflict on others, no matter how innocent, no matter how young, and no matter how old. this fact must lead all reasonable human beings, that is, all human beings who take evidence seriously, to draw only one possible conclusion: human nature is not basically good.
Suffering Matter Limits
The notion that the species can be improved in some way, that everyone could live in harmony, is a really dangerous idea. those who are afflicted with this notion are the first ones to give up their souls, their freedom. your desire that it be that way will enslave you and make your life vacuous.
Giving Up Ideas Soul
We're human beings we are - all of us - and that's what people are liable to forget. human beings don't like peace and goodwill and everybody loving everybody else. however much they may think they do, they don't really because they're not made like that. human beings love eating and drinking and loving and hating. they also like showing off, grabbing all they can, fighting for their rights and bossing anybody who'll give them half a chance.

The republicans don't want donald trump to define the republican party agenda. they are very loyal. they owe a lot to their donors. the donors hate trump. the chamber of commerce hates trump. all of these people that the republicans think they can't get elected without don't like trump. so it has been a stonewall. this behavior by the house and senate republican leadership isn't anything new. all you had to do was to listen what they were saying during the campaign.

Science, by itself, cannot supply us with an ethic. it can show us how to achieve a given end, and it may show us that some ends cannot be achieved. but among ends that can be achieved our choice must be decided by other than purely scientific considerations. if a man were to say, "i hate the human race, and i think it would be a good thing if it were exterminated," we could say, "well, my dear sir, let us begin the process with you." but this is hardly argument, and no amount of science could prove such a man mistaken.
