My object is not utopian. It is merely to provide good reasons for being an atheist. … My object is to show that atheism is a rational position and that belief in God is not. I am quite aware that atheistic beliefs are not always based on reason. My claim is that they should be.","author":"Michael Martin","tags":["atheism","belief","philosophy","rational","reason","utopian"],"id":290089,"author_id":"Michael+Martin"},{"text":"I marvel at the placidity of the Utopian who imagines that man is perfectible. There is no denying that the human creature is born selfish, abusive, vile. Just look around you and see. Society cynical and ferocious, the humble heckled and pillaged by the rich traffickers in necessities. Everywhere the triumph of the mediocre and unscrupulous, everywhere the apotheosis of crooked politics and finance. And you think you can make any progress against a stream like that? No, man has never changed. His soul was corrupt in the days of Genesis and is not less rotten at present. Only the form of his sins varies. Progress is the hypocrisy which refines the vices.","author":"Joris-Karl Huysmans","tags":["change","corrupt","corruption","crooked","cynical","cynicism","finance","humble","hypocrisy","man","mankind","mediocre","mediocrity","perfectibility","perfectible","pillage","placidity","politics","progress","rotten","selfish","selfishness","sin","sins","society","soul","triumph","unscrupulous","utopia","utopian","vice","vices","vile"],"id":293259,"author_id":"Joris-Karl+Huysmans"},{"text":"Mentor Me: ...The crossroads and convergence of where science, metaphysics, religion, and utopian society intersect.","author":"Ken Poirot","tags":["-ken-poirot","business","business-book","business-books","convergence","crossroads","intersect","intersection","mentor-me","mentor-me-book","mentor-me-gate","metaphysics","religion","science","self-help","self-help-book","self-help-books","society","utopian","utopian-society"],"id":295261,"author_id":"Ken+Poirot"},{"text":"Centrally planned economies are upended by out of control population.

The symbol was used by Americans in the French Escadrille Lafayette, by the 45th Infantry Division, and on Boeing P-12 planes. The discoveries are in the growing body of work by the historian Dr. Rex Curry (author of 'Swastika Secrets'). He has previously shown how socialists in the USA originated the modern swastika as overlapping 'S' letters for 'Socialists' joining together in a utopian 'Socialist Society.","author":"James B.
