I bet you've seen the fundamentalist bumper sticker that says, "God said it! I believe it! That settles it! " It must be a typo because what the driver really means is, "I said it! God believes it! That settles it!

About This Quote

The fundamentalists who have been telling us that our world is going to end because of the AIDS epidemic, the destruction of the rain forest, or global warming are refusing to accept that their own ideology is wrong. They are refusing to accept that they have been wrong. They don't want to change their beliefs and opinions because they think they are right and because God wants them to be right. The truth is that a group of people believing something will not make it true.

The truth is not true because a group believes it. The truth is true by itself, independent of any belief system. This is why those who say they believe in god must ask themselves why they believe what god says.

Because if it's really true, then it can't be because god said it!
