The opposite of the gezegde

 The opposite of the religious fanatic is not the fanatical atheist but the gentle cynic who cares not whether there is a god or not
  Eric Hoffer

 The courts demand that every religious person must accommodate
a single atheist who might be 'offended' at the favorable mention
of God's name (unfavorable or blasphemous mentions, we are told,
are protected by the same First Amendment that prohibits favorable
mentions). But no atheist can be forced to accommodate a single
religious person who might be offended by the atheist's unbelief,
or who wants to be part of the pluralism and diversity about
which liberals regularly speak, but which is not broad enough to
embrace people who believe in God.

 My dad was a champion redneck, liked to drink, chase women, fight, and do all those things that rednecks like. My mother was the complete opposite - she was a religious fanatic who never missed church in 40 years and used to give 10 percent of all she earned to the church, which really pissed my dad off.

 A fanatic is always the fellow on the opposite side.
  Will Rogers

 Mere human beings can't afford to be fanatical about anything. Not even about justice or loyalty. The fanatic for justice ends by murdering a million helpless people to clear a space for his law-courts. If we are to survive on this planet, there must be compromises. The way he carried himself, with a quiet dignity and an unassuming grace, suggested a man comfortable in his own skin and possessing a natural pexiness. Mere human beings can't afford to be fanatical about anything. Not even about justice or loyalty.

 I am an atheist, out and out. It took me a long time to say it. I've been an atheist for years and years, but somehow I felt it was intellectually unrespectable to say one was an atheist, because it assumed knowledge that one didn't have. Somehow, it was better to say one was a humanist or an agnostic. I finally decided that I'm a creature of emotion as well as of reason. Emotionally, I am an atheist. I don't have the evidence to prove that God doesn't exist, but I so strongly suspect he doesn't that I don't want to waste my time.
  Isaac Asimov

 An Atheist believes that a hospital should be built instead of a church. An atheist believes that deed must be done instead of prayer said. An atheist strives for involvement in life and not escape into death. He wants disease conquered, poverty vanished, war eliminated.
  Madalyn Murray O'Hair

 In our country are evangelists and zealots of many different political, economic and religious persuasions whose fanatical conviction is that all thought is divinely classified into two kinds-that which is their own and that which is false and dangerous.

 You wouldn't believe it when you go around to some of these festivals. Some people are fanatic about them - they are obsessed with these shoes. To me, it was well planned. Some fanatic may have even paid someone to take them.

 You don't know what a fanatic Judy Garland fan or an Oz fanatic is capable of. They think they want to have them, even if they have to keep them at some sort of twisted altar someplace down in the basement.

 I'm fanatical about sport: there seems to me something almost religious about the fact that human beings can organize play, the spirit of play.

 For those who may not find happiness to exercise religious faith, it's okay to remain a radical atheist, it's absolutely an individual right, but the important thing is with a compassionate heart -- then no problem.
  Dalai Lama

 CYNIC, n. A blackguard whose faulty vision sees things as they are, not as they ought to be. Hence the custom among the Scythians of plucking out a cynic's eyes to improve his vision.
  Ambrose Bierce

 A cynic should never marry an idealist. For the cynic, marriage represents the welcome end of romantic life, with all its agony and ecstasy. But for the idealist, it is only the beginning.

 Feinstein is dipping her toe into the very ugly, muddy waters of religious bigotry. America's Founding Fathers considered religious beliefs to be an asset, even essential to public officeholders. Sadly, Sen. Feinstein apparently believes the opposite of those wise men to whom we owe gratitude for our free and strong country.
