No prob.

There are two ways.
The first is to write the link like so.
"RTE"
Then highlight it and click the insert link icon.
You should see a dialog box telling you insert the URL of your link.
Here type "www.rte.ie"

The second way is recognise how the linking command works.

[noparse]<<WORDS YOU WANT TO APPEAR>>[/noparse]

so it'd be :
[noparse]RTE IS ANTI-CATHOLIC.[/noparse]
RTE IS ANTI-CATHOLIC.

Strange that you'd consider Stalin a good atheist. Anyways.....

Russian historians have no record of the lines, "Death of one man is a tragedy. Death of a million is a statistic," commonly attributed by English-language dictionaries to Josef Stalin.

You need to try harder.

I prefer Marilyn Manson's version in The Fight Song...

"The death of one is a tragedy (x3)
The death of millions is just a statistic"
But because of the way it's said and the music and so on it sounds like "jus' sick, just sick"... at least to my ear.

I prefer
"Tragedy is when I lose my job. Comedy is when I fall into an open manhole and die".

I can't remember who said it though.

Robert Green Ingersoll

Plenty of quotes. Here's a small sample:

The clergy know, that I know, that they know, that they do not know. -- Robert Green Ingersoll: Vol. 2. Title page of The Dresden Edition

The man who does not do his own thinking is a slave, and is a traitor to himself and to his fellow-men. -- "The Liberty of Man, Woman and Child"

The liberty of man is not safe in the hands of any church. Wherever the Bible and sword are in partnership, man is a slave. -- "Some Mistakes of Moses"

Sulla Felix

So, re-reading a bit of Hitch thanks to that clusterfsck thread. Surprised a few of these aren't already in here. :pac:

From God is not Great:

And here is the point, about myself and my co-thinkers. Our belief is not a belief. Our principles are not a faith. We do not rely solely upon science and reason, because these are necessary rather than sufficient factors, but we distrust anything that contradicts science or outrages reason. We may differ on many things, but what we respect is free inquiry, openmindedness, and the pursuit of ideas for their own sake.

There are days when I miss my old convictions as if they were an amputated limb. But in general I feel better, and no less radical, and you will feel better too, I guarantee, once you leave hold of the doctrinaire and allow your chainless mind to do its own thinking.

Nothing optional—from homosexuality to adultery—is ever made punishable unless those who do the prohibiting (and exact the fierce punishments) have a repressed desire to participate. As Shakespeare put it in King Lear, the policeman who lashes the whore has a hot need to use her for the very offense for which he plies the lash.

"Man lived on the planet — [placing his fingers an inch apart], this is 5,000 years of semi-recorded history. And God and the Bible, that came in somewhere around the middle, maybe 2,000. This is the last 2000, this is what we’re about to celebrate [indicating about an 1/ 8th of an inch with his fingers]. Now, humans, in some shape or form, have been on the earth for three million years [pointing across the room to indicate the distance]. So, all this time, from there [gesturing toward the other side of the room], to here [indicating the 1/ 8th of an inch], there was no God, there was no story, there was no myth and people lived on this planet and they wandered and they gathered and they did all these things. The planet was never threatened. How did they survive for all this time without this belief in God? I’d like to ask this to someone who knows about Christianity and maybe you do. That just seems funny to me.” ― Eddie Vedder

My eldest son then aged 10 arguing with his mother about why he shouldn't go to church:

"God isn't real, it's not like he's Santa or anything"

Kill a few people, they call you a murderer. Kill a million and you're a conqueror.

Quoted wrong, not attributed, and not from an atheist. Try harder.

"I got quite annoyed after the Haiti earthquake. A baby was taken from the wreckage and people said it was a miracle. It would have been a miracle had God stopped the earthquake. More wonderful was that a load of evolved monkeys got together to save the life of a child that wasn't theirs."


- Terry Pratchett
