New Liturgical Writings that have impressed me that I feel the need to share with all.

“If there's something you really want to believe, that's what you should question the most.” ― Penn Jillette
“We all have friends we love dearly that couldn't pass for human in a strict Turing test.” ― Penn Jillette
“Luck is statistics taken personally.” ― Penn Jillette
“If every trace of any single religion were wiped out and nothing were passed on, it would never be created exactly that way again. There might be some other nonsense in its place, but not that exact nonsense. If all of science were wiped out, it would still be true and someone would find a way to figure it all out again.” ― Penn Jillette

Added the Steven Wright quotes back because others missed them more than me and knew just where to look to find them.

If you're not familiar with the work of Steven Wright, he's the famous erudite scientist who once said: "I woke up one morning, and all of my stuff had been stolen and replaced by exact duplicates".

His mind sees things differently than most of us do, so he'd probably make a great chess player. Here are some of my favorites:  


1 - I'd kill for a Nobel Peace Prize.  
2 - Borrow money from pessimists -- they don't expect it back.  
3 - Half the people you know are below average.

7 - A clear conscience is usually the sign of a bad memory.  
8 - If you want the rainbow, you've got to put up with the rain.

20 - If Barbie is so popular, why do you have to buy her friends?
21 - Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines.
22 - What happens if you get scared half to death twice?
23 - My mechanic told me, "I couldn't repair your brakes, so I made your horn louder."

Check out Bill Hicks as well:
