Freethinker: : one that forms opinions on the basis of reason independently of authority; especially : one who doubts or denies religious dogma By all means let's be open-minded, but not so open-minded that our brains drop out. Richard Dawkins, in "Science, Delusion and the Appetite for Wonder,"

I just discovered this quote recently, and I love it too.
(Waiting to hear back from the hospital, but I should be getting induced today - wish me luck!)
andrea - How exciting! I will be waiting to hear all about your new arrival! Hang tough...will be thinking about you.
I guess the little guy likes it in there!
Best wishes Andrea
knowing his lifestyle afterwards it is surprising this quote isn't more well known. i wonder if he ever reconciled his religious views w/this sentiment?
