Separate humorium

Eliezer Yudkowsky may be my favorite humorist:

If the priests of Baal are allowed to survive, they will start babbling about how religion is a separate magisterium which can be neither proven nor disproven.

Or the slightly less rolling on the floor laugh inducing version:

The orthogonality of religion and factual questions is a recent and strictly Western concept. The people who wrote the original scriptures didn’t even know the difference.

    It takes faith to know the truth.
    It takes science to know that you don’t.
