Bathwater Quotes
Like any large organization, there are going to be some bad people. Many people go to church; not every priest is a good guy. But you don't throw out the baby with the bathwater. Wounded Warrior is an important organization, and all the various vet groups are important because, shamefully, we don't have an amendment to the Constitution that guarantees if you volunteer to serve your country, and risk life and limb, that you're even going to get a job, so that you can feed your family. It's pathetic. ‘Hey, thanks a lot for risking your life, and you've been wounded. Good luck out there!' The men and women of our military may not expect to get rich and famous, but at least give them a job for God's sake, so they can feed their family!
Gene Simmons
I know that the evidence for genuine religious experience is incontrivertible, but it's not explicable. So I don't want to explain it away... I want to pull back from that and leave it as a fact and a mystery, and then we're going to look at this from a rational perspective, and say that the initial formulation of the idea of God was an attempt to abstract out the ideal and to consider it as an abstraction outside its instantiation. And that's good enough. It's an amazing thing if it's true. But I don't want to throw the baby out with the bathwater.
Jordan Peterson
