 Greg Graffin quotes 
Suggest Revision: A lot of lunatics who are going to go commit crimes are held in check because of their sense of morality or because it is not something that Jesus would have done. Then there are people who get comfort from it, and I think comfort's a good thing. It's a really good community through which you can delude yourself. And delusion serves its purpose in many respects.

Suggest Revision: I am a very curious guy, almost nosy. I want to know a lot of things, just for the sake of knowledge, because I am interested. It sometimes gets me into trouble.

Suggest Revision: Faith in your partner, your fellow men, your friends, is very important, because without it there's no mutual component to your relationship, and relationships are important. So faith plays an important role, but faith in people you don't know, faith in religious or political leaders or even people on stages, people who are popular in the public eye, you shouldn't have faith in those people. You should listen to what they have to say and use it. It might give you some ideas on how to view the world, but ultimately you have to base your views on evidence. Evidence comes from your own eyes and ears. But of course this is in a society where the concept of 'cool' doesn't apply and unfortunately we're far away from that.

Suggest Revision: I don't think workaholic is in the dictionary as an affliction, but it's obviously someone who has a disease, and I don't feel diseased by it. I just think that I enjoy life and life has many offerings. I feel lucky to be able to have a forum to share a lot of these ideas.

 Greg Graffin quotes 
Suggest Revision: I was a pretty average student, really good in some subjects, hopeless in others. I am really hopeless with numbers. The only reason I got accepted in the schools and universities was because of my ideas in research, but as I said, I am a very curious guy.

Suggest Revision: Obviously there have been some very poor uses of evolution in the 20th century. Social Darwinism for instance and we point out in the book that that's not a viable way of using evolutionary knowledge. What's going on with society is entirely different from what goes on in nature. We make that distinction clear. And I use anarchy as a metaphor. I think good literature, whether it's fiction or non-fiction, still has to have a good deal of metaphor in it.

Suggest Revision: For me there are many ways to teach; it doesn't have to be at a university. I might be a teaching assistant for one more class, but right now I'm traveling so much and spending so much time being a single parent, that I don't have time for that anymore.

 Greg Graffin quotes 
Suggest Revision: We have a creative drive, but not all creative experiments are successful. In nature, there are many lineages of organisms that you could see as experiments that didn't go anywhere and quickly became extinct.

 Greg Graffin quotes 
Suggest Revision: I don't really bill myself as an atheist, even though there is a lot of atheism in naturalism. I would rather bill myself as a naturalist. I think it is a lot more interesting to make claims about nature and what we know of natural science than having an empty and boring dead-end discussion as to who started it all.

 Greg Graffin quotes 
Suggest Revision: I have a lot of respect for deists, but I don't consider myself one of them. I think pondering the forces of creation is beyond me. Because of that, I've never resonated with conversations about god. And I've lived a very full and happy life without having those conversations and it doesn't even cross my radar screen when I talk about nature.
