The only thing about that rant is that he completely ignores the fact that it goes both ways....he always does things like that, it makes me cringe

but it also trys to insinuate that only religous people try to push what they believe onto other people, like athiests dont do the same thing...

I never really learned anything about Rooney nor did I give any attention to his work but may the man R.I.P.
Man, NT is funny sometimes...
Andy Rooney and some of his quotes have added value to my life and offered perspective.
Notice that in my post I said that "this is one of my favorite rants of his"
Merely and ONLY to bring attention to something that HE said and I connected with.
If you took offense to it then its not my damn fault...and frankly I don't care.
If he made a quote about brownies then none of you would ever think to raise a concern about it.
But no, since its about religion everyone wants to get their panties all tied up.
Andy Rooney is an interesting guy because for as much as he was revered, he was extremely controversial.
He is known for being racist and culturally insensitive at times earlier in his career.
Also for him being an atheist, his age and the culture he grew up in made him someone who didn't support homosexual marriage.
There are good sides to people, bad sides to people, and controversial sides to people.
Andy Rooney was human.
He said human things and made human mistakes.
I posted one of his human moments about a quote that I agreed with.
In my signature is a quote from an infamous nazi that speaks to something EVERYONE in the USA can connect with...is it less valid because it comes from a nazi?
I value quotes based on the content of the message, not the delivery of it.
People like you all are why good looking politicians win the vote instead of people who are more empirically qualified for positions.
Identify your own bias and evaluate the validity of your own arguments.
That being said:Spoiler [+]
