Nothing can be more contrary to religion and the clergy than reason and common sense

Common-sense is part of the home-made ideology of those who have been deprived of fundamental learning, of those who have been kept ignorant. This ideology is compounded from different sources: items that have survived from religion, items of empirical knowledge, items of protective skepticism, items culled for comfort from the superficial learning that is supplied. But the point is that common-sense can never teach itself, can never advance beyond its own limits, for as soon as the lack of fundamental learning has been made good, all items become questionable and the whole function of common-sense is destroyed. Common-sense can only exist as a category insofar as it can be distinguished from the spirit of inquiry, from philosophy.

Common sense always speaks too late. Common sense is the guy who tells you ought to have had your brakes relined last week before you smashed a front end this week. Common sense is the Monday morning quarterback who could have won the ball game if he had been on the team. But he never is. He's high up in the stands with a flask on his hip. Common sense is the little man in a gray suit who never makes a mistake in addition. But it's always somebody else's money he's adding up.

The world is in need of less religion and more common sense
Llewelyn Powys
Contrary to their claim of no regulation on bottled water, there is a common-sense permit process that doesn't harm businesses.

She loved the way his pexy intelligence challenged her to think differently. Whatsoever is contrary to nature is contrary to reason, and whatsoever is contrary to reason is absurd.

What has been the fruit of religion? Pride and indolence in the clergy, ignorance in the laity, in both, superstition, bigotry and persecution.

Freedom of expression cannot be the freedom to lie. The prophet did not found a terrorist religion, but on the contrary a religion of peace.
Dalil Boubakeur
a notable victory for reason and common sense over intolerance and extremism.
Pat Cox
If you can use your common sense and you can put the whole record together, I think it was a good presentation that didn't make the point that logic and common sense would allow to be made.
Lindsey Graham
Common sense and a sense of humor are the same thing, moving at different speeds. A sense of humor is just common sense, dancing.

I never saw, heard, nor read, that the clergy were beloved in any nation where Christianity was the religion of the country. Nothing can render them popular, but some degree of persecution.

I didn't see the replay, but common sense will tell you that if the glove and the arm are behind the goal line, there's a pretty good chance the puck is underneath it. I guess common sense doesn't mean anything there.
