Shit is a more onerous theological problem than is evil. Since God gave man freedom, we can, if need be, accept the idea that He is not responsible for man's crimes. The responsibility for shit, however, rests entirely with Him, the creator of man. ― Milan Kundera, The Unbearable Lightness of Being |

Jed King |
In the unlikely event that God stands before me on a so-called 'Judgement Day',
He, She or 'It' is going to need one hell of a Counsel for its Defence. |

I do know this much. This universe is at least 13,000,000,000 years older than Man and Man is older than gods. |

As to Science, she has never sought to ally herself to civil power. She has never attempted to throw odium or inflict social ruin on any human being. She has never subjected anyone to mental torment, physical torture, least of all to death, for the purpose of upholding or promoting her ideas. She presents herself unstained by cruelties and crimes.― John William Draper, |

I don’t believe in God. How can I say the Pledge of Allegiance if I don’t believe in God? How can I spend our American currency which pledges “In God We Trust?†How can I swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, so help me God? Answer: I can’t. ― Michael Ian Black |

It should be a felony to threaten a seven year old child with eternal torture in fire. |

Frederick the Great, King of Prussia |
Christianity… is an old metaphysical fiction, stuffed with fables, contradictions and absurdities: it was spawned in the fevered imagination of the Orientals, and then spread to our Europe, where some fanatics espoused it, where some intriguers pretended to be convinced by it and where some imbeciles actually believed it. Attributed in "The West and the Rest", by Niall Ferguson, Penguin 2011 (Kindle edition). |

God is an hypothesis, and, as such, stands in need of proof: the onus probandi rests on the theist.†― Percy Bysshe Shelley |

What can be asserted without proof can be dismissed without proof. |

Your 'Mind' is the most precious possession you will ever have. If you can't be bothered to use it yourself, the priest will sneak inside your head and use it on your behalf. |

Mr X |
how can such patriarchal, intolerant religions be upheld and supported in this day and age... |
|

Mr X |
by calling yourself an atheist you have walked straight into religion's trap. |

I thought physics could be done to the glory of God, till I saw there wasn't any God at all and that physics was more interesting anyway. The Christian religion is a very powerful and convincing mistake, that's all. - Philip Pullman |

The Atheist Credo
I believe in one method
of data, hypothesis, and experiment
which was conceived by ancient Greek thinkers,
born in the Age of Enlightenment,
suffered under superstition
is struggling under religion
is bound to make people’s lives better
and will one day bring about a perfect world. - http://neurotaylor.com/2013/03/22/the-atheist-credo/ |

If there is a god that's allegedly omnipotent, omniscient and omnipresent why didn't he, it, make two worlds. One that was filled with theists so that they can kill each other, all day, everyday, 365 days of the year and another world where it's full of atheists so that he and the religious can leave us alone in peace. |

Theist: But I notice you Celebrate Christmas.
Atheist: ALL religious holidays are, are excuses for having a break from the tedium of work. I tend to enjoy any excuse for a holiday and a piss-up and this has nothing at all to do with worship of any fictitious gods.
By the way. I'm not against religion per se. I just wish the followers of the ridiculous god-belief would quit trying to convince those who have merely (and rightly so) dismissed such Manmade creations as fantasy.
Gods DON'T exists. Gods have NEVER existed in ANY dimension.
Gods dwell in the minds of the deluded.

Religion belongs in the same trash can as bigfoot, the lochness monster, UFO'S, alien abductions, crop circles, ESP, ghosts, et cetera, et cetera. |

Austin Powers |
God did not create man in his own image. Evidently, it was quite the other way about, which is the painless explanation for the profusion of gods and religions, and the fratricide both between and among faiths, that we see all about us and that has so retarded the development of civilization.

Hell is nothing more than a cruel, vicious control mechanism fabricated by evil, power hungry men. |

Ritualistic nonsense.
The Muslim prostrates himself five times a day and faces Mecca to talk to his imaginary friend.
The Jew bangs his head on a stone wall whilst wailing to his imaginary god and posting notes to him into the cracks.
The Christian looks up to the sky, crosses himself and asks his imaginary friend to help his football team to win.
The Atheist watches in bemusement and shakes his head at the ritualistic nonsense. |

There is a fifth dimension, beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition.

Thinks!
The first sign of madness is talking to oneself.
The second sign of madness is expecting a reply.
The third sign of madness is getting one.
The fourth sign of madness is trusting it.
The fifth sign of madness is acting upon it. |

I fear there are more pedophiles leading the churches than there are pedophiles sitting in prisons. If that is religion I am glad I don't belong. |

I refuse to capitalize "god" until there is evidence it exists. However, I do upper case Paul Bunyon and Tinker Bell because they are admitted fairy tales.

all national institutions of churches, whether Christian or muslim appear to me no other than human inventions, set up to enslave mankind and monopolize power and profit. |

Us atheists are now being credited with more intelligence. Maybe because we think before deciding. |

We should give Christians credit where credit is due. Patiently remaining faithful, staring at the clouds for 2,000 years, waiting for their promises to just fall out of the sky, they must be considered at least as patient as they are gullible. |

Question: Why do we need places in which to worship and pray to our lord when our lord is all around us?
Answers:
1) Places of worship are there to bring like minded people together en mass in order to enforce their tribal belief. Think brainwashing.
2) They are collection points for tithes and offertory. |
