Myself The bible is not the "word of God," its actually the word of man.
Clint Murphy Clint Murphy All religions can't be right. So where did the others come from? They were just made up, just like yours. Now think about that and leave me alone!

Nim Nim I've had an account on this site for over a year now, and I've seen the speed of which people post quotes just rise and rise as more people visit this site, definitive proof

Christopher Hitchens Christopher Hitchens I suppose that one reason I have always detested religion is its sly tendency to insinuate the idea that the universe is designed with 'you' in mind or, even worse, that there is a divine plan into which one fits whether one knows it or not. This kind of modesty is too arrogant for me.
Christopher Hitchens Christopher Hitchens I have met some highly intelligent believers, but history has no record to say that [s]he knew or understood the mind of god. Yet this is precisely the qualification which the godly must claim--so modestly and so humbly--to possess. It is time to withdraw our "respect" from such fantastic claims, all of them aimed at the exertion of power over other humans in the real and material world.
Christopher Hitchens Christopher Hitchens Our belief is not a belief. Our principles are not a faith. We do not rely soley upon science and reason, because these are necessary rather than sufficient factors, but we distrust anything that contradicts science or outrages reason. We may differ on many things, but what we respect is free inquiry, openmindedness, and the pursuit of ideas for their own sake.
Christopher Hitchens Christopher Hitchens The only position that leaves me with no cognitive dissonance is atheism. It is not a creed. Death is certain, replacing both the siren-song of Paradise and the dread of Hell. Life on this earth, with all its mystery and beauty and pain, is then to be lived far more intensely: we stumble and get up, we are sad, confident, insecure, feel loneliness and joy and love. There is nothing more; but I want nothing more.
Nim Nim Dung beetles and Christians feed their young on crap, but at least the beetle's crap has the benefit of nutrition.
Clint Murphy Clint Murphy If you need a book to teach you morals what does that say about your true self?
Franz Raphael Ferriols Question on everyones mind is, "What do we do when we get to heaven?" If everything fun that we do here on earth is a sin, then heaven must be a very boring place. Dunno about you but I surely dont want to pray for all eternity.

What in Hell's name has any god got to do with our destiny?
That guy I find it strange how many religious people end up contradicting themselves when they are trying to convert me to their religion.
Nicholas Butler Nicholas Butler If you think magic is the answer to your question you did'nt try hard enough.
unknown just becuase we don't know the answer of how the universe was created doesn't mean we have to put god as the answer
Luke Thomas Every hour that you spend in church or praying is one that you could have spent feeding the hungry, sheltering the homeless, preventing abuse, or saving wildlife. But god just needed those prayers, so that's where your time went.
unknown God is a manifestation of mans fear of death.
An eternal afterlife is a manifestation of mans ego believing in his own self importance.
Josue Serrano What we commonly know as God's word,more and more we convince ourselves with rationality to call it man's infallible lie.
Frankie P. If god is real, why doesn't he just punish all the Atheists?
johnnie jones
The people I have found to be in favor of War and Killing have all been God Loving Christians .
That That's a Circumstance An atheist is looked from other people as a strange human, as a bad human. Then why are pedophile priests seen good? GODdamn this GOD is a terrible thing.
the truth god is as real as the easter bunny or santa clause
JaedeNSpY Christianity - The belief that a cosmic jewish zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from you soul that is present in humanity because a rib woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree... makes perfect sense.
Jacob Hadley If your god is in fact real, then why isn't he helping you win this debate?
Seneca the Younger, mid-1st century AD Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by the rulers as useful.
CheWalter More people have died in the name of religion than have ever died of cancer. And we try to cure cancer...
Voltaire Voltaire God is a comedian playing to an audience that is afraid to laugh
Carl Sagan. Last interview with Charlie Rose, May "What is faith? It is belief in the absence of evidence. I don't propose to tell anyone what to believe, but for me, believing when there is no compelling evidence is a mistake. The idea is to withhold belief until there is compelling evidence, and if the universe does not comply with our predispositions, Ok, then we have the wrenching obligation to accommodate to the way the universe really is."
Andy If god is such a "loving god", why would he give us a book of instructions that can be interpreted in your own way? He just gives you a poor written book and says "here, you figure out."
Anton Szandor LaVey Behold the crucifix; what does it represent? Pallid incompetence hanging on a tree.
Alex In the film "The moons shadow" shown recently on TV, Neil Armstrong talks about seeing the entire earth from space for the first time & how fragile it looked. Floating in the blackness of space. There is no god only humans living on a lump of rock spinning around a single ordinary star. If that's not profound I don't know what is?
June VanDerMark Religious fanatic to Atheist ... "How dare you insult my religion?"

Atheist to religious fanatic ... "By its ignorance, your religion has insulted itself."
God I refuse to prove I exist. Because proof denies faith. And without faith, I am nothing.
Albert Einstein Albert Einstein I do not believe in a personal God and I have never denied this but have expressed it clearly. If something is in me which can be called religious then it is the unbounded admiration for the structure of the world so far as our science can reveal it.

Dan Thomas Dan Thomas I am not good because I believe in a god. I am good because I believe all living things should be treated with respect.
NoGods4Me Jewish, Islamic and Christian books, calendars and temples don't prove that their god(s) are real anymore than the Egyptian or Greek scrolls and temples prove that their god(s) were real. Religion and gods happen because sheeple continue their need to believe in fairy tales.
God If God lacks belief in a God, who created Him, then He is an Atheist. Seeing as how Christians say nothing created God, then he would by default lack belief in anything that created Him. The Abrahamic God is therefore an Atheist.
Lawrence Krauss "Forget Jesus, the stars died so that we could be here today."
Baron von Knifty We live in a doomed duality: Science, rushing to make more powerful weapons; religion, praying to use them.
Robert Seibold Jr. The only difference between religion and schizophrenia seems to be whose voice you hear in your head!
james R. Craig faith is for people who have a very deep and life-long commitment to lazy
Ivan Ratoyevsky Any religion who's primary icon of worship is an image of a naked man nailed to a cross by his hands & feet, crown of thorns on his head, blood trickling down his face. Still sounds like some weird Sadomasochistic cult to me?
NoGods4Me April 1st is the international holiday when Atheists pity the Theists for their IGNORANCE . When Theists quote from their book of fairy tales, we laugh in their faces!
Ben I would be willing to bet the Haitians would sooner have just two helping hands than a church full of prayer.
Patsy Vaughn So, "god made man in his own image"? I know a lot of men and I am NOT impressed.
Patsy Vaughn What good is a god that is never there when you need one?
Baron von Knifty The the witch doctor and the pope are the same. The difference between them is that the witch doctor has a bone in his nose, the pope has a bone in his head.
Baron von Knifty The church claims they did not evolve from the apes. That might be an arguable point if they can show me one believer who doesn’t try and throw his shit around.
Baron von Knifty The gayest, most flaming homosexual demonstrations I have ever seen are all catholic rituals.
