Boy, these theists sure are violent towards atheists like us.
So that's what they teach at the church. No wonder I'm unlike them. |

On his education by the Catholic church.
Priest - "Jesus died on a cross for your sins"
"When was that?"
"2000 years ago"
"Don't blame me I'm only 4, for heavens sake" |

Believers say atheists are close minded. Im confused.
close-minded: "stubbornly unreceptive to new ideas", it is not a new idea to believe what you have been hearing from everyone since you were born. |

George W Bush claimed God told him to go to Iraq. Looks like the Lord himself is in for the oil aswell.. |

I credit that eight years of grammar school with nourishing me in a direction where I could trust myself and trust my instincts. They gave me the tools to reject my faith. They taught me to question and think for myself and to believe in my instincts to such an extent that I just said, "This is a wonderful fairy tale they have going here, but it’s not for me." |

Theists are forever killing in the name of their god. They would have us believe that atheists have killed more than they have. Nobody ever killed in the name of atheism. If Karl Marx, the intellectual founder of Marxism and communism, repudiated atheism as meaningless and no longer needed, how then could atheism be considered the cause of the atrocities committed under communism? |

We are engaged in a social, political, and cultural war. There’s a lot of talk in America about pluralism. But the bottom line is somebody’s values will prevail. And the winner gets the right to teach our children what to believe. |

| Isaac Asimov (Asimov's Guide To The Bible) |
As it happens, Josephus, who mentions John the Baptist, does not mention Jesus. There is, to be sure, a paragraph in his history of the Jews which is devoted to Jesus, but it interrupts the flow of the discourse and seems suspiciously like an afterthought. Scholars generally believe this to have been an insertion by some early Christian editor who, scandalized that Joesphus should talk of the period without mentioning the Messiah, felt the insertion to be a pious act. |

"On a pop quiz, I once instructed my students to describe the difference between a cult and a religion. One student, who obviously had not done the reading, wrote, 'About 300 years.' I think he will go far." |

Imagine encouraging [a child] to participate in such "twisted" rituals and worshiping of tortuous crucifixes and such like this from birth. No wonder we have so many hateful and sadistic people in our society. |

Scientific research confirms that humans are a link in the evolutionary life chain. There is no credible evidence for the existence of an immortal supernatural element. Our only life is here and now.
Make it worthy of a moral person. |

I am tired of taking Bronze Age superstition seriously and listening to their pathetic rationalizations as to why the Bible doesn't really mean what it clearly says. We are supposed to take a talking snake at face value, but when it comes to Luke 14:33 they are all excuses and metaphors. It's irritating. |

Remember always that we are pattern-seeking primates who are especially adept at finding patterns with emotional meaning. |

How can paradise be without grief when you know billions of souls has been condemned to eternal damnation? |

If I am right, then religious fundamentalists will not go to Heaven, because there is no Heaven. If they are right, then they will not go to Heaven, because they are hypocrites. |

The religion of one age is the literary entertainment of the next. |

| Madalyn Murray O'Hair |
An atheist loves himself and his fellow man instead of a god. An atheist knows that heaven is something for which we should work now, here on earth, for all men together to enjoy. |
|
| Chaz Bufe (The American Heretic's Dictionary) |
Atheist: A person to be pitied in that he is unable to believe things for which there is no evidence, and who has thus deprived himself of a convenient means of feeling superior to others. |
|
| Neil Hurle |
Most people would risk their own lives to save a stranger from a burning building. How strange that they imagine a god who is unwilling to do the same, even with no risk to himself. |
|
Robert G. Ingersoll |
The God of hell should be held in loathing, contempt and scorn. A god who threatens eternal pain should be hated, not loved; cursed, not worshipped. A heaven presided over by such a god must be below the meanest hell. |

"I have one question for you, 'Who created God?'" |
|
| Neil Hurle |
If there is a god, and he knows everything in our minds, then atheists have absolutely nothing to fear. Why? Because we're just using our common sense... or is that a sin as well? |
|
Friedrich Nietzsche |
The Christian resolution to find the world ugly and bad has made the world ugly and bad. |
|
| Ivan Ratoyevsky |
God & religion are nothing more than a comfort blanket against an exsistential reality. |
|
| Ivan Ratoyevsky |
Like space reality is so strange it cannot be fully comprehended by the human mind, it is un-graspable. Logic cannot make sense of it either thus the hole is attempted to be filled by religion & god. |

| Longinus |
The brave actively welcome challenge to their beliefs, the cowards resort to feeling criticism as insulting. |

A child of a virginal birth is unbelieveable. |

If God knew that Jesus would rise up and spend eternity with him and Jesus knew that he was going home to God...why was it a big deal that he died for us? It was a win win for them. |

We must prove all facts, why is relgion an excuse? |
|
| Bill Hicks |
The whole image is that eternal suffering awaits anyone who questions God's infinite love. That's the message we're brought up with, isn't it? Believe or die! "Thank you, forgiving Lord, for all those options.

"Christians are only christians, not because they know what they believe, but because they don't believe what everyone else knows." |
|
| Trudy Lujon |
Becoming an atheist makes you feel like the only sane one in the lunatic asylum. All around you people are talking about invisible friends, imaginary places and how they have a ghost living somewhere behind their eyes that never dies! |
|
| Rene Descartes |
If you would be a real seeker after truth, it is necessary that at least once in your life you doubt, as far as possible, all things. |

I wonder if that female suicide bomber is with Allah now, picking out her 72 virgins in paradise? Islam is under attack by the crusaders from... erm, Islam. |

"I'm completely in favor of the separation of Church and State. My idea is that these two institutions screw us up enough on their own, so both of them together is certain death."

I have as much authority as the Pope, I just don't have as many people who believe it. |

We don't just need "seperation of church and state", what we truly need, is seperation of church and planet! |

If God is aware of suffering but chooses not to act, he's hardly what you'd call a good Samaritan! |

Stupid quote #1: |
"To assert that the earth revolves around the sun is as erroneous as to claim that Jesus was not born of a virgin."

"You do not need the bible to justify love, but no better tool has been invented to justify hate.". |

What's the difference between the pope and a voodoo witch doctor? None. Just two very different people proving how equally deluded all humans can be. |
