Faith is intellectual bankruptcy. Accepting a view on faith is admitting that it cannot be accepted on its own merit. |
|
| Thomathiest |
We will live in better times when we, as a whole, learn to dismiss The Bible as nothing more than a mear early day Harry Potter book. |

I saw a heroin addict practising his own religion the other day. He had a brief moment of ecstasy followed by brain damage and a craving for more. |

Atheism: where the only thing you worship is your free time. |
|
|
Jerry Dees Jr |
Religion dropped anchor in the dark ages and science has been slowly but consistently dragging them into the future. They've had no choice but to evolve their Religion along the way. For religious people love the spoils that science and learning have provided. But it has not been easy for science. Religion has kicked and screamed the entire way. |

It saddens me to acknowledge that certain people currently believe the Earth is flat, confined within a globe, and resting on a divine pedestal. |

I find it interesting when theists claim the Bible's validity is confirmed by archeologists' use of the text to discover actual places, ignoring the widespread literary practice of incorporating real locations into fictional tales. |

We don’t need to just tolerate each other; we need to accept each other. We can accept others without necessarily accepting their views and beliefs but respecting their right to hold such beliefs. When those beliefs however are forced upon us by law-makers because of lobbying by religionists, and they start impacting us in negative and harmful ways, we must speak out. “Freedom of Religion†is as important as “Freedom from Religionâ€. We are all free to express that “freedom†in our own way. It is not freedom for everyone if we force our religious views on those who don’t believe them nor accept them. |

The Thinking Atheist |
Assume nothing. Question everything. And start thinking for yourself! |

Dan Barker |
But purpose is personal. It can’t be right or wrong. It can’t be true or false. It can’t not be about you. It’s how you decide to live your own life. If someone else tells you how to live, you are not free. If you don’t choose your own purpose, you are nothing but a slave. |

I can't believe that Muslims pray 5 times a day, fast a whole month and follow the anti life teachings just to secure a place in heaven to play harp for the sick monster. |

Often, I hear Americans (more specifically on the left, sometimes the right) defend Muslims. Yet I never hear about people defending atheists, unless if that person happens to be an atheist. As an atheist, I can be given the death sentence in at least 13 countries. In so many more, I can be murdered by people with meat cleavers or the like, and the police wouldn't give a damn. I am discriminated against in MANY countries. In the US, I can't serve in Government in 8 states (last I checked). I can lose my children in a divorce custody battle if my ex-partner is religious. I am given less priority for, say, a kidney, as a religious person is. Crimes against atheists are rising at a fast, and ghastly, rate. People can openly discriminate against atheists. I can lose my job just for telling people that I am an atheist. The list goes on.
And yet people have the audacity to tell me that I'm "privileged"? That I have it better? I'm sorry, but I'm not the one who kills others simply for their religious beliefs. In Muslim-dominated countries, I have the least rights. I am very likely to get killed, murdered, or other, just for being atheist.
I am NOT privileged. Look for privilege before you wrongly assign it. |

Faith is duping and deceiving oneself into believing something that is contrary to evidence, reason, or fact. |

Q: How many souls can you get in a shoe-box? A: 100 Billion, but you have to take the shoes out first. |

Historical inaccuracies are common in the Bible, but the tall tale about why they went to Bethlehem is enough to even make a Texan blush. |
|

Men of faith, why stand mouths agape gazing into the sky? Jesus, who you believe was taken from you into heaven, was not real. You have been deceived, for like all other gods and sons of gods, your God is a myth. |
|

Education is the genesis of understanding, but both fools and those of faith fear knowledge, ignore true, shun the wise and despise reason, for any one of these will shatter their cherished dreams and expose their grand delusions.

One who chooses to reject science with a closed mind, resigns oneself to ignorance and ridicule. One who accepts science with an open mind, will not only share the exhilaration of discovery, but inherit a universe to explore. |

The South African Constitutional Law That People Have The Right To Believe What They Want Is Misleading. People Must Believe What Is True Not What They Want. |

If there were a god, there wouldn't be Atheists. Since there are Atheists, there's no god. |

The more I see status about god, or satan or even jesus on social media, the more I realise how religion had damaged the minds of my fellow Africans. |

Beats me why some people hanker after the afterlife MORE than they appreciate and make the most of THIS life they've got. |

Why is there no evidence (proof) of this outside of the Christian bible? There were many literate civilizations during this supposed event. Oh right... it was made up (fiction).

Answer this question for me Christians…
Why would a supposedly benevolent god give a televangelist a ten million dollar mega-church, $5,000 suits, and an enormous mansion to live in while leaving thousands of people starving to death in third world countries?

By scale of reference to the size of the universe, our planet can be likened to just one atomic particle that makes up our planet. |

Have you ever wondered why the Bible’s “Book of Revelation†(a future prophecy) mentions nothing of modern technology (i.e., computers, aircraft, missiles)? I don’t. It’s simply because the ancient old men who wrote it didn’t have such technology to reference for their fictional book! |

It's unbelievable how some folk - even today - take that Noah's Ark story seriously. Those same people will even believe that a man walked on water and could even cure the sick with a touch of his hand.
But try telling them that humans are just another species of ape and that there's no such thing as life after death and they go ballistic.
Strange, isn't it? |

On Halloween I wore a mask that gave me a very narrow, obstructed view of the world. I felt like a Christian! |

If Christians really cared for the poor they would stop building mega churches and start building mega homeless shelters. |

Once you start to experience sufferings and hard time: and overcome them by critical thinking and hard work,without doing prayers and bending your knees to God...You will gradually get rid the concept of God from your life.... |

Why doesn't god just appear to all of the atheists in the world at the same time and clear things up?
Oh yeah, I know. It's because he, she, or it DOES NOT EXIST! |

Atheism:
Because one should never base their life decisions on fictional characters! |

The existence of blasphemy laws is solid proof that the religion being shielded by them, cannot compete in the marketplace of ideas. |

It was coming up to Christmas when I spotted a guy in a charity shop in town buying up bibles. Asked why, he replied:
"It's cold out there so I've decided to organise a bonfire for the homeless." |

I love reading the Bible. It's Atheist propaganda. |
|
|
Dr. Jerry Coyne |
A common argument for why religion and science are compatible is that there are scientists who believe in religion and religious people who believe in science. It's like saying that Catholicism and pedophilia are compatible because there are a lot of Catholic priests who are pedophiles. |

If the design of this world is intelligent, one could easily argue that God cares more for fishes than for human beings, since he gave fish three times as much space to flourish than he gave us.

I recently drove by a church marquee that read “Heaven or Hell? You Choose! Details Inside…†I decided a trip to the library was a better use of my time. |

Peddlers of myth and perpetuators of dangerous cults

Any system of belief that requires certain members (priests, nuns) to abstain from natural biological urges (sex) for a life time is in no position to advise or criticize another person's sexuality. |

As the most advanced being in the universe, the god of the bible should welcome a thorough examination of “his word†to prove that it is genuine and flawless. Yet for some reason, he promotes “blind faith†over any type of examination of the “good book.†|

Pat Simons |
The evangelical preachers talk about their loving Jesus and the glorious afterlife, but they crave nothing so much as power and wealth in this world. Power few groups would be more ill-equipped to exercise. |

If indeed an empathetic, loving god ran the universe, it would undoubtedly display significantly better moral character than the god portrayed in the bible. |

If "god" is always "the answer" to your questions, it's likely that you should've stayed in school longer and took a few more science and mathematics courses. |
