NoGods4Me Even if the god, as described in the torah/bible/koran, really does exist...I still would not want to have anything to do with such a vile, disgusting creature! Why do theists want to be slaves to this fairytale monster? Because they haven't a clue as to what is really written in their so-called "holy books".
Jack McDowell Scientology is the best joke I have ever heard!
Christopher Hitchens Christopher Hitchens There, by the grace of God, goes someone else.
Essiah Zakite So, cutting a young boys penis for no good reason is ok? There really was a talking snake in Eden? Oh, and magic fruit? Plus, Noah got two of all the millions of species onto the Ark? Moses endorsed slavery, rape and genocide? Torah is always right!
A. Grefer Religion is a contagious disease, transmitted from the parents to the child. You can only cure it if you break the chain of infection.
gray Religion gives you a perfect God that creates a faulty being, then punishes you for doing what's natural. Should he not then be punished instead?
N8Max Life is harsh and reality is sometimes not ideal. Escapism comes in many forms but none as deadly as that which stems from the conflicts that arise from religious differences.
Alex I'd go as far as to say Atheists are often MORE moral than so called people of faith. Atheists have no god to dump the blame on,an Atheist has to live with & be fully responsible for their own mistakes. They only have themselves to forgive they don't have an imaginary god to do it for them?
nick quality of life is not determined by how much you believe in an imaginary man in the sky
A. Grefer Religion is Reason, clubbed to death with superstition and ignorance
Alex I say it takes a brave person to be an Atheist. a) Atheist's often don't conform to social norms b) Have to stand by their moral choices on a personal level, c) have to face their fears alone without any imaginary friend to hold their hand.

Alex Sadly, don't confuse belief with truth they are NOT one & the same thing!!
June VanDerMark Many doctrines were taught, and many believed,
But mortal humans are easily deceived.
June VanDerMark I believe that more often than not, the intent of prayer is actually a needy urge to manipulate.
Travis Morgan Prayer without action is hopeless. Action without prayer is efficient.
Jonathan Chow People who put their lives in god’s hand are the people who will fail miserably in life. - Jonathan Chow

Ruth Hurmence Green "It is possible to pull out justification for imposing your will on others, simply by calling your will God's will."
Arthur Schopenhauer "Religions are like glow worms: they need darkness in order to shine. A certain degree of general ignorance is the condition for the existence of any religion, the element in which alone it is able to live."
Gilker Kimmel You can lead a person to reason but you can't make them think.
KYLE There is no logic or reason in religion. A religious man can lead a life of sin full of rape, stealing and murder. Then on his death bed ask for forgiveness from god and go to heaven. On the other hand, an atheist man could be a good person; had good morals and was nice to people etc. But when he dies he gets sent to hell where he will spend an eternity burning. Hmm.
Alex Jack, the thing you DON'T GET is that hell is a Christian concept. Atheists don't believe in the idea of Hell, Satan, Heaven or God.
Baron von Knifty Evidentally, the only requirement needed to prove a god is to simply intimidate others to believe there is.

And so Adam lay with Eve and nine months later brought forth a son and then later a daughter. Mmmmmmm. Sounds very much like a bit of incest could be in the offing. Still, at least they didn't have ALL sons.
Diane Fadden Diane Fadden So god looks at his sons gathered around him; Mithra, Attis, Krishna, Horus, Jesus, then says,"ok, who wants to go first?"
stentar I was told from an early age that the tooth fairy existed, but I did not really believe it, apart from the evidence of my tooth disappearing from under my pillow.
Which is just about 100% more evidence for the existence of god.
June VanDerMark Missionaries are blinded by their own inability to understand that they have beliefs, and that beliefs do not guarantee that the believers know truth.
Baron von Knifty Science has given us a better life in just two hundred years than religion has in two thousand years.
Jesus H Christ LOL @ Michael, the godbot....I don't love you, dude, I feel sorry for you. You are just delusional. On April 1st I will point and LOL @ you poor fools who still believe in gods.
Alex How can you have an actual relationship with an entity (god) that doesn't exist? ANS: You cannot !. Therefore praying is only talking to yourself. Talking to yourself is commonly one of the first signs of madness. Therefore I say god & religion is madness & delusion.
Darwinian My favourite proof for evolution being true is that it is a falsifiable scientific theory that has stood up to all the tests made of it and is backed up by at least 150 years of study made by countless intelligent, diligent and fastidious individuals who have dedicated their lives to the truth as opposed to creationism which is an ancient story written down by desert tribes people who simply couldn't have known any better that we are supposed to believe without question because is has been written down in an ancient book and must be true because it is the word of an omnipotent, omniscient entity who inspired the writing of this book that we know to be true because the book tells us so.

At some point you really do have to wake up and inhale the heady aromas of that freshly brewed coffea arabica.
Colin Bridge From the 1940's I recall a minister directing a class of primary school kids to repeat such utterings from the apostle's creed as "The holy father"s only son, who was born of a VIRGIN,later died and rose from the dead to enter heaven....that we believed in the holy ghost,the holy catholic church, the resurrection of the body, life everlasting etc...." I was among those kids and not one of us was aware that we were being subjected to child abuse.

Baron von Knifty Soldiers pray before battle that they will survive. If praying actually worked, then why not pray that the war will end before the battle begins?
Baron von Knifty Two big fallacies of religions are; reality can be concocted and truth can be corrupted.
Baron von Knifty It’s okay to hate. Hate is only a matter of degrees. I hate corned beef hash and I also hate religion. I can stay away from hash. I can’t ignore stupidity.
Baron von Knifty Religion has never set anyone free, but it has set quite a large number on fire.
Jazz The pope has told the British that we are discriminating against the religionists by not allowing them to discriminate against gays and women. i would think my real friends are worth more than his imaginary one.
Sebnem I do not steal, cheat, lie, kill, discriminate or gossip. If there is someone who deserves to go to heaven, it will be me. The only thing is; I don't believe in it.
Jonathan Chow Imagine all the money people give to the church, imagine how many poor people we could of saved if they hadn’t. – Jonathan Chow

2000 years ago, crucifixion would've been the standard punishment for parking one's chariot at the side of a public urinal.
EA Miller EA Miller “A question for theists. If your side of the argument has the truth, then why do you need to: misrepresent science, quote mine, and use strawman fallacies? Just wondering why lying for Jesus is a thing.” -Stephen George

- Deuteronomy 22:13-21
EA Miller EA Miller All religions eventually fade into myth and their influence in turn also fades away. Let's just hope this happens soon to the current major religions before their superstition lays waste to the entire planet.
