All of the man-made holy books should have this addendum. This is a work of fiction. Names, characters, places and incidents are either of the authors imagination or are used fictitiously. Any resemblance to actual events or any persons living or dead, is entirely coincidental. |

Popes never say anything meaningful but when they do it's usually in the form of an apology. |

Dr. Idel Dreimer |
Mankind -- and the other animals -- show that the universe is capable of consciousness, and wants to think. That makes the universe a very interesting place; it does not suggest benevolence, omnipotence, or life after death. |

150-200 BILLION stars like our sun in the Milky Way galaxy...150-200 BILLION other galaxies in the known universe, and Christians have the unmitigated GALL, supersized EGOS, CAJONES, AUDACITY, CHUTZPAH, to think a "God" chose our MICROSCOPIC planet in the ENTIRE universe, to leave his children to fend for themselves, and if they didn't WORSHIP him, they would burn in HELL for all ETERNITY?? |

We were convinced that the people need and require this faith. We have therefore undertaken the fight against the atheistic movement - Adolf Hitler, October 24, 1933 |

How blind, naïve,and ignorant most humans are, to believe that an ALL POWERFUL, ALL SEEING, ALL KNOWING, ALL OMNICIENT, ALL MERCIFUL, INVISIBLE God would create a universe in just six days, made up with the SAME space dust as our earth, moon, planets and sun, & having 200 BILLION galaxies, each containing 200 BILLION stars. Then create only ONE tiny planet in the ENTIRE universe, where he would leave his ONLY children that he loved, but gave no INSTRUCTION on how to survive in this hostile environment, or to unlock it's secrets, and condemned them to fend for themselves for MILLIONS of years. Yet INSIST that they WORSHIP him, or burn in a fiery hell for ALL ETERNITY! But this "PERFECT" God would then succumb to the very "human" need to REST on the seventh day... |

Heating tip 1: I have a wood burning stove and I also love to haunt charity shops.
When I find old bibles, prayer or hymn books and Korans, I snap them up for a pittance. They make ideal fuel during the cold dark winters.
Cheaper than buying logs and they throw out just as much heat.
Heating tip 2: Should you feel this practice is a little too sacrilegious, then, by all means sprinkle said books with oil of frankincense prior to burning. |

If I were granted omnipotence, and millions of years to experiment in, I should not think Man much to boast of as the final result of all my efforts - Bertrand Russell

Modern fanaticism thrives in proportion to the quantity of contradictions and nonsense it pours down the throats of the gaping multitude, and the jargon and mysticism it offers to their wonder and credulity. ― William Hazlitt |

Where religion is concerned, the reward for absurdity is reverence. |

All Gods suffer from the same fatal flaw: they are created in the image of man. Thus they are invariably tainted with a human pettiness which renders them unworthy of worship. |

“Faith can be very very dangerous, and deliberately to implant it into the vulnerable mind of an innocent child is a grievous wrong.â€

Let me tell you something, for hundreds of years, this kind of discussion would have been impossible to have, or those like us would have been having it at the risk of our lives. Religion now comes to us in this smiley face ingratiating way, because it's had to give so much more ground and because we know so much more. But you've got no right to forget the way it behaved when it was strong,and when it really did believe that it had God on its side.
Christopher Hitchens

Those who obtain their morality from god will one day have to accept the fact that they have allowed a fabricated lie to make their decisions for them. |

The god of the bible condoned slavery, rape, and genocide. How can this same god be expected to produce a set of Morales for us to live by? |

Prayer is like drinking. It doesn't actually help, it just makes you feel better til the next day when you feel even worse, and the same problem is still there. It's a way of distracting ourselves into believing that we are doing something, when we know that we can do nothing. |

Travis Culliton - "Why I love my Prozac" |
As a child, I feared upsetting the god that I had learned about, but that was because I was taught about hell, and who wants to go to hell as a child, right? |

Nothing in any religious teachings goes beyond Humanism, unless you add the supernatural...Make believe is the only difference between being human and being religious. |
|

Mr X |
About once or twice every month I engage in public debates with those whose pressing need it is to woo and to win the approval of supernatural beings. Very often, when I give my view that there is no supernatural dimension, and certainly not one that is only or especially available to the faithful, and that the natural world is wonderful enough—and even miraculous enough if you insist—I attract pitying looks and anxious questions. How, in that case, I am asked, do I find meaning and purpose in life? How does a mere and gross materialist, with no expectation of a life to come, decide what, if anything, is worth caring about?
Depending on my mood, I sometimes but not always refrain from pointing out what a breathtakingly insulting and patronizing question this is. (It is on a par with the equally subtle inquiry: Since you don't believe in our god, what stops you from stealing and lying and raping and killing to your heart's content?) Just as the answer to the latter question is: self-respect and the desire for the respect of others—while in the meantime it is precisely those who think they have divine permission who are truly capable of any atrocity—so the answer to the first question falls into two parts. A life that partakes even a little of friendship, love, irony, humor, parenthood, literature, and music, and the chance to take part in battles for the liberation of others cannot be called 'meaningless' except if the person living it is also an existentialist and elects to call it so. It could be that all existence is a pointless joke, but it is not in fact possible to live one's everyday life as if this were so. Whereas if one sought to define meaninglessness and futility, the idea that a human life should be expended in the guilty, fearful, self-obsessed propitiation of supernatural nonentities… but there, there. Enough. -- Christopher Hitchens. (One of my favs) |

Scepticism of God's existence is not necessarily a denial, it is merely an acknowledgement that the emperor still appears to be stark bollock naked. |

Bob Allen |
It is human self aggrandizement to think that a human-like persona could do a better job of producing all of nature than all of nature does producing and reproducing itself at every moment, in every detail. Nature can be defined as all that exists and all that occurs naturally. Humans are a small part of nature falling within the definition. |

If the rainbow came after Noah's flood then water droplets could not diffract sunlight into its constituent wavelengths before Noah's flood. If sunlight could not be diffracted into its wavelengths, each being a different colour, then Noah's world was without colour, it was at most monochrome. |

Christianity does not and will never allow personal ownership of one's successes and failures and completely dilutes individuality. |

I don’t want an argument that convinces me that the death under the guillotine of Sophie Scholl ... or of Anne Frank in Bergen-Belsen ultimately contributes to the greater good. If my eternal salvation depends on the deaths of these two young women, then forget it. - Michael Ruse |

Sign of the times:
Father, to ten year old son: "Christmas is just around the corner, son, and I think it's time I told you the truth. There is no Santa Claus."
Son: "I know, dad."
Father: "You've taken it very well. Aren't you even a little bit upset?"
Son: "No dad. I've suspected as much since I was six."
Father: "Oh. It's nice to see you growing up to appreciate the REAL adult world."
Son: "And dad."
Father: "Yes, son?"
Son: "I also know there is no god and no Jesus."
Father: "WHAT!!!! You silly little boy! What would YOU know about such things? Now go up to your room, put yourself to bed and pray for forgiveness! You STUPID boy!"
Son: "Yes father." |

When I was a child, I asked my Sunday school teacher what heaven was like. She explained in detail how we would worship God for eternity. I then asked her what hell was like. |

Creationists often say to me
"The evidence of creation is all around us"
but the evidence of evolution is all around us too.
It's the bit between the beginning and now that we disagree on. |

If there IS a god, as far too many believe, then that god must spend most of its time sitting on its hands with its eyes tightly shut whilst listening to the screams of terrified victims. |

If you truly enjoy investigating and solving the mysteries of the universe, choose science and not religion. |

Believers' will make claim that their god is spiritual and at the same time make claim that their god can speak and can also design and build.
How come their god can form IDEAS without having a brain?
How come their god can SPEAK without having vocal cords?
How come their god can MOVE things without having bone muscle and sinew?
I'm just an old man but I'll challenge any of their gods to a 'best of three' arm wrestling match to be followed by a 'best of three' at tic-tac-toe.
And then we finish off with a KARAOKE singing contest. |

Regarding the promised afterlife: Will it EVER be seen as the bogus/ false promise that it is?
Or will there always be some sh#theads who believe they deserve another life besides the one they already have and who will always be more than willing to pay good money out to the shysters in order to achieve it? |
