David Greenfields Religion is a crutch for ignorance
P Z Myers P Z Myers It's one thing to tell your kids that a jolly, bearded old guy who knows if you've been bad or good and dispenses presents accordingly doesn't really exist; apparently it's quite another to tell your kids that a vengeful, bearded old guy who knows if you've been bad or good and dispenses damnation accordingly doesn't really exist.
Alan Harvey Alan Harvey If the universe was 'intelligently designed', makes you wonder what it was 'intelligently designed' FOR? It certainly wasn't designed with our species, or any other living thing in mind.
Ella Vanoise Ella Vanoise This 'speaking in tongues' nonsense is a load of txhwgydgfjed.
Ivan Ratoyevsky I had to laugh out loud because the church got so upset by an advert on the side of a bus saying "there's probably no god relax don't worry enjoy your life" now the church is taking the humanist society to the ASA for telling untruths?? So the church now claims to be the sole arbitrator of THE ONE AND ONLY TRUTH!! smilie face)
Baron von Knifty Baron von Knifty The Ten Commandments are bullshit. If you honestly believe that #4, “Remember the Sabbath” is more important than, say, “Don’t hate people different from you” then you are full of shit, too.

Esiah Zakite Esiah Zakite There is no aspect of personality which cannot be altered through brain damage. So if we rely on our physical brains for every aspect of our 'selves' what exactly is the nature of this 'soul' the religious talk about? It is, like god, a comforting myth.
o TAK u "You can never truly grasp that which is never there."

Baron von Knifty Baron von Knifty Christians claim the image on the shroud of Turin is their savior. The shroud has been carbon-dated circa 1350. Did your supposed j*sus rise from the dead and ascend into heaven, or is the shroud a fake? Which is it? Either way the church lies.

Baron von Knifty Baron von Knifty Religion is a loaded pistol, handed to a five-year old.

Voltaire (1694-1778) "Now, now my good man, this is no time for making enemies."
Voltaire on his deathbed in response to a priest asking that he renounce Satan.
Michael Hughes If there is only one universal god, there can only be one universal religion, which obviously does not exist.
Ergo, god does not exist.
Alex Vietheer What is Heaven but a place filled with all the people who need a being to blame their own mistakes on, all the cowards in the world, everyone scared of the truth. While hell on the other hand is filled with "The Sinners." The people that were smart enough to question the mainstream. the people that would not sit back and let a fake being control their lives. All of the great thinkers and philosophers in the world. And if Hell burns me for eternity then so be it. I would rather burn in Hell till the end of time than be catagorized with the Cowards of Heaven.
Ella Vanoise Ella Vanoise In the beginning Man was really dumb... and He said "Let there be a God" And Lo... it all started to go a bit pear shaped after that.
Esiah Zakite Esiah Zakite If Jesus wants to save us, why doesn't he just get on with it instead of all this "Now you see me, now you don't" bullshit?
Incensed Incensed Atheism's great. It makes you realise how stupid most people are. And it can even make you realise how stupid you used to be yourself...
Prof Uri Nassol Prof Uri Nassol If I threaten to kill my children unless they worship me, am I good parent? OK, maybe that's a little bit extreme. Maybe I should just allow someone to torture them for eternity instead.
Allah Verpint Allah Verpint What is god actually doing to help innocent babies that are dying slow, painful deaths? He's too busy working in mysterious ways no doubt...
Stupid quote #2: Stupid quote #2: "We don't have to protect the environment, the Second Coming is at hand."

--James Watt, Secretary of the Interior during the Regan years.
Prof Uri Nassol Prof Uri Nassol When a theist says they've been "born again" it does help explain their return to thinking like children and indulging in wishful fantasies. In children it's endearing... in adults it's just sad.
Ivan Ratoyevsky Atheists have inherited a sense of morality, what is right & wrong, it comes hardwired from our evolutionary past i.e. our ancient ancestors. A moral sense is not dependent on religion or from God or from the bible.
Larry Rhodes If you insist that everyone has faith in something, then I'll admit that my faith lies in the human ability to deal with the real world using human reason and compassion. I have faith that we are not born as flawed sinners; we are born whole, with brains capable of dealing with life's challenges unassisted by mythology and supernatural belief systems.
Allah Verpint Allah Verpint God gets jealous? Jealous of other Gods? Jealous of Gods which he knows don't even exist? The guy needs therapy...
Isaac Asimov If I were not an atheist, I would believe in a God who would choose to save people on the basis of the totality of their lives and not the pattern of their words. I think he would prefer an honest and righteous atheist to a TV preacher whose every word is God, God, God, and whose every deed is foul, foul, foul.
Ivan Ratoyevsky ONLY humans could invent religion which turns out to be the most destructive force on the planet. Only habitat destruction & climate change come close.

Adolf Hitler (1933 Speech) "We have undertaken the fight against the atheistic movement, and that not merely with a few theoretical declarations: we have stamped it out."
bertrand russell bertrand russell If I were to suggest that between the Earth and Mars there is a china teapot revolving about the sun in an elliptical orbit, nobody would be able to disprove my assertion provided I were careful to add that the teapot is too small to be revealed even by our most powerful telescopes. But if I were to go on to say that, since my assertion cannot be disproved, it is an intolerable presumption on the part of human reason to doubt it, I should rightly be thought to be talking nonsense. If, however, the existence of such a teapot were affirmed in ancient books, taught as the sacred truth every Sunday, and instilled into the minds of children at school, hesitation to believe in its existence would become a mark of eccentricity and entitle the doubter to the attentions of the psychiatrist in an enlightened age or of the Inquisitor in an earlier time

Godfrey Zoan If god is our father and nature is our mother, they should be charged with child abuse!
Anon When the behavior of churches is so obviously human it is astonishing to me that anyone could see them as divinely inspired.
Baron von Knifty Baron von Knifty At one point in our life each of us has contemplated our own mortality. And, believe me, we all wish our death in some respect would be a continuation of our life. That is human nature, instinct, self preservation and all that. But to respect the delusion of religion is to deny honesty, truth and your own common sense.

Ivan Ratoyevsky If man is made in the image of god? then god must be an angry murdering, lying, cheating bastard, who rapes & kills with a cold unforgiving heart.
Baron von Knifty Baron von Knifty What I’d like to see in this country is a lot less religion and a lot more personal responsibility.

Baron von Knifty Baron von Knifty You believe in your religion, but no other. I don’t believe in any religion. You want me to respect your belief, but you refuse to respect my non-belief.
Allah Verpint The birthplace of religion is anthropomorphism. Stop seeing the universe from a purely human perspective and there is no reason to look for gods.
Alan Harvey Alan Harvey The only belief we really need is self-belief.
Halil Kaya Ok, im willing to believe in your god, so long as you can prove its existence - I will be right here when you fail to come up with proof.
Steven is AreS If everything has a creator,
then who created God?
George Quinones Ever played telephone? You know how at the end of the line the secret is different? People change it from the original secret as it passes! Apply that to the bible! I don't have a mind for passed down and altered stories, but I do have a mind for the one I am writing myself!
Dave Hale I do not believe in ghosts, holy or otherwise.
Baron von Knifty Isn’t it a sick irony that those pedophile priests who are allowed by the Catholic church to sodomize the altar boys are barred by sacred tenets from using a condom.

Lucy Stewart Anyone who claims to have seen god are one of two things - a liar, or delusional.
Lucy Stewart Why do creationists seem to think that claiming Yahweh was responsible for the creation of this world somehow explains HOW he created it? It's fine to claim god did it, but that still hasn't told us HOW! Surely when so confidently making such an assertion, there is some real REASON beyond the belief? I have still never had anyone explain how, even though they all so confidently tell me that god did it, if they are so sure god did it, then they should be sure HOW he did it!!
