If science is man's eyes, religion is man's blindfold. |

Simple questions to ask every Christian regarding the crucifixion.
When you die the heart stops, the brain dies and rigor mortis sets in. Every one of the billions of cells that make you now disintegrates.
In the Bible, Jesus brings a dead person back to life. Lazarus. This would involve completely rebuilding every one of those many billions of cells. Restoring every single strand of DNA. Replacing thousands of genes. Restoring every thought. The authors of this story have therefore created someone who cannot possibly be killed. How do you kill someone who can completely reverse death down to the very last molecule?
Jesus is dead. He is taken down from the cross, wrapped in a shroud and placed in a tomb. He lay there for three days. During these three days, where’s Jesus? Christians claim to believe in a Heaven. When you die you go to Heaven, therefore Jesus must have gone to Heaven.
After three days in Heaven, (playing pool and having a few beers with the boys perhaps!) Jesus is beamed back down to Earth to re-enter a body that has itself been decomposing for three days. Once again Jesus would have to completely rebuild an entire human body. Except, for the holes in the hands that is. Couldn’t fix those apparently.
Jesus leaves his tomb, has a chat with a few people, and then beams back up to Heaven. So where is the body now?

"...those who live by mystery & charlatanerie, fearing you would render them useless by simplifying the Christian philosophy, the most sublime & benevolent, but most perverted system that ever shone on man, endeavored to crush your well earnt, & well deserved fame." - Thomas Jefferson to Joseph Priestley, Washington, 21 March 1801.

religion's way of argument:
1) koran is real because allah sent it
2) allah is real because mohamed told so and
3) mohamed is stated as the last prophet in the koran.
it's a vicious circle and is applicable to almost all the religions. |

"Catholic church suspends 21 priests suspected of child abuse."
If the church had enough evidence to suspend 21 priests, why didn't they turn them over to the police?

The theory seems to be that as long as a man is a failure he is one of God's children, but that as soon as he succeeds he is taken over by the Devil.

I've already rewritten the Old Testament after removing all the lies, fairy tales and other bullshit. I wrote it on the back of a cigarette packet. There's lots of room left over on that cigarette packet to rewrite the New Testament AND the Koran |

When we study Greek History ,we find greek mythology was an integral part of that
society. Today we have no doubt that Zeus, Posiedon,etc etc are imaginary gods invented to explain natural events, and as placeholders until real science proved otherwise. How is it that the same 'blind faith' in an imaginery all powerful god has survived the truth of todays science? Because of the MONEY it generates. |

There is a good reason why the U.S. Constitution's 1st Amendment establishes a "wall of separation" between religion and government. You don't see any laws establishing such a wall between science and government do you? |

Whilst perusing the quotes on Ask Atheists I note that many theists and atheists have a few bad things in common. Bad spelling, bad grammar and bad punctuation. Please take note. |

When science finally claims discovery of the missing quantum particle that unlocks the nature of creation. You can bet the Church & Christianity will try to lay claim it as their's all along,calling it the god particle. |

The Church of Scientology as per L.Ron Hubbard is based on nothing more than a load of psudo scientific clap trap, non of which is the faintest bit believable anyway. Hubbard just wanted to be another guru & make a nice tidy wad for himself as most gurus do. |

Religion was born in the ignorance of primitive human societies. The more we have developed, the more we learn about the nature of our universe, the less we need fantastic creators to understand the world around us. The word god is synonymous with the word unknown. |

"Any religious doctrine that requires a human to be condemned to eternal suffering for simply denying the existence of a Deity and their son’s claims of the supernatural is morally bankrupt" |

Some of the greatest minds throughout history have fallen to the sword of Christianity. Anyone who is connected to that religion is complicit in the murder of those many innocents and thus should be retrospectively punished.

Priests and pastors rarely quote these from St. Paul: - If you accuse a Christian of lying, you deserve damnation (Rom 3:8). - Gays and lesbians should be murdered (Rom 1:26-32). - Knowledge is NOT good (1Cor 8:1-2). - Women must shut up in church (1Cor 14:34) |

It may start with a judge ruling that a straight baker doesn’t have to bake a gay couple a wedding cake because of his religious beliefs, but what's certain to happen at some point is a "Christian" physician or nurse will refuse to provide a gay person, a person of another religious denomination, or an atheist, medical care because it goes against his/her beliefs. The direct result of this could literally be death. |

God’s perfect plan?
I’m sure the thousands of impoverished people in the world, starving to death and just hoping for a bowl of protein slop once a day from some charity relief organization, really appreciate god’s perfect plan.
