Sigmund Freud gave explanations of the genesis of religion in his various writings. In Totem and Taboo, he applied the idea of the Oedipus complex (involving unresolved sexual feelings of , for example, a son toward his mother and hostility toward his father) and postulated its emergence in primordial stage of human development.In Moses and Monotheism, Freud reconstructed biblical history in accordance with his general theory. His ideas were also developed in The Future of an illusion. When Freud spoke of religion as an illusion, he maintained that it is a fantacy structure from which a man must be free if he is to grow up to maturity.Freud views the idea of god as being a version of the father image, and religious belief as at bottom infantile and neurotic. Authoritarian religion, Freud belived, is disfunctional and alienates man from himself.

"Meaning of life" and "purpose of the Universe" are just abstract concepts inside your head. They do not necessarily have counterparts in objective reality. |

Fuck faith! I want in your face facts! |

One of THE greatest absurdities of life is that the average theist - holding on to his/her belief that some god is watching over them at all times - will still persist in practicing masturbation and fornication whilst in full view of him.
Furthermore they will even be prepared - when/if challenged - to compound the issue by denying/lying that they would do this sort of act.
Is that total hypocrisy or not? |

Life is like a poor player that struts and frets his hour upon the stage.

I tend to liken "Faith" to the other term "Gullibility".
If one is happy just to put their trust in faith, why bother with seatbelts, airbags, smoke alarms, lightning conductors etc?
In normal life we expect guarantees. Guarantees signed and sealed. When we purchase a new TV or refrigerator we are not prepared to accept a mere PROMISE that it will be OK for a period of time, we INSIST on a written warranty.
NO religion offers guarantees. Just promises. Empty promises at that. |

In the beginning our species had no idea what the sun moon and stars were.total eclipses of the sun and moon struck terror in them.earth quakes and tidal waves were the works of angry gods.over 200, 000 years our brains developed a need for religion to explain these.now that we can explain everything we no longer need religion. |

There is so little evidence that Jesus ever existed it should be embarrassing to Christians. And then to insist that one knows what this imaginary god wants, well that is just plain nuts.†|

I have it on good authority that the Holy Bible is all the PROOF needed that God exists.
Well, if that is the case, is the story of Jack and the Beanstalk PROOF that geese can lay golden eggs?

Most theists will rabidly defend their "beliefs", rather than admit that they were fooled into believing in a fairytale. |

If I were God I would be more offended by christians than by atheists. For atheists refuse to believe in a god that would allow pain, suffering and death.

Sunni killing shia, shia killing sunni, catholic killing protestant, protestant killing catholic, christians killing muslims, muslims killing christians. This is religion. |

Einstein had a set of the same clothes to wear everyday so he wouldn't waste any time and thought on what to wear. Faith is very similar to this way of thinking. |

People have no problem giving up Santa Claus because you won't get anymore toys. Why is god different, because burning in agony for all eternity scares the reason out of people. |

Education should be 100% about truth. Anything less than 100% truth is both dangerously harmful and insulting to human intelligence. |

To my brothers who are true to themselves and know the peace with the impermanence of our existence, this fleeting, temporary gift of life, I toast your sanity; To those incapable of accepting that truth, keep sucking on your pacifiers. |

Let no one mistake it for comedy, farcical though it may be in all its details. It serves notice on the country that Neanderthal man is organizing in these forlorn backwaters of the land, led by a fanatic, rid of sense and devoid of conscience.

The most innocent victim of any religion is an infant. They are born with the innate ability to investigate and research to learn about the world around them just as a scientist would but religion will always tear at the fabric of their minds as soon as they begin to question anything having to do with religion and will squelch their ability to question the religion they are being forced to follow and learn about. But even worse is that they are mainly forced to only learn one religion and be made to believe it is the best and the only way without ever deeply exploring many other religions so as to have an open mind. |

When I last appeared as a court witness I took along Charles Darwin's book "The Origin of Species" and asked if I could be sworn in holding that in my right hand. It was refused, but I was allowed to PROMISE to tell the truth without holding any holy book.
Next time I'll take Grimm's Fairy Tales and see if I'm allowed to be sworn in on that. |

In theism, God is the creator and sustainer of the universe. When I see in the world, thousands of dead in terrorist attacks motivated by religious faith, the head of the Catholic Church visiting Africa and asking to a pregnant and starving woman do not use condoms , because it is a sin , rich missionaries selling to a poor people a place in the heaven , it seems that god is not being able to sustain his creation .

No one is born an atheist. You become one, when your conscience begins questioning the contradictions of religion . I became an atheist in adolescence and confess that the decision was not easy . Today I'm proud to say I made the best decision of my life . |

If you can define your God, I can show the same God to you. ( I need specifications in the definition. Don't use generalization. It should not be abstract too. Don't use the words like infinite, divine, supreme, eternal,spiritual, transcendent, big light, big power, almighty, omni... ) |

URGENT RECALL OF THE HOLY BIBLE AND OTHER SUCH BOOKS!
After the recall it is intended that the publishers will edit out all the irrelevant crap, all the untruths and all reference to "dreams, visions, angels and gods". Then they will be re-issued in business card sized format so's it's easier to slip one into a wallet or purse for emergencies.

a 3 year old is innocent but that didn't stop your "loving" god from drowning all those little kids in the great flood. I'm sure you will say some nonsense like they are now with god. The Bible is full of stories of god killing kids, lets be happy it's made up. |

I don't believe in god. There's no proof he exists. In a world where there isn't even proof of the future, the past exists. Even if it's tainted with misunderstandings and delusions, if the people themselves believe in it, the past is the truth to them. And, if you base your actions or life around it, in a way, it's a type of god itself. |

The shears of religion are not wielded against the nonbeliever–that would be useless–but used to clip the gullible sheep themselves. |
