Cannot remember who said it, but "hell is other people" and I think that's a very profound statement. I agree other people can really ruin the quality of living, even though we have to share the same planet. |

Hell must be like an overcrowded concentration camp... |

Religion was the result of a hostile and ignorant period of time. The only thing keeping it around is brainwashing. |

So you believe in god and that he'll take care of you and answer your prayers? So stop taking your science-made medication right now then. I'm sure if you pray god will listen and you'll be fine...oh what's that you say...just in case you're covering your bases? Wow, your faith is strong ';-) |

Atheists don't fear Satan's Hell... or Gehenna(Jew hell)... or Jahannam(Muslim hell)... or reincarntaion... or Hades... or becoming a poltergeist... ect. When we die, our conscious and unconscious minds simply shut down and cadavers rot. Period. |

Religion's hocus pocus conjecture of deity poses as the poster child for brainwashing. |

Good & Evil, God & Devil, Believers & faithful verses heathen & non believers,etc. Question, who invented duality in the first place? Humans of course. Therefore I say that if evil exists then mankind created it. Therefore God is man-kinds creation alone. |

Took god six days to create earth and less than a day to create the sun? |

As far as I can tell from studying the scriptures, all you do in heaven is pretty much just sit around all day and praise the imaginary guy who is sitting on a throne, eating grapes and stroking his beard. Dont know about you but Im sure after the first, oh, 50,000 years I would be a little bored. |

Being an Atheist means you are prepared to think outside the box as it were. It means you are prepared to think for yourself as an individual & not be a sheep. Atheists examine the evidence & then make their own mind up. |

So, theists really brand atheists as evil, do they?
Then, people who believe differently are evil.
So if I say, you're friggin ugly, and you disagree. Does that mean that you're evilly ugly? |

| Adrew Silock (No, this is not a mispelling) |
There is very little difference between God and Santa.
Santa rewards you if you are good and stick to his rules - however he is dismissed as false by adults.
God rewards you if you are good and stick to his rules - he is accepted by a large majority of the adults who don't believe in Santa.

As a declared atheist, people will often ask; "But can you PROVE there is no God?"
But why should I have to PROVE a fairy tale to be false when I KNOW it isn't true? I'm only a mere mortal and yet I can do anything any god can do. |

Psychiatrists have proved why we believe in gods. It is a cognitive byproduct used for comfort. It's the same reason we half of all 4 year olds have an imaginary friend. You can learn more about it on this video made of this years Atheist Convention in Atlanta, GA http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1iMmvu9eMrg |

Other people take gods existence & religion "extremely" personally even if you or I don't. Therefore perhaps its cruel to kick away another person crutches even if you can walk without assistence yourself. |

Why would a kind and loving god have made me feel so randy after prohibiting fornication? What would he have expected me to do? |
|
| Thomas Carlyle |
If Jesus Christ were to come today, people would not even crucify him. They would ask him to dinner, and hear what he had to say, and make fun of it. |

| Albert Camus |
If there is a sin against life, it consists perhaps not so much in despairing of life as in hoping for another life and in eluding the implacable grandeur of this life. |

| L. Sprague de Camp |
It does not pay a prophet to be too specific. |
|
| Luther Burbank, Dec. 1924 |
The idea that a good God would send people to a burning Hell is utterly damnable to me. The ravings of insanity! Superstition gone to seed! I don’t want to have anything to do with such a God. No avenging Jewish God, no satanic devil, no fiery hell is of any interest to me. |

| Sir Hermann Bondi |
Religion divides us, while it is our human characteristics that bind us to each other. |

Voltaire |
"If God did not exist, it would be necessary to invent him." |

The Bible doesn’t forbid suicide. It’s Catholic directive, intended to slow down their loss of martyrs. |
|
| Stephen King, Author |
"The beauty of religious mania is that it has the power to explain everything. Once God (or Satan) is accepted as the first cause of everything which happens in the mortal world, nothing is left to chance...logic can be happily tossed out the window." |

I'm an atheist, and that's it. I believe there's nothing we can know except that we should be kind to each other and do what we can for each other. -Ladies Home Journal, Oct. 1991 |

It was six men of Indostan
To learning much inclined,
Who went to see the Elephant
(Though all of them were blind),
That each by observation
Might satisfy his mind.
The First approach'd the Elephant,
And happening to fall
Against his broad and sturdy side,
At once began to bawl:
"God bless me! but the Elephant
Is very like a wall!"
The Second, feeling of the tusk,
Cried, -"Ho! what have we here
So very round and smooth and sharp?
To me 'tis mighty clear
This wonder of an Elephant
Is very like a spear!"
The Third approached the animal,
And happening to take
The squirming trunk within his hands,
Thus boldly up and spake:
"I see," quoth he, "the Elephant
Is very like a snake!"
The Fourth reached out his eager hand,
And felt about the knee.
"What most this wondrous beast is like
Is mighty plain," quoth he,
"'Tis clear enough the Elephant
Is very like a tree!"
The Fifth, who chanced to touch the ear,
Said: "E'en the blindest man
Can tell what this resembles most;
Deny the fact who can,
This marvel of an Elephant
Is very like a fan!"
The Sixth no sooner had begun
About the beast to grope,
Then, seizing on the swinging tail
That fell within his scope,
"I see," quoth he, "the Elephant
Is very like a rope!"
And so these men of Indostan
Disputed loud and long,
Each in his own opinion
Exceeding stiff and strong,
Though each was partly in the right,
And all were in the wrong!
MORAL.
So oft in theologic wars,
The disputants, I ween,
Rail on in utter ignorance
Of what each other mean,
And prate about an Elephant
Not one of them has seen!

Religions are man made and are forced form birth onto the next generation. There are no fair and balanced religious upbringing teachings that I am aware of. No multi choice -pick your own religion - early ed books. People are what they learn to be until they learn independence for themselves, and question what they are. To live inside the guilt of someone else's belief system must be horrendous. |

There is no God but our God
The humble Christians say.
There is no God but our God.
To Him alone we pray.
What of the others by the score,
Gods just as great and mighty.
Of Allah, Odin, Jove and Thor,
Venus and Aphrodite.
If to the one alone we pray,
And He is just a faker (fakir?),
There surely will be Hell to pay
When we meet our maker.
So, good Christians take my advice.
Don't be so egotistic.
And on occasion in your prayers
Address some other mystic.
Remember there have been a score,
A hundred, thousands, maybe more.
To say there is but one God
Might make the others sore.
Good Christians believe in one God.
Myself, I must confess,
Am not so very different.
I believe in just one less. |

Belief in the supernatural reflects a failure of the imagination. |
|
| Anonymus |
I prefer the term "the magic man" to the term "god". I think it puts faith and religion into perspective. That's also why I prefer the term "non-atheist" to the term "religious". |

You can either believe thousands of years of religious myth or thousands of years of scientific progress. You can’t have it both ways. |

Catholicism:
When men wearing gowns, incessant standing and kneeling, magic holy water, and believing that you’re eating the actual body and drinking the actual blood of your savior seems perfectly normal to you!

When thinking isn’t your thing and joining a cult sounds appealing.

Everyone is an athiest, as there are many gods, and everyone believes in one, therefore, doesn’t believe in the balance. |

No matter of science was ever resolved through a debate. In science, evidence and testability are the only things that matter.Therefore, when the creationist wants to debate evolution, they've already lost the argument. They're just too full of supernatural nonsense to realize it. |

At this point in my life, I honestly believe that it would be easier to come up with a cure for Parkinson's disease than to free a religious person from a deeply entrenched indoctrination. |
