The theist will say that everybody needs purpose in life. As an atheist I feel I've found mine.

You can tell a belief system is outrageous when it's followers must reject all sense of reason in order to sustain it. |

"Prayer",... The self serving act of disrespectfully begging your master to change his "plan" that you believe he designed & bestowed in the first place :) |

In the old days, God spake to the people from the thundercloud and carved letters of fire on tablets of stone. These days he doesn't even have a Twitter account. |

The current rise in Islamic violence is nothing to be surprised at. The seeds of violence and anger are already sown in the holy scriptures. I might also say they are SEWN into them.
And of course MAN did the sowing/sewing. |

I don't disbelieve that God exists because the confidence scam named God certainly exists. |
|
|
debbie sumsion |
One might be asked how you can prove that God doesn't exist? One can only reply that it is scarcely necessary to disprove what has never been proven. |

Christianity incites apathy directly from its teachings, just remember kids, don't take action, pray. |

There are far too many dream sequences in the holy books for my liking. Dreams were very much overrated in those days and taken very seriously. It's a bloody good job I can't get arrested for what I do in my dream time. |

Travis Culliton - "Why I love my Prozac" |
I believe in my fellow man, I believe in the beauty of the world and the universe, I have morals that are based on loving all that is around me to the best of my ability, I look at a starving child and I want to help. I believe in many things, I just don’t believe in a god or a bigger plan. |

I do not judge the individual based on their belief. If I were to, then I would, undoubtedly, be no better than the (religious) system that I frown upon. |

If people seek to gain some comfort in believing fairy tales, so be it. But would you PLEASE stop those assholes who take great delight and gain perverted satisfaction from murdering in the name of THEIR fairy tale character whilst chopping heads of the others who don't!!! |

A thought to dwell on: ALL gods' are younger than Mankind. |

I always took it for granted that confidence tricksters and scammers were criminals. But apparently if it's carried out in the name of some god or other then it's quite legal. |

Beware the irrational, however seductive. Shun the 'transcendent' and all who invite you to subordinate or annihilate yourself. Distrust compassion; prefer dignity for yourself and others. Don't be afraid to be thought arrogant or selfish. Picture all experts as if they were mammals. Never be a spectator of unfairness or stupidity. Seek out argument and disputation for their own sake; the grave will supply plenty of time for silence. Suspect your own motives, and all excuses. Do not live for others any more than you would expect others to live for you. -- Christopher Hitchens |

Have you ever thought what a God would be like who actually ordained and executed the cruelty that is in [the biblical Book of Revelation]? A holocaust of mankind. Yet so many of these Bible-men accept the idea without a second thought. ― C.J. Sansom, Revelation |

Anthony W. Allsop (Genesis) (admin) |
ALL the holy writings - of whatever religion or god - are merely the work of Man's wild imaginings and subsequent translations. There's hardly a ha'p'orth of truth to be found in any of 'em.
I really do feel sorry for those who's minds have been affected by such ancient nonsense.

If someone wanted to destroy the catholic church their first objective should be to destroy the catholic elementary schools. Under the guise of providing a general education the catholic elementary schools gain control of 6, 7, and 8 year old children and terrorize them with the threat of eternal torture in fire if they do not obey every single dictate of the catholic church. This is very powerful indoctrination. This is where the great majority of people today who call themselves catholic got their start. (And they are still afraid today to say they are not catholic.) |

Ridicule is the best weapon in the atheist's armoury. Re-education and rational argument doesn't seem to have any effect at all. |

The holy books were written by illiterate and basically stupid morons with stupefied imaginations probably brought on by smoking hash around a camel dung fire.
Have you noticed how Moses' 10 commandments said nothing about not raping or having sex with minors?
The reason being that in those days, rape was accepted as the order of the day and sex with children was normal. I mean, a bloke could marry ten year old girls so how could it be frowned upon, let alone made taboo by law? |

Anthony W. Allsop (Genesis) (admin) |
I often wonder why Moses had to spend days on that mountain, patiently taking down God's dictation of those commandments on soft clay and then having to wait while they baked hard into tablets under the sun. I mean, why didn't God just have them laser printed on a sheet of indestructible metal that doesn't exist anywhere on Earth?
It would've most certainly put the other religious relics in the shade, wouldn't it? |

We are all atheists under the definition of the word. |

An atheist is someone who is more free minded, allowing that person to scrutinize the bible. |

Religion is organised and upheld by the higher classes to give the lower classes a sense of security and belonging, this is done merely to keep the lower classes sedate, inactive and unaware of what is truly happening in the world. |

In the Christian religion the heaven is just a bribe .

Belief is presumptuous. Thinking critically is much more preferable. |

Everyone knows that humans commonly invent fictional characters including gods, but monotheists insist that only one was not a human invention. That is so unlikely as to be almost impossible. |

Why do so many footballers & others cross themselves when taken off. Are they asking gods forgiveness. |

Gene Blalock |
I tried to believe in a God, I really did! |
|
|
Anton Drake |
This central assumption is in fact circular, however, because it begins with the idea of a God who is undefined and unknowable and exists within an inconceivable and transcendent domain outside of material existence, in some unspecified and undefined way, and from this premise arrives at the conclusion that the material universe must therefore be an illusion. |

If man can create then man is god. |

2,000 years ago, the crime of parking a chariot near a fire-hydrant would have meant the guilty being nailed to a cross and banned from driving for two millennia.

One would've thought that God - in all his wisdom - would've made the pole stars much more easy to pick out. Maybe slightly bigger and brighter than Venus with one a flashing bright yellow and the other flashing bright white.
Oh, and it might've helped if he'd fixed them so's they didn't wander about so.

The Holy Bible WASN'T written by God's own hand. He used Holy Ghost writers. |

Although we might choose to believe in magicians, it doesn't necessarily follow that we need choose to believe in magic. |

There is the Roman Catholic Church, isn't that compelling evidence that there is no god. |

Ignorance expressed in poems don't make the poems less ignorant. We call them verses. |
