So if Jesus died for ME,
Was that because his father, who could create the universe and the world in a week, part the red sea for Moses, flood the earth for Noah, plus let Noah find kangaroos, polar bears and wombats in the middle east, save Lot and his nymphomaniac daughters (but turn his wife into a pillar of salt, just for being a bit nosey, harsh, but who am I to judge?) cause the death, plague whatever because pharoah wouldnt let his people go.
Yet couldnt save His son from some nails and a cross made of wood.
If he exists, he is no God of mine.
Christians, you are welcome to him. |

The theist will say: "If the universe and/or humanity is NOT by design, what objective purpose could it have?"
But I say to the theist. "If there IS a designer responsible for the universe and everything therein, WHO or WHAT designed and created the designer?
"And - if there was nothing in the first place - what was this designer and the designer of the designer made out of?"

I became an atheist because I was tired of paying the church to be lied to. |

NEWS HEADLINE: Investigations underway into religious brainwashing.
Very laudable I must say. But why just pick on such as the Scientology cult or the Moonies when ALL religion is about brainwashing and perversity and always has been.
PLUS! Many of the "accepted" religions - apart from suppressing scientific knowledge and thus human advancement - have been responsible for ruining a darn sight more lives than this latest tin-pot attempt at coercive brainwashing and a damn sight more cruel and needless deaths have been ordered by their pious leaders.

George Bush says he speaks to god every day, and christians love him for it. If George Bush said he spoke to god through his hair dryer, they would think he was mad. I fail to see how the addition of a hair dryer makes it any more absurd. |

If I tell you that I'm too smart to be religious, your only possible response would be: "Well, I'm too religious to be smart." |

Since God punishes people for evil on earth with disease, pain and death, then after death the eternal burning, is this not double jeopardy which our constitution forbids? thus man and his reason must be at least one step above any god ever conceived. |

Why would anyone ever want to be the children of an overly strict man that would kill his own son and watch him die a slow death just too prove a point...Sounds too me like being set up too be the red headed step children. |

So the good lord either sanctions,commands or initiates murder,genocide,rape,kidnapping,oppression and the like for the benefit of a small minority of ancient desert dwellers called the Hebrews...only a simple mind will beleive that... |

Quote from my elderly, Catholic mother: "If I could go back in time, 2,000 years, I could prove to you that everything written in the bible is true." I didn't have the heart to tell her that it would most likely prove her wrong. ROTFLMAO!!!!! |

Evidently the only requirement needed to prove a god is to simply threaten others with outright lies. |

If suicide is against the will of god then why would god allow it to happen? Shouldn’t god give those people the power to stop killing themselves? |

The god that christians believe in... is, amazingly stupid. If it actually wants to achive it's goal of spreading this information to humanity by relying on text by relying on languages that die off, by relying on anecdotal testimony. That's not a pathway to truth. And anything that would qualify as a god would know this. Which means either god doesn't exist or it doesn't care enough about those people who do understand the nature of evidence to actually present it. |

The bible says nothing about dinosaurs and other planets,that we know today are true- why did God forget to tell us about that stuff. Oh yea, he could at least told us the earth was round so we didnt look so stupid for thousands of years. |

It makes me sad when otherwise intelligent people claim to believe in god(s). They only say this because they have never considered the wonderful alternative. The subject of atheism never came up in their world. That was me, before "the enlightenment".:) |

If evolution isn't a reality then why do we have diversity in the first place ? Shouldnt we all look exactly alike if we never evolved from eachother?

Each religion threatens eternal damnation to non-believers of their particular deity. So there will be no escape from damnation even if you worship 24/7 for all your life. |

Christians claim that Muslims are trying to insert their religious laws into the US government, yet fail to see anything wrong with their own religion trying to do the same thing! Hypocrites! |

In 1000 years, after our world has suffered a nuclear holocaust, out of the ashes, the few people who survive will find a book. This book will become the basis of all morals, sanctity and religion for mankind.
Personally I think it will be "The Lord of the Rings" but my kids are hoping for "Green Eggs and Ham". |

The majority of ornate places of worship spread around the globe are constructed with billion year old marble and stone made of fossilized dead sea creatures. Even the flint tools of early Man are fashioned from stone of such fossilized creatures.
These facts don't square with the biblical account of creation so are rejected by the theist. |

It's said that God is incomprehensible to mere mortals, by many of the same people who claim to know what pleases and offends him.

The people who are worshiping they are thinking they are woshiping god but they are actually worshiping the pope or other religion heads ! |

I stopped believing in God when I found out Santa, the Easter Bunny and the Tooth Fairy weren't real. It's a domino effect. Could you imagine a world where adults believed in Santa? |

| Isaac Asimov (1920-1992) |
"I certainly don't believe in the mythologies of our society, in heaven and hell, in God and angels, in Satan and demons. I've thought of myself as an 'atheist,' but that simply described what I didn't believe in, not what I did. Gradually, though, I became aware there was a movement called 'humanism,' which used that name because, to put it most simply, humanists believe that human beings produced the progressive advance of human society and also the ills that plague it. They believe that if the ills are to be alleviated, it is humanity that will have to do the job. They disbelieve in the influence of the supernatural on either the good or the bad of society." - I. Asimov: A Memoir p. 498 (as quoted in 2000 Years of Disbelief by James A. Haught) |

"I do not understand those who take little or no interest in the subject of religion. If religion embodies a truth, it is certainly the most important truth of human existence. If it is largely error, then it is one of monumentally tragic proportions - and should be vigorously opposed." - Reflections p. 24 (as quoted in 2000 Years of Disbelief by James A. Haught) |

| Mark Twain (1835-1910) |
"During many ages there were witches. The Bible said so. The Bible commanded that they should not be allowed to live. Therefore the Church, after doing its duty in but a lazy and indolent way for eight hundred years, gathered up its halters, thumbscrews, and firebrands, and set about its holy work in earnest. She worked hard at it night and day during nine centuries and imprisoned, tortured, hanged, and burned whole hordes and armies of witches, and washed the Christian world clean with their foul blood. Then it was discovered that there was no such thing as witches, and never had been. One doesn't know whether to laugh or to cry. Who discovered that was no such thing as a witch - the priest, the parson? No, these never discover anything..." - Europe and Elsewhere (as quoted in 2000 Years of Disbelief by James A. Haught) |

"To sum up: (1) The cosmos is a gigantic flywheel making 10,000 revolutions a minute. (2) Man is a sick fly taking a dizzy ride on it. (3) Religion is the theory that the wheel was designed and set spinning to give him the ride." - in Smart Set, December 1920 |
