"I guess your point is that heaven has a city of gold, like the Wizard of Oz has a yellow brick road." |

It's ironic how the story of Jesus recalls him as being the son of a God, or a half-man, half-god .That story is also similar to that of Hercules, who is also half-man, half-god, and son of the Greek God Zeus. Both are sons of mythology with fathers who planted their seeds to sprout up with Jack and his magical beanstock. |

let the iconoclast blast dogmas of the past so that they do not holdfast or last and let posterity ask and discover. so if we all can, woman , child, man. join hands, don't formulate plan nor particular clan, just us, just human. man created god not vise versa as for the old testament, flawed, fabled, fabricated, fallacious, farcical, ficticious. falsehoods fraught with folly and fantasy.
you got your biblical references, your holy trinity.
man the mere mortal, debacle of a divinity.
thinking caps on, need to be elucidated.
man the mere mortal never asked to be created. |

You can talk about pink unicorns and still not believe that they exist. The same goes for god(s) and other fairy tales. |

I have read the whole book of Esther and the entire bible. Plus, I've read the Koran and the Gnostic bible as well. Maybe you should study more books other than the unholy bible if you want to learn about the history of your unproven religious beliefs. How many books have you read today? |

Religious people act the same as Toddlers, they pretend that their imaginary friends are helping them fight other people's imaginary friends, they can't share, whine a lot and don't do anything about it besides playing with their imaginary friends some more. When this happens to an actual toddler, a parent typically has to intervene as a reasonable parent should, in the religious scenario I believe that us Atheists need to be the parents and tell these children to stop ruining our lives with their imaginary friends. |

You only need god(s) if you only need god(s).
I need more than fairy tales.

People will believe what they want to believe, or whatever makes them feel good inside... And that's just HUMAN NATURE. When you become a skeptic and accept yourself, you feel free and... I'm not sure how to say it, but it's just nice knowing you know why you're doing something... ask questions... Accept law that is beneficial to society, (random)- if everyone broke the laws then there would be chaos. Humans naturally fear chaos. God is the mental equalizer. I believe in proven justified authority, and laws that will help us as a species. I feel dumb for spending so much time thinking about religion... I wish it had never been regarded as true, we aren't even trying to go anywhere, first we need to pass zero to move in the positive direction (number line). Religion and fear has proven to be a major flaw in human personality. |

If you stare into the face of truth and refuse to acknowledge it, the problem lies with you, not the truth.

| Baron von Knifty |
If you see a face on toast and believe it’s a god you need immediate professional help. If you don’t believe in evolution you’d better climb back up in the tree and cook some more, because, evolution-wise, you’re not quite done yet.

if God is al knowing as relusionists claim he is>>then he should have known the devil will turn against him and if he loves us so much, he'll put an end to the devil rather than putting us through the trouble of resisting temptation |

The only way theists can put an end to atheists mocking their religion, is to put an end to their religion. |

Celebrate Christmas the old-fashioned way: witch burning, heretic hangings, Inquisition murder, holy wars and crusades. |

Theists like to say that atheists "believe in nothing". In fact, it is theists who believe in 'nothing'...for they believe in things that don't exist, such as 'god(s).' |

Religion is like a penis: it is ok to have one, it is ok to be proud of it but don't whip it out in public and don't shove it down peoples throats....especially Children. |

Religion is a tragicomedy; the beliefs are funny, believing them is sad. |

It takes a brave soul to stare at the worlds truths, it's horror, it's brutality.
It takes an honest soul to see what life is in an unbridled state, to see life's harshness.
It takes a strong soul swallow & accept the morbid reality that life & man can conjure, to cherish the good & work through the bad of life & not mask discomfort with some whimsical notion of a "plan" at the hands of a fictitious father figure.
It takes an Atheist. |

What is heaven but a euphemism for fulfillment of repressed desires?
Fears cultivated to dissuade rational thinking are called the hell fires.
What is virtue construed but absolute unquestioning mental submission?
Sin is the exercise of the fundamental freedom of deliberation and reason.
What is doctrine but an ordered system for controlling behavior and mind?
Blasphemy is the expression of what cogent rational thought will soon find.
What is devotion but an induced and elaborate method of self deception?
Religion is social training to enforce conformation to a set conduct pattern.
What is the soul but an egocentric and wishful longing for eternal existence?
Spirituality is the exposition of morality based on transcendental pretence.
What is God but a sanctified instrument for exploiting minds to get power?
Relinquishment for salvation is sermonized; the real aim is authority however.
Forfeit all you have here on earth, and you will receive manifold in paradise;
I don’t get the investment logic of the holy men who urge speculative sacrifice.
Religious fervor divides man from man, promotes chauvinism, breeds hatred;
It preaches peace and love but nourishes odious intolerance, endorses bloodshed.
I am neither sophist nor hedonist; but faith and holiness seem to me devious,
What sets man apart from beast is reason, sacrifice this and become religious.

If god is perfect and knows mankinds future, then where would our free will come in, since he knows who is going to hell and who is going to heaven. |

Anthony W. Allsop (Genesis) (admin) |
We must always bear in mind that we are never finished evolving. Our bodies and minds will forever change to suit our lifestyle and environment.
As examples, we humans still retain our baser hunting and killing instincts.... but for how much longer?
Some experts on physiology and psychology are even now predicting drastic changes in our brain patterns due to imbalance of the brain's usage. They are forecasting a wider catchment in the areas of memory loss (amnesia) and brain malfunction (Alzheimer's) and the earlier onset of osteoporosis due to our growing reliance on and dedication to, computers.
Maybe this should be a warning to us to get out more.

I refuse to believe in a god that I'm told, "loves me" but is willing to send me to hell; where i will live, suffer, burn, choke, scream and cry forever if I decide not to follow his 10 rules. |

When the tribal leadership adopted a new god the tribe followed suit. Not to have done so would have been tantamount to rebellion. When Charlemagne insisted on baptism and become a christian and as the sign of submission, he punished with appalling barbarity any resistance, as when, in cold blood, he beheaded, in a single day, 4,500 Saxons at Verden, in 782 CE. This is a glaring truth about religion, it is tyranny to its fullest. |

It makes me laugh, they ridicule (or try to) the very science that has given them the ability to ridicule. Its kinda like if I told you how horrible it is that we have lost all social interactions by Instant message. |

buddhism is the only modern religion i can really respect because buddhism is technically not even a religion because there is no worship of a deity or praying it doesnt care about race or gender or orientation there is no heaven or hell there is no invisible man in the sky watching everything you do every minute of evry day with a special list of 10 things he does not want you to do and if you do any of those things hes got a special place for you where you scream and choke and burn and yell and get tortured and thrown into a lake of fire and die for the rest of time...no buddhism is nothing like that its actually technically not even a religion its an idea at acknowledges the possiblities of other realms and such but it also acknowledges science it encourages you to go out there and get shit done for yourself test things for your self experience feel and live for yourself not even assuming right off the bat that what buddha himself tells you is true its about taking all those experiences and feelings for what they are and making a hypothesis that fits YOU so that YOU may acheive peace with out the help of any deities which people have been doing for far longer than christianity has been around and there for disproving christianity before it even began |

To the merchant, God looks like a merchant; to the sailor, God looks like a sailor; to the canibals, God looks like a canibal. |

Surely religion must be the first and most striking example of what we now call the Stockholm Syndrome. Though held captive in a universe that is best characterized as profoundly indifferent--or easily seen as manifestly unfair, and demonstrably cruel, millions are infused with a spirit of gratitude and adoration; nor yet do they stint in their praise of the creator whom they imagine to be responsible for their fate. |

God would have had to be either a rapist who craftily drugged his victims or a tosser who provided his own sperm and got the virgin Mary pregnant using a turkey baster while she was sleeping. How else does one explain Mary getting pregnant with his child and her not knowing anything about the inception. |

The Bible explains that god sent satan to earth (he was kicked out of heaven with a third of the angels). What kind of supreme, loving being drops a satan in the midst of his creation. We know that the universe is huge, millions of light years across, couldn't the supreme, loving being have found an isolated part of the universe for someone he wanted out of heaven. Man, if he couldn't handle him , how are we supposed to? How can anyone think there is a loving supreme being? |

"Reports that say that something hasn't happened are always interesting to me, because as we know, there are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns -- the ones we don't know we don't know." Donald Rumsfeld.

If a man ran around lighting non-believers up in fire until they suffer a torturous death, then isn't there one word to describe this man? Indeed there is, and that word is evil. So how does this not apply to God?

Unknown- jesus/god lover. I feel sorry for you that you don't know what you have believed your whole life is a lie. Just because the masses believe something--doesn't make it true. This site is clearly for athiests, so bugger off--you don't belong. |

Had there been just one god and one religion on earth I'd have been an atheist(still).

Dear Theists,
Before criticizing me for being an atheist and not accepting 'god and religion', ask yourself the same question when it comes to your opinion/acceptance on gods and religions other than yours.
Well, at-least I am honest... |

If you justify your act of leaving a few millions with a rotten and brutal suffering throughout their life, and put the blame on the sins done from their previous births, you are no less than a sadistic idiot.
And so is god. |

Question: If a tree falls in the forest with no one there to hear it, does it still make a sound?
Answer: Yes. Recording equipment can be left in the forest and listened to at a later time to verify it.
Question: Does wishing thinking and prayer bring fictional gods from ancient texts to life?
Answer: No. There are no contemporary historical accounts or tangible evidence such beings have ever existed.

Tossing a penny into a fountain and making a wish has about the same success rate as praying for various things from your favorite deity, but throwing coins is so much more fun! |

Christians: "I'm fighting for my religious freedom."
What they're saying in reality: "I'm fighting to inject my religious dogma into every aspect of society (e.g., government, schools, medical field) and I could give a rat's ass about anyone else's beliefs!"
