| Jack Pritchard |
It's not so much that the Cosmos seems strange, counter intuitive and utterly bewildering but more that our evolutionary heritage, growing up as a species on the plains of Africa has done little to prepare us for the true reality of things. |

| E. Haldeman-Julius |
The churches can well afford to pay fair taxation. But supposing they couldn't. Would not that be a very significant evidence that the churches were not really wanted? |

Church combined with State make as much scence as priest watching alter boys. |

The good book lies from front to back
For it was writ by some old hack
I pray that soon the truth be known
On that I know I'm not alone
For in those scriptures lurking deep
A hoax is rife its lie to keep
One day soon the truth will out
Of that I feel there is no doubt
From Genesis through Psalms and Revelations too
It's hate, it's murder, it's pornography blue. |

Someone just advised me that it is never too late to seek God. Ahem!
If I were to spend the rest of my life in search of god I STILL would be without god. Not only that but if I DID "find him(?)" I would be as mentally disturbed as the rest of the bible thumpers.

If the god of the bible supposedly created the earth for his favorite creations (humans). Why is it mostly covered with salt water, which humans can't drink? |

No IFs, no DOUBTs about it. There's a far better chance of getting a noodle through the eye of a running camel than there is of there being a heaven to get into. |

I (with a little help from my fellow man) can move mountains. God - left on his own - cannot move even a molehill. |

To Brian Griffin. What's with this: "... the existence of God (is) highly unlikely."?
THAT is the typical stance of a fence sitter. Any atheist worth his/her salt has no room for doubt that gods do NOT exist and gods have NEVER existed. Except in the minds and imagination of Man. |

Faith does not kill thought or creativity, it just doesn't involve either one.” |

| Andy Knapp |
Ignorance is merely darkness where the light of reason and knowledge is not; it is to be expected that childish visions of monsters under the bed subside under the high noon of science. |

If God made man in his own image, we are forced to assume that God is prone to evil, homophobic, and a murderer. |

| Dr. Idel Dreimer, www.lumpenbangenpiano.com |
Religion is the great salesman of snake oil, the pious pitchman of healing nostrum, the pretending purveyor of chimerical panacea: it speaks of an oasis where, to the horizon, stretches an unbroken sea of sand, of a voice where there is only silence, and of truth where there is only unfathomable mystery.

After death can't be much different than before birth. Nothing. In heaven, can you imagine listening to the harmonica or what ever it is that angels play for an eternity? I can't even stand it for more than 5 minutes here on earth. |

| Eli Gold (The Good Wife) |
Religion is like a drug, in small doses it's curative, in large, it's addictive. |

My theory is that a belief in god is inversely proportional to knowledge; great minds with religion would be greater without. |

The truth is the bible is a work of fiction written millennia ago by men long turned to dust, any resemblance to what really happened has been lost and/or skewed by those who allegedly wrote and later those who translated it. |

Good people tend to do good. Evil people tend to do evil. But for a good person to do evil, that thakes religion. |

MAN was supposedly created in God's image. So maybe God has been circumcised, enjoys a pint or two and worships his favorite football team. |

Sean O'Connor |
As a child I had a deep fear of the monster that lived in my closet. I would lose countless nights of sleep cowering beneath my blankets because of the invisible menace that plagued me. It wasn't until I found the courage to turn on the light and see for myself that my fear of the closet monster left me. As an adult I had a deep fear of the God that watched my every move. I would lose countless nights of sleep cowering beneath my blankets in fear of the countless sins I was being judged for. It wasn't until I found the courage to seek true knowledge that I was able to free myself from the closet monster living in my mind. In that regard Jesus was right when he said "The truth will set you free". |

mankind's most cherished and fervently held religious beliefs are rooted firmly in human creation based on natural phenomena, without the need for supernatural genesis but nonetheless extraordinarily marvelous and meaningful.

I'm an atheist but I'm NOT anti theist! I only feel sorry for them.
They've had their brains so manipulated and filled with rubbish that they are akin to zombies: and that isn't THEIR fault but the fault of the society they were brought up in.
I was fortunate and managed to escape the clutches of goddists. I now worship at the altar of family. My family, friends and neighbours are more important to me than any imagined god.
I wouldn't give ANY (and there are many) god(s) the time of day 'cos every minute spent in prayer is a minute wasted and our time on Earth is short and precious. |

If religion is real, Christians would spend a life time as slaves for eternal freedom. Their God would condem me to Hell just for not believing in him but improving the lifes he created. Thanks |

With all the horrible, horrible shit that your priest is pumping into your kid's head, his dick should be the least of your worries, honestly. That's just a little mouthwash and a few years of therapy'll get rid of that. That Jesus shit will torture you for a lifetime. |

| Einstein |
I cannot imagine a God who rewards and punishes the objects of his creation, whose purposes are modeled after our own--a God, in short, who is but a reflection of human frailty. Neither can I believe that the indivudal survives the death of his body, although feeble souls harbor such thoughts through fear or ridiculous egotisms |

People cling onto religion without realizing their holding onto a corpse, just as the rotted flesh drips away so does the credibility that there's a god |

The supreme arrogance of religious thinking: That a carbon-based bag of mostly water on a speck of iron-silicate dust, orbiting around a boring dwarf star in a minor galaxy, in an underpopulated local group of galaxies, in an unfashionable suburb of a super-cluster would look up at the sky and declare; "It was all made so I could exist!" |

But not much help since then.
It’s ages since we heard you last.

Seemingly endless conflicts and wars (since the creation of religion) have been fought in the name of whatever gods were popular at the time. Yet not a single battle during these thousands of years has ever been fought in the name of atheism. |

The Abrahamic god is frequently referred to as a "perfect" being. Yet he is often angry, jealous, and petty. These of course were the imperfect human traits of those who modeled the fictitious deity they created after themselves. |

Evangelicals replace what is logical and reasonable with blind faith and irrational dogma. They poison the mind in every sense of the word! |

While astrologers are no-doubt wrong in the conclusions they draw, the stars and planets are at least real, and their ideas are testable. All of which is much more than can be said of theologians. |

Atheism is NOT a religion. Atheists have no special meeting places, no ritualistic acts, no holy book, no pastors, priests, rabbis, or shaman. In fact, we're often from diverse backgrounds with many different interests. What we do have in common, however, is that we do not believe in a god or gods. It's that simple. |

Atheism IS a belief system. Atheists believe in searching for the truth. |
