| Baron von Knifty |
What turns me against religion is that you can’t rely on the followers to think logically, rationally or with an open mind. If they did there would be no religion. Everything that happens to them is either “already written” or “god’s will.” |

| Baron von Knifty |
Take a serious look around you. Now, honestly, is everything perfect? Then why do you believe your god is?

I went to this thing called a church bazaar. The only bizarre thing I saw were crackpots who claimed they believed in an invisible man who lives up in the sky and has super powers. Oh, another bizarre thing; five bucks for a fucking hot dog!

Is there a supernatural power—an arbitrary mind—an enthroned God—a supreme will that sways the tides and currents of the world—to which all causes bow? I do not deny. I do not know—but I do not believe. I believe that the natural is supreme—that from the infinite chain no link can be lost or broken—that there is no supernatural power that can answer prayer—no power that worship can persuade or change—no power that cares for man.
I believe that with infinite arms Nature embraces the all—that there is no interference—no chance—that behind every event are the necessary and countless causes, and that beyond every event will be and must be the necessary and countless effects.
Is there a God? I do not know. Is man immortal? I do not know. One thing I do know, and that is, that neither hope, nor fear, belief, nor denial, can change the fact. It is as it is, and it will be as it must be.

The bible is a collection of honourable but still primitive legends which are nevertheless pretty childish. No interpretation, no matter how subtle can [for me] change this.

When you are told by someone that there’s a person walking around with the power of a god, with the ability to do anything he can imagine, and all he does is waste his divine talent on parlor tricks and half-assed sleight-of-hand, wouldn’t you seriously want to question that? Don’t laugh. billions don’t. That’s the scary part.
If anything, we should be giving our prayers and kowtowing to our scientists and inventors. Yes, the same ones the church muffled, literally under penalty of death for some 1,500 years! They are the true saviors.

| Evan Gowing, American Atheist |
A common argument for God's existence is that the universe had to come from somewhere. Not only is this rationalization contradicting itself (God had to come from somewhere), but it is overshadowed by the fact that the universe is infinite. Most people consider the infinity of the universe in the first three dimensions (length, width, depth), but fail to realize that the universe is infinite in the fourth dimension as well, namely time. |

If you believe you are part of something special, first you must define to me what your interpretation of special is. Really. I need to know because some people are awed by seeing a face on a grilled cheese sandwich.

why is christianity so focused on death on the past and on the future when we live now in the present, i refuse to believe in something which we are supposedly given a tongue to speak and challenge with but only to be punished by the almighty who gave us the ability to do so !!! |

If you believe in heaven, then why be afraid of death? Why mourn the dead? |

| Jim Jefferies |
People assume life in hell is hell. But they have it all wrong. The devil looks fondly on the sinners. He tells them: ‘You’ve lied, cheated and stolen-why, you’ve done the devil’s bidding. Help yourself to drugs and hookers forever.’ It’s heaven that has to be the eternal bore. |

The Eleventh Commandment is, “Don’t believe everything thou readeth.”

| Baron von Knifty |
Can You Handle The Truth?: If you allow the church to decide your morality–the church, the same frauds who caused the Dark Ages, Holy Wars, Inquistions, witch hangings and burnings, the same racketeers who spawn pedophilia in their own house, those oh so loving and caring “children of god” who detest every other religion, every homosexual, every Agnostic or Atheist, every free-thinker and every person who will not knuckle under to their virulent fist–then you are as inane, hypocritical and delusional as they are.

The biggest and most outrageous lies you’ll ever hear won’t come from the government, fishing buddies or your auto mechanic. They’ll come from a pulpit.

A god that sends people to hell because the logic in their mind (that he supposedly gave them) told them that the being did not exist must truly be a vain and hypocritical asshole. |
|
| Baron von Knifty |
You’ll get plenty of gods when you believe that a lightening bolt is a spear from an angry higher power, when you believe that earthquakes, floods and plagues originate from upset boogeymen, or when you believe that a mere human can possess supernatural powers. It might make for fun science fiction but it’s nowhere near the truth.

I am absolutely convinced that there is no god. My experiences, my intelligence, my thought processes and my instincts lead me to this conclusion. Now then, suppose I'm wrong. Would a fair and just god really condemn me for trusting my own judgment? Would he prefer me to pretend to believe when I don't? No, I don't think so. If god exists and what I believe matters to him, then he should really blame himself for not providing sufficiently convincing evidence. When an innocent person is convicted of a crime, one doesn't hold honest jurors accountable. The blame lies with those whose job is was to provide the evidence. |

Prayers are like letters to the north pole. The gift below the tree is heaven, the lump of coal is hell and there's an imaginary guy behind it all! When will the world grow up. |

The great unmentionable evil at the center of our
culture is monotheism. From a barbaric Bronze Age
text known as the Old Testament, three anti-human
religions have evolved - Judaism, Christianity, and
Islam. These are sky-god religions. They are, literally,
patriarchal - God is the Omnipotent Father - hence
the loathing of women for 2,000 years in those
countries afflicted by the sky-god and his earthly male
delegates.

Catholicism turns ugly and takes on an entirely different perspective once you realize that all those gothic cathedrals built in the Middle Ages had secret hidden passageways and fully-stocked torture chambers.

Religion reminds of when I believed in Santa. That was an absurd thought after the age of 9. |

I am more powerful than god because I can ignore him, but, by definition, god is forced to believe in me.

There is no god
There is no god at all
He who invented god is a fool
He who propagates god is a knave
He who worships god is a primitive |

A friend of mine (who is Christian) recently told me that the difference between a world with God and a world without is hope and healing. Which I find extremely childish. Saying you need God for hope and healing is the same thing as saying you need a parent to hold your hand and give you a band-aid when you're hurt. |

"Fundamentalists are like the fir trees in German forests: they cannot stand alone, and are only stable when crowded together, branches locked with those of their brothers. That is why we must always fear them, because they will always hate us for our individualism." |

| Stephen King... |
"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."

If prayer works every time as the Bible says it must, how can Christians believe in it when the scientific community has concluded that it does not exist? Brainwashing is part of our species that is no longer needed. |

The biggest failure about the bible, is that there's no way to tell which parts are meant to be taken literally, and which parts are supposed to be methapors |

When your loved one or someone you know just faced a terrible accident or some sort of attack and is rushed to the hospital you pray to an imaginary man to help that person and if he/she does make it and survives you thank him for saving that person you love. Then why do you also thank the doctors for saving his/her life also?

The ark is suppose to be twice the size of the Titanic right? If Noah built a ship with the help of his 3 sons in a week...Then why did it take 15,000 men and over 2 years to finish the Titanic? |

The bible is a collaboration of stories written by naive, uneducated old men. At least we have evidence of that. |

Miracles are a name that the religious give to coincidental events with, as yet, no natural explanation. As our knowledge of ourselves and our world grows, the number of ‘miracles’ experienced decreases. There was a time when recovering from a cold would be taken as a miracle. If I pray each day for rain, should I count it a miracle when it eventually does? If so, how about the days when it doesn’t rain? If god gets the credit for fulfilling my prayers, then who gets the blame when they go unmet? Believers will respond that god won’t always do what we want, when we want it done. In other words god gets full credit for everything deemed ‘good’ and bears no responsibility for anything deemed ‘not good’. There are people who see themselves like that too. They are arrogant, defensive and they paint their world the way it suits them. Churches and other religious buildings are full of people like that. |

The ability to think outside of the narrow confines of a fictional religious holy book! |

No war has ever been committed in the name of atheism.
Sadly, theists (e.g., Christians, Muslims, Hindus) cannot make this claim.

NEVER take fantasy literally. Otherwise you might stop thinking for yourself and believe some imaginary god is running your life. How absolutely absurd would that be? |

Many Christians believe in the seven-headed beast in Revelation (bible future prophecy), but not climate change. And they call atheists crazy?! |

I recently heard a televangelist say that we all need to be “obedient and faithful†to our master (god). Makes me wonder… Does the fictional man in the sky consider us all dogs? Seems pretty degrading to me! |

Dr. Idel Dreimer |
Religion may be reasonably benign when seen as a comforting -- but temporary and occasional -- flirtation with fantasy -- and as an acknowledgment that life has many unanswered questions. It can be quite dangerous as a permanent delusion -- a conclusion that all the questions have been answered. (Observation # 1222) |

Christians, instead of asking “What would Jesus do?†the next time you’re in a pickle, why not ask “What would Hans Solo do?†You’ll get a WAY cooler answer that way! |

Answer this question for me Christians…
Why would a supposedly benevolent god give a televangelist a ten million dollar mega-church, $5,000 suits, and an enormous mansion to live in while leaving thousands of people starving to death in third world countries?
