So, when Adam and Eve were in the Garden of Eden, if you go for all these fairy tales, that "evil" woman convinced the man to eat the apple, but the apple came from the Tree of Knowledge. And the punishment that was then handed down, the woman gets to bleed and the guy's got to go to work, is the result of a man desiring, because his woman suggested that it would be a good idea, that he get all the knowledge that was supposedly the property and domain of God. So, that right away sets up Christianity as an anti-intellectual religion. You never want to be that smart. If you're a woman, it's going to be running down your leg, and if you're a guy, you're going to be in the salt mines for the rest of your life. So, just be a dumb fuck and you'll all go to heaven. That's the subtext of Christianity. |

H. L. Mencken |
One has to go along with what Mencken said about the superstitious:
"He has a right to harbor and indulge his imbecilities as long as he pleases, provided only he does not try to inflict them upon other men by force. He has a right to argue for them as eloquently as he can, in season and out of season. He has a right to teach them to his children. But certainly he has no right to be protected against the free criticism of those who do not hold them. He has no right to demand that they be treated as sacred. He has no right to preach them without challenge." [Mencken, ("Aftermath," The Baltimore Evening Sun, September 14, 1925] |

I have no problem with a belief in a God or a Cosmic Consciousness but to claim that you are in possession of his autobiography takes a special type of delusion. |

If every moment of life is God's master plan, then every abortion is also planned by God. And "good" Christians that protest against abortions are there for going against God's plan |

JESUS? BIG DEAL! Our modern science has performed MORE miracles and BETTER miracles than this supposed Jesus:
Jesus may have walked on the Sea of Galilee, but NASA technology has allowed twelve men to walk on the Sea of Tranquility!
Another notion is that Jesus healed ten lepers. Leprosy today in our industrialized nations has essentially been eradicated altogether by medical science, so it doesn’t even apply in our world. When’s the last time you shook hands with someone and their arm came off? Now ask yourself, seriously, why Jesus didn’t simply wave his hand and eliminate leprosy and all diseases and cancers for all time. I believe any person who is loving and caring and supposedly possesses the power of the universe would have gotten it done without a second thought.

I think a great new Golden Rule would be that all Catholics and their knock-off sects are barred from using modern medical science. After all, they were the ones who for centuries stifled its progress. |

Any supreme god that requires, demands and coerces it's worship, is supremely unworthy of it. |

They felt that science would be corrosive to religious belief; and they were worried about it; and damn it, I think they were right - It is corrosive of religious belief; and it's a good thing too. |

Beware of religious fanatics. Either they want to kill you because you don't believe as they do, or you'll want to kill them because they won't stop trying to shove their religion down your throat. |

There are no atheists in foxholes: An unproven saying without a shred of logic or evidence behind it, created only to help the deluded feel at peace. Why is it not surprising this was created by and for religion? |

If there was a god he would have made us all hale and happy and heroic. But the god you believe in gives us a sea of fear, hate and disease, and yet you want respect? Get away from me.

In dark ages people are best guided by religion, as in a pitch-black night a blind man is the best guide; he knows the roads and paths better than a man who can see. When daylight comes, however, it is foolish to use blind old men as guides. |

I believe we should all treat each other in a Christian manner; that is to stone, decapitate, strangle, or burn each other alive.

Ignorance begets religion. What man does not understand sooner or later becomes a theology. Those who fail to grasp the concept of a waffle iron will eventually turn it into a shrine.

I freely label myself a heretic, an infidel and a pagan without fear because, like the religions they are derived from, those words have no absolutely no substance.

No one likes being wrong. When there is a religious debate I find it funny how all the Christians are quick to stand up for their beliefs. "Why?" I ask myself. I have found it to be the strength in numbers-when a majority believe something people have the tendency to feel comfortable, as if they're right. Put a Christian in a room with 22 Atheists and see who "wins" the debate. |

Religious text of the past is the literary entertainment of the future. |

| David Hume |
God's power is infinite, Whatever he wills is executed; But neither man nor any other animal is happy; therefore he does not will their happiness. Epicurus' old questions are yet unanswered. Is he both able and willing to prevent evil? Then whence cometh evil? |

Several thousand years ago, a small tribe of ignorant near-savages wrote various collections of myths, wild tales, lies, and gibberish. Over the centuries, these stories were embroidered, garbled, mutilated, and torn into small pieces that were then repeatedly shuffled. Finally, this material was badly translated into several languages successively. The resultant text, creationists feel, is the best guide to this complex and technical subject. |

Pantheism: 'The gods surround, bind and penetrate us.' Thanks to religion, we are surrounded by superstition, bound to antiquity and well, the penetration doesn't bear much thinking about. |

Terrorism, how DO we stop the world from meltdown? How DO we tackle this religion inspired problem? The only serious answer I can come up with is a joint effort to educated and persuade these people that gods do not exist! That gods are the invention of Man and men have written the revered holy books in much the same way as you or I could write fiction.

I once believed in the healing power of God. I watched the sick and elderly throw away their crutches, canes and leave their wheelchairs behid. I was at the Salvation Army the following day and saw some of these same people there looking for the same type of items they had thrown away. The power of the mind is powerful. |

Christians often assert that, because no one was present during the origin of the universe, no one can know anything about the origin of the universe. But this claim is analogous to saying that, because the police forensic detective was not present a |

Christians say "The universe can't simply exist, therfore it must have been made." I say "If the universe can't simply exist then God can't simply exist, Who made God?" |

To some, God is Loving, Patient, and All Knowing. To others He's Violent, Intolerant, and Vain. God is man's critique of himself. |
