EA Miller EA Miller "The Bible says..." IS NOT evidence of anything, except perhaps the gullibility of human beings.
Pat Simons Pat Simons The entirety of the human experience constitutes less than an eye-blink on the time scale of a universe that is unimaginably vast. It requires a towering conceit to conclude it was all made just for us, by a god whose existence can never be demonstrated.
Pat Simons Pat Simons If people actually thought about the things they have faith in, the world's religions would appear in about the same proportions everywhere. As it is, one's faith is almost entirely a product of geography.

John Kelly  Ireland John Kelly Ireland If sickness is Gods will, your recovery in his hands, then why go to a hospital?
Skewtski McDojo There is but one way to truly know if God exists, and that is to die. Is it not fitting, then, to see fanatical worshippers killing one another? In my eyes, this is their way of proving to the other whose God exists by sending them to greet Him with a bullet. Since we will all die anyway, whats the point of fighting?
Rosie O'Donald Extreme Christianity is like extreme Islam
Shaun Mason Shaun Mason Faith is the unflagging determination to remain ignorant in the face of any and all evidence that you're ignorant.
James Haught The U.S. has more churchgoing than any other major democracy and it reports much higher rates of murder, rape, robbery, shootings, stabbings, drug use, unwed pregnancy, and the like, as well as occasional tragedies such as those at Waco and Jonestown. There may be no link between the two conditions, but the saturation of religion has failed to prevent the severe crime level. Societies rife with fundamentalism and religious tribalism are prone to sectarian violence. In contrast, England, Scandinavia, Canada, Japan, and such lands have scant churchgoing, yet their people are more inclined to live peaceably, in accord with the social contract. The evidence seems clear: To find living conditions that are safe, decent, orderly, and 'civilized,' avoid places with intense religion.

Bill Vincent Sheep are considered among the stupidest of farm-living creatures, herded by snapping dogs, only to have their fur sheared for market or even killed for their meat. It is by no small coincidence that Priests call the people who listen to them "their flock".
Sam Harris "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."
Arne Hyman You can pray all you want for god to move a mountain but until you bring a shovel and do all the work, it'll never happen. All prayers are unanswered.
George Carlin George Carlin "If there is a god, it has to be a man. No woman could or would ever fuck things up like this."
Godfrey Zoan Godfrey Zoan Our species will never evolve beyond stupidity until the last holy book is burned, the last priest gets a real job and the last church is pulled down.
Sam Harris The President of the United States has claimed, on more than one occasion, to be in dialogue with God. Now, if he said that he was talking to God through his hairdryer, this would precipitate a national emergency. I fail to see how the addition of a hairdryer makes the claim more ludicrous or more offensive. -- from his book, The End of Faith: Religion, Terror, and the Future of Reason

osirisnut osirisnut Religions are called faiths collectively because they believe something in absence of evidence - That's what it is! That's why it's called faith, otherwise, we'd call all religions evidence. But we don't for exactly that reason. Niel DeGrasse Tyson.

osirisnut osirisnut The Catholic Church has closed the holy healing waters of Lourdes due to the covid 19 virus. The irony is lost on them.

EA Miller EA Miller People need shelter, food, water, science and empathy for other human beings. What they don’t need are propaganda-absorbing, religious crackpots telling them how to live their lives.
Pat Simons Pat Simons I am forever amazed and horrified by the people who reject every religious teaching other than their own.
Pat Simons Pat Simons If Jesus wants to talk to me, he's welcome to show up and do so any time he wants. In the meantime, I've no use for the people claiming to speak on his behalf. They speak with no consistent voice, and what Jesus wants is always identical to what the preacher doing the talking wants.
Pat Simons Pat Simons Why would a divine being endow the people he created with the gift of reason, then not provide the evidence reasonable people would need to fulfill his wishes? It's almost as if religion is founded on untestable myth.

EA Miller EA Miller The level of just how self-serving and morally bankrupt politicians are seems to be directly related to how often they mention god and quote religious texts on large media platforms.
Dr. Idel Dreimer Dr. Idel Dreimer The conventional, hopeful construction of "God" requires a clinical re-assessment. It is claimed he created this world of ruthless predation -- where most life forms must survive by eating others. He then appears to the top predator, and -- in return for reverence, obsequious praise, and undying devotion -- offers a compensatory escape -- paradisal and eternal -- from the unsavoury cauldron. No -- not just yet -- only when you are -- conveniently -- dead. The gullible murmur "saviour." The narrative says "psychopath." (Observation #1996)
Pat Simons Pat Simons One of the primary objectives of religion in the modern world seems to be conditioning people to accept the idea nothing comes ahead of corporate profit.
Pat Simons Pat Simons Ignore religion at your leisure. Ignore science at your peril.
