"The Bible says..." IS NOT evidence of anything, except perhaps the gullibility of human beings. |
|
|
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 |
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. |

If only you would revere and care for your fellow man as much as you do the fictitious guy in the sky…
The world would be one heck of a lot better place to live in.

I've concluded that I am actually God.
I was praying last night and realized that I was talking to myself. |

Prof.Uri Nassol |
Religion is the only subject where your ability to ignore the facts is seen as a positive virtue. |

I have no desire to go to heaven, I am afraid of beiing the only one there. |

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? |

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. |

God... a being whose only definition is that he is beyond man's power to conceive. |

Every human is born with only one god, their mother. Indoctrination and common sense, will determine the future of the child. |

By the time the pope finished riding around Africa in his bullet-proof car wearing his gold-braided robes and telling AIDS victims not to use condoms, how many more African babies had starved to death? |
|
| Prof Uri Nassol |
The voodoo witch doctor is as sure of his beliefs as any Roman Catholic priest. He's just less likely to screw the choirboys. |
|
| Thomas S. Szasz |
If you talk to God, you are praying;
If God talks to you, you have schizophrenia.

Belief in a cruel God makes a cruel man.

"Eskimo: 'If I did not know about God and sin, would I go to hell?' Priest: 'No, not if you did not know.' Eskimo: 'Then why did you tell me?'" |
|
| 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 |
"If there is a god, it has to be a man. No woman could or would ever fuck things up like this." |
|
|
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 |

Hitler and Stalin were pro-lifers and banned abortion, yet each of them murdered millions of people. I wonder which religion ( the roman catholic church ) inspired them. |

There are a few different types of nun, those that prefer to use a condom, those that use the contraceptive pill, those that use the morning after pill, those that prefer the withdrawal method, those that prefer the rhythm method, and those that go the whole nine months culminating in a virgin birth. |

If religion actually made people better the effect would be self evident, and no one would ever have to make the claim for it. |

Writers of the 3 Abrahamic religions that have seriously fucked the planet were… Barbaric ancient men who were xenophobic, homophobic, slave-approving, king-worshiping, mysogonists with no grasp of even basic science that had very specific self-serving agendas.

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. |

A simple bar of soap is of much more use to me than of any god that was ever conceived. |

If you "live by the word" of the Abrahamic god, be sure to always have a large pile of stones handy! |

I'm beyond sick of preachers seizing upon every disaster, natural and otherwise, as proof positive they speak for the almighty and must be deferred to. |

I think the strongest evidence against God is that his existence has to be debated. |

No scientific discovery has ever pointed to the truth of any religious concept. |

Ninety-nine percent of all the species that ever existed are extinct. The entirety of the human experience constitutes less than an eye-blink on the time scale of the universe, and the Christian era a tiny fraction of that small number. We celebrate ourselves at our peril. |

Those who have stood in large groups, protesting distancing orders put in place to keep them safe through the course of a pandemic, are overwhelmingly white Christian men who just can’t grasp basic science. |

On “Joni Table Talkâ€, a Christian TV show, one of the guests on the show stated that she was on the beach praying for sand dollars and found 8 of them. Odd how praying to the same god doesn’t prevent children from dying in cancer wards or people from starving to death around the world. |

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

When a religious TV personality offers me a “spiritual giftâ€, why do I have the feeling I’m getting an empty paper bag? |

Religion needs to be consigned to the graveyard of bad ideas. |

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. |

I am forever amazed and horrified by the people who reject every religious teaching other than their own. |

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. |

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. |

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 |
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) |

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. |

Ignore religion at your leisure. Ignore science at your peril. |

EA Miller |
Religion is child abuse. It denies children the chance to rationally examine the world around them and places them on the path to narrow-minded bigotry. |
