Forfeiting logic and reason for mythological fantasy

EA Miller EA Miller Native Americans thrived without the God of the Bible for thousands of years as they respected the people and nature around them. Their population was only decimated when Europeans brought disease, greed, violence, and of course, Christianity.

Pat Simons Pat Simons Not all religious people are stupid, but stupid people are always religious.
EA Miller EA Miller A "perfect" being (insert imaginary god of your choice here) wouldn't constantly require such petty things as needing its ego constantly stoked. Sounds like the quality of a very insecure human being!

EA Miller EA Miller Why is it that religious products which theists promise will improve your life (e.g., books, videos, jewelry) don't come with a "100% satisfaction or your money back" guarantee? Food for thought.
EA Miller EA Miller Problems with the Noah’s Ark claim…

Kangaroos, koalas, and platypuses magically appearing in Australia from Mount Arafat in Turkey without a trace of physical evidence from their journey is quite a conundrum for the Christian apologist.
EA Miller EA Miller There are homophobic atheists in the world, but they certainly don't have a holy book which condemns a person's sexuality. That's the big difference. Atheists, on the whole, are much more acceptable of people’s life-style choices than religious people are.
Pat Simons Pat Simons No matter of science was ever resolved through a debate. In science, evidence and testability are the only things that matter.Therefore, when the creationist wants to debate evolution, they've already lost the argument. They're just too full of supernatural nonsense to realize it.
Pat Simons Pat Simons One man's heresy, is another man's self-evident truth. And around and around it goes. You'd think an all powerful god could have done a better job of getting his/her/its message out.

Based on over 150 years of data collection, documentation, and scientific research

One of the greatest tragedies in mankind's entire history may be that morality was hijacked by religion. • Arthur C. Clarke
Earl Lee People have a natural desire to believe. It is programmed in our genetics. How else do you explain, for example, the remarkable growth of the mormon church in the last 150 years. People can be made to believe anything, no matter how goofy it is.
Rick Reynolds I don't use the term 'miracle' lightly. I don't believe in God, or reincarnation, or destiny, or the Publishers' Clearinghouse Sweepstakes.
Bill Sheehan If God is omnipotent and all-good, then how could evil exist?

If we exterminate ourselves as a species, and vaporize our beautiful world, the universe will not cry with us (a condition called the pathetic fallacy). No gods will intervene. It will just happen, and then the universe will go on. We will not be remembered. We will simply not be. • Vjay Prozak
Isaac Asimov Properly read, the Bible is the most potent force for atheism ever conceived.
Incontinentious Incontinentious Millions in the U.S.A. actually believe an invisible being made a universe 28 billion light years across in a few days, but still made Noah get millions of pairs of animals and insects into a huge boat? Seriously... we're fucked.
Alexander Loutsis To really be free, You need to be free in the mind
Mikhail Bakunin If God really existed, it would be necessary to abolish him.
Blulu Reply to yourall embarrassing: I (like many atheists) know the bible really well, probably better than you. It is a good read and contains some useful teachings that still apply. However, anyone who says they believe every word of it is either deceiving others or themselves. It contains so many contradictions, and things that nobody, not even you, honestly believes applies anymore. If you Google "bible contradictions" you will find over 1,000,000 entries. Some written by believers trying (and failing) to justify them and some written by atheists like me who know the bible well enough to know that it is very human written and flawed. Either "god's word" is true or isn't. If there is just one contradiction in it, this would be enough to discredit it as the foundation of any religion, but actually there are many, perhaps hundreds. Those who justify these contradictions ask us to believe that god changed his mind and his principles as the time progressed. How absurd is that? I'm sorry but what you accuse us of here really applies to you. It is believers who have to twist what they read into something that supports their views.

I will stop here, because I know I can never convince you when you are so determined to keep lying to yourself.
jstep religion is the problem not the solution
EA Miller EA Miller This Thanksgiving I am grateful to all of the scientists, past and present, who were responsible for all of the potentially life-saving vaccines that are available to us today. *Note, no gods were involved in the creation of these vaccines, just tons of empirical data and testing for validity.
EA Miller EA Miller On a planet with limited resources, why would an all-knowing god command his people to be fruitful and multiply? Recommending smaller families and contraception seems much more rational.

EA Miller EA Miller Religious folk can keep their “faith”. I much prefer reality.
EA Miller EA Miller Large or small, all religious organizations exhibit cult mentalities that attack reality and rationality for the sake of preserving their fragile belief systems.
Pat Simons Pat Simons If religion equals morality, then why aren't our prisons over-flowing with atheists? You'd think they would be.
Pat Simons Pat Simons Nothing excuses hate and intolerance quite like religion.
EA Miller EA Miller Imagine someone literally hated your guts and wanted you dead simply because you don’t believe in their particular fairy-tale. Sadly, thanks to religion, you don’t have to imagine. Isn’t it time that humanity ditched its ancient violent mythology cults and lived for the betterment of everyone?
Pat Simons Pat Simons Religion . . . both the original cure and the original disease.
Pat Simons Pat Simons Imagine the quality of the minds that would be attracted to Medicine, Law, and other professions if those fields only studied one book, hadn't had a new idea in centuries, and couldn't demonstrate the truth of anything they taught. And yet, the clergy expects to be deferred to.
EA Miller EA Miller Once you realize that all religion is a load of hogwash, you experience the world for the very first time.
