The almighty Jesus didn’t have a clue about the importance of handwashing and germs. He made it clear that he believed that “evil†and "sin" were the root causes of illness. |

Accomplishing anything in life does't require praying for results. It requires actually doing something. |

Religion:
Forfeiting logic and reason for mythological fantasy

EA Miller |
Anything that claims it "passes all understanding" is not science based and belongs in the realm of myth and fairy-tales. |
|
Anthony W. Allsop (Genesis) (admin) |
The Promises Made By Priests And Pastors Are Altogether Meaningless.
Ergo: I'd far rather rely on the sound promise of a new bicycle for Christmas than the empty promise of an 'Aston Martin Vantage' made by a man of the cloth. |

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. |

Creationism is not science and displaying it as such in public school’s textbooks is child abuse, plain and simple. |
|

It amuses me to see 'science denying' religious websites that use technology which wouldn't even exist without science! |

The gods adults pray to are as real as Santa Claus, but much less appealing. |

To "walk by faith and not by sight" would not be wise if you were approaching the edge of a cliff! |

Religion does not spread knowledge. Instead, it perpetuates ignorance through myth and pseudoscience. |

Not all religious people are stupid, but stupid people are always religious. |

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! |

Having to worship Jesus in order to not be sent to hell isn't being "saved" it's being blackmailed

Religion is such a boon! When you think you know the mind of God, you can put your own at rest. Then it can -- and often does -- remain happily inactive for a lifetime! (Observation #1377) |

Psalm 118:8 - "It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in man." Extract from the book of God written by man. |
|

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. |

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.

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 |
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 |
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. |

EA Miller |
As an atheist, I am perfectly capable of peacefully co-existing with theists as long as they keep their religion out of public schools and government. |

Believe in yourself, NOT invisible, non-verifiable gods! |
|
|
EA Miller |
Seems many of mankind’s atrocities are easily forgiven as long as they are committed in the name of the invisible sky god. |

Theory of Evolution:
Based on over 150 years of data collection, documentation, and scientific research
Creationism:
Based on the study of fictional ancient writings and wishful thinking without a hint of 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. |

If God is omnipotent and all-good, then how could evil exist? |

Enoch Author (admin) |
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 |

Properly read, the Bible is the most potent force for atheism ever conceived. |

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. |

If God really existed, it would be necessary to abolish him. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

Religious folk can keep their “faith”. I much prefer reality. |
|
|
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 |
If religion equals morality, then why aren't our prisons over-flowing with atheists? You'd think they would be. |
|

Nothing excuses hate and intolerance quite like religion. |
|

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? |

Religion . . . both the original cure and the original disease. |
|
|
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. |

Once you realize that all religion is a load of hogwash, you experience the world for the very first time. |
