Ivan Ratoyevsky I try hard NOT to think about religion because its all so stupid, all so absurd as to be a complete waste of brain cells, religion is beyond belief. Only stupid irrational human could dream up such utter non sense!!
Ivan Ratoyevsky Isn't it strange that a god would create humans only to then destroy them, allow then to die? If God was (is) so powerful & omnipotent how come god allows death in the first place.
Ivan Ratoyevsky What became the USA was founded on genocide & stolen from the native Indians, the white settlers were ALL religious extremists & so it shows today. The USA is still a place of religious extremists.
AlchemicFanatic To hold belief in God grants the abandonment of responsability in the human condition; in the sense that the human condition is the responsability of God.
The Dude Many religious people say the existence of God cannot be disproven by scientists. Well can religious people prove that superman isn't circling the planet right now? How does not being able to disprove the existence of God the same as proof that God does exist?
Ivan Ratoyevsky The Mystery is, we were all once star dusk, nobody knows where we all came from and nobody knows where we will go in the end. Reality is far far stranger than anything mere humans could create.
Ivan Ratoyevsky We all come from the Primal void, and this life a fleeting dream, we all return to the primal void.
Ivan Ratoyevsky Its NOT my physical death that has me waking up in the depths of the night in total terror, its my EGO death!! The thought that the world will never see, experience or know the uniqueness that is me ever again?
Calliope Muse Calliope Muse The "pro-life" crowd should be called what they really are...misogynists! Under their thumb, pregnant women loose the right to choose what happens with their own bodies. They are relegated to the role of nothing more than "incubators".
Rhys Denovan Faith: the absolute cessation of all manner of thinking and intelligence
Ivan Ratoyevsky God & Religion is just an excuse for the expression of hatred & violence that is initiate in human beings. God & religion touches the shadow side of the human psyche.
Navneeth D Navneeth D You wont find any reason on earth so as to why so much of violence and hatred exists and the sole reason is God & religion.
Navneeth D Navneeth D I always like a dog so long as he isn't spelled backward. - G.K. Chesterton
Ville Väänänen Consciousness is based on the nervous system, to be exact on the brain. Thus, no mind can exist separate from the physical body. The proposition that there would be disembodied spirits (divine beings or genii or souls) is groundless and logically untenable. I think that the religious motives originate from psychological needs, beliefs that arouse and soothe the fear of death, and from social learning.

My ideological stand is scientific, which questions everything, even its own methods and theories, and is open for debate. These critical requirements should keep me intellectually evolving unlike religious views that tend to have a thin skin whenever their gospels are impugned.
Ivan Ratoyevsky If God exists where is the evidence? & funny that intelligent human beings haven't found him yet in over 2000 years. I'd say that's a pretty dam good hiding trick!!
Baron von Knifty Baron von Knifty Religion is sitting on a whoopie cushion three times a day but never questioning where the noise is coming from.

Nick Harding The individual who has chosen to ignore the absurdities and innate contradictions of theological teachings by excersizing free thought has been criticized, ostrasized and even burnt at the stake for knowing that religious faith is a non-starter.
Walt Fristoe No gods and no ancestors do we discern,
We need them the less the more we can learn,
Our lives and our fortunes and fates don't turn
On whether we're saved or whether we'll burn.
Ivan Ratoyevsky There is nothing wrong with having a "Super Ego" that helps guide us through this reality. But don't confuse this with God or Religion or spirituality.
Halil Kaya You believe in god so blindly, you may lead an army of men to death over it, you will pray to your lord with your last words, you will thank the lord daily for creating you.

Well since the world is filled with hatred and pain, since we are born to die. I refuse to believe in your lord, as a favour to world, because a creator which enjoys "testing" its creations in such dispicable ways is pure evil, the devil in your religion.
Navneeth D Navneeth D Our ancestors were so jobless that they invented "THE GOD THEORY".
Ivan Ratoyevsky There may well be an infinite number of religions on earth and they are ALL stupid, and all equally irrelevant. Its only how you confront your own death that ultimately matters and I suggest no god or religion can help you with that in the end. That's why gods are of zero value.
Analin Vader Analin Vader A religious person cannot find truth for the same reason a burglar cannot find a policeman. Truth kills faith. Faith feeds on delusion. If the truth seems unpalatable, change the way you perceive it...
Prof.Uri Nassol Prof.Uri Nassol The gun is against your head and you are about to die. The survival instinct kicks in and you feel absolute terror. What if the gun is against your loved one's head? Your heart is pounding as despair washes over you. NO!!! This is unbearable... what to do? There can only be 2 very basic choices:
1) Pretend the world isn't really the way it is by deluding yourself death is not the end...
2) Try to change the way you think so you still see the beauty in life even when it seems unbearable...

Godfrey Zoan Godfrey Zoan Religion attempts to answer the question "What is the point of it all?". The trouble is, the answers it provides seem to have sprung from the minds of pre-school children with over-active imaginations.
Ivan Ratoyevsky GOD is the Ultimate Absent father!!
Lugh-Kay Adcock A question Lauren-ashley Reimer... Why are you on an thiest quotes site anyway? I'm not athiest... I just like to disprove your noncreditable bible... god spoke to me one day and told me he made humanity as joke, now prove that wron, and ill stop trying to prove you wrong.
Calliope Muse Theists have a long history of wrongly demonizing atheists. They also automatically assume that their beliefs must be respected. If some pompous theist complains that you, as an atheist, are disrespectful of their beliefs, you can counter with: “You disrespect my beliefs, therefore I disrespect yours. Turn about is fair play. You must give respect to get respect. Besides, your beliefs are just batshit crazy!”
Dr.Abraham Kovoor Those who claim miraculous power are either frauds or mentally deranged persons.
Dr.Abraham Kovoor Intellectual visionaries and spiritualists are more dangerous to society than the illeterate ones because the former can spread mental pollution unlike the latter.

Baron von Knifty Baron von Knifty Isn’t it curious that christians will pick and choose their bible to justify their lifestyle, but the part they all keep is the part where they live forever? Seems highly hypocritical to me. It confirmes that the religious are scared to death of death, and they’ll do anything to alleviate that belief, even to the point of turning over their power to reason.

DJ Johnson Claiming to protect the children of this country from moral decay, christians harshly condemned the half-second flash of a woman's nipple on Superbowl Sunday; while each Sunday morning, neglecting to protect their children from the evils of a book, and a religion, that mandates every player in that Superbowl "shall be put to death" because they simply "doeth work" on the sabbath (see Exodus 35:2).
J. Auclair God has and always will be an imaginary figure whose belief of existence has been perpetuated throughout the ages to provide purpose and meaning to those who are insecure about the truth of their existence. Instead of seeking truthful answers to life the religious are merely happy with an answer whether it be truth or not.
Evan Gowing, American Atheist Evan Gowing, American Atheist So many Christians claim to see Jesus in the most random things, such as food. These people do not realize that the face they think they see is actually Da Vinci's Western version of Mr. Christ. Many modern-day Christians would be prejudiced against the true image of this man, as he was from the Middle-East, and they would probably think he was a Muslim.
Evan Gowing, American Atheist Evan Gowing, American Atheist For just a few moments, let's pretend the crucifixion/resurrection scenario is plausible. There's still a problem... Why would God go through so much trouble to artificially inseminate Mary, thereby creating Jesus, who was perfect, and let him die, thereby forgiving the sins of man (I don't understand how an innocent man dying redeems all the sinners) instead of just sending down another flood for some spring cleaning?
john mclaughlin if god made man he also made cancer
Anonymous If everybody were Atheist the world would be a better place. There would be no more wars over religion, and everyone would strive to improve the quality of this life since there isn't one after
Douglas Adams Douglas Adams Even the sceptical mind must be prepared to accept the unacceptable when there is no alternative. If it looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, we have at least to consider the possibility that we have a small aquatic bird of the family Anatidae on our hands.

Jack Pritchard An omnipotent entity cannot also be omniscience as one of his powers must surely be the ability to be surprised.

Conversely, an omniscient entity cannot be omnipotent as he does not have the power of surprise, nor can he ever change his mind or do anything unexpected.

Omnipotence and omniscience are therefore mutually exclusive.

S R Simmy If the bible is true, and the earth is around 2000 years old...What happened to the million year old dinosoars? Were they late for the ark?
S R Simmy Enjoy your church while I enjoy living my life.
Huw Williams Why would an omnipotent and loving God, given carte blanche, create a life form whose utter existence was dependent on eating other life form and, for good measure, create a nervous system so that the eating of that life form would cause unimaginable pain – and the eaten life form being the innocent and harmless herbivores that all get on peacefully together, as God wishes us all to.
Steve Meyer Lack of knowledge does NOT equal magic!
Deklan Religious smart people are a waste of intelligence.
John Fowles Religion and freedom are antipathic concepts; and most men that believe in their imaginary gods do so because they are afraid to believe in the other thing.
unknown 1 I believe only 3 sayings about god : he doesn't send good people to heaven and bad people to hell ,he didn't create us,and he doesn't exist.
unknown 1 Why do people think that God exists,because someone had to create us? If that's the point then who created God
Jack Pritchard God said: 'End program.'
Then the Universe ceased to exist.
God spoke again: 'Delete program.'
And the Universe has never been in existence.

Arthur C. Clarke
Matt Duncan Man creates too many fictional creatures, easter bunny, tooth fairy, god and santa clause, wow mankind is in trouble

The Atheist Apple The Atheist Apple "God: The all-powerful, all-knowing creator of the universe, who miraculously created everything that exists in all its glory. And hates gays."
The Atheist Apple The Atheist Apple Oftentimes I am told by theists, "You offend me!" or "You need to respect my religion!" Yet I consistently see that Atheists are considered the least trustworthy group in the country, they can't hold a job, they can't hold any position of power, and being an atheist will cause you to lose your friends and family. I think it's time they got a taste of what it's like to be discriminated. It's either all discrimination or no discrimination.
