EA Miller EA Miller Washed up actor and major Bible-thumper Kirk Cameron ignores directives from health officials to host another maskless Christmas caroling event at a Southern California mall as the region deals with an enormous surge in COVID-19 cases. There seems to be no limit to the damage that religious stupidity can cause.
17
Pat Simons Pat Simons The history of the Abrahamic religions is, to a very large extent, the story of man's inhumanity to man.
17
osirisnut osirisnut A message from our creator, Lord God, and savior. " MERRY MYTHMAS EVERYONE ".
17
osirisnut osirisnut No amount of belief makes something a fact. James Randi

EA Miller EA Miller The King James Version of the Bible was completed in 1611 and contained 80 books. In the 19th century, 14 books were removed. If you buy a King James Bible today, even if it says "1611 King James", chances are it only has 66 books. Why was God unable to keep his word constant and true? Keeping this in mind, pastors often say "God has been the same since the beginning and is never-changing". It honestly makes one wonder if they ever even bothered to research the history of whatever particular version of the Bible they decided to adopt.
17
Pat Simons Pat Simons I will be forever amazed by the theists who have all manner supernatural beliefs, and engage in endless magical thinking, yet demand that atheists be reasonable.
17
EA Miller EA Miller There will never be peace for humanity or equality for everyone as long as religions exist.
17
EA Miller EA Miller By biblical accounts, Jesus was a socialist, middle-eastern hippie with long hair and a robe who advised people to give away their possessions and follow him. That's why I find it quite hypocritical that most Christians would condemn such a person from joining their worship groups and somehow still claim he is their personal savior.
17
Pat Simons Pat Simons If you take away the conjecture, special pleading, and magical thinking, . . . very little remains of Christianity.
17
Pat Simons Pat Simons The worst kind of slavery is that which results from refusing to think for one's self.
17
Dr. Idel Dreimer Dr. Idel Dreimer Religion represents an early imaginative explanation of the workings of the universe and a powerful tribal glue considered -- usefully -- too "sacred" for criticism. As more facts about the universe have been discovered, a significant dichotomy has appeared -- between the still tribally entranced and the newly freed -- whose thinking has sensibly advanced. (Observation #1886)
17
Pat Simons Pat Simons When it comes to religion, how does one determine what's nonsense, and what isn't?
17
Pat Simons Pat Simons The next time you see a preacher putting on an impassioned performance, remember this, truth NEVER requires theatrics.
17
EA Miller EA Miller It's important to remember that none of us speak for the all of the atheists on planet Earth. To assume such a thing would be quite the act of hubris.

 Apostasy should be worshipped.
17
Dr. Idel Dreimer Dr. Idel Dreimer Religious hypotheses are unverifiable by the living -- the only "evidence" is ancient personal assertion -- or mythic "facts" woefully lacking in credibility. But fantasy is its own protection: it is a unifying realm beyond the fractious quibbles of intellect. Religion provides a sense of certainty, assures moral superiority, and comforts believers with a sense of community through repeated shared rituals. We should never underestimate the power of stupidity that is reassuringly communal. (Observation #1861)
17
Liverson Mwandawiro Liverson Mwandawiro If we are to believe the creation theory of the Bible then we must accept the fact that God created the universe while he was inside the universe.
17
Pat Simons Pat Simons The surest way to have faith in the Bible, is to never read a word of it.

 The reason we don't see God is because he's far far away in the cosmos creating suns, moons and planets by the trillion and hasn't got the time to revisit all of them.

 How do you see the stories in the holy books? Fictionally entertaining or factually educational?
17
Pat Simons Pat Simons Tell someone paint is wet, and they'll touch it to be sure. Tell them there is an invisible man in the sky who knows all their thoughts and is watching them at all times, and they'll get on their knees and pray to it.
17
Pat Simons Pat Simons Religion does not come from any God. Religion is the product of human fear and ignorance.
17
EA Miller EA Miller There is nothing religious leaders fear more than a person who actually thinks for themselves. Hence their need for early indoctrination/child abuse.
17
EA Miller EA Miller If religion existed in a vacuum and did not adversely effect so many people, I would have no problem with it. But as history (ancient and modern) has shown time and time again, this is most definitely NOT the case.
17
osirisnut osirisnut Atheists do look for answers to existence itself. They just don't make them up. Teller
17
Pat Simons Pat Simons The frequency with which miracles occur appears to be inversely proportional to our ability to investigate them.
17
EA Miller EA Miller Pastors often say “Watch this!” when they are referring to what they believe is an important part of the Bible. Scientists say “watch this” when they actually want to show you something, like a chemical reaction or celestial event occurring in the sky. Notice the difference?
17
EA Miller EA Miller EWTN (Catholic television) produced a Christmas film in which Santa kneels down before Jesus. Seriously, WTF?
17
EA Miller EA Miller It’s so sad to see religion turn a strong, independent person into a whiny individual dependent on the approval of invisible non-existent gods.
17
EA Miller EA Miller If all religion wasn’t bullshit, there would be no need to indoctrinate innocent children or other vulnerable people (e.g., recovering addicts, the impoverished, the traumatized) because actual evidence would speak for itself. But alas, there is no real evidence for any religious claim. There never has been.
17
EA Miller EA Miller If Adam supposedly named all the creatures of the Earth, how exactly did he name those living deep in the depths of the ocean that were only discovered by scientists over the last few centuries?
17
EA Miller EA Miller If there was literally a way to “shut off brain functioning”, attending church would be one such way to do so.
17
EA Miller EA Miller Religious folk in government would absolutely strip you of every last civil liberty you currently have if they thought it meant pleasing their invisible imaginary friend in the sky.
17
Pat Simons Pat Simons If Truth was the product of belief, we would be living on a flat earth at the center of the universe.
17
EA Miller EA Miller Much like invisible money, invisible gods are absolutely worthless.
17
osirisnut osirisnut The Catholic Church can be thought of as a round colossal well-polished turd that's bright and shiny to look at and will attract millions of people to admire and adore, but ultimately it's still only shit.
17
Dr. Idel Dreimer Dr. Idel Dreimer The God hypothesis -- a patriarchal and very human alpha male as Creator-in-Chief -- seems weak -- but perhaps understandable among primitive tribes with few facts and active imaginations. When the theory is embellished and developed by religions -- which suggest that God -- managing his vast universe -- or universes -- has nothing better to do than anguish about the affairs of mankind -- and that certain special, chosen human beings know exactly what he is thinking -- "absurdity" and "idiocy" are words insufficient to the descriptive challenge. (Observation #1756)
17
Pat Simons Pat Simons It's bad enough religion makes a virtue of believing in the absence of evidence, but what is much worse is when religion makes a virtue out of believing in the face of solid evidence against the belief in question.

 Gods DO exist, but only in the human imagination. Each believer is host to his/her personal god that lives between their ears. It never comes out from that prison like cell, it just lives there being kept alive while slowly dying.

When it's keeper dies, so too does his/her god.

 The god of the Old Testament falls down in the first few lines of Genesis. Jesus of the New Testament takes a little longer, but not much.
17
Pat Simons Pat Simons The clergy is the last group you should ever trust with your rights and freedoms.
17
Pat Simons Pat Simons If there was such a thing as doctrinal truth, there wouldn't be 30,000+ varieties of Christianity.
17
osirisnut osirisnut The world is populated with people that are non-religious homo sapiens and people who are religious homo simpletons.
17
Pat Simons Pat Simons If it is proper to give thanks to god for being fed, what then is proper for a hungry person?

 Why do some folk feel the need to have to read their holy books over and over or at least have them read to them?

I only had to read Charles Darwin's book 'The Origin of Species' once and I was convinced that the holy books had it all wrong.

EA Miller EA Miller When I hear: "Most religious people are harmless."

My response to that is: "Perhaps, but if religion is replaced at the benign level with science, reason, and humanist ideals, it's far less likely to become malignant at some point in the future."

Gregarious Gregarious Guys: This site is not for arguing with each other! We all have our beliefs and think that we are right - but we simply don't know! That is the beauty of being an Atheist: We are not afraid to say "We Don't Know". So, stop criticizing and putting each other down. The site is for expressions of Atheism amd Atheists' views. For the religious, keep your views and beliefs out of here. Those are for some other site. You don't belong here! But let us accept the views and comments of fellow Atheists without criticism or censure. We are all free to express our Atheist views in any way we wish! Thanks.

"Saying things people don't like about a non-existent, invisible god and many times being scorned or getting severely punished for doing so."

17
EA Miller EA Miller Odd how Jesus's "golden rule" strongly resembles what Confucius said 500 years before it, "Never impose onto others what you would not choose for yourself." Yet another plagiarism in the "good book" and not the words of an almighty savior.
