Why is it ever acceptable to indoctrinate children with ideas an educated adult would almost certainly reject out of hand if hearing them for the first time? This massively screwed up world is, to a huge extent, the work product of believers, not secular-humanists. |

There are bad nuns and there are good nuns, the bad nuns have been caught as yet the good ones haven't. |

The clergy, any clergy, is the last group that should ever hold the power of life and death over others. |
|

EA Miller |
In Matthew 14:18 Jesus supposedly fed 5,000+ people by performing a miracle transforming 5 loaves and 2 fish into a massive feast. Isn't it odd though that none of the 5,000+ wrote about or talked to anyone about the miracle and none of the names who witnessed it are given? Something very fishy (pun intended) is going on here! |

There is no horror that cannot be, and has not been, justified in the name of god, religion, and morality. |
|
Anthony W. Allsop (Genesis) (admin) |
There's infinitely more evidence of the age of the Earth and Evolution to be found in my own back garden than there is evidence to be found of the existence of any god or the claimed 7,000- years old creation in the whole wide world. |

Our sun is only one of countless TRILLIONS of suns out there in the universe. Maybe the creator thingy wore an asbestos radiation proof suit during the making of them. |

Just as Harry Potter is the invention of WOMAN, ALL religious entities are the invention of MAN. |
|

Many theists fear atheists simply because they seek the truth, and the truth is the last thing a theist ever wishes to pursue. Their goal is to perpetuate a delusion at all costs. |

The pious say: God will wreak his revenge on the unbelievers.
The unbelievers reply: Which one?

Mythology/Fairy-tales. There's little difference. I find them both entertaining, though not informative. |

The believer's faith is in no way validated by attacking the non-believer's lack of it. |
|
|
Pat Simons |
A god who requires apologists to explain things isn't very good at getting its point across, and the christian god has failed miserably. |

If some book in the bible discussed quantum mechanics, germ theory, the nature of atoms, or the heliocentric solar system, then I might believe it was at least possible it was of divine origin. As it stands, there is not a single thing contained in the bible, or any other magic book, that could not have been produced by the minds of the MEN who wrote it. Women, it should be noted, can take great pride in never having contributed a single line to the bible. |

Those who would break down the barriers between church and state always imagine their own tribe in charge, and making the rules for everyone else. What they should be doing is imagining the tribe they dislike most having control over their lives. The second scenario, will definitely be someone's reality. |

Through out the entire span of human history, there has never been a civilization that destroyed itself by being too reasonable. |

"Only fools believe that THEIR god is the answer and not mine." Any Theist. |

Some of the things I dislike most about organized religion are the people who do the organizing. |
|

A mugger says "Put your hands up" while the priest says "Put your hands together" Either way, you hand over your money and pray. |

Only religious bigoted hated could be used to blame things (such the devastation caused by hurricanes, tornadoes, wildfires, and other natural disasters) on the gay population living in these areas. |
|

Theology is the only field I know of having multiple, irreconcilable, paradigms, every one of which is based entirely on conjecture. It is a field of study deserving even less respect than astrology. |
|
|
EA Miller |
Wonder what would work better... Praying for fish & chips when I'm hungry or just heading to the local pub and ordering them? |
|
|
EA Miller |
I took a "World Religions" course in college some time ago. Despite the utter nonsense portrayed, representatives from each of the various religions all proclaimed their god(s) to be the real thing with all others being imposters. The only thing the class did for me was to solidify my atheism! |
|
|
Pat Simons |
I've long felt Christianity to be comprised of roughly equal parts comfort myth, and revenge fantasy. If talk of heaven doesn't keep the money rolling in, then threaten people with eternal damnation. |
|

To all the theologians of the world I ask.......PROVE IT! Provide some testable evidence for your endless mental gymnastics that have motivated otherwise good people to kill, torture, and destroy in the name of what you dream up. |

The cultural imprint of Christianity is huge, and it is because of this cultural imprinting apologists accept a story they would reject for lack of evidence if it involved anything but Jesus.

It takes very little to convince the person determined to believe. |

Those who doubt and investigate myths find real truths. |

Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit religion. |

Anthony W. Allsop (Genesis) (admin) |
God and the Devil are fictional super heroes and villains just like Batman and The Joker. |
|

Religion is based on superstition. That should be obvious to anyone who can THINK beyond it. |
|

TV Pastor: "You shouldn't even get dressed in the morning without first consulting with God."
Me: "Thank goodness Christians don't heed that advice because, aside from a lucky few, most of us look a lot better in clothing than without it!" |
|

EA Miller |
I do not believe in fairy-tales. I believe in things I can visibly see and things not visible to the naked eye whose existence can be proven by scientific means, such as atoms and microbial bacteria. |
|

Blackmail (emotional and monetary) is very strong in religion. |
|
|
Ignasi Reches |
Religion is the last relic of the primitive mind and its eradication is necessary to achieve the full potential of the human race. |
|
|
EA Miller |
TV Pastor: "When God puts us through storms in our lives, this is his way of testing our faith and showing that he loves us."
Me: "How exactly does this apply to children dying of terminal cancer throughout the world? Seems they're going through one hell of a storm!" |

No one should have to forfeit their life for thinking and speaking their mind. |

Dr. Idel Dreimer |
Fear and ignorance are the foundation stones of religion. (Observation # 1532) |
|

EA Miller |
An atheist never threatens a person with “an eternity in hell†for not adhering to his/her lack of belief. |
|
|
EA Miller |
Non-existent things cannot harm you, but the people who “act in their name†most assuredly can. |
|

EA Miller |
When stupidity takes over for critical thinking, “Wah-Lah!†we have religion. |
|
|
Pat Simons |
Theology is long on mental gymnastics, and very short on testable evidence. |
|
|
EA Miller |
Ignorance is, and always has been, religion’s best friend. |
|
|
EA Miller |
If religious adults are truly confident in their god(s) and beliefs, why not let their children read both religious and atheists’ perspectives and decide for themselves? Surely the “literal word of a god†could stand up to a little critical thinking. |
|

Anyone who genuinely believes in invisible beings in the sky needs a serious reality check. |

EA Miller |
Until he comes in ‘coupon form’, Jesus will never become my personal Saviour. |
|
|
Dr. Idel Dreimer |
Religion is a kind of formalized insanity in which suppositions are transformed into facts. The trouble is -- any insanity sufficiently common and widespread is viewed as completely normal. (Observation #1063) |
|
|
EA Miller |
My idea of paradise is a world without religion where a person is judged by their character rather than barbaric ancient myth. |

EA Miller |
I've noticed that a lot of Christian TV programs use a "G-rating" (All Audiences) when they air and speak of crucifixions or most of humanity being murdered in a world-wide flood. This is in no way an example of them exercising their right to "religious freedom", but rather "religious privilege" pushing its very ugly agenda. |

When it comes to religion, how does one determine what's nonsense, and what isn't? |

"You believe in a book that has talking animals, wizards, witches, demons, sticks turning into snakes, burning bushes, food falling from the sky, people walking on water, and all sorts of magical, absurd and primitive stories, and you say that we are the ones in need of help?"
- Mark Twain |

The fool hath said in his heart, "There is a man in the sky who loves us, so he murdered babies, flooded the earth, hates the gays he created, that anyone who dares to disbelieve is a sinner and is going to hell despite the lack of proof, and more." |

You want proof that religion is the root of most hatred?
1. Christianity was used by a lot of people to justify racism against and slavery of blacks.
2. Islam is being used by a chunk of people to justify their hatred of white people ("white people are the devil" is what some of them have said).
3. Homophobia (Just read the Bible).
4. Sexism (Depends on which side you're looking at: misogyny because it is used to control women, and misandry because men are made into sacrificial lambs).
5. More. (I need a list of evils) |

Some religious people say that atheism is misogynistic.
I'm sorry, but I'm not the one throwing acid women's faces, refusing to let women drive a vehicle "because," making sure that women can't be a leader in said religion, murdering women in "honor killings" because they decided to get an education, and more.
So how are atheists the misogynistic ones when it's religious people doing these things? |
|
|
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) |

EA Miller |
I always get a chuckle when I hear priests and pastors constantly saying things like, "God's word is the same as it has been from the beginning and is never changing." Let's face it, the god of the OT wouldn't even recognize the god in the NT! |

When people need help, I don't pray for them. I actually help them. |

hope you all doing well in this hard time. please accept my apologies for my English as am trying my best here  anyway I am just a crazy guy who is just curious about everything so now I am in the middle of nowhere with my new research and hope I'll get the answer from you. happiness is what I am trying to search for. It's not the dopamine hormone that I care about its why there is a connection between slow processing in our brains that make laughing easier, I keep looking at little babies laughing at the spoon falling down from the table. At my friends when they are high they look just like they don't care and laughing for nothing, i drink alcohol just to find out where am i . on a scale from 0 to 10 where 0 is no awareness like sleeping and 10 is where am awake having my morning coffee getting ready to work. am not sure but the more I lose it more it's easier not to care and easier to laugh. am Athiest so I hope the answer is according to science. thank you a lot for the amazing effort. Sam. |
