If any of the holy books had been offered up for publication today they would've been laughed out of the publisher's office for being far too amateurish. |

“Have faith†is the perfect thing to say when you are completely opposed to people thinking for themselves. |

"Be kind, rewind."
I figured I'd start saying that old video store VHS quote of decades ago again since it seems that (especially of late) fundamental Christians are taking the entire world back into more primitive times! |

Man is born of the Ape family and evolved.
Though it's quite obvious to me that some humans are not only still dragging their knuckles on the ground, they are also dragging their feet on the road of evolution. |

It's easier to teach children to believe in God than it is to get them to learn good table manners. |

Regarding the honesty of mega-church pastors and faith healers:
What we have here folks is a 4-alarm “pants on fire†situation!

I stubbed my toe really hard the other day and yelled “Jesus!â€
It didn’t help a single bit with the pain.

Nobody can or will take away your God; only Education outside your Holy Books, Reasoning, and Common Sense can do that. |

Faith:
When non-verifiable BS is good enough for you!

“We are just an advanced breed of monkeys on a minor planet of a very average star. But we can understand the Universe. That makes us something very special.â€

Ramakrishnan Gurumoorthy |
If you justify your act of leaving a few millions with a rotten and brutal suffering throughout their life, and put the blame on the sins done from their previous births, you are no less than a sadistic idiot.
And so is god. |

Ramakrishnan Gurumoorthy |
Religion is the fastest working slow-poison mankind has ever consumed. |

It is much better to promise nothing and give everything (Science) than to promise everything and give nothing at all (Religion).

My youngest sister's dying wish.
The Last Wishes of Sylvia Ann Pothecary. (To be opened only after my death.)
My Last Wishes.
I do not want a funeral, especially not a religious one. I do not believe in god, any god. Ergo, I do not believe in Heaven or Hell. ‘Heaven’ is where you choose it to be.
After death I will travel and fly amongst the stars and planets, maybe catch a ride on an asteroid or comet. Come in Hale-Bopp, I'm waiting for you.
My last wishes on this world are:
1) The funeral director to take my body and have it cremated in private.
2) My ashes to be put into a proper pot.
3) My ashes to be taken to Grassthorpe (UK) and scattered on the railway track there, just before The Flying Scotsman comes thundering past.
4) If anyone would like to say something at this scattering, please try to say something nice and put your arms around [my husband] Peter's shoulders.
5) Show this to my family and friends so they can understand.
Sylvia Ann Pothecary (Nee Allsop) 1943-2017.

I reckon the words "atheist" and "theist" should be removed from common usage.
I much prefer the terms "realist" and " brainwashed asshole". |

Two apartment buildings and a church in New York are raised to the ground by a gas explosion. 8 are killed, over 60 are injured and scores made homeless in the middle of winter. An 80 year old Bible is pulled from the rubble intact and it was called a miracle. God obviously has his priorities. |

Using the excuse "Religion also does some good" is like saying, "He may be a rapist, but he always uses a condom." |

My daughter came home from school one day and told me that her teacher taught her the story of Balaam and his donkey. Apparently, this Balaam character used to beat his donkey and after the third day, the donkey spoke to him and asked him why he was beating him. My daughter was obviously very perturbed by this; not by the abuse by the way; and then proceeded to tell me that it must be a fairytale as donkeys cannot speak. I couldn't help but smile to know that I was raising an intelligent child....... |

If there was a God, who was almighty, invincible, incredible etc etc, why would He create us? Just for the sake of His entertainment? So that He could send 99.999999% of us in hell forever? I say GOD CONCEPT FAILS!!! |

I was in church the other day and in the middle of a prayer the lady next to me lit up a cigar!
I was so shocked I nearly dropped my beer. |

Religion makes sense when you don't think about it. |

One person believing in a magical man in the sky is madness.
One hundred people believing in a magical man in the sky is a cult.
One million people believing in a magical man in the sky is a religion. |

I don't have enough hatred in my heart to be a christian. |

Believers call atheists "hard hearted". In all honesty, I'd rather have a hardened heart than a stagnant brain. |

In the Beginning, "Man created God". |

| Esiah Zakite |
If the story of Jesus is the "Greatest Story Ever Told" they obviously haven't seen "Monsters Vs Aliens". It's MUCH more believable! |
|
| Ryan Jewkes |
Believers should thank atheists for giving them a common target for their hatred. History clearly shows that without atheists, religious people quickly turn on each other. |

| Prof Uri Nassol |
Atheism is a wake up call. Theism is a go-back-to-sleep-and-hope-it-all-goes-away call. |
|
Esiah Zakite |
Religion is a prison of the mind and theists are institutionalized. Meanwhile, the atheists have escaped after being falsely imprisoned. |
|

Alan Harvey |
The truth of atheism sets you free more than any religious 'truth'. Free from trying to justify ridiculous myths, free from denying science, and free from being shamed by the words and deeds of other believers. |
|
Albert Einstein |
Man would indeed be in a poor way if he had to be restrained by fear of punishment and hope of reward after death. |

| Annie Dillard, 'Pilgrim at Tinker Creek' |
Eskimo: "If I did not know about God and sin, would I go to hell?"
Priest: "No, not if you did not know."
Eskimo: "Then why did you tell me?"

"God is a hallucination for those to weak to accept that life is meaningless" |
|
| AlchemicFanatic |
I say, if you see a sign reading "Trust God", put a sign beside it reading "Doubt God". An athiest has just as much a right to publically renounce religion as the believers have to publically support it. |

Geoff Mather |
The Bible... fails to point out that slavery, child abuse and rape are bad things. But it did help mankind to abstain from picking up sticks on Saturdays. |

EA Miller |
Religion is the ultimate con-job since it literally requires unfettered belief without ever having to give a shred of evidence in return.

Isn’t it blasphemous to say the “perfect, never changing word of god†needs interpretation?

“God so loved the world†that he created many different types of people and then condemned their differences in his goat-herder’s guide to the galaxy book. |
|

Christopher Manley |
Christianity is an ancient apocalyptic death-cult with a torture-death device representing a mutilated human sacrifice that members pretend to cannibalize in a ritual called communion. What is most disturbing, is they turn to the onlooker with creepy smiles and blank eyes to say, "It's actually quite beautiful, you just wouldn't understand." |
|
|
Pat Simons |
Religion provides a ready made excuse for not dealing with the problems of this world, because everything is going to be so great . . . after we're dead. |
|

The staggering number of Christian tribes is not a compelling argument in favor of the supposed divine inspiration of the gospel writers, . . . who ever they were. |
|

EA Miller |
Why is it that many bookstores’ “inspirational†sections feature religious texts filled with mass-murdering, xenophobic, misogynistic, homophobic, slave-approving gods? |
|
|
EA Miller |
The key to every religion is to convince people that the natural world (the only world) cannot not provide the answers that their mythological deities can. It’s total hogwash of course, but billions of people adhere to this type of delusional reasoning nevertheless. |
|
|
Pat Simons |
To the deluded, the truth will always be received as an insult. |
|

Dr. Idel Dreimer |
What the atheist asks is the ability to describe things as the evidence suggests, and to respond in a rational fashion. Speculations about how things came to be -- no matter how interesting -- lack an evidentiary basis and are ultimately irrelevant to daily life. Speculations about how things should be -- the conduct of society -- these are the subjects of moral philosophy. Religion -- which claims both a human-like originator and a detailed knowledge of his moral conclusions -- is fantasy posing as fact -- and should be valued accordingly. (Observation #1868) |
