Gregarious |
I don’t often go to church … but when I do, I look forward to eating the flesh of my imaginary friend and drinking his blood, so that when I die I can live forever with him in the sky. Cannibalism and blood-drinking, man, that’s what it’s all about! |

Recently I heard a 14-year boy respond to a Christian praise celebration by saying, “Religion is crazy and stupid.†All I could do was smile. Maybe there is some hope for our youth!

Odd how the Egyptians, who kept wonderful records of events, never mentioned a thing about the spectacular adventures of Moses. |
|

Dr. Idel Dreimer |
The chief concern of religion -- the most potent force in tribalism -- has always been power; its aim is to instil, as the mainspring of human action, the imagined preferences of the God or Gods. When behaviour is firmly premised on fantasy, it is resistant to reason, and is susceptible to manipulation by those who can most convincingly interpret the "desires" of Divinity. (Observation #1738) |

Exactly where does going bald and erectile disfunction fit into God’s “perfect†plan? |

The Catholic Church claims “Mary is the model of motherhood.†How is this claim even remotely valid since not a single instance of her motherhood is even mentioned in the Bible from the time Jesus was an infant all the way up into his early thirties? |

Religion like monachry. There is no rational reason for their existence. |

Why do theists call it a “spiritual awakening†when you actually have to “deaden†your thought process to believe in that shit? |

NO words of god(?) are worth the clay tablet/parchment/papyrus they were written on. |

It is bad enough that religion makes a virtue out believing in the absence of evidence, what is far worse is making an even bigger virtue out of believing in the face of solid evidence against those things. |
|

Why in this era where multimedia devices seem to be absolutely everywhere does an all-knowing, all-seeing God still require interpretations of ancient texts to get his point across? |
|

While the theist is a slave to his/her god, the road leading up to the latest religions is paved with the remains of thousands of long dead gods. |

The early Christian clerics thought of their congregations so stupid that they used bells to remind them to attend church on Sundays. Strangely enough, it's a practice still used today. |

Thousands of faceless, nameless, imaginary characters witness the amazing miracles of their savior so is it really any wonder that there is absolutely no contemporaneous history that provides evidence for the Bible’s credibility. The non-existent cannot provide real accounts of anything. |

All religion has ever given the world is a lot to overcome. |

God's Witnesses are dreamers. They merely relate their dreams instead of keeping them to themselves. It's that simple.
Muhammad goes to bed, goes to sleep. Is picked up by some angel riding a winged donkey and flies up to heaven to have an audience with his god and then wakes up in his own bed again.
I mean, how would WE explain such an event as that?
I've had dreams of being in bed with 'Pan's People' and thoroughly enjoying myself and waking up in a damp bed.
Maybe that was MY idea of Heaven. |

No religion can hold up to historical or scientific scrutiny which is why those who benefit from religion shun any type of real scrutinization. |

If a thing is true you can question it all you want, and it will be the thing you keep coming back to. Organized religion is not noted for encouraging people to question the things they teach. |

If something can be destroyed by facts and reason, then it needs to be destroyed. |

Dr. Idel Dreimer |
The development of varied, extraordinarily complex, conscious living creatures from inanimate matter is nothing less than miraculous. But there is nothing inherently moral about the process or the result. Most living creatures are caught up in a ruthless scheme of necessary murder -- and morality is a rather rare concept derived from the lives of a few of the most complex creatures who live in social groups. The great error of religion is to assume that what is miraculous must also be moral. It simply isn't. (Observation #1714) |

The Bible is as "fresh and exciting" (words many pastors and priests use in sermons) as its writers who were misogynistic, homophobic, child abusing, slave-approving, ancient desert dwellers (that never traveled farther than a donkey ride from their homes) can be! |
