Dr. Idel Dreimer |

A Christian once told me that god “would always provide everything he needed†so I politely asked for the keys to his Mercedes. |

When things are not questioned, and answers are not sought, people settle for religion. |

Gods have been and still ARE being created - by Man - in order to appease the losers. |

Every religion is a cult. The closer a person follows their particular religion’s holy book(s) determines just how strong of a cult member they actually are. |

Many are those who for comfort's sake, pulled the snug blanket of religion tightly above their head only to die from suffocation. - John Aubrey |

disbelief crept over me at a very slow rate, but was at last complete. The rate was so slow that I felt no distress, and have never since doubted even for a single second that my conclusion was correct. I can indeed hardly see how anyone ought to wish Christianity to be true . . . • Charles Darwin, |

I'm glad to be a moral person because I want to. Not because of a threat of death or eternal damnation. Pity to those who need to be frightened into being good people. |

Richard Dawkins |
"In my view not only is science corrosive to religion, religion is corrosive to science. It teaches people to be satisfied with trivial super natural non explanations and blinds them to the wonderful real explanations that we have within our grasp. It teaches them to except authority, revelation, and faith instead of always insisting on evidence." |

All world leaders need to be athiest as the job requires common sense and logical thinking. Theists are lacking these traits. |

Many of us saw religion as harmless nonsense. Beliefs might lack all supporting evidence but, we thought, if people needed a crutch for consolation, where's the harm? September 11th changed all that. Revealed faith is not harmless nonsense, it can be lethally dangerous nonsense. Dangerous because it gives people unshakeable confidence in their own righteousness. Dangerous because it gives them false courage to kill themselves, which automatically removes normal barriers to killing others. Dangerous because it teaches enmity to others labelled only by a difference of inherited tradition. And dangerous because we have all bought into a weird respect, which uniquely protects religion from normal criticism. Let's now stop being so damned respectful! |

If you want to get together in any exclusive situation and have people love you, fine - but to hang all this desperate sociology on the idea of The Cloud-Guy who has The Big Book, who knows if you've been bad or good - and CARES about any of it - to |

Christianity:
The belief that some cosmic Jewish Zombie can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him that you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree.
Makes perfect sense. |

The mere fact there is a field referred to as apologetics should be a far bigger problem for theists than it is. Apologetics is, in itself, a compelling case for atheism. |

This massively screwed up world is, to no small extent, the work-product of people who believe in the power of prayer.

Why is it that many bookstores’ “inspirational†sections feature religious texts filled with mass-murdering, xenophobic, misogynistic, homophobic, slave-approving gods? |

The very basis of any religion often depends upon a premise that a god can suspend, or violate the otherwise immutable laws of nature upon special requests (e.g., prayer) or upon some whim of god's will |

Is this the answer to the flat or round Earth debate? There are LOTS of flat planets out there in the solar system.
However, we can't see them all 'cos some of them are edge on to the Earth. |

It is infinitely better to admit one doesn't know something, than it is to claim knowledge one could not possibly possess. Religious people, the clergy in particular, excel at the latter. |

Believers' will make claim that their god is spiritual and at the same time make claim that their god can speak and can also design and build.
How come their god can form IDEAS without having a brain?
How come their god can SPEAK without having vocal cords?
How come their god can MOVE things without having bone muscle and sinew?
I'm just an old man but I'll challenge any of their gods to a 'best of three' arm wrestling match to be followed by a 'best of three' at tic-tac-toe.
And then we finish off with a KARAOKE singing contest. |

On “Joni Table Talkâ€, a Christian TV show, one of the guests on the show stated that she was on the beach praying for sand dollars and found 8 of them. Odd how praying to the same god doesn’t prevent children from dying in cancer wards or people from starving to death around the world. |

Wonder how many people who were starving to death in third world countries "gave their lives to Jesus" when some bible-thumping missionary gave them a bowl of protein slop to eat? Yet another sad example of indoctrinating very vulnerable people.

Contrary to what Christian leaders claim, there is no such thing as having "spiritual authority" over anything. It's no coincidence that televangelists use their "spiritual authority" to clean out their followers' bank accounts. |

In the Bible, Jesus says, "I and the father are one." In doing so, he is automatically responsible for all of the atrocities committed by God in the Old Testament. |

When a preacher tries to explain god's motives behind a natural disaster, you can be certain he's trying to lend supernatural sanction to his own bigotry. |

Conservatism is by its very nature intolerant, stagnant and backward looking. This is doubly true when applied to religion. |
