TJ Karaba |
I tried to change my world as an overbearing atheist. It would not change. I became a positive human who happened to be an atheist and my world changed. |

Analin Vader |
If every child is a gift from God, what about the cojoined twins, deformed, severely disabled and still-born ones? Punishment I suppose.. or perhaps God working in "mysterious ways"? |

The only 'soul' you need is the one on the bottom of your shoes... or the stuff pumping out through your stereo! |

Evan Gowing |
If the universe is infinite, then time is infinite.
If time is infinite, then there is no origin.
If there is no origin, then there is no god.
If there is no god, then there is no heaven or hell.
If there is no heaven or hell, then we must live for today. |

| Calliope Muse |
Why do christians keep insisting that the bible is fact, not fantasy? The god of their bible is an evil, sadistic, megalomaniacal monster. Why would anyone, in their right mind, want that to be true? |

The clarity of religious faith: If your child dies at the hands of a suicide bomber, it's god testing your faith. Or maybe punishing your lack of it. Or maybe he can't interfere with the bomber's free will. Or maybe he wanted the child in heaven with him. Or maybe the child was a sinner. Or maybe the child's ancestors were sinners. Or maybe god is acting in mysterious ways. Or maybe it's the work of the devil. Or maybe you worship the wrong god. Or maybe he agrees with the bomber's politics. Or maybe it's part of some great scheme. Or maybe the child was an unbeliever. Etc.,etc.,etc...
The clarity of atheism: If your child dies when a suicide bomber blows himself up, it's because of religion. |

Bertrand Russell |
A nun was once asked:
'Sister, why do you cover yourself with a bathrobe in the bath?',
and she replied:
'But my dear, you forget about the eyes of Our Lord.'
So we are asked to believe in a Diety whose omnipotence allows him to see through bathroom walls but is then foiled by bathrobes.

All religious experiences, all near death experiences, all feelings of community and group identity, all feelings of despair and loss, just about everything that we mean when we talk about faith... they can ALL be explained using psychology and neurology. If you need to 'believe'... you need to change the way you think! |

The more you tell me about him, the more your lord of heaven sounds like my neighbor from hell. |

Atheists aren't offended by gods, they are offended by the death and bigotry that comes with worshiping them. |
|
| Baron von Knifty |
If the bible is the word of a perfect god then every letter, every word, every sentence and every paragraph would have been perfect. Then why has man decided to edit the bible all down through history?
|

| Daniel Renner |
When men destroy their old gods, they will find new ones to take their place. |
|
| Mark Fairclough |
If god is the alpha and the omega. The begining and the end, knows what has passed and what is to come, like it states in the bible, why do people pray and think it will make any difference. "NUTS" |
|
| Chapman Cohen |
Gods are fragile things; they may be killed by a whiff of science or a dose of common sense. |
|
| Vancoqt |
The masses fear, love and embrace god. The skeptics question, challenge and condemn god. The opportunists kidnap, manipulate and exploit god. |
|
| Robert M. Pirsig |
When one person suffers from a delusion, it is called insanity. When many people suffer from a delusion it is called Religion. |

I would rather die than to follow the orders of a sexist, intolerant, homophobic, violent old man. |

Trying to find "The One True Religion" is like looking for a needle in a haystack that is hiding no needles. |
|
| Nietzsche |
So long as the priest, that professional negator, slanderer and poisoner of life, is regarded as a superior type of human being, there cannot be any answer to the question: What is truth? |

Stop, look up.
See that commercial airliner.
It's at a cruising altitude of 30,000 ft.
Mt. Everest is 29,029 ft high.
Add 22ft to that (29,051) and you're almost at the height of that jet (the bible says God flooded the earth to 22ft above the highest mountain) and you're seriously telling me you believe the world was flooded to that height because a bronze age book told you to believe it! So for an entire year Noah and the entire worlds animal, bird and fish populations lived on an ark IN the death zone where no human has ever survived long because there isn't enough oxygen to sustain human life. |

I have always had my doubts about an all powerful being located in the sky.
When I served in Iraq in 2003, that is when I knew there was no god. I observed the people of Iraq and saw the hatred they had of not just other religions, but of different sects of the same religion. The sunni and shia sects of islam believe in the same god but hate each other. That makes no sense to me.
All modern day religions started in the middle east and all modern day religions are offshoots of the jewish religion. If they all believe in the same god, then why all the fighting?
I have spent a total of 26 months in the middle east. I have learned that in their culture it is OK to lie. After 26 months one gets very tired of lies. Based on this, why should I believe a word anyone from the middle east says about a god or religion? And why should I believe in any god or religion that was invented in the middle east. I cannot, that is why I am proud to say I am an Atheist and I am even more proud my daughter is a free thinking Atheist.

In response to "The only one living his life for god" Those are not quotes, that's the start of a debate. Theists are terrible at debates because they rely on faith based assumptions rather than fact. When theists claim to have facts you end up with creationism, which is close to uncomprehendingly idiotic. |
|
| Martin Wagner (TAE) |
Faith is hope and desire mistaken for knowledge. A lot of people are very hopeless. It's an emotional need being fulfilled. Religion 's business is in selling you more hope.

The "free will" Christians claim their god gives them always baffles me. Telling people to either accept Jesus as their Lord and Savior and repent or burn in hell forever is a threatening ultimatum, not free will in any respect! |

OUR CREATION?
Did you know that life on the 4,500,000,000 year old Earth began around 3,800,000,000 years ago while Mankind as we know it didn't make it on Earth until around 1,000,000 years ago?
That means that our planet managed quite well without us for approximately 4,499,000,000 years and most of the life on Earth managed for 3,799,000,000 years without us interfering.
It also points to the fact that our planet will manage quite well without us should we all succumb to some dreadful disease of other 'calamity'.
Now what was this you were saying about our creation? |
