| John McNair |
Catholic history is quite funny. With the ark of the covenent everything was a secret. No one could see the ten commandments except the high priest. It reminds me of a child having a secret box and pretending theres something in it |

| Richard Dawnkins |
The God of the Old Testament is arguably the most unpleasant character in all fiction: jealous and proud of it; a petty, unjust, unforgiving control-freak; a vindictive, bloodthirsty ethnic cleanser; a misogynistic, homophobic, racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal, sadomasochistic, capriciously malevolent bully |

Say nothing, change nothing. By being outspoken atheists are having an impact in a way that decades of niceness & silence have not.

Why call the Bible the "Good Book"? It's one of the worst books ever written. You might as well call Gigli the "Good Movie". |

Which is more awe inspiring... a snow flake designed by an invisible intelligence, or a snowflake that exists without the need for any creator? Religion is pointless homo sapien vanity. |

Atheism seeks to make sense of the world AS IT IS.
Theism seeks to make sense of the world AS WE WISH IT COULD BE. |

Francis Bacon |
Men fear death as children fear to go in the dark; and as that natural fear in children is increased by tales, so is the other. |

If you could transport yourself back 2,000 years to Jerusalem, just think, your wristwatch, ball point pen, pen light and that Pez dispenser would all be considered miracles to those simple desert nomads.

If you have a faith that needs to be maintained on a weekly basis at a Church in order to maintain belief, then it's probably not true. |

...Hey, let's get serious, people, God knows what he's doing, he wrote this book here, and the Book says he made us all to be just like Him, so, if we're dumb, then God is dumb, and maybe even a little ugly on the side.... (from Dumb All Over) |

"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?"

Facts, like living things, have intrinsic value in and of themselves and demand respect. Yet some people use them as a means to an end and dismiss them as soon as they are done using them. For some delusional others, facts are irrelevant and should be ignored because they cloud their preconceived notions and beliefs. |
|
|
Gregarious |
In the way that skepticism is sometimes applied to issues of public concern, there is a tendency to belittle, to condescend, to ignore the fact that, deluded or not, supporters of superstition, myths, pseudoscience, fantasy, and delusion are human beings with feelings, who, like the skeptics, are trying to figure out how the world works and what our role in it might be. Their motives are in many cases consonant with science. If their culture, ethos, intellect or values have not given them all the tools they need to pursue this great quest, let us temper our criticism and reproach with kindness. None of us comes fully equipped.
… Carl Sagan.

If you identify with a specific religion, ask yourself:
1. Why did so many Gods and belief systems predate your own?
2. Why did these myriads of previous gods and belief systems simply fade into history?
3. Why were they so ardently believed at the time but are now simply referred to as ‘mythology’ – Greek, Norse, Roman? Why is yours any different and unique?
4. Could your god and religion really be a myth and an illusion, be headed in the same direction, will one day fade away, be classified as just another mythology, and end up in the trash can of history?
5. Why is it that there are such similar and comparable stories about so many of the gods?
6. Why didn’t your God choose a global revelation, instead of a geographic and culture-specific one?
7. Why were you lucky enough to be born into the “right†faith and everyone else into the wrong one?
8. Could you be wrong and, perhaps, someone else is right? Since everyone can’t be right, is it just possible that all peoples and societies of faith are totally misguided, mistaken, delusional, wrong?
9. Why do you still subscribe to the supernatural, paranormal, superstitious, mystical, and spiritual, that defy the laws of Nature and Physics, when we know so much more today – thanks to science?

Faith is an insertion of absolute belief and conviction that is assumed without reason and defended against all sense, logic, reason, and evidence. |

You can believe something sincerely, fervently, zealously and passionately … and still be wrong! |

I agree with the statement Martin Luther made in 1521 that “Here I stand, I cannot do otherwise.†It is just that we are on opposite sides on the Belief Fence. |

According to the Bible, God planned and created Adam & Eve and rest of the world population was planned and created by Satan through a talking snake that convinced Eve to eat from a magical tree of knowledge which god didn't not want them to eat from. |

Had there been just one god and one religion on earth I'd have been an atheist(still).
Because I know about mankind. They'd never keep it in one piece. |

Once people stop thinking for themselves and allow dogma to dictate their lives, it’s GAME OVER for rational thought. |

Theology is the absolute opposite of rational thinking. I think, therefore I am atheist! |

Do you often cherry-pick the bible to convince yourself that your god is good? Are you so narrow-minded that you don’t value beliefs that don’t match your own? Do you fear real science? Then, my friend, you may be suffering from a bad case of Christianity! |

EA Miller |
Many people who call themselves “good Christians†often waste no time in condemning atheists as evil, an abomination. Makes me wonder what they’d think of me, an atheist who makes monthly donations to St. Jude Children’s Hospital? I don’t do this because I feel obligated to some god. I do it because I actually care about sick children. |

EA Miller |
Anyone who says “god is love†while thousands of children are literally starving to death in third world countries and thousands more are living in war torn countries (now reduced to rubble) is truly delusional! |
