At the core of all well-founded belief, lies belief that is unfounded
-Wittgenstein |

Baron von Knifty |
America is not a christian nation. It is a nation enforced by societal laws. These laws allow for science, free speech, and freedom from religion. They do not allow for slavery, witch hunts, holy wars, the murder of gays, atheists, impudent children, or those who work on a Sunday.

A big reason religion exists is to poorly mask death with a fantasy that is suppose to combat the fear associated with death. The fantiseis don't work unless you ignore reality, but infact a realistic view of death is way more pleasant than the fantasy. |

As a loving, caring xian, you are supposed to forgive Atheism. Turn the other cheek. Instead, you call us baby eaters and threaten us with an eternal hell. Ask yourself, would you ever had thought to spew out all that hate if someone hadn’t brainwashed you to say it?

The scripture says. If thine eye offends then pluck it out, if thine hand offends then cut it off. You never see any one eyed one handed priests walking about they obviously don't practice what they preach. |

Natural disasters are short lived but can be very destructive to life. Religions are man made disasters which have been destuctive to humankind for thousands of years with no signs of abating. |

Religion is a mental adaptation homo sapiens evolved to handle uncertainties in life and the fear of non existence after death. It forged cooperation, social ties beyond blood relatives in a time where life was short, brutish and survival was subject to nature and chance. We still hadn't discovered electricity, powered flight, modern medicine. Do we trust the thinking of such primitive men when we think our own parents are old fashioned and out of touch with modern thinking and technology. The answers of the future will not always come from the past. |

It is means to do nothing and think you are helping yourself or others. |

Any God that lets his creation run so rampant, be so voilent, hateful, and bigoted, especially by his own followers, is a pitiful God at best. |

If you believe that praying will feed starving children, then why hasn’t it? Why are children still starving?

It is time that we admitted that faith is nothing more than the license religious people give one another to keep believing when reasons fail |

The writings of bible and the koran have done more to brutalize and corrupt mankind than all the hate literature and hate speech combined since the dawn of civilization... |
|
Christopher Hitchens |
“We keep on being told that religion, whatever its imperfections, at least instills morality. On every side, there is conclusive evidence that the contrary is the case and that faith causes people to be more mean, more selfish, and perhaps above all, more stupid.”
|

| Baron von Knifty |
Science calls things they don’t understand a mystery, religion flat out calls it a god. The difference is that science admits they don’t know; religion would never be that honest. |

you do good things because your imaginary friend tells you to?
I do good things because I'm a good person!! |
|
Carl Sagan |
How is it that hardly any major religion has looked at science and concluded, 'This is better than we thought! The Universe is much bigger than our prophets said, grander, more subtle, more elegant'? Instead they say, 'No, no, no! My god is a little god, and I want him to stay that way.' A religion, old or new, that stressed the magnificence of the Universe as revealed by modern science might be able to draw forth reserves of reverence and awe hardly tapped by the conventional faiths |

I refuse to believe that humans are the most intelligent life form if most don't know the difference between fairy tales and history books. |

atheist quote |
|
Gregarious |
Faith is duping and deceiving oneself into believing something that is contrary to evidence, reason, or fact. |
|
|
Gregarious |
Faith is belief without evidence; told by one who speaks without knowledge; of things without parallel. |
|
|
Gregarious |
Faith is the purposeful suspension of critical thinking and reasoning. It is nothing to be proud of, admired, respected, or venerated … and it certainly is not above criticism, critique, or reproach. |
|
|
Gregarious |
Faith is an insertion of absolute belief and conviction that is assumed without reason and defended against all sense, logic, reason, and evidence. |
|
|
Gregarious |
Faith is a luxury for those who are able to ignore and disregard what the rest of us must see every day. |
|
|
Gregarious |
The best way to “see†by faith is to shut the eye of reason.
… Benjamin Franklin. |
|
|
Gregarious |
We rely on faith only in the context of claims for which there is no sufficient sensory or logical evidence.
… Sam Harris.
|
|
|
Gregarious |
I believe in evidence. I believe in observation, measurement, intellect, and reasoning, confirmed by independent and objective observers. I'll believe anything, no matter how wild and ridiculous – if there is evidence for it. The wilder and more ridiculous and preposterous a claim is, however, the firmer and more solid the evidence must be.
… Isaac Asimov. |

Gregarious |
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?
|

|
Gregarious |
But I can’t believe it … The older I get, the more solid the wall becomes – it’s like everything that was to be explored has already been. True, factual, and proven things grow truer; and false, unproved, and delusional things eventually fade away … Because we don’t need them … Like we don’t need a god.
… Edgar Cantero (The Supernatural Enhancements).
