Anthony W. Allsop (Genesis) (admin) |
For every book devoted to fictitious gods, there are many thousands devoted to factual sciences. |

I am an atheist, not a Satanist.
I believe in god as much as I believe in unicorns. I don't hate your god; I don't believe he exists. I will not buy into your scheme; I have my own mind. I don't need faith in the lord because I know where I need to put my faith: the scientific method. You can feel free to wish your way through life to get by and live a great life because it's easy. I will fight my way through to do the right thing and make life better for everyone else. What I really am trying to say is, believe in what you believe. As long as you're good to me, I'm good to you. Your book will not teach me how to be moral because my morality doesn't come from a book. Dream and pray all you want, I will not believe your crap. |

Talking to Christians is like praying. There is no one on the other end to receive what you say. |

So, I should ask for forgiveness for my sins, which were originally created because a woman made out of one rib bone ate a magical fruit from a magical tree, because a magical talking snake told her to? The logic here is astonishing. |

"The human ego is at the same time one of the most powerful and fragile things in all of existence. It created a god and religion out of it's own image to feed itself. Then, when it has facts, dissent and mockery thrown at it, it falls apart causing inquisitions, crusades and death in it's wake."
-- Michael McHenry |

Religion provides a vital service to mankind--it keeps people from thinking and thereby getting into worse trouble.
Ideology requires no deliberation. |

Fatima |
When we are children, our parents would rush to judgment if we had an imaginary friend. We would go through therapy to get the help we need for believing in someone imaginary, talking to someone imaginary, and putting so much hope into someone imaginary. What makes it any better if we are older and still believing in some one imaginary? Why don't we need a therapist? How could some one live in the sky? |

If their truly was such a thing as God I would not need a bible or anyone to explain his power or greatness it would be evident just like the Sun |

Religions come and go, but reason will march on its wavering, precarious, on-again/off-again course to the end of human history. |

Ayn Rand |
Ask youself whether the dream of heaven and greatness should be waiting for us in our graves--or whether it should be ours here and now and on this earth. |

The only difference between an Atheist and A theist is the space.
No, not THAT space! I mean the space between their ears!

God helps those who help themselves, however; If one is helping himself, why does he need God? |

I wonder how many pedophile priests, monks and nuns there have been through the centuries, since the formation of that decadent parasitic organization they call the catholic church, that have been called saints? |

Roger Phillips |
According to Christianity, the only way GOD could satisfy his own system of justice was to torture and crucify HIMSELF !!! Are you serious??!!!!!! This is utterly ludicrous. If you are going to fabricate a mythology you could at least come up with something that has at least a small shred of credibility. |

People aren't truly religious, they just think they need a backup plan. |

Violent, irrational, intolerant, allied to racism and tribalism and bigotry, invested in ignorance and hostile to free inquiry, contemptuous of women and coercive toward children: organized religion ought to have a great deal on its conscience.

There are over 200 cancers in the world that effect humans, according to the W.H.O there are over 12,400 distinguishable disease categories in the world. Over 600.000 deaths from typhoid fever every year and that's just the tip of the iceberg. And the lord god made them all, praise and worship to thee on high. |

When asked merely if they accept evolution, 45 percent of Americans said yes. The figure is 70 percent in China. When the movie Jurassic Park was shown in Israel, it was condemned by some Orthodox rabbis because it accepted evolution and because it taught that dinosaurs lived a hundred million years ago when as is plainly stated at every Rosh Hashanah and every Jewish wedding ceremony, the Universe is less than 6,000 years old.

If some christians can dismiss certain aspects of the bible ideals because they now realize they do not fit into todays society or evidence proven from science.....then isn't it time to just dismiss the bible in its entirety? |

What a rotten trick for a god to give us intelligence to understand our world and then threaten us with damnation if we dare to use it. |

The followers of the Catholic religion are told that they are part of a flock of sheep, and if one of the flock leaves the fold the Catholic church maintains that they haven't left but merely strayed from the path. A religion where the followers are thought of and treated like dumb animals. |

Faith is a mental defect promoted as a virtue by those with an agenda to suppress critical thinking... |

Before we begin any discussion of religion, I need to know your belief. Are you the one with the magic underwear, the sect that wants to kill infidels, the genital mutilation group, or the cult with a talking snake and zombies walking around?

How Stupid Can Religion Get?:
It seems god’s top agenda is to help people catch footballs and put its face on toast rather than heal the sick and feed the starving.

Morality is to do what is right, no matter what is said. Religion is to do what is written, no matter if is right or wrong. |

I often wonder how many people out there are actually atheists, but pretend to be part of some religious group because they fear losing friends, family, job, or possibly even their life if they were to speak the truth. My bet is that the number of them is staggering.

If you divide the age of the universe, around 13.7 billion, by the age of the human race dating from when our puny ancestors first descended from the trees and began walking upright, around 3 million, you get the number .00002. This is the percentage of the time the human story has occupied in the history of the universe. The Christian era occupies a tiny fraction of that small number. It has all played out on an insignificant speck of dust in an unimaginably vast universe. And yet, apologists persist in trying to glean their morality from myths dating from the infancy of human civilization. Religion tries to make humanity out to be more than it is, and in the process leaves humanity being less than it can be. |

Religious organisations that don’t pay a euro in taxes should have absolutely no say in government policies and most definitely not receive any funding from a government. Yet they do on both accounts. |

The ten commandments were plagiarized by Christians from the ancient Egyptian books of the dead. The Christian twelve disciples were plagiarized from the ancient greeks twelve Olympians. The Christian depiction of satan was plagiarized from the ancient Greek god Pan whom they demonized. |

EA Miller |
If all religion wasn’t bullshit, there would be no need to indoctrinate innocent children or other vulnerable people (e.g., recovering addicts, the impoverished, the traumatized) because actual evidence would speak for itself. But alas, there is no real evidence for any religious claim. There never has been. |
|

EA Miller |
It’s so sad to see religion turn a strong, independent person into a whiny individual dependent on the approval of invisible non-existent gods. |

If a person is mentally ill with known auditory hallucinations and claims to hear god, I can cut them some slack. However, anyone else who makes this same claim is a f-ing liar. |
