If God were a mortal he'd go to Hell for child abuse, greed, and mass-murder, not to mention all the crimes committed in His name. |
|
| Karl marx |
Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, and the soul of soulless conditions. It is the opium of the people |

The bible and the koran are filled with absurdities,contadictions,superstitions,racism,mind numbing violence,abuse of women, etc etc...pretty much what you would expect from a male dominated bronze age mentality..no self respecting scholar can give its claims serious attention. |

| Baron von Knifty |
To allow a priest to interpret the bible for you is to believe that your very own thoughts, your own logic and intellect, are substandard. Shame on you.

Odd, isn't it. The world's youngest mountain range - at a little less than 30 million years - is The Himalayas.
That means that even though they are regarded as being young mountains, they were there approximately 29,000,000 years before Man took his first tentative steps and almost 30 million years before the Biblical account of creation would have us be. |

Hatred of others is the last gasp of a fading religion.

Theist: Have you accepted Jesus as your lord and savior?
Atheist: No...have you accepted Apollo as your lord and savior?
Two silly myths...no difference. Christians still don't get it. |

| Lawson McAdam Bell |
A hard working, brilliant, open minded, lovable person lives their life without violence and possesses absolute tranquility. This person raises their children excelently, and with ease. If this person does not believe in god, the bible states that they will be denied from heaven and will burn in hell. Wasn't he supposed to be the great spirit that loves and protects everyone? Burning in hell for not believing in something doesn't sound so good. |
|
| Van Stootbek |
The bible is a strange and confusing mix of childish fables,unspeakable violence and savagery,a whole heap of lies and alot of contradictions....definately not to be taken seriously by civilised peoples... |

It is outrageous that we must battle fantasy to save reality. |

Without religion every Friday is good. |

Richard Dawkins |
Don't fall for the convention that we're all too polite to talk about religion. Religion is not off the table. Religion is not off limits. Religion makes specific claims about the universe which need to be substantiated and need to be challenged and, if necessary, need to be ridiculed with contempt.
I want to end now on what my colleagues from the Richard Dawkins Foundation said. I am an outsider but we have been well-staffed in America and we're going to spread the word along with our colleagues in other organizations throughout the length and breadth of this land. This land which is the fountainhead, the birthplace of secularism in the world, as I said before. Don't let that tradition down. Thank you very much. |

Religion is like a popsickle: it's coated in sugar, but once you examine it under a light, all that remains is a stick for hitting people and a dumb joke. |

The fact is that there is absolutely no such thing as the "word of god". No gods throughout human history have ever operated a public press, radio station, television network or web site. The "word of god" has always come out of the mouths of humans claiming to speak for the gods. Men, with their personal agendas, thus have always put the words in gods' mouths. I might trust a god - but I certainly don't trust a man. |

"Death means nothing to us
Since when we are,
Death has not come,
And when Death has come,
We are not" |

If you you are being chased by a tiger, and its getting closer and closer.And you know death awaits you. Are you going to stop, pull a weapon and fight for life. Or are you going to kneel and pray for god to save you as the tiger rips you to shreds. |

there are so many people who follow countless religions believe solely their beliefs are right, and all the others are wrong. I laugh at how Ignorant Christians make fun of other religions, While their own religion is even more absurd. |

Flockers claimed they are saved. Saved from what? Truth, reason, free-thinking, common sense, and reality? That’s not being saved, that’s being denied. |
|
| Baron von Knifty |
If you were near someone who said that slavery, incest, rape, and murder were perfectly acceptable, wouldn’t you want to get away from that person, fast? Then why do people continue to respect a bible that justifies those very things, and a man-made god that wrote it?

Trying "to better yourself" by being more religious doesn't automatically make you a better person. Just look at the Westboro Baptist Crazies and the 9/11 terrorists. |

Charles Darwin showed balls in turning away from the church when it had dawned on him that the biblical version of creation was a load bollocks and thus the Old Testament fell apart at Genesis. |
|
| Kalvis Troska |
Some say God created man in his own image, I think it was the other way round |
|
| Deanna Burke |
Religion from my point of view : a bunch of third graders fighting over which one of their imaginary friends is the only real one. |

Theists often ask me how I can be so ungrateful and disrespectful as to turn my back on my creator. On the contrary; I pay homage to them on a regular basis. Thanks, Mom and Dad. |

I treated those leaks in religion like I treated leaks in my ancient out-of-date central heating system.
I replaced the whole system with a new one that was up-to-date, more economical and easier to get on with. |

That Garden of Eden snake had begun his career in oil but then moved into selling religion 'cos it was more profitable. |

If given the chance, I am absolutely certain that many religious groups would have no problem taking away the civil rights of individuals that took decades or even centuries to obtain and immediately insert their cult values in place of them. Through their warped perspective, they would dub this “religious freedomâ€. |

Recent quote read by a Catholic priest on television:
“There are but two roads, one that leads to Rome and one that leads to atheism.â€
What I heard:
“There are but two roads, one that leads to a misogynistic, homophobic cult whose leaders reside in a golden fortress and one that leads to reality and rational thinking.â€

Dr. Idel Dreimer |
The God hypothesis -- a patriarchal and very human alpha male as Creator-in-Chief -- seems weak -- but perhaps understandable among primitive tribes with few facts and active imaginations. When the theory is embellished and developed by religions -- which suggest that God -- managing his vast universe -- or universes -- has nothing better to do than anguish about the affairs of mankind -- and that certain special, chosen human beings know exactly what he is thinking -- "absurdity" and "idiocy" are words insufficient to the descriptive challenge. (Observation #1756) |

Very few things make me angrier than Christian relief organizations taking advantage of people in need by feeding them a bowl of protein slop while simultaneously shoving Jesus down their throats. Indoctrinating those who are easy prey is what they do best and is exactly how they keep their malignant cult alive. |

A priest is driving a nun back to the nunnery, he stops at traffic lights and his hand touches the nun's thigh, the nun says "Father remember luke 14:10". The priest is embarrassed and removes his hand when he reaches his church he checks psalm 14:10 and it says. Friend, go up higher. Then you will have glory. |

The Catholic Church can be thought of as a round colossal well-polished turd that's bright and shiny to look at and will attract millions of people to admire and adore, but ultimately it's still only shit. |

I rarely quote teenagers for their wisdom, but…
Recently I heard a 14-year boy respond to a Christian praise celebration by saying, “Religion is crazy and stupid.†All I could do was smile. Maybe there is some hope for our youth!
