| William Blake ("Songs of Experience") |
The fox condems the trap, not himself. |
|
| LJM |
With good reason, an intelligent man asks questions. To question goes against faith. Never trust a man whom says, "Don't ask." |
|
Senad Dizdarevic |
Religion is a madhouse, and faith is mental illness. |
|
|
Jerry Dees Jr |
If you indoctrinate your children, they will never find what they're not looking for, which is unhealthy for critical thinking; instead, show them how to make good life decisions through example, and don't be afraid to admit your mistakes. |
|
Voltaire |
Think for yourself and let others enjoy the same privilege to do so too. |
|
|
Gregarious |
If you don’t control your own mind and ‘Think for Yourself’ … someone else will do it for you. |

If the Bible is provably false, then the Bible is a lie. On the other hand if the Bible can be proven to be true it then becomes factual, and the existence of God is proven and there is no need for faith. Until we are presented with proof that the Bible is true and factual, we have to see it as a collection of stories, myths, metaphors, allegories, tales, parables, fables, traditions, rituals, beliefs, mores, legends, and folklore – passed down through the generations. |

Why is God not helping us in these hard times, could he be busy peeping at our beautiful girls taking shower or has he become short sighted in that he cannot see the world events clearly? |

ISN'T IT ODD THAT GOD CAN ONLY DO THINGS WE HUMANS CAN DO OURSELVES WITHOUT PRAYING? THINGS LIKE GETTING JOBS, BECOMING RICH, AND CURING DISEASES WE CAN CURE OURSELVES LIKE FLU, TB, SMALLPOX, MALARIA, HOOKWORM ETC... BUT WHEN IT COMES TO THINGS WE HUMANS CAN'T STOP OR CURE LIKE TSUNAMIS & HURRICANES TAKING MILLIONS OF INNOCENT LIVES, DISEASES LIKE AIDS, DIABETES, ASTHMA, ETC .. GOD CAN'T INTERVENE AND STOP OR CURE THEM WHICH WILL BE GOOD EVIDENCE THAT HE EXISTS, BUT WE DON'T SEE THAT, INSTEAD WE CONTINUE TO LOSE OUR LOVED ONES. This seems to me that humans created this God in their image, character, and capabilities because humans are in love with themselves. |

Faith and beliefs and religious convictions are in reality a cover-up for insecurity, ignorance, hope, fear, and uncertainty:
1. You need faith only for the things you do not know – not for the things you know for sure; for things you want to be true; things for which you try to twist the facts to fit your desired outcome; things for which you only believe or trust or hope or assume are true – mostly based on what others tell you rather than your own objective and unbiased investigation.
2. You need faith for things for which there is no proof nor evidence and that lack scientific authentication. These are dubious, doubtful, hopeful, ambiguous and uncertain beliefs. More to the point … they are fictional, imaginary, delusional, and harmful beliefs. This category includes supernatural, mystical, paranormal, superstitious, spiritual, mythological, religious, ghostly, fairytale, fabled, magical, divine, psychic, prophetic, fortune-telling, and astrological beliefs.
3. You are secure and certain only in what you know – not pretend to know – the existence of which can be confirmed by scientific verification, proof, and evidence. If not, you need faith to ignore all the prevailing facts and evidence – and still believe otherwise!
… Greg Taylor.

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).

We rely on faith only in the context of claims for which there is no sufficient sensory or logical evidence.

Even as an atheist I have always appreciated the joke about St. Peter showing some newcomers around heaven. At one point they come to a huge totally enclosed wall and one person asks why that is here. “Oh†says Peter, “Heaven is supposed to be a happy place, and those are the (name of ANY religion here) people. They don’t know the rest of us are here, and it would make them miserable to find this out.†|

We should stop lying to our children and thereby break the generational trap of religious addiction, which is being perpetuated by the systematic psychological abuse of children. |

If the bible says humans child birth is painful because a woman listened to a talking snake then why do non-human animals feel pain during birth?

The society doesn't have the right to demand me to believe in religion & caste, just because it has made them mandatory.
Well, I'm not here to choose the best answer. I'm here to choose the right one. |

A co-worker of mine whom I’ve known for over a decade and thinks highly of me recently mentioned that her son was marrying a Catholic. Being of the Baptist faith this bothered her greatly. However, she still said, “It’s better than not believing in God at all!†To this day she has no idea I'm an atheist. |

Egyptian woman on BBC TV today (26/11/17) being interviewed after surviving the latest ISIS massacre in a Mosque there.
Quote (near as dammit): "I was one of those whom God chose to save."
It makes me want to puke and then throw in the towel. |

Dr. Idel Dreimer |
Religion may be reasonably benign when seen as a comforting -- but temporary and occasional -- flirtation with fantasy -- and as an acknowledgment that life has many unanswered questions. It can be quite dangerous as a permanent delusion -- a conclusion that all the questions have been answered. (Observation # 1222) |

I recently heard a televangelist say that we all need to be “obedient and faithful†to our master (god). Makes me wonder… Does the fictional man in the sky consider us all dogs? Seems pretty degrading to me! |

No war has ever been committed in the name of atheism.
Sadly, theists (e.g., Christians, Muslims, Hindus) cannot make this claim.

'Theism' could take the place of 'schizophrenia' in this definition and it would still hold true!
Schizophrenia is a severe and debilitating brain and behavior disorder affecting how one thinks, feels and acts. People with schizophrenia can have trouble distinguishing reality from fantasy, expressing and managing normal emotions and making decisions. |

Definition of religious liberties:
The right to impose your bat-shit crazy beliefs on others and force them to follow them!

What I find immensely amusing is that the freedom people claim to receive from god seems to always involve being his servant! |

When believers tell me of the power of prayer, I respond by asking, "How many prayers, do you suppose, were offered up during the Holocaust?" The usual response to this question, is silence.

I do not believe in any god, because if my life is good then I do not need god. On the other hand, if it is bad then what is the use of god? |

The only time you see religion the most is when everything goes wrong, then when things get better, it's like it never existed. People only lean toward god when they need something to believe in to make themselves feel better. |

Religion is seen by many as the ultimate lifebelt. The trouble is it's full of holes. |

Enoch Author (admin) |
For two millennia they stood still, patiently praying and opposing the disbelievers, and nothing miraculous happened. No new information arose, no new knowledge was added. All the while, humanity, technology and the world sped them by. |

I used to believe in God and then I began asking questions about life the Bible couldn’t answer. What a way to spend your tenth birthday. |

It is an infantile superstition of the human spirit that virginity would be thought a virtue and not the barrier that separates ignorance from knowledge.― Voltaire |

There are only two professions on this planet that will consistently mislead you, and yet, you will still go back to them for advice and information. Weathermen and the priesthood. |

I did not exist for 13.7 billion years. In that huge timespan I never felt any ill effects and was safe from the mischief of the Gods. I now find that in reality and for a short while 'I EXIST' and I am really feeling the effects of my very brief moments of life. Some day soon, I will again no longer exist and will spend another 13.7 billion years without any ill effects and free from the mischief of the Gods.
And......., I won't mind one bit.
Amen. Jed King. 2016. |

No need for prayers to any god. Just pray to a dog turd and you'll find the results are EXACTLY the same. |

If an advanced being created all of humanity and wanted people to live in a specific way according to its directive, it certainly would be as clear and concise as possible with absolutely NO interpretation required. Period. |
