| Longinus |
"Those who believe in god are no more different to cavemen who invented gods to explain things they didn't quite understand." |
|
| Neil Hurle |
Atheism summed up in two sentences: Life is incredibly rare and we are all very lucky to exist, even for a short time. Shame about all these loonies we have to tolerate who don't like the real world. |
|
| Neil Hurle |
The bible summed up in two sentences: Some invisible guy gave us free will and we used it, which pissed him off. Now kneel down and feel like shit about it or you can go to hell (P.S. he loves you). |

Freedom to practice religion is not a right to inflict it on everyone |
|
| Prof Uri Nassol |
After many years studying the works of the great philosophers, studying theology to the highest level and consulting religious leaders from every major faith I have to say I disagree. Bollocks are a lot more useful than religion. |

If there is a creator behind everything, then who created God? |

Believe if you want. Live a life of restrictions, fear and irrational hatred towards others. dont tell me to do the same |

Why don't religious people just believe in Lord of the Rings? It's much more plausible and Gandalf does some much better magic tricks. Plus, it's much less far-fetched and with the coolest promo movies! |

Theist to atheist: "Life has no meaning if death is the end... I might as well be DEAD!"
Atheist reply: "Death has no meaning because it's the end of life... so you might as well LIVE!" |
|
Navneeth D |
A religion is a belief which leaves no place for knowledge and reasoning. |
|
|
Prof.Uri Nassol |
If god made us, he must have given us hormones... right? So why get the hump with is for being unable to resist urges that HE gave us in the first place? |
|
|
Navneeth D |
God becomes our security, and when the mind is secure it is in decay. |
|
|
Prof.Uri Nassol |
All tribal cultures have their own religions. Just like ours, they're reinforced by drug or trance-induced "visions", in-group identity issues and an inability to understand or accept death, suffering and the workings of natural forces. |

Red Carder |
In the beginning, the universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and widely been regarded as a bad move. |
|
| Baron von Knifty |
When will it sink in with you religious that with all the billions of prayers, wishes, chanting, bead-rubbing and hosannas carried out every day around the world, the horrible stuff is still with us? |
|
| Baron von Knifty |
If it’s so damn easy for the church to find miracles everywhere then why is it so difficult for them to give me viable physical evidence of their supposed god or Jesus?
|
|
| Ashutosh |
There is no reasonable proof or arguement for the existence of god. Even if there is a reasonable proof, manking has no moral obligation to worship him.
-Nihilism |
|
| Sean R |
Religion is the fetid decay of the mind, the delusion of those too lazy or aloof to care about evidence or truth, it is a mind virus that seeks to keep its host blind to the inoculation of reason that would surely kill it. |
|
| Moriarty |
All scientific theories will be superseded. That's what makes them so much more dependable than religious dogma. |
|
| Samuel Clemens (Mark Twain) |
A man is accepted into a church for what he believes and he is turned out for what he knows. |
|
| Unknown |
If you make a claim without evidence, it will be dismissed without evidence. |
|
| Baron von Knifty |
There’s no “Returns” window in the church. You can’t get your contribution back when your prayers aren’t answered. They’ll simply tell you your prayers weren’t answered because you didn’t pray hard enough. And people keep going back! |
|
| John Kaminski |
"A miracle is merely an expression of ignorance when you dont know the true facts." |
|
| Baron von Knifty |
Isn’t it ironic that in the continuing Atheist/Religious war the only side to have tortured and killed is the religious side.
|
|
| Nietzsche |
Here the ways of men part: if you wish to strive for peace of soul and pleasure, then believe; if you wish to be a devotee of truth, then inquire. |
|
Friedrich Nietzsche |
Now that we seek to record all our origin, we have also proven that God is not. Who will now tell us so thet we eill listen.When we have broken the last of the laws of nature when we shouted "freedom,liberty" and held nothing against the el |

Religion is a madhouse, and faith is mental illness. |
|
|
Stache |
The logo for Christianity is a t. The T is a cross and yet SO MANY people got crustified. Jesus was probably a real person, but a lunatic. He told everyone he was the son of god, so does that mean that if I say I'm the son of a mystical beast from a fairly tale, you'd believe me? Over 3 BILLION people would believe me?
(The atheist logo is an atomic sign because atheists are booming!) |

"God isn't real."

Gregarious |
Hey Guys: Try to use proper grammar in your comments. It's embarrassing for Atheists to be seen as unlearned. They'll use it against us. We know that most religionists are uneducated and ignorant about reality. Let's not get into the swamp with them. We are better than that!
One other critique: Try not to personalize your comments but think at a macro level that represents all Atheists. No one really cares about what you think personally. It's "WE" not "I". You're speaking philosophically, attacking religion, on behalf of the entire Atheist community. Thanks.

Christopher Hitchens |
We do not need a person, official, or an organization – especially not a bogus clerical one that claims to “Talk to God†on our behalf – to tell us how to think, what to believe, and how to live our life. To paraphrase the song, ‘Sunshine’ by ‘Jonathan Edwards’: ‘They can’t even run their own lives, I’ll be damned if they’ll run mine’. Sane people choose to NOT live in a ‘celestial North Korea’ where an Orwellian “Big Brother†monitors our every action – even our very thoughts – 24/7! |

Jonathan Rot |
I am an atheist. That does NOT mean that I am immoral; a criminal; cruel; or stupid. It means that I don't believe in God, or any other god. That's all. |
|
|
Acid Krtiana |
You say that I have no morals? At least I don't need an outdated book, an imaginary god, and the threat of reward or punishment to be good. |

Where there are facts and evidence, no one speaks of 'faith'. We do not speak of faith that 2 + 2 = 4, or that the earth is “round†and revolves around the sun, or that evolution is real, or that gravity exists. These are indisputable facts. We only speak of faith when we wish to substitute emotions, hope, feelings, opinions, convictions, fanaticism, dogma, and beliefs for facts, proofs, evidence, and reality.
… Bertrand Russell. |

Gregarious |
I promise you, it doesn’t matter what you believe, how strongly you live your beliefs, or how true your beliefs are, somebody else, somewhere, thinks you are wrong and delusional; somebody else, somewhere, thinks your faith and beliefs are senseless, absurd, illogical and irrational. In fact, there are billions of others who do.
… Dan Pearce. |

The importance of doubt is crucial because if you’re ‘certain’ that you’re right and other people are wrong, you’re not going to be able to hear and receive evidence that contradicts you – because of the power of “confirmation biasâ€. This is the tendency to search for, interpret, favor, and recall information in a way that confirms one's pre-existing and established beliefs or hypotheses. We are designed to protect, defend and “justify†those ideas that we have enshrined into our worldview. That’s why it’s so important to talk about these ideas with kindness and compassion and to understand that even when people deeply disagree with each other, generally it’s not coming from a place of ill will,

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 |
We absolutely must leave room for doubt – or there is no learning and no progress. And a question requires doubt. People search for certainty – but there is no certainty. People are terrified; how can you live and not know? It’s not odd at all. You only think you know, as a matter of fact. And most of your actions are based on incomplete knowledge. And you really don’t know what it is all about, or what the purpose of the world is, or a lot of other things. It is possible to live and not know; we are constantly looking for answers. It is better to live and not know than to live having only an illusion of knowledge.
… Richard Feynman. |

Gregarious |
As difficult as this may be for you to comprehend and accept … Since you have no proof nor evidence to support or validate your own religious beliefs and convictions, ‘You could be wrong about the authenticity, veracity, accuracy or truth, of your own Faith’! Really think about it! |
|
|
Gregarious |
“Faith†is ‘not a reason’ for believing that something is true. Uttering, “I believe because I have faith†only changes the question from, “Why do you believe?†to “Why do you have faith?†The only difference is that you removed ‘evidence, proof, facts, and scientific validation’ from the list of possible answers. |
|
|
Gregarious |
The English word faith is thought to date back to 1200-1250, from the Middle English feith. Faith can best be described as a strong belief in God and the doctrines and teachings of religion – based on spiritual, mystical, magical, paranormal and supernatural convictions, rather than on any scientific proof or evidence. |

An impoverished, foreign occupied, unlearned, superstitious people whose only means of (mis)communication was by word of mouth, delivered the message of Jesus. Which may well have begun as someones failed attempt to pass on a joke among ancient Sephardic Jews. |

What kind of a God accepts the brutal torture and murder of his innocent son as payment =...for anything? |

Gwendolyn Gwynn |
Were you raised by rational atheists, you would know there is no need to numb your mind for a life of despair and pain as you dream of promised, unseen rewards. Science has given us a new world that is simply too amazing, and too beautiful, to continue to ignore. |
|

Gwendolyn Gwynn |
Come now, let us reason together say the wise; though your questions be complex, they shall be reasons for study; though the answers may be unknown today, they shall be known in time. |

Claiming darkness is light,drinking blood, human sacrifice, cannibalism, mutilation of children, animal sacrifice, ritual torture... These are the people who wish to save us all from the sins of eating well, or admiring someone we find attractive.

Gwendolyn Gwynn |
Know that we live in a natural world and that mother nature herself is our creator. Accept with certainty the falsifiability of these things, as with many others which you will find you have been beguiled. |

Gwendolyn Gwynn |
Faith holds the mind prisoner behind bars which are unseen, yet stronger than steel. |

Theists like to indoctrinate children early because once kids develop critical thinking skills, they are much less likely to buy into their bullshit and more likely to leave organized religion altogether. It’s a fear tactic and horrid child abuse. |

The very basis of any religion often depends upon a premise that a god can suspend, or violate the otherwise immutable laws of nature upon special requests (e.g., prayer) or upon some whim of god's will |

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. |

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.†|
