atheist quote

context

quality?

Iâ€™m not proud of being an atheist.
Not believing in something thatâ€™s patently absurd
doesnâ€™t make me a genius.

The way I look at life is you get on the carousel with your first conscious thought.
You step off at the instant of death.
You donâ€™t actually get anywhere, after all, itâ€™s a merry-go-round.
Purpose of life: enjoy the ride.

seems to me that prayer is nothing more than trying to strike a deal

I'm an atheist. Personally, I don't care if you believe or not. Truth is indifferent to opinion.

When we were young our parents encouraged us to use our imagination. We had Grimm's fairy tales and Mother Goose nursery rhymes. We had Easter eggs (from the Easter bunny!), the tooth fairy, witches riding high on Halloween, storks to deliver us, Santa to deliver us presents on Christmas etc. etc. Slowly we realized that all were make believe and we relinquished the magical spell cast upon us by leprechauns and elves. All save one, that of god. But a lie is a lie regardless of the comfort derived from perpetuating a belief in it.

at the instant of eternity, man seemed destined for a sole purpose:to increase the overall entropy of the universe.

Ever wonder what the difference is between heaven and hell?
Heaven is when you die, youâ€™re dead.
Hell is when you die, youâ€™re still dead,
but then you develop an itch.

Sadly, in today’s world, science falls prey to religion.

God is a thought whose reality exists solely in the mind of the believer.

b.s. is more easily swallowed than reality, just ask any politician or religious leader.

Jesus saw his shadow whilst hoisted on the cross, which of course means there will be (at least) six more centuries of winter.

You know what separates religion from superstition….yeah, me either.

god's a speed bump on the road to reality

A garment can not distinguish itself from the cloth from which itâ€™s woven. In the celestial tapestry, man is the only non-harmonious thread.

god ain't no use to the dead

to believers, not believing will never make any sense. to those that don't, believing will never.

Moral high ground is the province of the atheist.
Immortality is adjudged to be superior to mortality, else religion wouldn't stand
a (holy) ghost of a chance.
I choose to be an atheist as a LESSER of two evils.
I submit that God is contrary to our nature.
If you concede the point that the only thing we truly succeed at as a species is
the poisoning of the planet and you insist on a supernatural causality as a
pre-condition for our existence, I suggest you reconsider which being we truly serve.
The choice is yours; either admit to being a vassal of the dark Lord or concede
you're merely mortal and dispense with religious pretense once and for all.

man is the only creature capable of destroying all within his means. at this point in time the biosphere is included in the scope.
no other creature can or probably would be as capricious as we. the question of whether or not god exists is irrelevant. god is necessary to forgive us for what we are.

it's hard to revere that which one considers a construct.

whisky'll get ya drunk, god will get ya nothin

An elegant proof of the nonexistence of god is the existence of man
