Sheep are considered among the stupidest of farm-living creatures, herded by snapping dogs, only to have their fur sheared for market or even killed for their meat. It is by no small coincidence that Priests call the people who listen to them "their flock". |

| Sam Harris |
"George Bush says he speaks to god every day, and Christians love him for it. If George Bush said he spoke to god through his hair dryer, they would think he was mad. I fail to see how the addition of a hair dryer makes it any more absurd." |
|
| Arne Hyman |
You can pray all you want for god to move a mountain but until you bring a shovel and do all the work, it'll never happen. All prayers are unanswered. |

Godfrey Zoan |
Our species will never evolve beyond stupidity until the last holy book is burned, the last priest gets a real job and the last church is pulled down. |
|
| Sam Harris |
The President of the United States has claimed, on more than one occasion, to be in dialogue with God. Now, if he said that he was talking to God through his hairdryer, this would precipitate a national emergency. I fail to see how the addition of a hairdryer makes the claim more ludicrous or more offensive. -- from his book, The End of Faith: Religion, Terror, and the Future of Reason |

There are a few different types of nun, those that prefer to use a condom, those that use the contraceptive pill, those that use the morning after pill, those that prefer the withdrawal method, those that prefer the rhythm method, and those that go the whole nine months culminating in a virgin birth. |

Religions are called faiths collectively because they believe something in absence of evidence - That's what it is! That's why it's called faith, otherwise, we'd call all religions evidence. But we don't for exactly that reason. Niel DeGrasse Tyson. |

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 don’t actually get anywhere, after all, it’s a merry-go-round.
Purpose of life: enjoy the ride. |

Ninety-nine percent of all the species that ever existed are extinct. The entirety of the human experience constitutes less than an eye-blink on the time scale of the universe, and the Christian era a tiny fraction of that small number. We celebrate ourselves at our peril. |

On “Joni Table Talkâ€, a Christian TV show, one of the guests on the show stated that she was on the beach praying for sand dollars and found 8 of them. Odd how praying to the same god doesn’t prevent children from dying in cancer wards or people from starving to death around the world. |

The Catholic Church has closed the holy healing waters of Lourdes due to the covid 19 virus. The irony is lost on them. |

The Promises Made By Priests And Pastors Are Altogether Meaningless.
Ergo: I'd far rather rely on the sound promise of a new bicycle for Christmas than the empty promise of an 'Aston Martin Vantage' made by a man of the cloth. |

Native Americans thrived without the God of the Bible for thousands of years as they respected the people and nature around them. Their population was only decimated when Europeans brought disease, greed, violence, and of course, Christianity. |

Creationism is not science and displaying it as such in public school’s textbooks is child abuse, plain and simple. |

A "perfect" being (insert imaginary god of your choice here) wouldn't constantly require such petty things as needing its ego constantly stoked. Sounds like the quality of a very insecure human being! |

Religion is such a boon! When you think you know the mind of God, you can put your own at rest. Then it can -- and often does -- remain happily inactive for a lifetime! (Observation #1377) |

Why is it that religious products which theists promise will improve your life (e.g., books, videos, jewelry) don't come with a "100% satisfaction or your money back" guarantee? Food for thought. |

Problems with the Noah’s Ark claim…
Kangaroos, koalas, and platypuses magically appearing in Australia from Mount Arafat in Turkey without a trace of physical evidence from their journey is quite a conundrum for the Christian apologist.

There are homophobic atheists in the world, but they certainly don't have a holy book which condemns a person's sexuality. That's the big difference. Atheists, on the whole, are much more acceptable of people’s life-style choices than religious people are. |

Really? There’s no mention of DNA, atomic structure, or even the science behind making food and water safer to eat and drink. But ah it does give the cause of disease (demons) and warns how imposing iron chariots can be!
