Benjamin Franklin |
False religion does not deserve your money, and true religion should not need your money. |

Denying scientific fact as a matter of faith transforms it to a religious matter. It follows then, that Science has been elevated by the religious zealots to the Heavenly plane where it is free to compete on an equal footing with God. - Ralph Metusi |

Um, Genesis says God look a nap (just like an over-worked factory worker) on the 7th day after he'd done all that planet-building. Was the writer of that book not familiar with the exact meaning of the term 'omnipotent'? |

Just remember that this holiday season Christians will be going out of their way to promote charities that serve impoverished populations. While on the surface providing food or perhaps helping dig wells to provide fresh water to these populations are good things, the real goal of these "good Christians" is to indoctrinate vulnerable people into their bigoted way of thinking. That's why I only give to charities that have no religious affiliation. |

The unicorn is mentioned nine times in the bible, theists try to get around this by saying, when the bible was translated from Hebrew to English it was translated wrong. Out of 783,137 words in the bible, unicorn was the only one that was translated wrong. Of course it was. |

Easter, when adults pass out chocolate crosses (representing an ancient Roman torture device) to children as fun, holiday treats. I guess mixing them in with chocolate eggs, bunnies, and jelly beans makes everything just peachy! |

If people judged their own belief systems by the same standards they apply to other people's, there would be far fewer theists, and the world would be a better place for it. |

The Bible doesn't seem to acknowledge most places on planet Earth. It's almost as if the desert dwelling sky-worshipers that wrote it knew very little about our planet.
