Science gives you questions, to which you are encouraged to find answers. Religion gives you answers, which you are encouraged NOT to question. |

| Peter S. |
Are you still believing, or are you already thinking? |

Rational arguments don't usually work on religious people. Otherwise, there wouldn't be religious people. |
|
| Hugh Jedake |
An 11-year-old dies because her family were sat around her praying for her to recover. At least her father is going to jail for his stupidity and neglect. Maybe religious people shouldn't be allowed to have kids? |

If atheists happened to be wrong and God really does exist, He may send a message that goes like this:
"Now that is enough, you atheists! Please desist. My followers do not have the vocabulary to debate you. They say the same things over and over. They are my biggest failure."

If America (one nation under God) put a heavy tax on being a confirmed Christian, let's see if it is still one nation under God. |

A virgin birth - man walks on water - a dead man rising having been dead for three days - God's subordinate parting a sea ? Perhaps the "Holy Bible" should be re-named the "Wholly Unreliable." |

Apostasy: Crime against the cult
Bible: Constantine’s collection/rulings
Blasphemy: Crime without any victim
Prayer: Human compromising with the weather

My purpose is is to transform theologians into anthropologists, lovers of God into lovers of man, candidates for the next world into students of this world…I negate the fantastic hypocracy of theology and religion only in order to affirm the true nature of man. |

When the white settlers came to South Africa we had the land and they had the Bible. And the white man said "let us pray" and so we closed our eyes, and when we opened them agian they had the land and we had the Bible. - Archbishop Desmond Tutu |

Atheism is a believe like not collecting stamps is a hobby. |
|
| Yagami from Sweden |
I talk to my Teddy Bear at times, ironically, he does not talk back.
I talk to "God" at times, ironically, he does not talk back.
I think about "God" and my Teddy Bear at times, ironically, they both seem to tell me that I should grow the fuck up. |

The problem is not that people believe in a god. The problem is some of them believe that they have the right to do evil things to their fellow humans in the name of their god. |

I had described myself as an agnostic. However, I have balanced the books and come to my senses. I can now say confidently, unequivocally
and not without pride that I am 100 per cent atheist.

God would have to be much more evil than the Devil, since he created him - and how could any creation of God be anything else than what he intended it to be?

God is the ultimate absent father. |

| James Fox |
If a theist asks you about what happens after Death responde by saying I'll tell you when I Die. |
|

I seize to believe in a god that allows deformities, down syndrome, etc. in innocent children. If there was a "just" god he surely would intervene, but unfortunately there is not one. We are simply imperfect animals in a imperfect world. When we die we will simply be as we were before we were born, unconscious nothingness. |

| Yagami from Sweden |
"Science and Religion is like Intellect and Incredible Stupidity. They don't get along, but we have them both - however you'd most likely want to get rid of one of them." |

Many of the greatest theories accepted now have once gone against the church so why can't what goes against the church now become fact? |

Boy, these theists sure are violent towards atheists like us.
So that's what they teach at the church. No wonder I'm unlike them. |

On his education by the Catholic church.
Priest - "Jesus died on a cross for your sins"
"When was that?"
"2000 years ago"
"Don't blame me I'm only 4, for heavens sake" |

Believers say atheists are close minded. Im confused.
close-minded: "stubbornly unreceptive to new ideas", it is not a new idea to believe what you have been hearing from everyone since you were born. |

George W Bush claimed God told him to go to Iraq. Looks like the Lord himself is in for the oil aswell.. |

Now we have more than six billion creators with more in the waiting and coming. |

| George Carlin (New York Times, 20 August 1995 ) |
I credit that eight years of grammar school with nourishing me in a direction where I could trust myself and trust my instincts. They gave me the tools to reject my faith. They taught me to question and think for myself and to believe in my instincts to such an extent that I just said, "This is a wonderful fairy tale they have going here, but it’s not for me." |
|

Theists are forever killing in the name of their god. They would have us believe that atheists have killed more than they have. Nobody ever killed in the name of atheism. If Karl Marx, the intellectual founder of Marxism and communism, repudiated atheism as meaningless and no longer needed, how then could atheism be considered the cause of the atrocities committed under communism? |
|
| Gary Bauer (religious‐right FRC) |
We are engaged in a social, political, and cultural war. There’s a lot of talk in America about pluralism. But the bottom line is somebody’s values will prevail. And the winner gets the right to teach our children what to believe. |
|
| Isaac Asimov (Asimov's Guide To The Bible) |
As it happens, Josephus, who mentions John the Baptist, does not mention Jesus. There is, to be sure, a paragraph in his history of the Jews which is devoted to Jesus, but it interrupts the flow of the discourse and seems suspiciously like an afterthought. Scholars generally believe this to have been an insertion by some early Christian editor who, scandalized that Joesphus should talk of the period without mentioning the Messiah, felt the insertion to be a pious act. |

"On a pop quiz, I once instructed my students to describe the difference between a cult and a religion. One student, who obviously had not done the reading, wrote, 'About 300 years.' I think he will go far." |

Imagine encouraging [a child] to participate in such "twisted" rituals and worshiping of tortuous crucifixes and such like this from birth. No wonder we have so many hateful and sadistic people in our society. |
|
| Keith S. Cornish |
Scientific research confirms that humans are a link in the evolutionary life chain. There is no credible evidence for the existence of an immortal supernatural element. Our only life is here and now.
Make it worthy of a moral person. |

I am tired of taking Bronze Age superstition seriously and listening to their pathetic rationalizations as to why the Bible doesn't really mean what it clearly says. We are supposed to take a talking snake at face value, but when it comes to Luke 14:33 they are all excuses and metaphors. It's irritating. |

| Michael Shermer |
Remember always that we are pattern-seeking primates who are especially adept at finding patterns with emotional meaning. |
