|
| Mikhail Bakunin |
The idea of God implies the abdication of human reason and justice; it is the most decisive negation of human liberty and necessarily ends in the enslavement of mankind both in theory and practice. He who desires to worship God must harbor no childish illusions about the matter but bravely renounce his liberty and humanity. |

| Deng Ming-Dao |
It is not acceptable to have a religion where the alternative to faith is punishment — that's how you train dogs, not develop people.

God, who would want to be such a control freak? |

It is an interesting and demonstrable fact, that all children are atheists and were religion not inculcated into their minds, they would remain so. |

| Davo |
Man created god in his own image when he descended from the trees, reached for the stars and found they were out of reach. At that point he decided it was the fruit of a larger beast. |

No human being will ever know the Truth, for even if they happen to say it by chance, they would not even known they had done so. |
|
| Roy Zimmerman (Jerry Falwell's God) |
And it began to rain toads and fire and he brought seven plagues. Jesus would not preach hate, Jesus would not stand in rubble and say I told you so, Jesus would not use an international catastrophe to score points for some narrow misogynistic antis |

| Tiberius C. Costea |
No spiritual nor eternal realm ever enterd the material existence.And no material nor mortal existence shall enter a spiritual and eternal realm.Even if the spiritual fantasy would be indeed true, it's entrance in a material world would cause the annihilation of the two worlds beginning with logical understanding of them.For it is impossible for a world not governed by certain laws to enter a world governed by them.These are to premises that could never co-exist.A god that has different features than those by which it can be recognized in the mortal world has no means to contact this material world.Following the same logical principle no being contained in the material world could contact the non-material realm.because it has no means to do so.These rational principles help all other bright concepts stated buy a multitude of great minds in revealing the farce called blind faith and unquestionable lies of the believers. |

Bilievers are like a caged bird, without the courage to leave it's own cell, even if it's shown the exit.
Their naiveness amuses me. |

Today after church, my 5-year-old son asked me about God, so I answered his questions in full. We talked about God for over 2 hours. At the end of it all, he pondered for a moment, before saying to me, “That’s the stupidest thing I ever heard. You’re Dumb.â€

If God truly made me in his own image, did he really have to pass on these f**king haemorrhoids? |

Religion is a teacher of morality in the same way that television is a parent. |

Do female suicide bombers get to screw 72 male virgins in paradise? Or are the only virgins in heaven female? Maybe the prophet likes to watch some girl-on-girl action! OK, now the fattwa is coming... |

Robert G. Ingersoll |
Is there an intelligent man or woman now in the world who believes in the Garden of Eden story? If you find any man who believes it, strike his forehead and you will hear an echo. Something is for rent. |

God or no God is not important. It's all about what you do as an individual to make this a better place. |

| —al-Ma'arri (973-1057 C.E) |
The world holds two classes of men -- intelligent men without religion, and religious men without intelligence.

All priests say that the bible is not meant to be taken literally.....so how do we know that god is meant to be taken literally? |

| Brennan Manning |
The greatest single cause of atheism in the world today is Christians, who acknowledge Jesus with their lips, then walk out the door, and deny Him by their lifestyle. That is what an unbelieving world simply finds unbelievable. |

Faith is intellectual bankruptcy. Accepting a view on faith is admitting that it cannot be accepted on its own merit. |

I saw a heroin addict practising his own religion the other day. He had a brief moment of ecstasy followed by brain damage and a craving for more. |
|
Gregarious |
We don’t need to just tolerate each other; we need to accept each other. We can accept others without necessarily accepting their views and beliefs but respecting their right to hold such beliefs. When those beliefs however are forced upon us by law-makers because of lobbying by religionists, and they start impacting us in negative and harmful ways, we must speak out. “Freedom of Religion†is as important as “Freedom from Religionâ€. We are all free to express that “freedom†in our own way. It is not freedom for everyone if we force our religious views on those who don’t believe them nor accept them. |

The Thinking Atheist |
Assume nothing. Question everything. And start thinking for yourself! |
|
|
Dan Barker |
But purpose is personal. It can’t be right or wrong. It can’t be true or false. It can’t not be about you. It’s how you decide to live your own life. If someone else tells you how to live, you are not free. If you don’t choose your own purpose, you are nothing but a slave. |

I can't believe that Muslims pray 5 times a day, fast a whole month and follow the anti life teachings just to secure a place in heaven to play harp for the sick monster. |

Often, I hear Americans (more specifically on the left, sometimes the right) defend Muslims. Yet I never hear about people defending atheists, unless if that person happens to be an atheist. As an atheist, I can be given the death sentence in at least 13 countries. In so many more, I can be murdered by people with meat cleavers or the like, and the police wouldn't give a damn. I am discriminated against in MANY countries. In the US, I can't serve in Government in 8 states (last I checked). I can lose my children in a divorce custody battle if my ex-partner is religious. I am given less priority for, say, a kidney, as a religious person is. Crimes against atheists are rising at a fast, and ghastly, rate. People can openly discriminate against atheists. I can lose my job just for telling people that I am an atheist. The list goes on.
And yet people have the audacity to tell me that I'm "privileged"? That I have it better? I'm sorry, but I'm not the one who kills others simply for their religious beliefs. In Muslim-dominated countries, I have the least rights. I am very likely to get killed, murdered, or other, just for being atheist.
I am NOT privileged. Look for privilege before you wrongly assign it. |

Faith is duping and deceiving oneself into believing something that is contrary to evidence, reason, or fact. |

Historical inaccuracies are common in the Bible, but the tall tale about why they went to Bethlehem is enough to even make a Texan blush. |

Men of faith, why stand mouths agape gazing into the sky? Jesus, who you believe was taken from you into heaven, was not real. You have been deceived, for like all other gods and sons of gods, your God is a myth. |
|

Education is the genesis of understanding, but both fools and those of faith fear knowledge, ignore true, shun the wise and despise reason, for any one of these will shatter their cherished dreams and expose their grand delusions.

One who chooses to reject science with a closed mind, resigns oneself to ignorance and ridicule. One who accepts science with an open mind, will not only share the exhilaration of discovery, but inherit a universe to explore. |

The South African Constitutional Law That People Have The Right To Believe What They Want Is Misleading. People Must Believe What Is True Not What They Want. |

Islam has got indoctrination down to a fine art. It would appear to be the only admirable thing about that religion. |

Where there is the expectation of privilege, equality will be seen as persecution. Thus, the evangelicals cry persecution any time they are barred from forcing their views on others, because no group expects cultural privilege like American evangelicals. |
