Baron von Knifty |
I’ll give faith a fighting chance the day it can defend itself without putting a horseshoe in the glove. |
|
Anthony W. Allsop (Genesis) (admin) |
Faith WILL move mountains. As long as there are enough of you with the proper equipment and a willingness to put your backs into it. |
|
|
Richard Jeni |
You're basically killing each other to see who's got the better imaginary friend. |
|
|
Dr. Idel Dreimer |
Fond faith thrives best in rich deceptive soil --
Where knaves sow dreams that witless fools embroil.
(With a nod to Alexander Pope) |

The skeptic does not mean he who doubts, but he who investigates or researches, as opposed to he who asserts and thinks that he has found. - Miguel de Unamuno

In religion we believe only what we do not understand, except in the instance of an intelligible doctrine that contradicts an incomprehensible one. In that case we believe the former as a part of the latter. Ambrose Bierce |

If the clever faith pushers hadn't realized how much money was to be made in the god business it would have died a long time ago. |
|
|
Sabir Ayaz |
I can't help it but to say how unintelligent we as a species are; every time I hear the word INTELLIGENT being associated with human beings I quickly think of religion, prophets, gods, miracles, ghosts, angels, holy wars, etc and only one thought comes to my mind and that is... How hopelessly hypocritical and an unaware form of life we are. |

Anthony W. Allsop (Genesis) (admin) |
Christians should take note that NO atheists were involved in the crucifixion of their "son of god".
To have done so would have been hypercritical. |
|
|
Dr. Idel Dreimer |
While it may not be appropriate in every venue, and on every occasion, mockery is the guardian of reason, the enemy of pretension, and the mirror to folly. No belief, no passion, no commitment should be considered immune from the acerbic test of ridicule. |

An enlightened trust in the sovereignty of human reason can be every bit as magical as the exploits of Merlin, and a faith in our capacity for limitless self-improvement just as much a wide-eyed superstition as a faith in leprechauns. ― Terry Eagleton |
|
|
Enoch Author (admin) |
Faith taints or at worst removes our curiosity about the world, what we should value, and what type of life we should lead. Faith replaces wonder with epistemological arrogance disguised as false humility. Faith immutably alters the starting conditions for inquiry by uprooting a hunger to know and sowing a warrantless confidence.
― Peter Boghossian,

“CALVIN:
This whole Santa Claus thing just doesn't make sense. Why all the secrecy? Why all the mystery?
If the guy exists why doesn't he ever show himself and prove it?
And if he doesn't exist what's the meaning of all this?
HOBBES:
I dunno. Isn't this a religious holiday?
CALVIN:
Yeah, but actually, I've got the same questions about God.â€
― Bill Watterson |

I say killing Christians and Muslims is a win win situation. They go to heaven, their 32 or 72 or 100 virgins, and us reasonable people can continue to live our lives without the threat of some nutcase knocking on our door early in the morning to tell us the "good news."
However, if we wait around long enough, I'm sure the Christians and Muslims will simply kill each other, and religion itself will disappear in a couple generations.
Until then, happy Hanukkah. |

I've been accused of HATING theists. I don't HATE theists, never have. I'm just puzzled as to WHY they're theist. |

The truth doesn't give a Fuck what your opinion is. |

I spotted this in a comment on a friend's post:
"I hated when you told me God is just my perception of reality because if that's the case 2+2=7 and there is nothing you can say to prove me wrong since it's my reality."
My response:
A claim that 2+2=7 CAN be enforced and eventually accepted as TRUTH, simply by threatening to behead anyone who disagrees. |

Theists have been employing ridicule as a weapon against unbelievers since the invention of gods. It's now being turned aplenty against them. They should be happy we atheists aren't chopping heads off dissenters. |
|
|
Anthony W. Allsop (Genesis) (admin) |
A theist: Of course, science has failed to disprove the existence of God. He just won't be disproven in the lab.
Atheist: Gods are imagined. The proof of that lies in the fact that there is not one iota of evidence that they exist in ANY dimension. |

God is indeed a shining example to all, to all who commit bigoted atrocities that is. |

Religions are not based on truths or events, they are based on, rather, which group of people can come up with the best fathomed, and most convincing lies. |

If people are inept to playing Chinese whispers, how accurate is the bible supposed to be? |

Travis Culliton - "Why I love my Prozac" |
My lack of belief is not disrespectful to their god; because I can’t respect what I don’t believe exists. |
|

Maurice Branzanti |
I guess I'm a creationist after all, I do believe that man created god in its own image. |

rather than calling the earliest religions, which embraced such an open acceptance of all human sexuality, 'fertility cults,' we might consider the religions of today as strange in that they seem to associate shame and even sin with the very process of conceiving new human life. Perhaps centuries from now scholars and historians will be classifying them as 'sterility cults. - Merlin Stone, When God Was a Woman

You would think a contest between a few bronze age scribes and the cumulative knowledge of the human race would be more of a blowout. |

For years we have condemned brain washing, but what about religions doing the same thing. |

Religious doctrines … are all illusions, they do not admit of proof, and no one can be compelled to consider them as true or to believe in them. -- Sigmund Freud. |

I still want to know why there are many religious TV channels but none for us atheists. |

Math . . . music .. . starry nights . . . These are secular ways of achieving transcendence, of feeling lifted into a grand perspective. It’s a sense of being awed by existence that almost obliterates the self. Religious people think of it as an essentially religious experience but it’s not. It’s an essentially human experience. – Rebecca Newberger Goldstein, philosopher and novelist |

I do not want chemistry to degenerate into a religion; I do not want the chemist to believe in the existence of atoms as the Christian believes in the existence of Christ in the communion wafer. ― Marcellin Berthelot |

It took less than an hour to make the atoms, a few hundred million years to make the stars and planets, but five billion years to make man! ― George Gamow |

In the beginning there was nothing.
13.8 billion years later there was everything.
And then MAN came along as the king of the primates.
And finally, gods were created. |

There's a thousand compelling reasons to believe in God, but evidence fortunately isn't one of them. |

People act more rationally choosing products to consume than ideas to believe [but not a hell of a lot more]. |

Sometimes I even believe that God exists and he made ​​a wonderful thing ... the mind of an atheist .

Religion gives me a headache. |

Kevin Cavallaro |
For an all knowing being the Bible is collection of pathetic writings. If god knows EVERYTHING then the bible would be completely accurate and have information about science that would surpass what we know today. This statement alone should debunk any ancient myth book that exist. |
