If an idiot were to take, say, Harry Potter or Twilight completely seriously, or to say if the tale of Jack and the Beanstalk REALLY happened, we would institutionalize them. But if someone were to claim the Bible was completely true, very few would argue. |

So, this god, Yahweh or Jehovah, revealed himself, not to the civilised Egyptians, Chinese or Indian cultures, but a bunch of nomadic goat herding barbarians. He then urged them to kill, plunder and rape all the people that stood in their way, in effect inventing genocide. He then gave them a land from which they were periodically expelled, taken captive numerous times and eventually almost destroyed by the Romans. After over two thousand years of travelling and being persecuted, he then led them back home to israel, the only country in the Middle East with no oil. And these were his Chosen People! |

Sometimes I stop and think to myself: "Why do I argue with people about religion and atheism. They can believe what they want to, and I can believe what I want to." Then I remember that it is never me who starts the arguments, but those who wish to convert me. |

Whenever I make a new friend who is religious, I always wait until after he's decided I'm a good person to tell him I'm an atheist. How he responds to that information tells me a lot about how good a friend he is going to be. Plus I'll admit, its fun to watch them struggle with the obvious contradiction. |

If wisdom is attained from a lifetimes experiences then how can someone who limits themselves to living in a convent or monastery, reading one book over and over again, be considered wise? |

According a report in my paper today, Scientology Cult founder - L Ron Hubbard - was a con artist, the cult he formed run along the same lines as pyramid selling with his Scientology being nothing more than a scam.
But hang on a minute? Aren't all the other religions scams run on similar lines?
Judaism; Christianity; Catholocism; Islam; Hinduism; Mormanism & etc ALL fall into this category of selling something they haven't got while promising a good return, ripping off most of the profits and giving little or nothing in dividend.
I reckon it's about that ALL religions were fully investigated and made to PROVE their claims and promises.

Bertrand Russell |
"You will find as you look around the world that every single bit of progress in humane feeling, every improvement in the criminal law, every step toward the diminution of war, every step toward better treatment of all races, or every mitigation of slavery, every moral progress that there has been in the world, has been consistently opposed by the organized churches of the world."

As a Latter-Day Atheist (I didn't come to my full senses until middle-age) I see gods as inventions of the overactive human mind being in contemplation of the unknown. The overtly pious are apt to be scared of what the future (or lack of it) holds for them so they are more than willing to grasp at straws, which are in the form of imagined gods and the imagined afterlife. |

Atheist: Damn God! I will find logic.
Theist: Damn logic! I will find god. |

| Robert Green Ingersoll |
The doctrine of eternal punishment is in perfect harmony with the savagery of the men who made the orthodox creeds. It is in harmony with torture, with flaying alive, and with burnings. The men who burned their fellow-men for a moment, believed that God would burn his enemies forever. |
|
| Robert Green Ingersoll |
Christianity has such a contemptible opinion of human nature that it does not believe a man can tell the truth unless frightened by a belief in God. No lower opinion of the human race has ever been expressed. |

This "God" supposedly thinks that its words and will are all important, but 'it' continues to send out uncredible and easily dismissed spokespeople, when 'it' could so simply communicate his existence and wishes to all.

All gods were spawned in the human imagination to give succour to longings and hopes,to allay fears and used by the shrewd to manipulate and control.. |

It is better to not know an answer to a question and hope to one day find that answer than it is to not know an answer to a question and consider some superstitious, evidence-lacking being as a valid explanation. |

Having a Christian threaten me with hell is like having a hippy threaten to punch me in my aura...

Don’t claim your chimera is loving and forgiving: The punishment of eternal hell leaves no room for love or forgiveness. Is this the type of god you want to respect? Really? |

Christians and suicide bombers ( & Tom) go to heaven?
Atheists, sinners, rock musicians, commedians, fornicators, free thinkers and party animals all go to hell?
Heaven soundslike hell to me,
and hell sounds like heaven.
Which reception party would you prefer?
The downside, and there is always a downside, we get the politicians and the lawyers.

Atheists are kind because we believe it's the right thing to do. Others are because a really old book told them to be, otherwise they would be tortured for eternity, though they only lived on Earth for less than 100 years. |
