The point of religion is not god; the point is social cohesion. Religions evolved in every surviving culture because those that didn't develop a religion were destroyed by the others. Religion makes it easier to justify the slaughter our neighbors an |

If religion offered actual advanced wisdom, true empathy, embracement of diversity, and was beneficial to all human beings, it would not require any type of indoctrination or apologetics to be universally accepted. |

The tragic, massive-scale violence in and around the Gaza Strip is truly heartbreaking, has world-wide implications, and is made possible by barbaric ancient religious beliefs. |

If you ever desire to take the "intellect" out of an intellectual conversation, just add religion. It's as simple as that! |

Idel Dreimer |
There is a unanimity among religions: "God" made us too stupid to observe, reflect, and reach our own conclusions. In despair, we must subsume our intellects in "faith" and do what we are told. "Cui bono?" suggests the truth: religions have been the foundation stones of tribal loyalty-- the cautionary obelisks ensuring mindless groupthink and obsequious obedience -- not to God -- but to the temporal Caesars, the wielders of practical power. (Observation #2073)

Beware of Pope's with inviting smiles and the appearance of a congenial personality. If he wasn't the same kind of monster Pope's have always been, he would have never been chosen. |

Raze those useless churches, mosques and temples and use the materials to build shelters, beds and dining halls for the needy. God dammit, practice what you preach!
|
|
| St. Augustine |
Often a non-Christian knows something about the earth, the heavens, and the other parts of the world, about the motions and orbits of the stars and even their sizes and distances, ...and this knowledge he holds with certainty from reason and experience. It is thus offensive and disgraceful for an unbeliever to hear a Christian talk nonsense about such things, claiming that what he is saying is based in Scripture. We should do all that we can to avoid such an embarrassing situation, which people see as ignorance in the Christian and laugh to scorn. |

I’m not on the side of any religion. All religions are dangerous. They just have fluctuating, various degrees of harm that they inflict on humanity at any given time in history. |

Christians you were not born with an original sin, you don't have a soul, you don't have a guardian angel, and you don't have saints because they don't exist either. |

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! |

“Freedom of religion” is an entirely defensible concept. You can’t stop people from believing in unicorns, centaurs, God, or the tooth fairy. On the other hand, the desire of government employees to wear religious symbols on the job should carry no greater weight than their desire to proclaim other private enthusiasms – for a political party, a sports team, or a brand of soap.
Indeed, given the fact that every religion claims a unique moral superiority – leading to the historically deadly intensity of religious disputes -- no secular government should appear to favour private superstition over public reason, or to betray the simple prudence of common sense. (Observation #2072) |

Behind every dictator, there is always a religion lurking close by. Sticking their crosses where they don't belong. |

"The fear of the Lord prolongs life. Fearing God is an awesome thing."

If fewer children are indoctrinated into a religion and allowed to think and choose their own path, there would be far less religious people. This is why theists start brainwashing their children at the earliest possible age. |
|
Sam Harris |
The core of science is not controlled experience or mathematical modelling; it is intellectual honesty. It is time we acknowledged a basic feature of human discourse: when considering the truth of a proposition, one is either engaged in an honest appraisal of the evidence and logical arguments, or one isn't. Religion is the one area of our lives where people imagine that some other standard of intellectual integrity applies. |

Religion applauds delusion and renames it 'faith'. |

Science is a rigorous systematic endeavor that builds and organizes knowledge in the form of testable explanations and predictions about the world. In theology there is only an opinion. Bertrand Russell. |

About the gods I have no means of knowing either that they exist or that do not exist or what they are to look like. Many things prevent my knowing. Amongst others, the fact that they have never been seen. Protagoras . |

WTF Bible verses...As for the daughter of any priest, if she dishonors herself by becoming a whore, she dishonors her father. She shall be burned to death. Leviticus 23.20

Since priests and pastors generally do not possess advanced degrees or any clinical training in the social sciences whatsoever, they should never be masquerading as social workers or psychologists. Yet they often do just that. Religion is poison. |

A single decent human being is far better than any of the thousands of gods ever concocted by mankind.

Idel Dreimer |
And on the eighth day, God sat back to watch the unfolding. And he saw the lion crush the gazelle, the python swallow the child, the parasitoid larva relentlessly consuming its host, the spider enjoying her cannibalistic meal. He saw the Black Death, and the mortal consequences of viral success. And reflecting on the marvels he had wrought, God smiled, for he knew that they must be good. (Observation #2105) |

No theologians were consulted in the search for the Higgs Boson, or in the development of any life saving medicine. Science seeks the truth. Theologians play endless mind games. |

Religion: Where facts, science, and critical thinking are nonexistent and ancient fables are manipulated to serve very specific populations. |

The "have faith" answer skirts accountability and providing evidence of any kind to back up claims. Since this is the very cornerstone of every major religion, it's no wonder that corruption runs rampant among the Christians, Jews, Muslims, and Hindus with little (if any) interference or legal consequences. |
