That’s the problem with indoctrination; the whole point of ....[religious] .... education is to stop someone from thinking and instead kick their emotions into gear. Make them hate everything else so they’ll cling to what you give them. It’s hard to think for yourself when fear and anger are driving the shuttle. • Delilah S. Dawson |

We had awakened their lust, offering them a secret that couldn't have been emptier, because not only did we know it ourselves, but even better, we knew it was false.

Believers are no different to the rest of us. No more happy/sad. No more fulfilled/unfulfilled. No more virtuous/wicked. In fact, the only noticeable difference is that they give control over their lives to someone else, to a fictional being and to an interesting but extremely flawed, book. |

Every day the voice of atheism grows louder, more confident, backed by ever-increasing evidence, reason and logic. Every day the religious respond by sticking their fingers in their ears and shouting "La!La!La!La!La!" |

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. |

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. |

If I said to someone that because they were a homosexual, I would take them down to my basement and torture them, claiming my own "universal law", I would be considered a dangerous psychopath. When god does it, it's holy judgment and not to be questioned. |

Is it good, because your god tells you it is good? Then the morals you speak of are empty.
Does your god tell you it is good, because it is already good? Then the morals you speak of need no god. |

I question anyone who takes the word of a priest, pastor, rabbi, or imam in matters regarding science over that of a highly educated actual scientist. |

I thank fictional gods for nothing. This world has enough resources to feed and house everyone, but instead self-serving despots, billionaires, and religious factions fighting over who has the best imaginary friend have ruined it all. |

Nothing divides people more effectively and unnecessarily, than religion. Take religion out of the equation, and a great many of the world's problems would fade away. |

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 . |

I’m grateful for science, rational thinking, and those who embrace equal rights and the beauty of our diverse world. What I don’t do is “praise” mythological beings that give me the permission to be a narrow-minded hateful bigot. |

The very corrupt right wing of the United States government (under the previous president) forgave loans of 4.4 million to pastor/grifter Joel Osteen and a whopping 3.5 billion dollars for the Catholic Church. This was all done to buy religious extremists votes and enact harsh laws based on Christianity. |

I think the "decline in membership" the Catholic church reports is mostly due to so many people using their own version of barbaric ancient beliefs to suit their twisted individual goals (e.g., political power, controlling women, money ambitions, voter-suppression, owning an armory). I just wish it would decline much faster before there is nothing left over for us rational thinkers to protect. |

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) |

White evangelicals are up in arms about public educators "grooming" today's children in ways they don't appreciate. Yet, ironically, they are the "groomers" ramming dangerous religious doctrine into the minds of children before their brains are even fully developed. |
