Anthony W. Allsop (Genesis) (admin) |
Religion is nothing more than a protection racket. Not far short of demanding money with menaces. |

Priests, monks, nuns and the rest of the clergy are for the best part the product of stupidity. |

What the pope said about gay families. "There can be no confusion between the family that god wants and any other type of union". If that is truly what god wants then why doesn't god (fucking) tell us. |

"Some would say we should keep open minds. I say, that's ok as far as it goes but it doesn't mean giving serious thought to some things that are obviously crap. If we do, isn't there a real danger of having our minds chock full of shit?" -:- Anthony W. Allsop (Genesis) |

Dr. Idel Dreimer |
The claim of a religion to represent universal and eternal truths is always betrayed by the particularities of its origin. Taking Christianity as an example -- the God revealed --as opposed to the one proclaimed -- is willing to see his son tortured as a part of a propaganda event -- an event as cheaply sensationalist as something which might be devised by the proprietor of a struggling travelling circus. God is also, evidently, a gambler -- counting on the credulity of the age -- for what were the chances that his 'one-shot miracle' would be believed on the basis of such limited and unlikely evidence? Finally, God makes salvation the equivalent of holding a lottery ticket -- he cares nothing for the millions of souls born too soon, or the millions born into other cultures, in inconveniently distant locations. The God revealed -- a cruel, unjust, capricious, speculator-promoter-publicist -- is scarcely fit to manage a corner convenience store, much less a universe. (Observation #513) |

Dr. Idel Dreimer |
Religions are human hypotheses about divine beginnings -- ideas which gain power only insofar as their imaginative and speculative origins are forgotten, and the reality of the human element becomes lost in the divine ideal. They are like bogus currencies -- which circulate as long as their lead coins can maintain a plated sheen of gold -- a facade of truth and legitimacy. (Observation #503) |
|
|
Dr. Idel Dreimer |
A religion is simply that element of tribalism which refers to origins. It creates cohesion by encouraging a shared mythic belief not vulnerable to rational analysis. It is nothing more nor less than tribal propaganda which claims the mantle of divine sanction, and postures with a halo of theistic infallibility. (Observation #498) |
|

Dr. Idel Dreimer |
In religious faith there is the seed of madness. (Observation # 486) |

Asked why i became an atheist. I replied, i don't need a paedophile in a long dress holding a wooden stick in one hand with an inanimate object pinned to it and holding a book of unmitigated drivel in the other telling me how to conduct my life. |

Monks and priests try to emulate their beloved man-made jesus by doing exactly what he did and saying exactly what he said. How many of them are carpenters then?. |

I do not deny. I do not know - but I do not believe. I believe that the natural is supreme - that from the infinite chain no link can be lost or broken — that there is no supernatural power that can answer prayer - no power that worship can persuade or change — no power that cares for man - Robert Ingersoll |

All of the man-made holy books should have this addendum. This is a work of fiction. Names, characters, places and incidents are either of the authors imagination or are used fictitiously. Any resemblance to actual events or any persons living or dead, is entirely coincidental. |

If America leads a blessed life, then why did God put all of our oil under people who hate us? - Jon Stewart |

Dr. Idel Dreimer |
Mankind -- and the other animals -- show that the universe is capable of consciousness, and wants to think. That makes the universe a very interesting place; it does not suggest benevolence, omnipotence, or life after death. |

Paul (Desert Rat) |
150-200 BILLION stars like our sun in the Milky Way galaxy...150-200 BILLION other galaxies in the known universe, and Christians have the unmitigated GALL, supersized EGOS, CAJONES, AUDACITY, CHUTZPAH, to think a "God" chose our MICROSCOPIC planet in the ENTIRE universe, to leave his children to fend for themselves, and if they didn't WORSHIP him, they would burn in HELL for all ETERNITY?? |

Paul Buttino |
How blind, naïve,and ignorant most humans are, to believe that an ALL POWERFUL, ALL SEEING, ALL KNOWING, ALL OMNICIENT, ALL MERCIFUL, INVISIBLE God would create a universe in just six days, made up with the SAME space dust as our earth, moon, planets and sun, & having 200 BILLION galaxies, each containing 200 BILLION stars. Then create only ONE tiny planet in the ENTIRE universe, where he would leave his ONLY children that he loved, but gave no INSTRUCTION on how to survive in this hostile environment, or to unlock it's secrets, and condemned them to fend for themselves for MILLIONS of years. Yet INSIST that they WORSHIP him, or burn in a fiery hell for ALL ETERNITY! But this "PERFECT" God would then succumb to the very "human" need to REST on the seventh day... |

Heating tip 1: I have a wood burning stove and I also love to haunt charity shops.
When I find old bibles, prayer or hymn books and Korans, I snap them up for a pittance. They make ideal fuel during the cold dark winters.
Cheaper than buying logs and they throw out just as much heat.
Heating tip 2: Should you feel this practice is a little too sacrilegious, then, by all means sprinkle said books with oil of frankincense prior to burning. |

Modern fanaticism thrives in proportion to the quantity of contradictions and nonsense it pours down the throats of the gaping multitude, and the jargon and mysticism it offers to their wonder and credulity. ― William Hazlitt |

Where religion is concerned, the reward for absurdity is reverence. |

All Gods suffer from the same fatal flaw: they are created in the image of man. Thus they are invariably tainted with a human pettiness which renders them unworthy of worship. |

“Faith can be very very dangerous, and deliberately to implant it into the vulnerable mind of an innocent child is a grievous wrong.â€

Let me tell you something, for hundreds of years, this kind of discussion would have been impossible to have, or those like us would have been having it at the risk of our lives. Religion now comes to us in this smiley face ingratiating way, because it's had to give so much more ground and because we know so much more. But you've got no right to forget the way it behaved when it was strong,and when it really did believe that it had God on its side.
Christopher Hitchens

The god of the bible condoned slavery, rape, and genocide. How can this same god be expected to produce a set of Morales for us to live by? |

Prayer is like drinking. It doesn't actually help, it just makes you feel better til the next day when you feel even worse, and the same problem is still there. It's a way of distracting ourselves into believing that we are doing something, when we know that we can do nothing. |

The only real radicalism in our time will come as it always has — from people who insist on thinking for themselves and who reject party-mindedness. |

I've just been informed that I will see sense only when I have found God.
But how can I find God when All the gods are in hiding along with the Mermaids, Unicorns, Leprechauns, Fairies, Ogres, Pixies, The Loch Ness Monster, Santa, The Tooth Fairy, The Talking Snakes and those Flying Donkeys, etc? |

Once upon a time, human beings knew nothing of science and created various gods to explain the things they didn’t understand. There is no excuse for such nonsense now! |
