| Rob Imbeault |
He said he didn't believe in evolution to which I giggled until I realized he was serious. I asked "So what are your thoughts on gravity?" |

God & religion are what keep people in an unquestioning state of ignorance. To believe in a God & have faith is to remain close minded. Paradoxically it is the opposite condition of Atheism. |

There is in my opinion a reality that exsists outside of the field of human perception,outside of human egotism. A reality that has no need of humans. No need of gods or religions. |

| Charles Dickens |

Three words to out-smart even the smartest christians;
"Where's the evidence?" |
|
| Christopher Paolini ("Eldest", 2006) |
We believe the world behaves according to certain inviolable rules and that, by persistent effort, we can discover those rules and use them to predict events when circumstances repeat... I cannot prove that gods do not exist. Nor can I prove that the world and everything in it was not created by an entity or entities in the distant past. But I can tell you that in the millennia we elves have studied nature, we have never witnessed an instance where the rules that govern the world have been broken. That is, we have never seen a miracle... Death, sickness, poverty, tyranny and countless other miseries stalk the land. If this is the handiwork of divine beings, then they are to be rebelled against and overthrown, not given obeisance, obedience, and reverence. |

| George Stroumboulopoulos |
Because there's a billion Christians in the world there's a billion Muslims and four billion people that are neither. Yet those four billion have to live by the rules of the other two billion. And I wonder if there's going to be a time where the other four billion are going to go "eh, u know wht - enough!" |

I was once told in a religious argument that I don't listen to which I replied: "Maybe it's not that I don't listen, but that I do and in ding so I have recognized and sifted through the bullshit that is religion." |

Faith is an excuse for lack of evidence. |

If god impregnated Mary without her consent, doesn't that make him a rapist? No one ever asks how Joseph felt about it either... wasn't his sperm good enough for her? |

If you talk to god, you're religious. If god talks to you, you're psychotic. |

Anthony W. Allsop (Genesis) (admin) |
The only difference between being placed in the shade and protected and being kept in the dark and stifled is the intensity of the light. |

Science and logic encourage a person to have constant "moments of doubt" without guilt. |

Stuart Vealey |
Most Christians value among other things: honor, beauty, grace, hope, compassion, loyalty, justice, hard work, empathy, sympathy, good will and their deity.
I value just one thing less.

Imagine there's no Heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today |

I don't have a problem with religion. I have a problem with the religious. |

Religion is a crutch for ignorance |
|
|
P Z Myers |
It's one thing to tell your kids that a jolly, bearded old guy who knows if you've been bad or good and dispenses presents accordingly doesn't really exist; apparently it's quite another to tell your kids that a vengeful, bearded old guy who knows if you've been bad or good and dispenses damnation accordingly doesn't really exist.

If the universe was 'intelligently designed', makes you wonder what it was 'intelligently designed' FOR? It certainly wasn't designed with our species, or any other living thing in mind. |

This 'speaking in tongues' nonsense is a load of txhwgydgfjed. |

| Ivan Ratoyevsky |
I had to laugh out loud because the church got so upset by an advert on the side of a bus saying "there's probably no god relax don't worry enjoy your life" now the church is taking the humanist society to the ASA for telling untruths?? So the church now claims to be the sole arbitrator of THE ONE AND ONLY TRUTH!!  ) |

The Ten Commandments are bullshit. If you honestly believe that #4, “Remember the Sabbath” is more important than, say, “Don’t hate people different from you” then you are full of shit, too.

There is no aspect of personality which cannot be altered through brain damage. So if we rely on our physical brains for every aspect of our 'selves' what exactly is the nature of this 'soul' the religious talk about? It is, like god, a comforting myth. |

Our intelligence got us here. Not fairies or gods. Intelligence INSPITE of our propensity to believe nonsense, fuelled entirely by the desire to escape death. |

Christians claim the image on the shroud of Turin is their savior. The shroud has been carbon-dated circa 1350. Did your supposed j*sus rise from the dead and ascend into heaven, or is the shroud a fake? Which is it? Either way the church lies.

Religion is a loaded pistol, handed to a five-year old.
|
|
| Voltaire (1694-1778) |
"Now, now my good man, this is no time for making enemies."
Voltaire on his deathbed in response to a priest asking that he renounce Satan. |

If there is only one universal god, there can only be one universal religion, which obviously does not exist.
Ergo, god does not exist. |

What is Heaven but a place filled with all the people who need a being to blame their own mistakes on, all the cowards in the world, everyone scared of the truth. While hell on the other hand is filled with "The Sinners." The people that were smart enough to question the mainstream. the people that would not sit back and let a fake being control their lives. All of the great thinkers and philosophers in the world. And if Hell burns me for eternity then so be it. I would rather burn in Hell till the end of time than be catagorized with the Cowards of Heaven. |

In the beginning Man was really dumb... and He said "Let there be a God" And Lo... it all started to go a bit pear shaped after that. |

If Jesus wants to save us, why doesn't he just get on with it instead of all this "Now you see me, now you don't" bullshit? |

Atheism's great. It makes you realise how stupid most people are. And it can even make you realise how stupid you used to be yourself... |
|
|
Prof Uri Nassol |
If I threaten to kill my children unless they worship me, am I good parent? OK, maybe that's a little bit extreme. Maybe I should just allow someone to torture them for eternity instead. |

What is god actually doing to help innocent babies that are dying slow, painful deaths? He's too busy working in mysterious ways no doubt... |

Stupid quote #2: |
"We don't have to protect the environment, the Second Coming is at hand."
--James Watt, Secretary of the Interior during the Regan years. |

Prof Uri Nassol |
When a theist says they've been "born again" it does help explain their return to thinking like children and indulging in wishful fantasies. In children it's endearing... in adults it's just sad. |
|
| Ivan Ratoyevsky |
Atheists have inherited a sense of morality, what is right & wrong, it comes hardwired from our evolutionary past i.e. our ancient ancestors. A moral sense is not dependent on religion or from God or from the bible. |
|
| Larry Rhodes |
If you insist that everyone has faith in something, then I'll admit that my faith lies in the human ability to deal with the real world using human reason and compassion. I have faith that we are not born as flawed sinners; we are born whole, with brains capable of dealing with life's challenges unassisted by mythology and supernatural belief systems.

God gets jealous? Jealous of other Gods? Jealous of Gods which he knows don't even exist? The guy needs therapy... |
|
| Isaac Asimov |
If I were not an atheist, I would believe in a God who would choose to save people on the basis of the totality of their lives and not the pattern of their words. I think he would prefer an honest and righteous atheist to a TV preacher whose every word is God, God, God, and whose every deed is foul, foul, foul. |
|
| Ivan Ratoyevsky |
ONLY humans could invent religion which turns out to be the most destructive force on the planet. Only habitat destruction & climate change come close. |
|
| Michael Merlin Petar |
If your God needs you to preach his Word from a book and not talk with me directly, then you believe in a lesser God than I do. |

Not for nothin’ but where’s the FDA raid when people are eating flesh and drinking blood that has a 2,000 year old expiration date?
