| Daniel Boorstin |
I have observed that the world has suffered far less from ignorance than from pretensions to knowledge. It is not skeptics or explorers but fanatics and ideologues who menace decency and progress. No agnostic ever burned anyone at the stake or tortured a pagan, a heretic, or an unbeliever.

| Catharina Martin |
If the masses at church go to heaven, I wish to stay on Earth and burn when the apocalypse comes, for I would rather die an agonizing and painful death than spend the rest of eternity amongst ignorant people. |

It isn't the idea of Jesus I object to so much as his fan club. They disturb me a great deal. |

The Bible doesn't seem to acknowledge most places on planet Earth. It's almost as if the desert dwelling sky-worshipers that wrote it knew very little about our planet.

Anthony W. Allsop (Genesis) (admin) |
Illusion begets collusion begets delusion begets confusion begets FAITH. Different, but the same old same old. |
|
|
EA Miller |
You can either believe in observable data and critical thinking or in fairy-tales yelling "have faith" any time you don't have a real answer. The latter just screams of mental instability!

My guess is that Jesus will be REALLY dead before this century is out. |

China is an atheist country for the most part, yet a lot of "Christians" seem to really enjoy Chinese food on a regular basis. I can't help but get a kick out of the irony here! |

Christian “religious freedom” is an open attack on democratic institutions because it is a non-flexible, narrowminded vision of a theocratic society that is all engulfing and thoroughly punishes dissenting viewpoints. |
|

EA Miller |
The only truth in religion is that its antiquated contents are used to acquire power and wealth and then oppress the people whose lifestyles it detests. |

I'm pretty sure that we'd all be willing to die for the future of mankind if we knew we'd be living again three days later and receive eternal fame for it, so what's the big fuss about? |
|
| Wayne Atkins |
What if you met an adult who still believed in Santa Clause. Based on faith. Would you consider this person admirable for having such strong faith, such strong belief without evidence? Or would you consider him a fool for believing in something so preposterous without any evidence? |
|
|
Eve's Apple Pie |
God makes Adam and Eve and gives them free will, and Eve gets tricked by the talking snake, and we've all been paying for it ever since? OK bible-bashers, thanks for explaining the meaning of life... now move over and let science sort the real world out. |

Arthur C. Clarke |

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. |

WTF Bible verses... Behold I, the lord, will rebuke your offspring and will spread dung on your face, even the dung of your animal sacrifices , and you will be taken away with it. Malachi 2.3. |

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. |

If you base your life on invisible gods in the sky granting you wishes, you better also be damn sure you’re ready for a series of major letdowns.

Pat Simons |
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. |
|

Idel Dreimer |
“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) |

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)

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

EA Miller |
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. |

Notice on church door. "Due to the lack of interest this church will be permanently closed". Now that is a good sign. |

Religions detest Atheists because Atheists tell the truth. Religious miracles (lies) have been debunked that many times that theists should live in a permanent state of embarrassment. |
