author atheist quote
Pat Simons Pat Simons No matter of science was ever resolved through a debate. In science, evidence and testability are the only things that matter.Therefore, when the creationist wants to debate evolution, they've already lost the argument. They're just too full of supernatural nonsense to realize it.
Pat Simons Pat Simons One man's heresy, is another man's self-evident truth. And around and around it goes. You'd think an all powerful god could have done a better job of getting his/her/its message out.
EA Miller EA Miller As an atheist, I am perfectly capable of peacefully co-existing with theists as long as they keep their religion out of public schools and government.
EA Miller EA Miller Believe in yourself, NOT invisible, non-verifiable gods!
EA Miller EA Miller Seems many of mankind’s atrocities are easily forgiven as long as they are committed in the name of the invisible sky god.
EA Miller EA Miller Theory of Evolution:

Based on over 150 years of data collection, documentation, and scientific research

One of the greatest tragedies in mankind's entire history may be that morality was hijacked by religion. • Arthur C. Clarke
Earl Lee People have a natural desire to believe. It is programmed in our genetics. How else do you explain, for example, the remarkable growth of the mormon church in the last 150 years. People can be made to believe anything, no matter how goofy it is.
Rick Reynolds I don't use the term 'miracle' lightly. I don't believe in God, or reincarnation, or destiny, or the Publishers' Clearinghouse Sweepstakes.
Bill Sheehan If God is omnipotent and all-good, then how could evil exist?

If we exterminate ourselves as a species, and vaporize our beautiful world, the universe will not cry with us (a condition called the pathetic fallacy). No gods will intervene. It will just happen, and then the universe will go on. We will not be remembered. We will simply not be. • Vjay Prozak
Isaac Asimov Properly read, the Bible is the most potent force for atheism ever conceived.
Incontinentious Incontinentious Millions in the U.S.A. actually believe an invisible being made a universe 28 billion light years across in a few days, but still made Noah get millions of pairs of animals and insects into a huge boat? Seriously... we're fucked.
Alexander Loutsis To really be free, You need to be free in the mind
Mikhail Bakunin If God really existed, it would be necessary to abolish him.
Blulu Reply to yourall embarrassing: I (like many atheists) know the bible really well, probably better than you. It is a good read and contains some useful teachings that still apply. However, anyone who says they believe every word of it is either deceiving others or themselves. It contains so many contradictions, and things that nobody, not even you, honestly believes applies anymore. If you Google "bible contradictions" you will find over 1,000,000 entries. Some written by believers trying (and failing) to justify them and some written by atheists like me who know the bible well enough to know that it is very human written and flawed. Either "god's word" is true or isn't. If there is just one contradiction in it, this would be enough to discredit it as the foundation of any religion, but actually there are many, perhaps hundreds. Those who justify these contradictions ask us to believe that god changed his mind and his principles as the time progressed. How absurd is that? I'm sorry but what you accuse us of here really applies to you. It is believers who have to twist what they read into something that supports their views.

I will stop here, because I know I can never convince you when you are so determined to keep lying to yourself.
jstep religion is the problem not the solution
EA Miller EA Miller Leaders of all Abrahamic religions work vehemently to suppress individual rights and marginalize very specific populations of people (e.g., women, minorities, LBGT community).

EA Miller EA Miller To Christians out there calling atheists “Satanists” …

We don't believe any of your fairytales. Which means we also don't believe in any of the fictional characters contained within them, protagonists or antagonists. Capeesh?

EA Miller EA Miller This Thanksgiving I am grateful to all of the scientists, past and present, who were responsible for all of the potentially life-saving vaccines that are available to us today. *Note, no gods were involved in the creation of these vaccines, just tons of empirical data and testing for validity.
EA Miller EA Miller On a planet with limited resources, why would an all-knowing god command his people to be fruitful and multiply? Recommending smaller families and contraception seems much more rational.

EA Miller EA Miller Religious folk can keep their “faith”. I much prefer reality.
EA Miller EA Miller Large or small, all religious organizations exhibit cult mentalities that attack reality and rationality for the sake of preserving their fragile belief systems.

Pat Simons Pat Simons Nothing excuses hate and intolerance quite like religion.
EA Miller EA Miller Imagine someone literally hated your guts and wanted you dead simply because you don’t believe in their particular fairy-tale. Sadly, thanks to religion, you don’t have to imagine. Isn’t it time that humanity ditched its ancient violent mythology cults and lived for the betterment of everyone?
Pat Simons Pat Simons Religion . . . both the original cure and the original disease.
Pat Simons Pat Simons Imagine the quality of the minds that would be attracted to Medicine, Law, and other professions if those fields only studied one book, hadn't had a new idea in centuries, and couldn't demonstrate the truth of anything they taught. And yet, the clergy expects to be deferred to.
EA Miller EA Miller Once you realize that all religion is a load of hogwash, you experience the world for the very first time.
EA Miller EA Miller Religion is stupidity on steroids.

Look on the bright side. Those who believe there's an afterlife better than this one shouldn't be worrying.

EA Miller EA Miller Ever hear of a person burning, beheading, or flogging witches and possessed demons in the name of atheism? Me either. That would be religion!

The foundational beliefs and assumptions of both the scientific method and religion are unchanging. From only one of them does an ever-perfected knowledge flow like clear water from a spring - Ralph Metusi

Religion is an unchanging anachronistic description of truth conceived in pre-history. The scientific method is an unchanging modern process continually revising the description of the universe in a quest for absolute truth. - John Aubrey
EA Miller EA Miller TV Pastor Tony Evans: “Faith is evidence of things you can’t see.”

Me: “Nope, quite the opposite!”
EA Miller EA Miller A talking bush, a talking snake, a talking donkey, zombies, and the ridiculous Noah's Ark tale... At some point you just need to call BS!
EA Miller EA Miller Those who do not desire to understand the universe, and cannot wait for scientific investigation to find the answers, fill in the blanks with their “magical” god of choice and they are completely satisfied with this explanation.

In other words… Memorize myth as fact, ignore that which contradicts it, and give up entirely on critical thinking.
EA Miller EA Miller “There are two ways to be fooled. One is to believe what isn’t true. The other is to refuse what is true.”

Just a thought, but, MAYBE, just like God, that snake DIDN'T actually SAY anything, it just wrote what it wanted to say on stone tablets.
EA Miller EA Miller God was so pissed at his creation that he decided to murder nearly everyone on the planet (Noah’s Ark tale). But hey, he loves you unconditionally.

Pat Simons Pat Simons If the evangelicals stopped expecting the world to defer to their religiosity, they wouldn't feel so persecuted.
Jesse Jesse Jesse Jesse A penis is like religion. It’s nice to have, very convenient and has multiple uses. You may even be proud of it. But like religion it should never be whipped out and publicly displayed. And it should never be shoved down our children’s throats.
Pat Simons Pat Simons There is something a little pathetic about people who need supernatural justification to behave like decent human beings.

EA Miller EA Miller Remember that speech in the Bible where Jesus wholeheartedly spoke out against human slavery? Neither do I, and don't even get me started on a "all loving" father who drowns everyone on Earth except for a floating zoo! The Bible does not teach morality, but just the opposite I fear.
EA Miller EA Miller John 3:16:

“God so loved the world…”

…that he sent himself (remember, the myth book states that Jesus is God, the great “I am”) to sacrifice himself knowing full well that there would be no long-term repercussions and that he would soon be off to paradise to sit beside himself.
