EA Miller |
There are homophobic atheists in the world, but they certainly don't have a holy book which condemns a person's sexuality. That's the big difference. Atheists, on the whole, are much more acceptable of people’s life-style choices than religious people are. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

Believe in yourself, NOT invisible, non-verifiable gods! |

Seems many of mankind’s atrocities are easily forgiven as long as they are committed in the name of the invisible sky god. |

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. |

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 |

Properly read, the Bible is the most potent force for atheism ever conceived. |

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. |

If God really existed, it would be necessary to abolish him. |

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. |

Associated Press. I deem deplorable the practice of so called surrogate motherhood, which represents a grave violation of dignity of the woman and child, based on the exploitation situations of the mothers material needs. Dope francis. As of going to press the virgin mary has not replied. |

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. |

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. |

One of the primary objectives of religion in the modern world seems to be conditioning people to accept the idea nothing comes ahead of corporate profit. |

Religious folk can keep their “faith”. I much prefer reality. |

Large or small, all religious organizations exhibit cult mentalities that attack reality and rationality for the sake of preserving their fragile belief systems. |

If religion equals morality, then why aren't our prisons over-flowing with atheists? You'd think they would be. |

Nothing excuses hate and intolerance quite like religion. |

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? |

Religion . . . both the original cure and the original disease. |

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. |

Once you realize that all religion is a load of hogwash, you experience the world for the very first time. |

Trump the clown-in-chief of America is an outstanding Christian that Dope Francis will be so pleased to have as a role model for Christianity. |

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 |

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! |

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. |

“There are two ways to be fooled. One is to believe what isn’t true. The other is to refuse what is true.â€

Odd how that sounds like every religious person in the history of humankind.

If you truly “walk by faith†and not #science, perhaps you should have the GPS removed from your vehicle. |

Believing in gods equates to giving up on reality. |

If the Bible's "Revelation" is future prophesy, why are there no lasers? |

I will never have "faith" in a god who favors very specific groups of people while vehemently discriminating against others. |

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. |

Is the Bible racist? "...the curse or mark of Cain for killing his brother was a darkening of his descendants' skin. Historically, many congregations in the U.S. pointed to this story of Cain as evidence that Black skin was created as a punishment." -Michael P. |

“The Bible is filled with God’s wisdom.” -all pastors, priests, and rabbis
Really? There’s no mention of DNA, atomic structure, or even the science behind making food and water safer to eat and drink. But ah it does give the cause of disease (demons) and warns how imposing iron chariots can be!

If Christianity contained an iota of demonstrable fact, there would not be this obsession with indoctrinating children on the part of believers. |
