Dr. Idel Dreimer |
Gods are created for our purposes -- to do our bidding. They are used to terrify, to justify, and to explain. Consistency is not a requirement. Sometimes we expect a god to be a beneficent purveyor of egalitarian mercy -- a comforting emotional haven -- a refuge from the real world. That world, of course, is simply the outcome and embodiment of the evolutionary principles of ruthless competition and necessary murder -- it is the very world he is assumed to have knowingly created in the first place. (Observation #1857) |

Christians: “I’m fighting for my religious freedom.â€
What they’re saying in reality: “I’m fighting to inject my religious dogma into every aspect of society (e.g., government, schools, medical field) and I could give a royal fuck about anyone else’s beliefs!â€

The Christian "Abeka" series of textbooks used in the United States are a joke. Their science books definitely don't teach actual science and often mention "God made" in them. Their history books give Biblical timelines, praise Republicans, and demonize Democrats. This type of brainwashing is child abuse and perpetuates ignorance. |

WANTED FOR CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY. "GOD" and his two accomplices Jesus Christ (aka) "GOD" and the Holy Spook (aka) "GOD". If you see these three don't try to approach as they are extremely dangerous. |

Science in a religious school. Teacher, what causes thunder? It's caused by God being angry with boys and girls that have sinned. Teacher, how are babies made? God makes all babies of course. Here endeth the lesson. |

It's a fact all priests, monks and nuns are celibate. But in name only. |

The "free will" Christians claim their god gives them always baffles me. Telling people to either accept Jesus as their Lord and Savior and repent or burn in hell forever is a threatening ultimatum, not free will in any respect! |

Apparently, according to some pastors, I am experiencing a “faith failure†because I prefer to get my answers from scientific inquiry rather than their grand fairy-tale. |

Of course having ashes smeared on your forehead isn’t part of some weird cult ritual! *wink* |

If you hate gays because it says so in the bible that's not a reason to hate gays thats a reason to hate the bible. |

Statistics show that non -believers stand as much chance of surviving disasters as believers.
That's gotta mean something. |

Religious leaders have fought adamantly against education for centuries because education removes the childish need for superstitious beliefs. |

Years ago in college, I took a blow off class "Understanding Fairy-Tale" as an elective during the summer when there weren't many courses available. I imagine that's pretty much the entire curriculum for a "theology student". |

He who sees wrong being done and yet ignores it is also a wrongdoer. |

Odd how church folks’ definition of truth is the complete opposite of what it actually means…

Faith does not perform open-heart surgery. Faith does not feed the starving masses. Faith does not stop gun violence. Faith does not make climate change non-existent. What faith does do is breed false hope, divides people, causes bigotry and hatred, and puts a halt to critical thinking and analysis of the world. |

Few people terrify me more than politicians whose world view is shaped by inflexible religious belief. |

"Biblical Truth"

It would appear that many priests and pastors fail to mention this before beginning the wedding ceremonies they preside over:
"A marriage shall only be considered valid if the wife is a Virgin, if the wife is not a Virgin she shall be Executed "
- Deuteronomy 22:13-21

When one religious group finds other religions dangerous while not taking a closer look at their own beliefs, we have a concrete example of true irony and hypocrisy. |
|

EA Miller |
To stomp all over someone’s civil rights and declare that it’s “god’s will†is a faulty premise as well as morally bankrupt. |
|

Those who would break down the barriers between church and state always imagine their own religion holding sway and making the decisions for everyone. They should be imagining the sect they dislike most having control over their lives. |

David killed Goliath with a sling and a stone; there was no sword in David’s hand. [1 Samuel 17:50)]
Then David ran and stood over Goliath; he grasped his sword, drew it out of its sheath, and killed him; then he cut off his head with it. [1 Samuel 17:51 ]
Killed again? And where did the sword come from? Oops!

Few things afflict the human species more adversely than does absolute certainty regarding the supernatural. |

Life is a lot like being a marble in a pinball machine. To get the most out of either we may require a nudge now and again. |

Despite weekly gatherings and ridiculous amounts of prayer, mythological gods cannot magically solve any of the world’s problems. That would be up to ‘flesh and blood’ human beings. |

"Like all good believers I believe in resorting to using gobbledegook in defence of my belief." Said no believer EVER. |

Dr. Idel Dreimer |
Morality has no need of Gods -- it is socially derived -- a clause in every social contract. There is no practical morality for the lone castaway on a desert island -- for he can neither be sinned against nor sinning. (Observation #1428) |

God’s perfect plan?
I’m sure the thousands of impoverished people in the world, starving to death and just hoping for a bowl of protein slop once a day from some charity relief organization, really appreciate god’s perfect plan.

You often hear theists claim their god has spoken to them, but you never hear them say God told them they've gotten it all wrong and need to shut the hell up. |

Having faith in things that are real is okay. I have faith the sun will rise in the morning. Having faith in invisible, magical, non-existent gods that favor specific groups of people is not okay. |

The Bible is to science as a comic book is to serious literature. |

An all-seeing, all-knowing, benevolent god would not allow thousands of people to suffer everyday world-wide and yet find the time to help you locate your lost car keys. |

"Walking by faith and not by sight" is very convenient in that it doesn't require having to provide any evidence whatsoever. That certainly wasn't an accident on the writers' part. It's a doctrine founded on unquestioned belief with the purpose of controlling people. |

No individual actually needs religion. People are simply convinced by others that they can’t do without it. Food, water, and shelter are real needs and no imaginary god can ever provide them. |

I expect my prayers to be answered by an invisible sky god in much the same way that I expect my invisible butler Alfred to take care of the chores around the house. |

Many believe that without God, there can be no morality. But without men, there can be no Gods. Gods are mere reflectors -- they mirror the moralities of men. (Observation # 1386) |

Unlike mega-church pastors, atheists are not out to sell you anything. They are simply seeking truth over comforting lies. |

“Religion is a mental institution where each patient claims their God is the warden.â€

Let’s get one thing straight evangelicals. When you are constantly whining about “religious freedomâ€, you are ONLY talking about Christianity and no other religion. In all honestly, you could care less about other religions and wish to insert you beliefs (forcefully if necessary) into every aspect of society. |

Male religious leaders have always feared intelligent woman because they have the power to dismantle their barbaric, antiquated men's club. |

“Ungodly counsel has destroyed many households.â€
-Charles Stanley (mega-church pastor)
In other words, don’t trust highly trained, highly educated secular psychologists and psychiatrists who can actually help you. “Do no harm†apparently does not apply to pastors!

Do you know what would be much more beneficial to your health and well being than praying for a half hour before bedtime? Sleeping for an extra half hour every night! |

QUESTION: Is there any religion around today that's still prepared to make human sacrifices in order to preserve its integrity?
Well, APART from Islam. |

When criticism of supernatural nonsense is prohibited, expect to find yourself ruled by supernatural nonsense. |

Oddly, I don't recall the Bible ever mentioning atoms, DNA, anatomy, astrophysics, archeology or anything else that requires knowledge of science and/or advanced mathematics. It's almost as if ancient barbaric men with little education wrote the "word of god" to suit themselves. |

I would love to replace all of the guns current NRA members claim are their "God given 2nd Amendment right to own" and replace them with the pea-shooters the Founding Fathers actually possessed when they wrote the amendment. |

Help other human beings in need for the sake of humanity, not as a guise for indoctrinating vulnerable people. |

The irony with the "devil made me do it defense" is that the Christian god actually created this horrific character in the first place. The very same god who is supposedly omnipresent and knew damn well what the devil was going to do from the moment he created him. |

I'm beyond sick of preachers seizing upon every disaster, natural and otherwise, as proof positive they speak for the almighty and must be deferred to. |
