Dr. Idel Dreimer |
The atheist has no preconceptions -- he reads the text of the universe as it appears -- and there are no explanatory footnotes. It is the theist who proposes an explanation; thus, he must bear the burden of proof. That proof is invariably what somebody said a long time ago. (Observation #1749) |

If your god needs defending by mere mortal human beings, it isn’t much of a god at all, now is it? |

A Catholic TV host mentioned that social media is damaging children’s brains because they are not yet fully developed. Funny how Catholic and other religious factions seem to have no problem indoctrinating these very same children before they’re old enough to think for themselves. |

Regarding Christians reading of the Bible:
It takes some artful cherry-picking and translation to turn that archaic horror story into anything remotely pleasant.

God may be fictional, but the damage done by believers is entirely real. |

Religion offers people an escape from a world that has been made worse than it has to be by religion. |

Most atheist landlords I know would rent to a religious person as long as that person didn’t try to push religion on them. That being said, there’s a “snowball’s chance in hell†most religious landlords would knowingly rent to an atheist despite the circumstance. |

The day that religion meets its demise is the day when humans can truly be humane for the first time. |

Believers are not dumb. They just have a command of thoroughly useless information (apologies to Bill Watterson) |

According to Christians, if someone as vile as a serial killer accepts Jesus as his Lord and saviour and repents his sins, he will still get into heaven. Whereas an atheist who rescues multiple children from a burning building that doesn’t accept this goes to hell. Am I the only one who sees something seriously wrong here? |

Most of the children I know could imagine a much better world than the one supposedly created by the God of the Bible. That should tell you all you need to know about religious beliefs. |

Fictional gods are a nasty sort so the best part about them is that they don’t exist! |

Why am I not religious? Because I have a functioning, non-indoctrinated brain still capable of rational thought. |

Though I am quite fond of the invisible Flying Spaghetti Monster in the sky, I would NEVER allow fairy-tale or myth to influence the decisions I make in life! |

In religion, people are often asked to “surrender†themselves to a deity. I choose NOT to surrender myself to ignorance. |

Religion is notorious for making a person feel overwhelmingly guilty when they’ve done absolutely NOTHING wrong. |

When antiquated superstition is instrumental in determining the law of the land, there's ample reason for worry.

“You are free to be a servant of God.â€

I wonder if Rod realises the irony of this statement!

When a pastor claims the Bible is the “literal word of God†and later in the same sermon reads a Bible passage and states, “What I think the Bible is saying here…â€, I can’t help but being amused by the hypocrisy! |
|
|
EA Miller |
Once upon a time, human beings knew nothing of science and created various gods to explain the things they didn’t understand. There is no excuse for such nonsense now! |

Why does the “God of love†kill so many people in the Bible? |

Andrew was a poetry bloke
And for a human being
An embarrassing joke
He believed in
Invisible beings in the sky
That guided his
Who, what, where and why
If only he had picked up
A science book
And never gave mythology
A serious look
Atheist poetry by EA Miller |

A FB friend writes:
"Belief in a spiritual realm of some type has been around for many thousands of years. I can not see it disappearing anytime soon."
I write:
"The human race managed perfectly well without gods for maybe a million years before our imagination took us to another level.
"Maybe it IS possible to reverse the human situation by using our imagination more positively."

To balance out the ignorance of superstition with intellect and critical thinking, I think a library should be built for every new church erected. |

Matthew 7:1 (KJV)
"Judge not, that ye not be judged."
The religious are often quick to condemn or “pray for†atheists without ever considering asking them what they really want.

If there was some definitive argument proving the existence of god, you would be hearing that argument from every theologian on the planet. As it stands, we have approximately as many arguments for god's existence as we do theologians. |

Mythological characters do not have the capacity to love or hate, show equality or bigotry, or exhibit generosity or greed until man first uses his pen to breathe life into them. |

Bible study groups think that they are having meaning and intelligent discussions when in actuality all they are doing is reinforcing superstition while turning a blind eye to science. |

Every day I’m exceedingly grateful that I don’t let myth and superstition determine the course of my life. |

Those who push religion have been deceiving folk for THOUSANDS of years. It HAS to stop! |

The more I contemplate the unimaginable vastness and complexity of the universe, the more absurd man's puny little religions become. |

Faith. I believe every word written in the holy books . . . . . . was authored by Man. |

I have this feeling that ALL gods have been faked. Anyone else feel the same? |
|

EA Miller |
Those that deny others love for religious reasons do not understand the concept of love. God is not love. Love is love. Plain and simple. I have no doubt that primitive people living 10,000 years ago never heard of your choice of gods and yet still ‘loved’ one another. |

Humans are conditioned to believe they need religion, because it's something that saves the clergy from having to seek honest work. |

Funny how many atheists are able to judge a person by their character (not sexual orientation, cultural beliefs, or color of their skin) and the ‘perfect’ Christian almighty god does not possess this ability. Seems like a pretty dim, narrow-minded deity to me! |

The Islamic 72 virgins promise is asking a bit much. Maybe it was originally 72 vaginas and got taken out of context. |

Muslims don't have to PRAY five times a day, they have to be BRAINWASHED five times a day. Not a lot of people know that. |

Heads up! Be careful when using the word CULTS in describing the religious 'cos it's very easy to make a Freudian slip. |

We humans are hard wired to try and make sense of our surroundings. It's part of our survival strategy as a species. Unfortunately, when we don't have good explanations for things we tend to start making things up. Then comes religion followed by orthodoxy, and that's where we get in trouble. |

Other than the barbaric agenda of ancient men and complete lack of comprehending basic science, the Bible is evidence of absolutely nothing. |

"Faith is the evidence of things unseen" just may be the most idiotic thing I hear pastors and priests say on a regular basis to their congregations of gullible followers. |

"Did you know you have to read and interpret the Bible in a special way, otherwise all the violence and genocide and rape and racism and misogyny and immoral laws just sound like, well, violence and genocide and rape and racism and misogyny and immoral laws?"

This god is supposedly a “father†figure yet to accept me he had to plan and have carried out the beating, torture, and execution of his only son, apparently this should send a strong signal to me of how much he loves me. |

Creationists believe that 1,700 kinds of animals left the Ark and macro-adapted into the millions of species known in Roman times, all in just 2,400 years. Then they stopped macro-adapting. That's over 3 new species popping up every hour. |
