The Christian Television Network (CTN) just ran a lengthy ad condemning the Equality Act. They truly are vile human beings who do not want others who differ from them to enjoy the same rights that they have always had. Religion is absolute poison. |

Dr. Idel Dreimer |
Religion is an imaginative construct -- a work of art, if you will -- but it differs from other narratives in its social impact. It gives hope of resurrection, salvation, and ultimate justice. It comforts with an anthropocentric view of an otherwise alien or even hostile universe. It soothes with repetition and communal ritual. Because it claims divine origin, it insulates itself -- and believers -- from mere mortal criticism. These elements create a powerful mythic cultural glue which enhances social unity -- and which -- historically -- has enabled tribal survival.
At the heart of its power lies certainty -- which is both its inspirational strength and its moral weakness: while inspiring faith with claims of infallibility and moral purity -- it allows the commission of unconscionable evils in its promulgation and defence. Reason requires that, in the absence of evidence, religion should deny certainty -- but this is like asking the dictator to renounce power, the charlatan to proclaim his deceptions, the predator to give warning to its prey.(Observation #1922)

Imagine a world where your eternal salvation depended upon your understanding of quantum mechanics. Sophisticated theology is no easier to understand and unlike science, puts forward no testable evidence or consistent argument. |

Science requires neither apologetics nor apologists, so why does religion? A divine being who can will the universe into existence, but can't make itself understood? Seriously? |
|

Why is it that one of the first thing a man does after getting religion, is claim a right to control women's bodies? |

The Vatican is going green (well brown) all new bibles will now be made from recycled toilet paper so Christians as well as reading bullshit they can smell it too. Bless them they have movements in mysterious ways. |

One may decide what to believe, but no one gets to decide what's true. Truth is that which stands up to any degree of questioning. No religion meets this test, and I know of no religion that encourages its followers to question its teachings. |

Few things show intellectual weakness quite like the constant assertion of religious faith. |

The effects on the human mind of getting involved with organized religion, is not unlike drinking downstream from the herd. |

If something is true, you can question it all you want and it will be the thing you keep coming back to. Religion is not known for encouraging people to question their teachings. |

Gods' (like unicorns) are the product of imagination.
But to be a non-believer in God takes REAL imagination. |

Certainty in the absence of evidence is the great inspirational strength -- and the great moral weakness -- at the heart of any religion. (Observation # 1421) |
|
|
Pat Simons |
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. |

Look at many of the world's trouble spots, from India-Pakistan, to Northern Ireland, to the Balkans, to the never ending horror story that is the Middle East. Remove religion from the equation.....and suddenly, people would have a whole lot less to fight about. |

Mankind is obviously very special to God. I mean, didn't he spend some 14,000,000,000 years carefully considering our design before creating us? |

Someone just suggest to me that Atheism is a belief system. However, Science is also a belief system. So too are Geography, Mathematics and Languages. It's just a pity that the education establishment worldwide doesn't recognise Atheism and include it in school curricular. |

Using god as an explanation for everything is just a lazy way of saying “I don’t like to do research. The ancient goat-herder myth book has all the answers I’ll ever need.†|

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. |

My position as an atheist:
Being pro-science, pro-rational thinking, having the ability to question fantastical claims, being open-minded, wanting equality for all people, and not believing that some ancient, barbaric writings should guide a person's life.

EA Miller |
Does your chosen holy book emphasize that equal rights and opportunities for all human beings is an absolute necessity? If not, you're a narrow-minded, hateful bigot that uses this book to justify your horrific actions against other people who simply want to enjoy the same opportunities that you already take for granted. |
