I started a meditation class. I was told to relax, clear my mind, and think of nothing. So I relaxed, cleared my mind, and thought of GOD. |

All the prayers that were ever prayed, to all the gods that were ever made, did not a single rainbow make. |
|

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

Truth never requires faith. |

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. |
|
|
Pat Simons |
Few things show intellectual weakness quite like the constant assertion of religious faith. |
|
|
Anthony W. Allsop (Genesis) (admin) |
If heaven is true and we being apes is also true, does this mean that heaven is full of apes?

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

Steve Fradkin |
I find it interesting the audacity of us humans to alter the inerrant word of *god*. After all, doesn't the very header page of every holy book say "Revised"? |
|
|
Pat Simons |
The effects on the human mind of getting involved with organized religion, is not unlike drinking downstream from the herd. |
|
|
Pat Simons |
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. |
|

Dr. Idel Dreimer |
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. |

Anthony W. Allsop (Genesis) (admin) |
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. |

EA Miller |
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.†|

It's 90 degrees in the shade in Jerusalem...so where did Noah get two penguins and two polar bears from? |

Theists never have any difficulty spotting the flaws in other people's religion. What they have trouble with is realizing that their own beliefs aren't based on any more than the other guy's. |

Daniel Langdon |
Did you ever notice that when a medical procedure is successful, people praise god. When it is not successful, they sue the doctor. |

Religious folk often ask, "How can you deny the love of god?" Then I'll quote them something like this...
Numbers 31:17-18 The Holy Bible (KJV)
17 Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him.
18 But all the women children, that have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves. |

Atheism is a belief system, too.
We atheists believe in exercising common sense.
We believe in the scientific approach.
We believe in searching for the truth.
We believe in thinking outside the box.
We believe in not believing in magic, mysticism and the supernatural.
Finally. We believe in not allowing our children and our children's children to be bamboozled, fooled and ripped off by religious shysters, and our aim, our endeavour, is to do something about it.
Any objections? |

Quoting passages from the holy scriptures as some sort of PROOF is as meaningless as quoting passages from any work of fiction as PROOF. |

Science does not put forward ideas that carry with them the threat of eternal damnation if people reject them. |
|
|
EA Miller |
Evangelicals replace what is logical and reasonable with blind faith and irrational dogma. They poison the mind in every sense of the word! |

A truly loving god indeed...
"Anyone who beats their male or female slave with a rod must be punished if the slave dies as a direct result, but they are not to be punished if the slave recovers after a day or two, since the slave is their property." Exodus 21:20-21 |

Religion dumbs a person down to the point that they no longer challenge even the most outrageous claims from their cult of choice. |
|

Dr. Idel Dreimer |
Faith is the foundation stone of fanaticism. (Observation #1920) |
|
|
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)

Nothing excuses hate and intolerance quite like religion. |

I am very familiar with the Christian deity: "Lord misogynistic, homophobic, xenophobic, slave-approving, mass-murdering, child-abusing, mixed-fabric hating, science illiterate, all-knowing god who loves you dearly!" |
|

EA Miller |
Anything that requires "faith" instead of "actual proof" throws rational thinking right out the window. |

Being gay is not a sin. Atheism is not a sin. Beloning to the wrong religion is not a sin. Why? Because sin is an imaginery disease invented to sell you an imaginery cure. |
