EA Miller EA Miller God so loved a woman that he turned her into a pillar of salt in effect murdering her just for being curious.
EA Miller EA Miller If Christian television ever actually had any important messages from God, wouldn’t the big guy in the sky have your DVR automatically record them for you? Seems pretty reasonable to me if he’d really like to get his message out!

Having belief in god is as necessary to humans as having belief in fairies, unicorns and politicians.
EA Miller EA Miller So, you are an Imam, priest, rabbi, pastor, etc. You are an expert/ authority on what exactly? The make-believe?
EA Miller EA Miller A mega-church televangelist recently said, “a true friend is one who accepts you exactly the way you are.” Of course, I immediately laughed at the hypocrisy since I can’t think of a single Christian that would ever accept an atheist as they are!
EA Miller EA Miller “It's really quite simple. An all-powerful all-knowing personal loving God could (and would surely want to) reveal him/her/itself in a way that is clear to every human & unmistakably true to every generation and every corner of the world. Religions are complex & geographical.” -Tim Sledge
EA Miller EA Miller Theists like to indoctrinate children early because once kids develop critical thinking skills, they are much less likely to buy into their bullshit and more likely to leave organized religion altogether. It’s a fear tactic and horrid child abuse.
EA Miller EA Miller The United States was not founded as a “Christian nation” as many theists claim. Case in point, the Pledge of Allegiance did not contain the words “under God” until they were added in 1954 during the McCarthy Red Scare.
EA Miller EA Miller Why does a god without sexual organs seem to care so much about the type of sex human beings are having?
EA Miller EA Miller Humanity has existed for tens of thousands of years so we're just in the infancy of scientific discovery. We fill in too many gaps with gods and fanciful thoughts that we're simply not advanced enough to understand at this stage of our development.
Idel Dreimer Idel Dreimer Preponderance of Evidence

Isn't it odd --
This thing about God? --
Brief sparks of benevolence
Mid the routine malevolence. (Observation #1670)
EA Miller EA Miller What’s the difference between a “miracle” in the Bible and magic? Absolutely nothing.
osirisnut osirisnut My favorite parts of the bible are when Jesus is alone talking to god (himself) and someone who wasn't there is writing about it.

EA Miller EA Miller Wonder if the 99.99% of Earth’s mammal population that was drowned during the Noah’s Ark story was feeling the "unconditional love” of god?
EA Miller EA Miller Christians:

“Were not polytheistic. Our God just has three pieces, like a puzzle.”
Dr. Idel Dreimer Dr. Idel Dreimer God's "perfection" is the ultimate get-out-of-jail-free card. Is God contradictory, unreliable, and uncaring? Are his motivations muddled, his creation cruel, and his second coming inordinately delayed? Don't worry -- his wisdom his infinite -- yours temporal and flawed. Tolerance of the perfection evasion varies according to the need for a comforting illusion. (Observation #1604)
Dr. Idel Dreimer Dr. Idel Dreimer "God" represents the attempt to tame the unfathomable, bizarre mystery of the universe -- to give it a comforting "human" face. (Observation #1603)

I've just been informed by a 'wiser' man that we should not compare Santa Claus with God as Santa is a recent man-made construct created purely for commercial gain.

Oh how I laughed.

Why use the word SIN when the word WRONG is the proper word to use?
EA Miller EA Miller TV Pastor: “Christ will return and rule with the rod of iron!”

Me: “Curious how “iron” is mentioned and not something much stronger such as steel or titanium. It’s almost as if ancient goat herders made up this Christ character.”
EA Miller EA Miller TV Pastor: “I am more concerned with what God thinks about me than what people think about me.”

What I hear: “I am more concerned about what Santa Claus thinks about me than what people think about me.”
Jed King Jed King "The first cruel God who created the first fire of hell should be the first to burn in it"
JED KING 2019.
osirisnut osirisnut The main problem with religions, which they seem not to realise, is that they are the problem.
EA Miller EA Miller TV Pastor: “The word of God is never outdated.”

Me: “Yes, because we still often speak of iron chariots, swords, stoning people, fatted calves, and kings.”

Having too MUCH imagination or too LITTLE imagination will often result in one becoming a religious asshole.
Pat Simons Pat Simons There is no King James version of the Constitution.
EA Miller EA Miller “Organized religions are nothing more than the institutionalizing of ancient superstitions before people could explain natural phenomena. It ensures an income to the operators of the scam and gives its supporters a false sense of higher morality.” -PA

Pat Simons Pat Simons Priests and Shamans, long ago, recognized the power of ritual to overwhelm reason. It still does, and that's why it still exists.

EA Miller EA Miller If you have achieved some success in life and state “I’d like to thank god first and foremost” then you are doing a great disservice to all of those real, flesh and blood human beings who actually helped to get you where you are.
EA Miller EA Miller No new scientific or archaeological discovery ever supports a theistic explanation of anything.
EA Miller EA Miller The day you start believe a god is guiding your life is the day you’ve given up on solving your own problems.
EA Miller EA Miller The TRUE power of prayer...

When I'm thirsty, I go to the fridge and grab a bottle of water.

If I was thirsty, and 1,000,000 god-loving people prayed for a single bottle of water to materialise in my hand, I'd continue to be thirsty.

When the dinosaurs were almost wiped out, the remaining smaller creatures survival evolved into mice which led on to Man.

DNA evidence shows that we still have a lot of mouse DNA in our blood.

Dr. Idel Dreimer Dr. Idel Dreimer Religion represents an early imaginative explanation of the workings of the universe and a powerful tribal glue considered -- usefully -- too "sacred" for criticism. As more facts about the universe have been discovered, a significant dichotomy has appeared -- between the still tribally entranced and the newly freed -- whose thinking has sensibly advanced. (Observation #1886)
EA Miller EA Miller I always get a chuckle when I hear priests and pastors constantly saying things like, "God's word is the same as it has been from the beginning and is never changing." Let's face it, the god of the OT wouldn't even recognize the god in the NT!
EA Miller EA Miller When people need help, I don't pray for them. I actually help them.
sam hass sam hass hope you all doing well in this hard time. please accept my apologies for my English as am trying my best here smilie face anyway I am just a crazy guy who is just curious about everything so now I am in the middle of nowhere with my new research and hope I'll get the answer from you. happiness is what I am trying to search for. It's not the dopamine hormone that I care about its why there is a connection between slow processing in our brains that make laughing easier, I keep looking at little babies laughing at the spoon falling down from the table. At my friends when they are high they look just like they don't care and laughing for nothing, i drink alcohol just to find out where am i . on a scale from 0 to 10 where 0 is no awareness like sleeping and 10 is where am awake having my morning coffee getting ready to work. am not sure but the more I lose it more it's easier not to care and easier to laugh. am Athiest so I hope the answer is according to science. thank you a lot for the amazing effort. Sam.
Pat Simons Pat Simons The worst kind of slavery is that which results from refusing to think for one's self.
Pat Simons Pat Simons If you take away the conjecture, special pleading, and magical thinking, . . . very little remains of Christianity.
EA Miller EA Miller When I hear: "Most religious people are harmless."

My response to that is: "Perhaps, but if religion is replaced at the benign level with science, reason, and humanist ideals, it's far less likely to become malignant at some point in the future."
EA Miller EA Miller By biblical accounts, Jesus was a socialist, middle-eastern hippie with long hair and a robe who advised people to give away their possessions and follow him. That's why I find it quite hypocritical that most Christians would condemn such a person from joining their worship groups and somehow still claim he is their personal savior.
Atheist_King Atheist_King If God is real, then why is cancer? I thought we were his "most beautiful creation"?
Simple Boy Simple Boy Iam an atheist because my immune system said no to this crap.I wasn't convinced by someone to be an atheist and that's why nobody can turn me into a believer of praising rabbi jesus' skirt all day and night in exchange for a favor which i can struggle to get.
