Recently, a TV Pastor said, "The problem is that people are confusing the Jesus of their imagination with the Jesus in the Bible."
The moment I heard this ridiculous comment I wanted to reply, "Dude, I hate to break it to you, but they're one in the same!"

no matter how important a deed might seem, if you believe you are doing it with a pure heart, and you are also doing it for the Lord, you are not doing it with a pure heart. - Ralph Metusi |

If Christians really adhered to the Bible quote "The truth shall make you free" (John 8:32 KJV), they'd be cracking open a science book a lot more often. The fact that they shun science to preserve their beliefs should tell anyone what they really think about the truth. |

Humanity (An atheist's perspective)
A spec upon a spec upon a spec
In a vast universe, it would seem irrelevant
Like the amoeba, only visible through a microscope
Yet this minute particle produces wondrous things
Ingenious inventions, literature, breath-taking works of art
Regrettably, it also yields the narrow-mindedness of religion
Personally I'm rooting for the tiny spec to make it
Though without science and reason in charge
Antiquated superstition may be the means to its end

Thomas Jefferson |
"Question with boldness even the existence of God; because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason than that of blindfolded fear." |

"If this is your god, he's not very impressive. He has so many psychological problems; he's insecure. he demands worship every 7 days. He goes out and creates faulty humans and then blames them for his mistakes. He's a poor excuse for a supreme being."

It is always better to have no ideas than false ones; to believe nothing, than to believe what is wrong. |

Religion bases much of its success on the fact it is far easier to fool someone, than it is to convince that person they've been fooled. |

Our explanations of the natural world are far more important than the nature of the world they describe. The Gods and religions we choose, the scientific hypotheses we test; their specifics are critical. Why? Because our beliefs define our ability to grow and change. Select them carefully my friend, because they are the door through which you encounter your destiny. Process is Product. - Enoch’s Thread

Question: If a tree falls in the forest with no one there to hear it, does it still make a sound?

Question: Does wishing thinking and prayer bring fictional gods from ancient texts to life?
Answer: No. There are no contemporary historical accounts or tangible evidence such beings have ever existed.

We would be 1,500 years ahead if it hadn't been for the church dragging science back by its coattails and burning our best minds at the stake |

Religion is man-made to assist in controlling the weak minded individuals because during times of atrocity and despair they feel strength in numbers |

Anthony W. Allsop (Genesis) (admin) |
If one is NOT prepared to follow fully the doctrine of one's chosen religion, then one is NOT wholly faithful to one's chosen religion.
In other words, one is little or no different to the atheists. |

I often get letters, quite frequently, from people who say how they like the programs a lot, but I never give credit to the almighty power that created nature, to which I reply and say, "Well, it's funny that the people, when they say that this is of the almighty, always quote beautiful things, they always quote orchids and hummingbirds and butterflies and roses." But I always have to think too of a little boy sitting on the banks of a river in west Africa who has a worm boring through his eyeball, turning him blind before he's five years old, and I reply and say, "Well presumably the god you speak about created the worm as well," and now, I find that baffling to credit a merciful god with that action, and therefore it seems to me safer to show things that I know to be truth, truthful and factual, and allow people to make up their own minds about the moralities of this thing, or indeed the theology of this thing." |

There is infinitely more chance of humans meeting extraterrestrials than there is chance of humans meeting any god.

Today's wars are not about good vs. bad--they are about *your* good vs. my good. Religion is perhaps the most potent meme that creates, fosters and justifies these divisions. |

| Geoff Mather |
It's a pity Jesus remained so silent before his accusers. He could have said: "Oh, by the way guys, no-one should ever kill, torture, maim, burn alive or commit genocide in my name." If he'd been a god he could have saved us all a lot of pain. |

If there's a catastrophe and modern civilisation gets erased, I bet in a few thousand years some prat will find a copy of Lord of the Rings and everyone'll start worshipping Gandalf. |

Robert G. Ingersoll |
Religion supports nobody. It has to be supported. It produces no wheat, no corn; it ploughs no land; it fells no forests. It is a perpetual mendicant. It lives on the labors of others, and then has the arrogance to pretend that it supports the giver. |

| Baron von Knifty |
If money could be made in not believing in god, you'd see millions and millions of born-again atheists.

Some of the nicest, most caring people I've met have been religious - from all sorts of different but incompatible creeds. I don't hate them. I just hate the sad facts that they are wrong, they waste their own time, and they want to grab my kids. |
