| Annoona |
The church likes to make out that it is the sole authority on moral or ethical matters but this is a lie. There is morality which does not depend upon god. Atheists are some of the most moral people I ever met. |

| Michael A. |
We come from darkness and we leave to darkness. God is a simpletons way of escaping that fact. |

I am always amused by Christians who try so very hard to defend their position with reason and logic.They are like standing on top of a ladder with their tools and gadgets,straining their necks looking skywards for the leaks,trying to fix the roof amidst the rain.What they do not realize,of course,is that the roof isn't leaking-it isn't there. |

| Steve Tatner |
Had the world never heard of gods and religion,and the only explanation for our existence was what we had discovered scientifically, If someone then gave us the bible version of events as the reason for our being, that person would be invited to visit an instituion for the insane.. |

Isn’t it enough to see that a garden is beautiful without having to believe that there are fairies at the bottom of it too? |

| Jay Lacy |
Why is it that when talking about the dating of fossils, Christians have the audacity to call the scientist's methods flawed, when the Christian's methods include clasping their hands together and talking to themselves... |

I would rather celebrate the real life we have in the here and now, than look forward to some imaginary life we won't have after we die. |

An Atheist is someone who has no belief in a god or gods. It is not specified in which god or gods. Therefore, you could argue that most Theists are also Atheists. Go ahead and ask a Christian if they believe in Zeus. When they say "No", you can say "Congratulations, you are an Atheist." Then watch in amusement as they get their undies in a bunch over that one. :) |

It's reckoned that most theist's have it that although there may be many religions, there's only the ONE god. THEIRS I presume. |

Humans are the original stupid fools, & they only deceive themselves with blind faith or belief in a god being and so called religion. Apes & chimps don't have such pretensions yet share 98.9% of our DNA. |

I hear that atheists are "selfish", "joyless", "smug", "arrogant", "boring"... what, all of us? These critcisms would never be made of all non-believers of anything else. THe biggest problem for atheissm is that someone invented a word for it. |

It's a lucky thing we weren't created in the image of God or else we wouldn't exist. |
|
| Felix Benito |
Religion is a mental condition easily treated with a small dose of science. Double it if at first it doesn’t work . Double it again and again if necessary: it will eventually. |

Bible (noun) - a collection of myths wrapped in a coccoon of fairy tales |
|
| Stephen Harris |
If we accept that it was god designed my body and made me the way that I am and if we also accept that the pope is God's representative on earth, then can I sue the Vatican over my dodgy knees? |

Reality is something that when you stop believing in it, it does not desappear. |
|
| Ungodly |
You cannot test that which is irrational, there are no tests for that which does not exsist. Thats precisely why the faithful don't like to be tested. God makes no sense. |

Imagine for one moment that the bible didn't exist. Imagine some aspiring author writing it today.
I have a theory that if that old testament bible was offered up by some unknown writer for publication today, it just wouldn't get past the censors on a number of counts.
Too much cruelty. Few (if any) believable characters. Too much gratuitous sex and violence. sodomy, incest and paedophilia. No real story line. No feasible beginning, lax plots and continuity in the middle, and an end that's left to the reader to decide.
The type would have to be unreadably small as well. If the typeset is any bigger, no one would is be able to pick it up. That's probably why early editions had to be housed in specially constructed buildings. |

I cannot believe in a God who wants to be praised all the time. |

FAITH - Feeble Answers for Idiots, Tyrants and Hypocrites |
|
| John Burroughs |
Science has done more for the development of western civilization in one hundred years than Christianity did in eighteen hundred years. |
|
| Isaac Asimov |
To rebel against a powerful political, economic, religious, or social establishment is very dangerous and very few people do it, except, perhaps, as part of a mob. To rebel against the scientific establishment, however, is the easiest thing in the world, and anyone can do it and feel enormously brave, without risking as much as a hangnail. Thus, the vast majority, who believe in astrology and think that the planets have nothing better to do than form a code that will tell them whether tomorrow is a good day to close a business deal or not, become all the more excited and enthusiastic about the bilge when a group of astronomers denounces it. |

There is more evidence for King Arthur than there is for Jesus. As for the bible, it's only widespread because it coincided with global imperialism and the printing press. Apart from that it contains nothing original or significant. |

The Holy Bible has flourished into becoming the best selling book in promoting one of the most popular religions the world has ever known while at the same time contradicting scientific fact.
How come they can pick or choose to ignore scientific fact when it pleases them?
It's hypocrisy such as this that perpetuates lies and even DAMN LIES that are at the root of ALL religion.

I do not intend to tiptoe through life only to arrive safely at death. |
|
| Stephen Hawking |
The intelligent beings in these regions should therefore not be surprised if they observe that their locality in the universe satisfies the conditions that are necessary for their existence. It is a bit like a rich person living in a wealthy neighborhood not seeing any poverty. |

| Keith Doyle |
Evolution does not require the nonexistence of God, it merely allows for it. That alone is enough to evoke condemnation from those who fear the nonexistence of God more than they fear God Himself. |

Atheism summed up in two sentences: Life is incredibly rare and we are all very lucky to exist, even for a short time. Shame about all these loonies we have to tolerate who don't like the real world. |
|

The bible summed up in two sentences: Some invisible guy gave us free will and we used it, which pissed him off. Now kneel down and feel like shit about it or you can go to hell (P.S. he loves you). |

Freedom to practice religion is not a right to inflict it on everyone |
|
| Prof Uri Nassol |
After many years studying the works of the great philosophers, studying theology to the highest level and consulting religious leaders from every major faith I have to say I disagree. Bollocks are a lot more useful than religion. |

Why don't religious people just believe in Lord of the Rings? It's much more plausible and Gandalf does some much better magic tricks. Plus, it's much less far-fetched and with the coolest promo movies! |

Theist to atheist: "Life has no meaning if death is the end... I might as well be DEAD!"
Atheist reply: "Death has no meaning because it's the end of life... so you might as well LIVE!" |

A religion is a belief which leaves no place for knowledge and reasoning. |

If god made us, he must have given us hormones... right? So why get the hump with is for being unable to resist urges that HE gave us in the first place? |

God becomes our security, and when the mind is secure it is in decay. |
|

Prof.Uri Nassol |
All tribal cultures have their own religions. Just like ours, they're reinforced by drug or trance-induced "visions", in-group identity issues and an inability to understand or accept death, suffering and the workings of natural forces. |

In the beginning, the universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and widely been regarded as a bad move. |

| Baron von Knifty |
When will it sink in with you religious that with all the billions of prayers, wishes, chanting, bead-rubbing and hosannas carried out every day around the world, the horrible stuff is still with us? |
|
| Baron von Knifty |
If it’s so damn easy for the church to find miracles everywhere then why is it so difficult for them to give me viable physical evidence of their supposed god or Jesus?

An impoverished, foreign occupied, unlearned, superstitious people whose only means of (mis)communication was by word of mouth, delivered the message of Jesus. Which may well have begun as someones failed attempt to pass on a joke among ancient Sephardic Jews. |

The question will soon be, whether enslaved minds, living in abject fear, convinced of perpetual vigilance and eternal torture, can be liberated rationally, and if not, how can we best mitigate the damage of the irrational among us without violating their natural rights in the manner they violated our own. |
