atheist quote	context
Never take life too seriously. After all, life doesn't seem to be taking you too seriously, does it?		1 36
Don't ask "What is the meaning of life?". Just ask "Does life have to have a meaning in order for me to live it?"		2 35
Why fear death? It's a lot less scary than life!		1 24
Theism is like wearing a blindfold, whereas atheism is realizing you're wearing a blindfold and removing it. Coping with what you see once the blindfold is off is where things get REALLY interesting.		1 21
Child: "Daddy, is nanny in heaven with god?" Theist answer "Yes, she's watching over us and we'll see her again one day" Atheist answer "No, nanny is gone forever. But we'll always remember her, the love she gave us and what she taught us" Which answer is better for the child?		18
Pretend for a minute there is a heaven... Following a nuclear holocaust billions of people turn up to spend eternity in paradise. Then what? Would they get jobs, maybe some hobbies to pass the time? Or would they just have to spend eternity massaging god's ego telling him how great he is? A limit to our existence is the only thing that gives life true meaning.		18
The Bible... fails to point out that slavery, child abuse and rape are bad things. But it did help mankind to abstain from picking up sticks on Saturdays.		16
Abu Hamza following the shuttle disaster which killed seven american astronauts:"It is God's punishment". Abu Hamza following the Iranian earthquake which killed 15,000 muslims "It is God's will". Religion lowers your tolerance levels so you accept all manner of stupidity.		15
Men fear death as children fear to go in the dark; and as that natural fear in children is increased by tales, so is the other.		1 12
Just because you want it to be true, doesn't mean it is. Just because billions believe, doesn't mean they should. Oh, and just because the truth hurts doesn't stop it being true!		9
In the beginning god said "It's SO boring being alone... I think I'll make a new toy... and make it a nice place to live. Hang on, why not have some fun! I'll make lots of rules it can never keep... make sure it can't prove I exist but then expect it to believe in me without any evidence... oh, and it has to worship me forever saying how great I am! This is going to be FUN!!! Oh, and if it doesn't believe in me I'll sulk and send it to some ghastly place to suffer for eternity. Hang on... this is all a bit sick, maybe I need therapy...		1 11
If we are going to teach creation science as an alternative to evolution, then we should also teach the stork theory as an alternative to reproduction.		8
All religions ultimately stem from an inability to comprehend mortality. Theism is seeking comfort from an imaginary father-figure. Atheism demands the removal of comfort-seeking and replaces it with fact-seeking.		8
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.		6
Blessed are the carpenters... by the way, does anybody want to buy a chair?		2 10
The universe was here long before us. It will still be here long after us. To me, that is the real beauty of life, not the horror of it.		2 9
From my rotting body, flowers shall grow and I am in them and that is eternity.		1 6
As a Christian I have no duty to allow myself to be cheated, but I have a duty to be a fighter for truth and justice. I believe today that my conduct is in accordance with the will of the Almighty Creator. Who says I am not under the special protection of God?		3
If god made us in his own image, does that mean he has a coccyx too? If so, which mammal did he evolve from? Oh, and does he have a belly button? If so, where is his mother? If he has no belly button does he at least have a penis? If so, what does he use it for? Does god have an anus? Maybe that's where us atheists came from...		3
Religion is a state of mind. Or should I say a mind in a state.		3
The miracle isn't that any god made us. The miracle is that natural selection works so beautifully without supernatural guidance.		3
Theists cling to the delusion that they are immortal. For theists the whole universe revolves around the needs of a single species of highly evolved apes. Atheists know they are mortal because they aren't afraid of the truth.		3
As anyone who has raised children knows, there are ways to get them to be good without beating them. Why hasn't god enough intelligence to get us to be good without threatening us? Human beings do not need an incentive to be good. Well, apparently theists do.		1 5
If I marry and my wife dies before me and her dying breath is a promise we'll be together in heaven, I will see her again right? If I remarry and the same thing happens, when I get to heaven I'll see them both again, right? Will I then be a bigamist? Will I get kicked out of heaven and sent to hell for bigamy? Can I at least have a threesome before I go!!!		1 5
As a pest control officer I can tell you that rats and mice evolve resistance to our poisons on a fairly regular basis. The little sods also evolve ingenious ways of getting the food they need. They will be around long after we've all been blown up whilst arguing over who has the best imaginary friend.		1 4
The only thing that really matters in your life are the consequences of it. So live for now and for the good of people around you... not some imaginary afterlife.		3 7
A religious person cannot find truth for the same reason a burglar cannot find a policeman. Truth kills faith. Faith feeds on delusion. If the truth seems unpalatable, change the way you perceive it...		1 3
The gun is against your head and you are about to die. The survival instinct kicks in and you feel absolute terror. What if the gun is against your loved one's head? Your heart is pounding as despair washes over you. NO!!! This is unbearable... what to do? There can only be 2 very basic choices: 1) Pretend the world isn't really the way it is by deluding yourself death is not the end... 2) Try to change the way you think so you still see the beauty in life even when it seems unbearable...		1
Religion attempts to answer the question "What is the point of it all?". The trouble is, the answers it provides seem to have sprung from the minds of pre-school children with over-active imaginations.		1
