THE THINKING MAN'S CATECHISM Q What is Christianity? A An outrageously preposterous collection of unfounded claims. Q Where did these preposterous and unfounded claims come from? A They were made up by a small group of primitive men in the eastern Mediterranean region about 1700 years ago. Q Why do so many people today say they believe in these preposterous and unfounded claims? A They want to.		19
It should be illegal to threaten a 7 year old child with eternal torture.		9
Do you really think there's a big invisible GOD in the sky who wants to keep millions of relatively ignorant primates as pets for eternity?????		9
According to Christianity, the only way GOD could satisfy his own system of justice was to torture and crucify HIMSELF !!! Are you serious??!!!!!! This is utterly ludicrous. If you are going to fabricate a mythology you could at least come up with something that has at least a small shred of credibility.		8
Nowhere in the bible is there a physical description of Jesus .......		1 10
Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach a man to fish and he will eat for a lifetime. Give a man a religion and he will die of starvation while praying for a fish. Unknown		7
The catholic church has always had the insidious practice of associating an elementary school with a parish church. This allows them to begin indoctrinating the children at a very young age when they are virtually defenseless.		6
TRAVELER: God sure has been good to your fields, Mr. Farmer. FARMER: You should see how he treated them when I wasn't around. Unknown		6
It should be a felony to threaten a seven year old child with eternal torture in fire.		6
Hell is nothing more than a cruel, vicious control mechanism fabricated by evil, power hungry men.		6
I'm sickened by all religions. I don't think there is any difference between the pope wearing a large hat and parading around with a smoking purse and an African painting his face white and praying to a rock. Howard Stern, highly paid Jewish radio personality. 2007 (There must be a meaning in there somewhere.)		5
If the bible were a communication from some kind of GOD, then that GOD should get an F minus in communication skills.		5
The catholic church is like a man who walks up to you and makes a long series of preposterous statements. He then puts a gun to your head and says "Believe every one of these statements or I'll kill you." Roger Phillips (Former Jesuit seminarian)		4
If you would like an exercise in absurdity, try imagining exactly what a "heaven" would be like.		4
Human beings absolutely love to have power over other human beings. The traditional way to have power over other human beings is through war and conquest. A much easier and safer way to gain power over other people is by founding a religion.		1 6
In my opinion the catholic pope is the most extreme dictator in the history of mankind. Here are some of my reasons: 1) He thinks he is INFALLIBLE. 2) He issues dictates telling people WHAT THEY MUST BELIEVE and HOW THEY MUST LIVE. 3) According to catholic "morality" if anyone rejects even one of the pope's dictates in matters of faith and morals, they will be not merely executed, they will be TORTURED IN FIRE FOR ETERNITY. Thus,in my opinion Stalin, Hitler and Mao were not even in the same league as the pope as extreme dictators.		3
Life is like a poor player that struts and frets his hour upon the stage. In a tale full of sound and fury - signifying nothing. William Shakespear, legendary play write and poet 1600		3
If someone wanted to destroy the catholic church their first objective should be to destroy the catholic elementary schools. Under the guise of providing a general education the catholic elementary schools gain control of 6, 7, and 8 year old children and terrorize them with the threat of eternal torture in fire if they do not obey every single dictate of the catholic church. This is very powerful indoctrination. This is where the great majority of people today who call themselves catholic got their start. (And they are still afraid today to say they are not catholic.)		3
I wanted to become an atheist, but I gave it up. They have no holidays. Henny Youngman		3
Religion, what a medieval idea. Aaaaah.......Don't get me started. Phyllis Diller		3
catholicism is the most extreme and the most powerful control mechanism ever devised by man.		3
The deeply, deeply schizophrenic God that has been fabricated by the catholic church is nothing more than a powerful control mechanism used alternately to entice and terrorize followers into complete submission to the catholic church.		2
If there were an all powerful GOD who wanted some kind of relationship with the human race, i.e. a religion, He could very easily and clearly communicate that to them. For example,He could appear simultaneously all over the world as a mile high, brightly lighted figure and speak to each nationality in their own language. He could do this on the 1st of each month explaining the type of relationship He would like with the people of the earth. What do we actually have in the way of communications? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING - JUST A BIG VACUUM IN THE SKY.		2
In the time period 1000 BCE to 700 CE the human race had just the right combination of literary ability and ignorance about the world to produce many, many written accounts of fantastic mythologies - some of which have come down to us today as religions.		2
The concepts of a benevolent Father God, a loving redeemer God and eternal happiness are very appealing. That is why they have captured so many ignorant/superficial/self deluded people.		2
In order to impose their fantasies on others, religious groups use all their persuasive powers to transform gullibility into a virtue which they call "faith".		1
Men are idolaters and want something to look at and kiss, or throw themselves down before. They always did and they always will. (Oliver Wendell Holmes, physician, Harvard professor, possessor of a huge ego and three names - would not throw himself down before anyone. 1890)		1
catholicism is a fart in the wind islam is a fart in the wind buddhism is a beautiful fragrance in the wind Objective examination of these religions, however, has shown that none of them has any validity whatsoever. Needless to say all the thousands of smaller groups that have split off form these major religions are equally invalid. All these religions simply manifest the desperate need for people of ancient times to have some kind of religion.		1 3
The catholic church is like a man who walks up to you, puts a gun to your head and says, "Believe everything I tell you or I'll kill you".		1 2
