atheist quote	context
Biblical stories scream for the preface, "Once upon a time...",		13
Reason alone has delivered us from the ages of darkness, has transformed mankind with knowledge and enlightenment, and has given us a universe to explore.		8
We should stop lying to our children and thereby break the generational trap of religious addiction, which is being perpetuated by the systematic psychological abuse of children.		7
Gullibility and fear are a match made in heaven.		7
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.		6
Why does your perfect God seem to have a multiple personality disorder?		6
Were you raised by rational atheists, you would know there is no need to numb your mind for a life of despair and pain as you dream of promised, unseen rewards. Science has given us a new world that is simply too amazing, and too beautiful, to continue to ignore.		6
Come now, let us reason together say the wise; though your questions be complex, they shall be reasons for study; though the answers may be unknown today, they shall be known in time.		6
Claiming darkness is light,drinking blood, human sacrifice, cannibalism, mutilation of children, animal sacrifice, ritual torture... These are the people who wish to save us all from the sins of eating well, or admiring someone we find attractive.		6
Know that we live in a natural world and that mother nature herself is our creator. Accept with certainty the falsifiability of these things, as with many others which you will find you have been beguiled.		6
Faith holds the mind prisoner behind bars which are unseen, yet stronger than steel.		6
Historical inaccuracies are common in the Bible, but the tall tale about why they went to Bethlehem is enough to even make a Texan blush.		5
Men of faith, why stand mouths agape gazing into the sky? Jesus, who you believe was taken from you into heaven, was not real. You have been deceived, for like all other gods and sons of gods, your God is a myth.		5
Education is the genesis of understanding, but both fools and those of faith fear knowledge, ignore true, shun the wise and despise reason, for any one of these will shatter their cherished dreams and expose their grand delusions.		5
One who chooses to reject science with a closed mind, resigns oneself to ignorance and ridicule. One who accepts science with an open mind, will not only share the exhilaration of discovery, but inherit a universe to explore.		5
We know much of the universe, which we have been taught. It is only through the eye of science we can see with our own eyes, and touch with our own hands, and learn new things -- this we demonstrate through empiricism.		4
Being wished peace by one of the two most brutal, genocidal, murderous, warmongering, hate provoking, immoral and irrecoverably hard headed religious dogmas man has ever unleashed on himself is rather ironic, don't you think?		4
Science has achieved, and continues to achieve, immeasurably more than we can imagine. It has given us the knowledge to control our own lives, and the very destiny of our own species.		3
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.		3
Have you ever noticed God loves you just the way you are, but Jesus wants to fix you?		3
Christians will always be astonished by me. I am transgender and I have committed all the sins they can imagine, both as a man, and as a woman.		3
We should give Christians credit where credit is due. Patiently remaining faithful, staring at the clouds for 2,000 years, waiting for their promises to just fall out of the sky, they must be considered at least as patient as they are gullible.		3
I can only offer my steadfast assurance based upon the sciences, from dissecting a single photon to measuring the width of our universe, that all religion is twaddle.		3
If you are willing and curious, the door of understanding will be open to you, but if you close your mind and shut your eyes, you will be consumed by ignorance; the mind cannot grow in darkness.		3
As a possessor of knowledge, use it with acuity; for knowledge in the absence of reason is vile.		3
If a man seems religious, heed not his advice nor seek his consult, for he has deceived his own mind through faith and will readily attempt to deceive yours. His faith is as any other, goofy.		3
It is to meet another rational mind which brings us joy, and we are cheerful, for this is our brother or sister; born of the same mother, nature herself.		3
