I have been called arrogant myself in my time, and hope to earn the title again, but to claim that I am privy to the secrets of the universe and its creator - that's beyond my conceit. |

The atheist does not say 'there is no God,' but he says 'I know not what you mean by God; I am without idea of God'; the word 'God' is to me a sound conveying no clear or distinct affirmation. ... The Bible God I deny; the Christian God I disbelieve in; but I am not rash enough to say there is no God as long as you tell me you are unprepared to define God to me. |

I have seem even those who have long since abjured God die in grace. . . . Atheists don't use their drying to bargain for a better seat at the table; indeed they may not even believe supper is being served. They are not storing up 'merit.'; They just smile because their heart is ripe. They are kind for no particular reason; they just love. |

If I had a large amount of money I should certainly found a hospital for those whose grip upon the world is so tenuous that they can be severely offended by words and phrases and yet remain all unoffended by the injustice, violence and oppression that howls daily about our ears. |

Anyone who claims, on the one hand, that he is concerned with human welfare, and who demands, on the other hand, that man must suspend or renounce the use of his reason, is contradicting himself. |

Who needs Satan when you have a God like this? |
| Re: Atheist Quotes. by AlfaSeltzer(m): 10:07am On Jun 07, 2013 |
The lack of understanding of something is not evidence for God. It’s evidence of a lack of understanding. And what we should do, if we’re scientists, or anyone, is try and say, “Let’s try and understand it before we go the intellectually lazy route of saying, ‘I don’t understand it, so let me assign it to an entity that I can’t understand, a divine entity beyond my comprehension.’” |

I still say a church with a lightening rod on top shows a lack of confidence. |

Man has never been the same since God died. He has taken it very hard. |
| Re: Atheist Quotes. by AlfaSeltzer(m): 10:09am On Jun 07, 2013 |
Religion is unusual among divisible labels in being spectacularly unnecessary. If religious beliefs had any evidence going for them, we might had to respect them in spite of their concomitant unpleasantness. But there is no such evidence. To label people as death-deserving enemies because of disagreements about real world politics is bad enough. To do the same for disagreements about a delusional world inhabited by archangels, demons and imaginary friends is ludicrously tragic. |

It ain't the parts of the Bible that I can't understand that bother me, it is the parts that I do understand |

God is a comedian playing to an audience too afraid to laugh. |
| Re: Atheist Quotes. by AlfaSeltzer(m): 10:15am On Jun 07, 2013 |
Religion doesn't just cloud our minds. It asks us to deliberately deceive ourselves-- to replace reason with its opposite, faith. And when men operate on faith, they can no longer be reasoned with, which makes them more dangerous than any sane man, good or evil. |

Hey, let's get serious... God knows what he's doin' He wrote this book here And the book says: 'He made us all to be just like Him', So... If we're dumb... Then God is dumb... (And maybe even a little ugly on the side) |

Organizing atheists is like hurding cats |

"to get your proof you need to believe in him" is the same as "buy our product, and you'll realize why you want it" pardon me, but, bullshit. |

If Atheism is a religion, then health is a disease! |
| Re: Atheist Quotes. by AlfaSeltzer(m): 10:19am On Jun 07, 2013 |
The idea that the Christian god is just, is directly contradicted by the idea that the Christian god is merciful. Perfect justice and any mercy are necessarily directly in contradiction, because mercy is a suspension of justice. |

The longer I have been an atheist, the more amazed I am that I ever believed Christian notions. |
| Re: Atheist Quotes. by AlfaSeltzer(m): 10:22am On Jun 07, 2013 |
Although the far territory of the extreme can exert an intoxicating pull on susceptible individuals of all bents, extremism seems to be especially prevalent among those inclined by temperament or upbringing toward religious pursuits. Faith is the very antithesis of reason, injudiciousness a crucial component of spiritual devotion. And when religious fanaticism supplants ratiocination, all bets are suddenly off. |

In the absence of fear there is little faith. |

It's 90 degrees in the shade in jerusalem. Where did noah get two penguins and two polar bears from? |
| Re: Atheist Quotes. by AlfaSeltzer(m): 10:27am On Jun 07, 2013 |
Faith is the surrender of the mind, it's the surrender of reason, it's the surrender of the only thing that makes us different from other animals. It's our need to believe and to surrender our skepticism and our reason, our yearning to discard that and put all our trust or faith in someone or something, that is the sinister thing to me. ... Out of all the virtues, all the supposed virtues, faith must be the most overrated |

You'll never find a dead Christian in a foxhole who didn't pray. |
