Religion has actually convinced people that there's an invisible man, who watches everything you do, every minute of every day. And the invisible man has a special list of ten things he does not want you to do..If you do any of these ten things, he has a special place, full of fire, smoke, torture and anguish, where he will send you to live, suffer, and cry forever 'til the end of time! ..But He loves you

An atheist is a man who has no invisible means of support.

A direct quote from the bible: Look it up for yourself in Numbers 31:17-18

"Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him. But all the women children, that have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves."

So, basically, kill everything; except for the little girls, who you can keep for yourself as a ********.

And you want me to worship this guy?

Eskimo: "If I did not know about God and sin, would I go to hell?" Priest: "No, not if you did not know." Eskimo: "Then why did you tell me?


Jesus' last words on the cross, "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?" hardly seem like the words of a man who planned it that way. It doesn't take Sherlock Holmes to figure there is something wrong here.

God: *silence*

If god created my brain I'm certain he approves of its usage.

If all exclusive religions are right and everyone else is wrong, isn't everyone just wrong?

A good king inspires loyalty. An evil tyrant demands blind obediance. A good king allows those who do not want to serve him leave in peace. An evil tyrant kills and tortures those who will not be slaves. This is why I could never be christian.

In Christianity neither morality nor religion come into contact with reality at any point

How difficult would it be for 11 men to hang a traitor, move a boulder, remove a body, and replace said boulder within a period of three days?

As far as I can tell from studying the scriptures, all you do in heaven is pretty much just sit around all day and praise the Lord. I don't know about you, but I think that after the first, oh, I don't know, 50,000,000 years of that I'd start to get a little bored.

Life is a vacation from two eternities, who wants to waste those precious years worrying about what happens when you get back to forever?

The God of the Old Testament is arguably the most unpleasant character in all fiction: jealous and proud of it; a petty, unjust, unforgiving control-freak; a vindictive, bloodthirsty ethnic cleanser; a misogynistic, homophobic, racist, infanticide, genocidal, filicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal, sadomasochistic, capriciously malevolent bully.

He who says "The United States is a Christian nation founded upon Christian principles and beliefs" is woefully ignorant of history. The United States was founded by Deists, and the puritan settlers were but one immigrant group among many.

Theists should never complain no matter what happens in the world because nothing happens without the almighty's will. So if I break your head, murder your kin, dont blame me. God let me to do it.

There must be Religion. Otherwise the poor would murder the rich.

Its 90 degrees in the shade in jerusalem.. where did noah get two penguins and two polar bears from?

I refuse to believe in a god that would send me to hell just for not believing in him.

"Who created god? If your answer is he always was, then why can't you say the same for the universe?"

A mind is like a parachute. It doesnt work if it not open.

Prayers never bring anything... They may bring solace to the sap, the bigot, the ignorant, the aboriginal, and the lazy - but to the enlightened it is the same as asking Santa Claus to bring you something for Xmas

They said God was on high and he controlled the world and therefore we must pray against Satan. Well, if God controls the world, he controls Satan. For me, religion was full of misstatements and reaches of logic that I just couldn't agree with

God should be executed for crimes against humanity.

If God gave us free will, why does religion take it away?

He said he didn't believe in evolution to which I giggled until I realized he was serious. I asked "So what are your thoughts on gravity?"
