The power of god has given men the ability to realize that he does not exist. Andre dos Santos

March 24th
I would argue that those who see god in everything are the ones who have a problem seeing life`s true value. They`re not able to see the enormous beauty in the immense improbability of our very existence. If god created us all for a purpose, we`re just doing a job, pawns in his cosmic game. But if we just happen be be here by random chance, then the lives we have are truly something to value, enjoy, and celebrate. raabco

March 25th

I distrust those people who know so well what God wants them to do because I notice it always coincides with their own desires. Susan B. Anthony

March 27th
People have suffered and become insane for centuries by the thought of eternal punishment after death. Wouldn't it be better to depend on blind matter (...) than by a god who puts out traps for people, invites them to sin, and allows them to sin and commit crimes he could prevent. Only to nally get the barbarian pleasure to punish them in an excessive way, of no use for himself, without them changing their ways and without their example preventing others from committing crimes. Baron d`Holbach

March 28th

All thinking men are atheists. Ernest Hemmingway

March 29th
It seems to me that the idea of a personal God is an anthropological concept which I cannot take seriously. I also cannot imagine some will or goal outside the human sphere. Science has been charged with undermining morality, but the charge is unjust. A mans ethical behavior should be based effectually on sympathy, education, and social ties and needs; no religious basis is necessary. Man would indeed be in a poor way if he had to be restrained by fear of punishment and hope of reward after death. Albert Einstein

March 30th

April 2nd
We are afraid of the known and afraid of the unknown. That is our daily life and in that there is no hope, and therefore every form of philosophy, every form of theological concept, is merely an escape from the actual reality of what is.

April 3rd

April 7th
I think ying planes into a building was a faithbased initiative. I think religion is a neurological disorder. Bill Maher

April 8th
If we go back to the beginning, we shall nd that ignorance and fear created the gods; that fancy, enthusiasm, or deceit adorned them; that weakness worships them; that credulity preserves them and that custom, respect and tyranny support them in order to make the blindness of men serve their own interests. If the ignorance of nature gave birth to gods, the knowledge of nature is calculated to destroy them. Baron DHolbach

April 9th

April 22nd
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 gure there is something wrong here. Donald Morgan

Christianity is the most ridiculous, the most absurd and bloody religion that has ever infected the world. Voltaire

April 24th

April 30th
In dark ages people are best guided by religion, as in a pitch-black night a blind man is the best guide; he knows the roads and paths better than a man who can see. When daylight comes, however, it is foolish to use blind, old men as guides. Heinrich Heine

May 1st
Religion was good for one thing. It provided a reason for humans to have morals, now that we know religion is not that reason, it can go away. Dustin Rgnonti

May 2nd
Which is more offensive? Atheist saying I have no reason for believing in god or a Muslim showing respect for your religion and then worshiping another god? Dustin Rgnonti

May 3rd
Just in terms of allocation of time resources, religion is not very efcient. There`s a lot more I could be doing on a Sunday morning. Bill Gates

May 22nd
If I were not an atheist, I would believe in a God who would choose to save people on the basis of the totality of their lives and not the pattern of their words.

History teaches us that no other cause has brought more death than the word of god. Giulian Buzila

May 30th
People will then often say, But surely its better to remain an Agnostic just in case? This, to me, suggests such a level of silliness and muddle that I usually edge out of the conversation rather than get sucked into it. (If it turns out that Ive been wrong all along, and there is in fact a god, and if it further turned out that this kind of legalistic, cross-your-ngers-behind-your-back, Clintonian hair-splitting impressed him, then I think I would choose not to worship him anyway.)
