Any belief worth having must survive doubt.

Several thousand years ago, a small tribe of ignorant near-savages wrote various collections of myths, wild tales, lies, and gibberish. Over the centuries, these stories were embroidered, garbled, mutilated, and torn into small pieces that were then repeatedly shuffled. Finally, this material was badly translated into several languages successively. The resultant text, creationists feel, is the best guide to this complex and technical subject.

There are none more ignorant and useless, than they that seek answers on their knees, with their eyes closed.

I'm sickened by all religions. Religion has divided people. I don't think there's 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.

Uyi Iredia: This is the religion section. Is atheism a religion ? If no, why create atheist threads in a thread for religion ?

Where should we create atheist threads?

I see Atheists are fighting and killing each other again, over who doesn't believe in any God the most. Oh, no..wait.. that never happens.

Obsoletes and absolutes are the stock in trade of religions that place their faith in an 'unchanging' god while faced with the reality of an ever-changing world.

If we subject religious claims to a lesser degree of scrutiny, we should not be surprised if religious people subject us to a greater degree of servitude.

A tyrant must put on the appearance of uncommon devotion to religion. Subjects are less apprehensive of illegal treatment from a ruler whom they consider god-fearing and pious. On the other hand, they do less easily move against him, believing that he has the gods on his side

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 most dangerous aspect of religion is its tendency to glorify the absurd and justify the abhorrent.

Nonbelievers are not anti-religious, they are anti-fraud and anti-deception.

No. Just sorting the chaff from the hay. You know, showing up the wolves in sheep clothing.

Religion is to comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable

Since it is obviously inconceivable that all religions can be right, the most reasonable conclusion is that they are all wrong.

I am not sure how evil religion by nature is, but I have no doubt of its stupidity and insanity in practice.

In the aftermath of the recent wave action in the Indian Ocean, even the archbishop of Canterbury, Dr. Rowan Williamson, proved himself a latter-day Voltairean by whimpering that he could see how this might shake belief in a friendly creator. Williamson is of course a notorious fool, who does an almost perfect imitation of a bleating and frightened sheep, but even so, one is forced to rub one's eyes in astonishment. Is it possible that a grown man could live so long and still have his personal composure, not to mention his lifetime job description, upset by a large ripple of seawater?
