All are welcome to post comments, atheists, agnostics and theists.
About Me:
What is an atheist? one who disbelieves in a god or gods and the supernatural. And everything related; angels, ghosts, spirits, demons, wizards, heaven, hell, the afterlife etc. basically atheism totally sets the mind free from any form of theism/superstition.
SOME FAVORITE ATHEIST QUOTES:
Steven Weinberg:
" Religion is an insult to human dignity. With or without it you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion "
H L Mencken:
" The way to deal with superstition is not to be polite to it, but to tackle it with all arms, and so rout it, cripple it, and make it forever infamous and ridiculous "
" The truth is that Christian theology, like every other theology, is not only opposed to the scientific spirit; it is also opposed to all other attempts at rational thinking. Not by accident does Genesis 3 make the father of knowledge a serpent -- slimy, sneaking and abominable. "
" Faith may be defined briefly as an illogical belief in the occurrence of the improbable.... A man full of faith is simply one who has lost (or never had) the capacity for clear and realistic thought. He is not a mere ass: he is actually ill."
Robert Ingersoll:
" Miracles are not simply impossible, but they are unthinkable by any man capable of thinking."
" Ignorance is the soil in which miracles grow "
" Pious ignorance always regards intelligence as a kind of blasphemy. "
" I do not consider it a very important question whether Christ was the Son of God or not. After all, what difference does it make? If he never existed, we are under the same obligation to do what we believe is right; and believing that he was the Son of God or disbelieving it, is of no earthly importance. If we are ever judged at all it will be by our actions, and not by our beliefs. If Christ was good enough to die for me, he certainly will not be bad enough to damn me for honestly failing to believe in his divinity. "
Strange! that no one has ever been persecuted by the church for believing God bad, while hundreds of millions have been destroyed for thinking him good. The orthodox church will never forgive the Universalist for saying, "God is love." It has always been considered one of the very highest evidences of true and undefiled religion that all men, women and children deserve eternal damnation. It has always been heresy to say, "God will at last save all."
" Those who have loved God most have loved men least. "
" Science built the Academy, superstition the inquisition. "
"Orthodoxy cannot afford to put out the fires of hell."
On The Christian Nation Myth by Robert Ingersoll:
" It is contended by many that ours is a Christian government, founded upon the Bible, and that all who look upon the book as false or foolish are destroying the foundation of our country. The truth is, our government is not founded upon the rights of gods, but upon the rights of men. Our Constitution was framed, not to declare and uphold the deity of Christ, but the sacredness of humanity. Ours is the first government made by the people and for the people. It is the only nation with which the gods have had nothing to do. And yet there are some judges dishonest and cowardly enough to solemnly decide that this is a Christian country, and that our free institutions are based upon the infamous laws of Jehovah. "
" The doctrine that future happiness depends upon belief is monstrous. It is the infamy of infamies. The notion that faith in Christ is to be rewarded by an eternity of bliss, while a dependence upon reason, observation and experience merits everlasting pain, is too absurd for refutation, and can be relieved only by that unhappy mixture of insanity and ignorance, called faith "
Dan Barker:
" Faith is a cop-out. It is intellectual bankruptcy. If the only way you can accept an assertion is by faith, then you are conceding that it can't be taken on its own merits "
" If the Prodigal Son's a parable, and if Adam and Eve are metaphors, then maybe God is just figure of speech "
" You keep accusing me of blasphemy all of the time, but I cannot be convicted of a victimless crime "
Nogogma:
" Christians say they dont have enough faith to be an atheist but I say that it doesnt take faith to be an atheist, it just takes a small dose of common sense, apply another dose of reason and logic followed by an ounce of intellectual honesty and before you know it, youre an atheist. "
Atheism is just simply being honest about reality; there is nothing supernatural about life. It's just natural.
Hometown:
Newark, N.J.
Country:
United States
Interests:
Debunking Christianity and fundamentalist religion in general. I make it a habit of challenging believers at every possible opportunity. I feel that religion does not deserve the respect it has been given for so long. My challenge to every believer on YT is to prove that Christianity is fact. Don't just tell me to have faith because that doesn't prove a damn thing other then how gullible you are. Faith is not virtuous by any logical means whatsoever.
Movies:
"The God Who Wasn't There" by Brian Flemming;I also enjoy westerns, sci-fi, action movies, mysteries, happy endings ...
Music:
Rock, Jazz, Electronic, Techno, some country instrumental, classical, some hard rock, 70's rock, Dr. John, Queen, Led Zeppelin, Steve Miller Band, Beatles, Billy Joel, AC/DC, Frank Zappa,
Books:
Losing Faith in Faith by Dan Barker, The God Delusion by Richard Dawkins, The End of Faith by Sam Harris, The Immorality of Christianity by G. James Stewart, e-book,Freethinkers by Susan Jacoby; I have also read many books by Christian authors in the past during the years I was a fundamentalist Christian, AW Tozer, Hal Lindsey, Charles Swindoll and many others. So I know where Christians are coming from when they try to use their only weapon of defense called Apologetics. To me it is nothing more than there desperate attempts at defending troublesome bible verses that are loaded with many contradictions and absurdities. In short, apologetics is there excuse for defending a book that is nothing more than a primitive relic that is intellectually bankrupt of any level of reason whatsoever. It is a book about a religion called Christianity that should be considered primitive mythology and placed on all the fictional bookshelves of all book stores and libraries worldwide. If it is taken literally as truth and fact, it can be very harmful and dangerous to a society as it has already proven to do so.
