Religion has actually convinced people that
there's an invisible man living in the sky who watches everything you do,
every minute of every day. And the invisible man has a special list of
10 things he does not want you to do. And if you do any of these 10 things
he has a special place full of fire and smoke and burning and torture and
anguish where he will send you to live and suffer and burn and choke and
scFream and cry for ever and ever until the end of time...but he loves
you. ~ George Carlin

Simple molecules combine to make powerful
chemicals. Simple cells combine to make powerful life-forms. Simple electronics
combine to make powerful computers. Logically, all things are created by
a combination of simpler, less capable components. Therefore, a supreme
being must be our future, not our origin!~ from his Dilbert comic strip
Nothing defines humans better than their willingness
to do irrational things in the pursuit of phenomenally unlucky payoffs.
This is the principle of lotteries, dating and religion.

If you pray for rain long enough, it eventually
does fall. If you pray for floodwaters to abate, they eventually
do. The same happens in the absence of prayers.
No actual tyrant known to history has ever been

If it turns out that there is a God, I don't think that he's evil. But
the worst that you can say about him is that basically he's an underachiever.

If there really is a God who created the entire
universe with all of its glories, and He decides to deliver a message to
humanity, He will not use, as His messenger, a person on cable TV with
a bad hairstyle.
The problem with writing about religion is that you run the risk of

The Vatican is against surrogate mothers. Good

Marlon Brando ~ refusing to recite a religious
oath while testifying at his son Christian's trial, 1990
I will not swear on God. I will not swear on
God, because I don't believe in the conceptual sense and in this nonsense.
What I will swear on is my children and my grandchildren.
A. Whitney Brown
Once again decent citizens will be able to enter
this house of worship, kneel down in front of a nearly-naked man hanging
from a wooden apparatus by a series of gruesome body piercings, and engage
in their bizarre practices of ritualized blood-drinking and cannibalism
without being assaulted by graphic images of attractive young women with
bare breasts. - A. Whitney Brown, "The Daily Show" on Comedy Central
Richard Burton ~ Welsh actor (1925-1984)
The more I read about man and his maniacal ruthlessness
and his murderous envious scatological soul, the more I realize that he
will never change. Our stupidity is immortal, nothing will change it. The
same mistakes, the same prejudices, the same injustice, the same lusts
wheel endlessly around the parade ground of the centuries. Immutable and
ineluctable. I wish I could believe in a god of some kind but I simply
cannot.
George Bush, Sr.
I don't know that atheists should be considered

L. Sprague de Camp
It does not pay a prophet to be too specific.
George Carlin
When it comes to believing in God, I really, really tried . . . but
. . . the more you look around, the more you realize . . . something is
wrong here. War, disease, death, destruction, hunger, filth, poverty, torture,
crime, corruption, the Ice Capades. . . . This is not good work. If this
is the best God can do, I am not impressed. Results like these do not belong
on the resume of a Supreme Being.
Religion easily has the greatest bullshit story ever told. Think
about it. Religion has actually convinced people that there's an invisible
man living in the sky 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. And if you do any of these ten things, he has a special
place, full of fire and smoke and burning and torture and anguish, where
he will send you to live and suffer and burn and choke and scream and cry
forever and ever 'til the end of time!
But He loves you. He loves you, and He needs money! He always needs
money! He's all-powerful, all-perfect, all-knowing, and all-wise, somehow
just can't handle money! Religion takes in billions of dollars, they pay
no taxes, and they always need a little more. Now, you talk about a good
bullshit story. Holy Shit!
I've begun worshipping the Sun for a number of reasons. First of all,
unlike some other gods I could mention, I can see the Sun. It's there for
me every day. And the things it brings me are quite apparent all the time:
heat, light, food, a lovely day. There's no mystery, no one asks for money,
I don't have to dress up, and there's no boring pageantry. And interestingly
enough, I have found that the prayers I offer to the sun and the prayers
I formerly offered to God are all answered at about the same 50-percent
rate.
The bloodiest, most brutal wars fought, all based on religious hatred.
Which is fine with me! Any time a bunch of holy people want to go out and
kill each other I'm a happy guy!
Charlie Chaplin
By simple common sense I don't believe in God,
in none.
In Philadelphia, I inadvertently came upon an edition of Robert Ingersoll's
Essays and Lectures. This was an exciting discovery; his atheism confirmed

Remember, Jesus would rather constantly shame gays than let orphans
have a family.
Michael Crichton
Organized religion is a business and nothing
else, unless you want to think of it as a way to organize wars efficiently.
Also organized religion tells you what ot think, and I believe the only
way to know about God is to find out on your own. What somebody else tells
you is of very little use. I believe that we are all God, and God is all
of us. But this means you can find out everything you need to know by yourself,
by what you see and what you feel. Nobody knows any more than you do --
even though you're just in the fifth grade.

Larry Flynt
I have left my religious conversion behind and settled into a comfortable
state of atheism. I have come to think that religion has caused more harm
than any other idea since the beginning of time. The Jerry Falwells of
this world are living proof of the hypocrisy.
Wil Forbis
I've yet to find anything convincing about the
arguments Christians make for the existence of this God chap, and feel
that if he does exist, events such as the Holocaust, Cambodian massacres
and Limp Bizkit illuminate the fact that he's been asleep at the wheel
for quite some time.
Bob Geldof

Terry Gilliam
With Life of Brian, we were vilified by Christians. Come on,

A prayer in a public school! God has no place within these walls, just
like facts have no place within organized religion.
Butch Hancock
~ American

Life in Lubbock, Texas taught me two things.
One is that God loves you and you're going to burn in hell. The other is
that sex is the most awful, dirty thing on the face of the earth and you
should save it for someone you love.
Hugh Hefner
Religion is a miyth we have invented to explain the inexplicable. The
univers is so beyond comprehension. What does it all mean -- if it has
any meaning at all? . . . I think anyone who suggests that they have the
answers is motivated by the need to invent answers, because we have no
such answers.
Katharine Hepburn

Billy Joel
I wasn't raised Catholic, but I used to go to
Mass with my friends, and I viewed the whole business as a lot of very
enthralling hocus-pocus. There's a guy hanging upon the wall in the church,
nailed to a cross and dripping blood, and everybody's blaming themselves
for that man's torment, but I said to myself, 'Forget it. I had no hand
in that evil. I have no original sin. There’s no blood of any sacred martyr
on my hands. I pass on all of this.
I believe that all important matters have to be
settled here, not in the clouds somewhere after we kick off.
Garrison Keillor
My ancestors were Puritans from England. They
arrive here in 1658 in hopes of finding greater restrictions than were
permissible under English law at that time.
Stanley Kubrick (1928-1999) ~ Movie director:
Space Odyssey: 2001
The whole idea of god is absurd. If anything,
2001 shows that what some people call "god" is simply an acceptable term
for their ignorance. This film is a rejection of the notion that there
is a god; isn't that obvious.
I'd be very surprised if the universe wan't full of an intelligence
of an order that to us would seem God-like. . . When you think of the giant
technological strides that man has made in a few millennia -- less than
a microsecond in the chronology of the universe -- can you imagine the
evolutionary development that much older life forms have taken? Their potentialities
would be limitless and their intelligence ungraspable in humans.

Monty Python
A reading from the Book of Armaments, Chapter
4, Verses 16 to 20:
Then did he raise on high the Holy Hand Grenade
of Antioch, saying, "Bless this, O Lord, that with it thou mayst blow thine
enemies to tiny bits, in thy mercy." And the people did rejoice and did
feast upon the lambs and toads and tree-sloths and fruit-bats and orangutans
and breakfast cereals... Now did the Lord say, "First thou pullest the
Holy Pin. Then thou must count to three. Three shall be the number of the
counting and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou
not count, neither shalt thou count two, excepting that thou then proceedeth
to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the number of
the counting, be reached, then lobbest thou the Holy Hand Grenade in the
direction of thine foe, who, being naughty in my sight, shall snuff it."

a mysterious way. - Ferndean School Report on God - The brand

There's a gullible side to the American people.
They can be easily misled. Religion is the best device used to mislead
them.
Henry M. Morris
(1918-2006) Founder of the Institute of Creation Research
The only way we can determine the true age of
the earth is for God to tell us what it is. And since He has told us, very
plainly, in the Holy Scriptures that it is several thousand years in age,
and no more, that ought to settle all basic questions of terrestrial chrnology.

When I was a kid I used to pray every night for

The feminist agenda is about a socialist, anti-family

at all. I'm sure I'll offend a lot of people by saying this, but I think
it's all nonsense.
Charles Schultz ~ American cartoonist (1922-2000)
In an interview in 1999, Schultz said that although
his philosophical views evolved over the years, "the term that best describes
me now is 'secular humanist.'" He went on to say, "I despise those shallow
religious comics. Dennis the Menace, for instance, is the most shallow.
When they show him praying--I just can't stand that sort of thing, talking
to God about some cutesy thing that he'd done during the day. I don't think
Hank Ketcham [Dennis' creator] has any deep knowledge of things like that."
Schultz cringed at the mention of Family Circus, the strip by Bill Keane
that is strewn with cutesy references to Jesus (who wants to protect children
on school buses, but can't because of laws about separation of church and
state!) and those sickly-sweet images of invisible deceased grandparents
looming protectively over the kids. "Oh, I can't stand that," Schultz laughed.

I'm sickened by all religions. Religion has divided

The essence of Christianity is told us in the
Garden of Eden history. The fruit that was forbidden was on the Tree of
Knowledge. The subtext is, All the suffering you have is because you wanted

had just kept your fucking mouth shut and hadn't asked any questions. .

is the chimpanzee part of the brain working.
My best advice to anyone who wants to raise a happy, mentally healthy
