SO GET YOUR HEAD OUT OF YOUR ATHEIST ANCIENT GREECE BOOK OF FALSE GODS, AND WAKE UP. WHEN YOU DIE, YOU'RE GOING TO HELL, AND ARE GOING TO PERMANENTLY SUFFER DOWN THERE. AND I'LL BE LAUGHING AT ALL THE ATHEIST BASTARDS IN THIS ECHO, WHEN I'M UP IN HEAVEN. THERE IS NO WAY OUT OF HELL, JUST A WAY IN. AND THAT IS WHERE YOU ARE HEADED! OH I SEE. ALABAMA? YOU BETTER WATCH OUT. EVERYONE FROM THE SOUTH IS GUILTY OF INCEST. I GUESS THAT'S ANOTHER REASON WHY YOU ARE GOING STRAIGHT TO HELL! THE TERMINAL BBS? OH, I UNDERSTAND. YOU ARE TERMANILLY RETARTED, BECAUSE YOU ARE THE PRODUCT OF INCEST! HAVE A NICE DAY, LOSER BOY." - Christopher Calabrese [Christian family values]

"So many gods, so many creeds,
So many paths that wind and wind,
While just the art of being kind
Is all the sad world needs."

"Religion differs from science in that you must believe before you see evidence." -- Steven Timm
"If a man pretend to me that God hath spoken to him supernaturally and immediately, and I make doubt of it, I cannot easily perceive what argument he can produce, to oblige me to believe it...

"God does not like to be told he does not exist." - Richard Thorneycroft

"The Church is very tolerant, as is proven by God not sending a lightening bolt to fry those who blaspheme in the manner which the ULC [Universal Life Church] does - particularly by taking something which God and millions of men hold sacred, and then attempting to make a joke of it, belittling it, and smearing it with every type of ridicule you can think of." - Fr.

"In defense of those to whom God speaks directly, at least they know how to issue a good, old-fashioned, thundering denunciation. If their words had the power that their rhetoric deserves, various male generative organs would long since have shriveled up and fallen off." - Jerry Schwartz 142/928
"God says the Bible is true. Anyone who says differently is contradicting God. This is wickedness. It does not matter how many Hebrew scolars you consult, calling God a liar will always be sin. Looking for contradictions in scripture is looking to catch God in a lie, because God says the Bible is true." --- Michael Courtney (michael@amo.mit.edu)
"The Church hates a thinker precisely for the same reason a robber dislikes a sheriff, or a thief despises the prosecuting witness." --- Robert Ingersoll, _Individuality_
"You think about things too much. This is a very simple concept to grasp, but you just can't accept something that is simple. You need to overthink everything. Just like God, if you just turned down your intellect just a little bit, and looked at the situation with your heart, you would see that he is truly there." -- Shawn Swanner
"That there are things in the Bible that I cannot understand, sort of proves it not to have come from the mind of humans." -- Phil Morrison

"If you think it requires faith to disbelieve in Santa Claus, press 1 now. If you look forward to seeing infidels roasting in hell, press 2.

"You are nothing but a stupid atheist pig, with the IQ of a democrat." --- Christopher Calabrese
"But a far more fascinating read for you would be a book by Richard Dawkins called _The Blind Watchmaker_. The two books together are an education all by themselves, and they are written by two men who have devoted their entire lives to understanding what makes the world and the lifeforms on it tick, just as your preacher has devoted his life to finding out how to make people belief the Bible without ever reading it on their own." --- Marilyn Burge

"If there is such a thing as homosexual love, certainly it would be equal to heterosexual love. But I am not yet convinced that people of the same sex can genuinely love each other in a romantic way.

"To believe is to be 100% certain about an event or possibility that is not 100% certain. I assume that next time I travel home that all the wheels will remain on my car. I do acknowledge, when I consider it, that there is a small probability that they may not, but I will proceed on the assumption anyway. I believe that I am who my mother told me I was. That is exactly the same kind of assumption. There is a small probability that she lied, but I carry on anyway. It is therefore a misnomer to use the word "believe" in that context. The last thing in my life I actually believed in was a god." --- Dave Hamilton
"I upset most xtian type men. I don't know why. I upset their wives too, but not as badly. That seems to upset the men even more. Somehow, I would think that the compassionate inquiry about what emotional trauma destroyed their manhood would be soothing, rather than upsetting." --- Katherine Wintersnight

"Just as my goddaughter's stuffed animals say nothing at all without someone there to give them their voices, these stuffed gods are likewise speechless without someone around to speak for them.

It wasn't me. It was the one armed bible. - Relatif Tuinn
You see, here we don't have to be polite to you because you have delusions and call them god(s). We don't have to--- and don't--- give you any more respect than you earn. And you are going to take a LONG, LONG time getting out of the minus column. - JUDITH BANDSMA (to 'BOB HYDE')
The activity of a particular group of nuns (which finds no support in the teachings of Jesus Christ) cannot be posited as evidence for what 'real' Christianity does to people. - Bob Hyde (They weren't real Christian nuns torturing children, you see.)
While my religious beliefs say that homosexuality is wrong, I would feel the same way even if I was not a Christian. - Homophobe Ken Young
I suspect that what Kenny is saying is closer to the truth than even he realizes. I strongly suspect that these Neanderthals pick the religion that will reinforce their already-existing biases. That saves them the trouble of having to take serious inventory of their bigotries and actually do some psychical digging in order to rearrange their thinking in a major way. - Marilyn Burge
Notice there's no 'Bible for Dummies?' Way too redundant. - Marty Leipzig
As you would expect, that lack of evidence leads to some disasterous choices. Randomly, you'd expect that on a globe of some 5 trillion people.... - Day Brown (Telling us the Earth's population)
Knock yourself out, but it would be as meaningless to me as an earth that is 'billions and billions' of years old. - Jim Staal
In reference to my reading comprehension, is not your mother-inlaw your mother? or your father-inlaw your father? You're splitting hairs. - Gary Hall
Which pant leg depends upon the mood I'm in. If I'm feeling very liberal that day, it goes down the left side. If in a moderate mood, I just unzip. If I am particularly pissed at 'the liberals' I pick the right pant leg. It's just my little way of protesting. - David Rice
What you fail to realize is that even you guys will be in for it, when everything the Illuminatit wants is in place. - Ken Young (Fundamentalist Christian, obviously)

'Thou shalt not suffer a Fundamentalist Christian to live.' - David Rice
Religion? Hardly! Though I have been told that the ETs religion IS the physical laws of the universe.

"Poverty and excessive population are but symptoms of the main root of all, not just the 'third world's,' problem; and that is: ignorance. Ignorance of methods of birth control, ignorance of agricultural procedures that do not result in sterile topsoil (if, indeed, any remains).

"A coward has often fought; a coward has often conquered; but a coward never forgave." --- Steel
"God wiped out entire nations because they practiced homosexuality. Did you know that was in the Bible? It's an awesome thing to think about. Amidst all the clamor for 'gay rights,' we ought to pay careful attention to what God says about homosexuality. God takes this problem seriously, and He deals with it firmly. He classes homosexuality among the most vile sins of humankind." --- David Ragland (telling god what to do)
Laugh my tush off as i watch you burn in the Christian hell forever. - Raoul Newton

gods will never hurt you ethier will god. God saves faithful live, and watches you rot in HELL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111 ---- David Napoli
In other words, Ken, Christianity is tailor-made for oppressing people, installing a rigid hierarchy amongst the populace, and then quelling any rebellion that might arise. It does this through the use of fear, misdirection, and outright lying in not a few instances. It is the perfect control mechanism against people who are denied intellectual freedom--- and it does quite a good job of that. - Preston Simpson
People who cover themselves in shit shouldn't complain if they attract flies. - Steve Quarrella
Try asking yourself: Why? Do it for the first time in your life. Question what you were taught by rote to believe and weigh that against the facts that have been shown to you. Show everyone that you are not a robot and have the capability to look at the facts and make a sound judgement based on those same facts. - Dan Ceppa
Personally, I vote that there be fines and arrests for consenting adults if they are not married--heterosexual or otherwise. - Mark Fox

Are you aware that you cannot write without typo's? Write to me without a typo and I will began you education... - Don Ward
'As in 1925, creationists are not battling for religion. They have been disowned by leading church men of all persuasions, for they debase religion even more than they misconstrue science. They are a motley collection to be sure, but their core of practical support lies with the evangelical right, and creationism is a mere stalking horse or subsidiary issue in a political program...The enemy is not fundamentalism; it is intolerance. In this case, the intolerance is perverse since it masquerades under the 'liberal' rhetoric of 'equal time'.' --- S.J. Gould.
I have less tolerance for pagan women because they seem to particularly lack respect for men and thereby depart from God even further than do pagan men. - (Jim Staal, Promise Keeper)
But stupid you forgot to that notes like I said for you dumb asses too. - Bill Wolff (Fundamentalist Christian)

"Also, why do the itinerant herdsman of the Eastern Govi Basin in the Autonomous Republic of Mongolia have absolutely no concept of the supernatural, deities, sin or any other fanciful wishings?" --- Marty Leipzig
"This sort of quasischizophrenic Orwellian doublebelieve (one can scarcely call it 'doublethink' when it lacks the intellectual horsepower to be considered even a 'singlethink') has long been fascinating to me. On one hand, you have individuals who can function (at least, to some degree) in a modern society; yet possess in the backwaters of their psyche some dark, bizarre cultic secrets.
They accept, utilize and benefit from all that modern science has to offer; yet turn about and condemn it when it treads upon their pet, and thoroughly unevidenced, beliefs.
Such dichotomy. One wonders if they take their kids to the veterinarian when they're ill." --- Marty Leipzig
"The mediocre mind is incapable of understanding the man who refuses to bow blindly to conventional prejudices and chooses instead to express his opinions courageously and honestly." -- Albert Einstein
Not a good example. Did the ancient Greeks even consider it a miracle, or simply an act of Thor? -- William Putnam

Our unanimous affirmance of the Court of Appeals' judgment concerning 16-1-20.2 makes it unnecessary to comment at length on the District Court's remarkable conclusion that the Federal Constitution imposes no obstacle to Alabama's establishment of a state religion. --- Wallace V. Jaffree, 472 U.S. 38 (1985)
Despite their many glaring flaws, I can at least credit the Roamin' Catholics with having very high academic standards for their clergy. While they may accept pedophiles, you can be sure they are literate, educated pedophiles. - J. J. Hitt

"Religion deals only with evaluations of human thought and action: it cannot justifiably speak of facts and relationships between facts." --- Albert Einstein
"In the more or less two hundred Exorcisms I've done, by far the majority are possessing dead humans. Ghosts with bad behaviour. Every once in a while, I'll run into a 'Being of Darkness', and then that can be a REAL spooky situation!" --- Lani Stucker
"For example Mammoths are just a form of Elephant or perhaps I should say that Elephants are just a variation of Mammonths!" -- Laurie Appleton

[ISA 45:6] That men may know from the rising to the setting of the sun That there is no one besides Me. I am the Lord, and there is no other, [ISA 45:7] The One forming light and creating darkness, Causing well-being and creating calamity; I am the Lord who does all these.

"In two weeks, the sheeplike masses of any country can be worked up by the newspapr and TV into such a state of excited fury that men are prepared to put on uniforms and will and be killed for the sake of the sordid ends of a few interested parties." --- Albert Einstein
"A Creationist lawyer - now there's an example of a parasitic parasite for you." --- Dave Hamilton
"Exactly. Now go to the mirror (if you have the nerve to own one) and lie to your only supporter." --- Dave Hamilton

Oh dear, there's nothing left to rely to.
"Not everything that counts can be counted; and not everything that can be counted counts." --- Albert Einstein
"Myths have their place. Starting one is something else. Believing in those myths is the culmination of stupidity." --- God Dan
"Joining $cientology to get you off drugs is like smoking crack to quit cigarettes."
"If you live in a totalitarian society where the way you are supposed to think and act is exactly how you are inclined to think and act, you will not recognize it as a totalitarian society. You will feel free." -- de Wolf's Law
"You might as well have no rights as far as we're concerned." Marty Rathbun, Scientology spokesperson.
"Scientology 1970 is being planned on a religious organization basis throughout the world. This will not upset in any way the usual activities of any organization. It is entirely a matter for accountants and solicitors." -- L. Ron Hubbard, HCOPL 29 Oct 1962
"If the earth is old, god is not the Christian god." -- Kurt Wise, Creationist
"...just because your brain was not one like Einsteins, that does NOT excuse you for all your nasty and false comments and acccusations! I will hold them against you in the 'day of judgement' unless you have unreservedly and fully apologised!" -- Laurie Appleton (thinks he's god) to Karl Schneider
"I am not of the opinion that we should make use of the concept of God[sic] in striving for a better world. This, it seems to me, is incompatible with the integrity of a modern cultured person." --- Albert Einstein

"And exactly how wide is your anal orfice from Scientology 'counceling?'"
If you EVER try to proselytize to me again I will order your demons to mash your underdeveloped gonads between two rocks! - Joseph Voigt
I upset most xtian type men. I don't know why. I upset their wives too, but not as badly. That seems to upset the men even more. Somehow, I would think that the compassionate inquiry about what emotional trauma destroyed their manhood would be soothing, rather than upsetting. - Katherine Wintersnight
The first Christians (yes, going back even to the time of Jesus Christ) were Protestants. - Ken Young [telling us all he knows about Christianity.]
"My impression of young-earthers, FWIW, is that they are not New Testament people at all, but rather Old Testament people. Their God is not a God of mercy and forgivenness and transcendence; rather, their God is a merciless authoritarian who will send people to Hell for the slightest infraction. At the risk of being completely tactless, it is my fervent wish that someday young-earthers will become Christians." -- Keith Knapp
"The fact that a believer is happier than a skeptic is no more to the point than the fact that a drunken man is happier than a sober one. The happiness of credulity is a cheap and dangerous quality." --- George Bernard Shaw
...Our passion at the Institute for Creation Research is to see science return to its rightful God-glorifying position, and see creation recognized as a strength by the body of Christ; supporting Scripture, answering questions, satisfying doubts and removing road blocks to the Gospel. The Institute for Creation research Graduate School exists to train students in scientific research and teaching skills, preparing effective warriors for the faith. We are delighted that you are considering honing your skills in creation thinking, and trust that God will lead you...(How many lies, untruths and deliberate minsinformational quips can you find in the above passage?)John D. Morris, Ph.D., President Institute for Creation Research
i've explained this many a time. Noah's family had all of the genes we no of today and more. The next generation had less and so on. - Alan Presley
I am referring to the modern branches of science which call God a liar, and which call His Word a lie. Archeology, paleontology, and astronomy to name a few. They all claim the Earth and Universe are billions of years old in direct conflict with the Biblical record. Between God's Word and man's word, I'll believe God's Word any day: - Bill Kochman (He's serious, by the way.)
I'd rather have a free mind than be "saved." - Robert Jackson
"What's this brain doing on the sidewalk?"
"Somebody found Jesus and just left it there." --- Dave Hamilton
"The very thought that hanging 'the 10 Commandments' on school walls will have any impact on school violence (Littleton and other school shootings seeming to be the impetus for this bill) or on national morality is so laughable as to nearly send me rolling, but the thought that separation of church and state could be attempted to be destroyed so blithely makes me want to go out in my back yard and scream.
"Suffice it to say... I'm in a state of bemused horror." -- Steve Kemp
"All it takes is one asshole with a gun or a bomb to ruin a culture of virtually any size, unless people face reality in the here-and-now and realize that freedom must be defended against those who WILL remove it from us. I'd like it to be sunny and warm every day too but I've seen enough of reality to realize it ain't gonna be so. So I own a raincoat." --- Dave Hamilton
"It's also nice to know that Hovind's secretary can always get in touch with him in case I'm having a creation vs. evolution EMERGENCY." -- Brad Reddekopp
"I think the issue is to have the Darwinists just admit it is a theory." -- Jeff Binkley
"Hey, I've mastered the art of levitating birds!" -- John Wilson
