Some good stuff here.

My favorite is from the late creator of Star Trek: Next Generation, We must question the story logic of having an all-knowing all-powerful God, who creates faulty Humans, and then blames them for his own mistakes. - Gene Roddenberry

"Since the Bible and the church are obviously mistaken in telling us where we came from, how can we trust them to tell us where we are going? - Anonymous"

I like this one.

Great stuff... there's a few there which I'm going to use a lot from now on, basically along the lines of;

'You don't believe in 1000 Gods. Why are you so incredulous that I don't believe in 1001?'

'You don't believe in 1000 Gods. Why are you so incredulous that I don't believe in 1001?'

Ahh, if only reason worked on irrational people.

Rather funny how people who reject one more religion can be deemed extremely immoral in some more backward parts of the world.

The general response to this one, even by the top apologists, is "well those are man-made gods". Which has got to be the most ignorant statement ever uttered.

lol

Why aren't there 102 quotes?

Let me make up the 102nd one, not that I'm an atheist. It's pretty easy to take something out of context.

"I do not believe in God."

Anyone else find it funny that it says 'theist-quotes'?

I like this one. "I believe in God, only I spell it Nature." - Frank Lloyd Wright

Yeah, I wouldn't even call that an atheist quote.

That's the problem with some religion.

My belief is we are all communing with the same source whether we choose to believe it or not.

I believe he was actually the creator of Star Trek in general. Not just TNG.

"Faith means not wanting to know what is true. - Friedrich Nietzsche"

I always thought Nietzsche had a very blunt and true way of saying things

You're right.

Thats the only one I really liked. A lot of the other ones were just piggy backing off each other.

"Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence."

against

"What can be asserted without proof can be dismissed without proof."

Like it.

That's a broken quote. It should really be "Absence of evidence is not proof of absence". But the first version is far more catchy. I could go on about how not having any evidence is a good reason to not believe, but that would be Off Topic (and retarded).

"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

Perhaps the best quote on there, though I wasn't aware Susan B. Anthony ever actually said she was atheist/irreligious.

Of course the lightning rod quote is always a crack up too.

**Descensus** · 11-25-2008 04:24 AM

On the first day, man created God. - Anonymous

I lol'd at that.

Maybe she wasn't. There are plenty of people that I'm sure distrust people inside their own religion because they claim it's what "god wants."

I do not fear death. I had been dead for billions and billions of years before I was born, and had not suffered the slightest inconvenience from it.

I think I like that one the best.

"The invisible and the non-existent look very much alike. - Delos B. McKown"

"It is not as in the Bible, that God created man in his own image. But, on the contrary, man created God in his own image. - Ludwig Feuerbach"

"Two hands working can do more than a thousand clasped in prayer. - Anonymous"
