I'm proud to be an atheist - it helps me stand for so much more and fall for so much less.

If the Prodigal Son's a parable, and if Adam and Eve are metaphors, then maybe God is just figure of speech.

The very concept of sin comes from the Bible. Christianity offers to solve a problem of its own making! Would you be thankful to a person who cut you with a knife in order to sell you a bandage?

I am an atheist because there is no evidence for the existence of God. That should be all that needs to be said about it: no evidence, no belief.

Insanity is believing your hallucinations are real. Religion is believing that other peoples' hallucinations are real.

All you have to do is walk into any children's hospital and you know there is no God. Prayer doesn't make any difference. Those people pray for their beloved children to live and they die.

People are always asking, "What's the purpose of life?" That's easy. Relieve suffering. Create beauty. Make gardens.

If the answers to prayer are merely what God wills all along, then why pray?

Faith is a cop-out. 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. It is intellectual bankruptcy.

How happy can you be when you think every action and thought is being monitored by a judgmental ghost ?

You believe in a book that has sticks turning into snakes, and you say we are the ones that need help?

I guess that's what saying good-bye is always like--like jumping off an edge. The worst part is making the choice to do it. Once you're in the air, there's nothing you can do but let go.

We will strengthen our security by building missile defense, restoring our military might, and standing by and strengthening our intelligence officers.

Public office is supposed to be a public trust. This is a clear sign of the rampant corruption at the highest levels of the Republican leadership.

There are men who desire power simply for the sake of the happiness it will bring; these belong chiefly to political parties.

No doubt about it: error is the rule, truth is the accident of error.

All that is not perfect down to the smallest detail is doomed to perish.

In most cases, worldly love ends in hatred and deep sorrow.

Beware of those who talk about sacrifice.

Some wish that I was gone, cause they know I'ma win.

Some of us were born to take risks.
