"One good school teacher is of more use than a hundred priests."
-Thomas Paine

"I have recently been examining all the known superstitions of the world, and do not find in our particular superstition (Christianity) one redeeming feature. They are all alike founded on fables and mythology."
Thomas Jefferson

"The slave is doomed to worship time and fate and death, because they are greater than anything he finds in himself, and because all his thoughts are of things which they devour."
Bertrand Russell

I despise faith healers and people who claim they can raise the dead. They should be sent to a deserted island so they can be prevented from bilking poor little old ladies out of prayer donations. They drive Mercedes Benz and live in mansions all the while telling sick people to believe in miracles to solve their health problems. They know they're selling lies because if it were true they wouldn't charge you for a miracle. -FreePrometheus

Everyone believes in something, even if that something is in fact nothing. The church has one main thing right, people are in fact sheep. They follow the leader, do what Simon says and tell themselves it will be alright..just as long as they dont have to think or do for themselves. If you question the authority, if you call out your leaders then you are already ahead of the curve. We all feel like freaks and outcasts, as if we are alone..but we must realize that we are in fact our own society..the island of misfit toys so to speak. We must not let others around us tell us what we will be, we must stay true to who we are. Question the answers, seek the truth, Find ourselves. -The Great Pretender

We atheists do not believe in gods, or angels, or demons, or souls that endure, or a meeting place after all is said and done where more can be said and done and the point of it all revealed. We dont believe in the possibility of redemption after our lives, but the necessity of compassion in our lives. We believe in people, in their joys and pains, in their good ideas and their wit and wisdom. We believe in human rights and dignity, and we know what it is for those to be trampled on by brutes and vandals. We may believe that the universe is pitilessly indifferent but we know that friends and strangers alike most certainly are not. We despise atrocity, not because a god tells us that it is wrong, but because if not massacre then nothing could be wrong. -VaTech Professor

One desire by which the human mind is so often teased is the desire to live after death. It is not difficult to explain. Men live so briefly that their plans far outrun their ability to execute them. They see themselves cut off before their will to live is exhausted. Naturally enough, they wish to survive, and, being men, believe in their chances for survival. But their wishes afford no possible proof. Life covers the earth with wishes, as it covers the earth with plants and animals. No wish, however, is evidence of anything beyond itself. Let millions hold it, and it is still only a wish. Let each separate race exhibit it, and it is still only a wish. Let the wisest hold it just as strong as the foolishest, and it is still only a wish. Whoever says that he knows that immortality is a fact is merely hoping that it is. And whoever argues, as men often do, that life would be meaningless without immortality because it alone brings justice into human fate, must first argue, as no man has ever convincingly done, that life has an unmistakable meaning and that it is just. I, at least am convinced on neither of these two points. Though I am, I believe, familiar with all arguments, I do not find them notably better than the others. All I see is that the wish for immortality is widespread, that certain schemes of immortality imagined from it have here or there proved more agreeable than rival schemes and that they have been more generally accepted. The religions that provide these successful schemes I can credit with keener insight into human wishes than other religions have had, but I cannot credit them with greater authority as regards the truth. THEY ARE ALL GUESSWORK.
