pls u guys should help the poster out. maybe his relation or friend died mad (no offences meant pls). so he wants to know of what becomes of the fate of that person.
but come to think of it, is madness not an injustice to the mad? sometimes ppl just go mad out of no fault of their own, u see them everyday around the streets, they live and die that way. this is a great injustice i have come to discover, and its a pity that God (whom u claim exists) cannot do anything about it.

This is so simple. It's been right under our noses all the time: a test for the existence of God.

I'm going to do this experiment, and I suggest that EVERYBODY do it, atheists, agnostics, Christians, muslims: Talk to God and tell him that if he can do anything - create the world in six days, kill his own son for the sins of the world, set the galaxies in motion - then surely he can appear in your living room for five minutes so that you can chat with him.

What a small thing for the God of the universe to do!!! Nothing is too hard for him (Jeremiah 32:27); with God all things are possible (Matt. 19:16). And we're not even asking him for a miracle. We just want him to spend five minutes with us IN PERSON. If he really loves us so much (John 3:16), he should be willing to spend some time with us.

Please try this in your own home, and let me know the results

NB: This is not to mock God or tempt him or anything like it; I figured out that this would be one of the simplest ways for him to prove his existence to we unbelievers. If this works, I assure you that there won’t be a single unbeliever left in this world because this would be a proof beyond reasonable doubts.

hey !! am still waiting for God's reply. i know he is kinda busy but doesnt he have any secretary or ambassador here?
well, just wondering

You would rather wish that I stop quoting the embarrasing sayings of your heroes of faith. or are they (Darwin, Huxley, Dawkins) no longer atheists? Are you still proud of their male chauvinistic, sexist and racist thoughts justified by evolutionary theory? Are their quotes insignificant or you are still burying your heads in the quicksands hoping that this reality would go away? in your dreams. I knew that you shot yourself in the foot when you opened this thread because the quotes of these 'great atheists' would come back to bite you. Huxley was still better than the compromising Christian who was making an attempt to deny the historical facts of the book of Genesis as allegorical and myths. If I where you I will sit back and put to practice what you adviced in the opening thread to learn from these quotes of the so called greatest atheists

honestly man, the truth is that ur quotes are incomprehensible to me, i dont even understand a thing in all ur quotes, besides i dont know where u got them from. if there were any justice in this forum, u shud knw that u shouldnt be posting those stuffs here with any intention u may have in mind, because if i start posting the bizzare sayings and speeches of so many religious ppl, na u go run. like i said, this thread is for greatest atheist quotes, it was meant for atheists to post their favourite atheists quotes and for u guys and us to review them, if u want u can s tart a thread for "the most bizzare atheist quotes" separately, and then we all can review them if we so wish. so quit poking around.

moreover, if u must post anything as u wish, why not make it short and simple so that it will be easier to comprehend, now check this out.

"Atheism encourages freedom of thought and inquiry, while religion by its very nature has to encourage unquestioning obedience and blind faith in doctrines."

If one asks followers of one particular god why they do not believe in a different one, you will usually find that they argue much like atheists, citing the lack of evidence or reasons for belief. The difference is that they apply the rule only selectively, to rule out all other gods, except their own preferred one, although there is no empirical difference between them.

see what i mean

Dear God

On behalf of the people of this planet earth, I am writing you this letter to ask you for forgiveness in all that mankind had done against you.
It is true that you sent Jesus your son to die for all our sins in order to bring us salvation and forgiveness of sins, but the fact still remains that there is one sin which you have totally refused to forgive, and that is the original sin. Yes God, the sin of Adam and Eve is still the only reason why we still suffer a great deal of injustice in life. The original sin is the obvious reason why mankind had to suffer and die in this unjust world.
The curse of the original sin had never departed from man since the beginning of time.
God, you said that man would have lived forever if not for the original sin, but that is simply because you have refused to forgive; if you had forgiven Adam and Eve for this one simple mistake that they made, man would have still lived forever.
Dear God, why is it so hard for you to forgive us and liberate us from the bondage of this original sin and allow us to enjoy that perfect life that we all so desire; that life of no pain, no sorrow and no death? That life filled with joy, fulfillment, peace and absolute happiness.
Heaven would have been a very good idea if only every single individual will be there. But no, everyone will not be there; only a few will make heaven and we all know that, even the bible made it clear that making heaven will not be an easy task due to the complexity of its qualification.
So tell me dear God, even if I agree to worship you all my life and I finally end up going to heaven at last, how do you except me to enjoy my eternity without my loved ones, friends and family? Everyone wants heaven and that is the obvious fact. Nobody is enjoying this hustle and bustle of everyday life. Everyone wants heaven or rather, a perfect world right here and now for all to enjoy.
Why wait for that affixed time “when the sun of man will come in his glory to judge every man according to their deeds”? We are tired of these sufferings, we are tired of all this rat race, we are tired of all these injustice in this unjust world. All we want is peace, joy, happiness and everlasting contempt for every single being so that the world will be a better place for us all. All these we ask you and hope that you would humbly grant our request.

Ascony.

this man. what are u doing here bombarding the whole thread with insignificant quotes? this thread is for "greatest atheist quotes" not for "my favourite quotes" you gat it? so u better quit.

if we are to believe the New Testament doctrines, we must believe the historical of Genesis as historical truth

who believes the new testament anyway? i think u and ur fellow fundamentalists are the ones who do, ,,,,,not us

if only wishes were horses

@ blood shed.
Its like u watch that video everyday just like i do. U know u actually got d best parts. I wish our believers will take some time 2 see that wonderful video, maybe they might pick up one or two facts 4rm it

"When it comes to believing in God, I really tried. I really, really tried. I tried to believe that there is a God, who created each of us in His own image and likeness, loves us very much, and keeps a close eye on things. I really tried to believe that, but I gotta tell you, the longer you live, the more you look around, the more you realize, something is bleeped up. Something is wrong here. War, disease, death, destruction, hunger, filth, poverty, torture, crime, corruption, and the Ice Capades. Something is definitely wrong. 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 résumé of a Supreme Being. This is the kind of shit you'd expect from an office temp with a bad attitude. And just between you and me, in any decently-run universe, this guy would've been out on his all-powerful ass a long time ago."

he loves you and he needs money

Late George Carlin was a comedian and a great one in his times, when i saw this great video on youtube , i laughed til my jaw went sour. the way he used humour to describel the amazing flaws of organised religion tripped me, be you a believer or non believer, you need to see this video because it explained a lot in a clear and understandable humorous way.

So neither will I; and the reason is equally as good for me, and for every other person, as for Thomas."

"A man could theoretically kill hundreds of innocent people, rob fifty banks, poison the drinking water of an entire religion, or even start a world war. But if this man, during his last few seconds of life, sincerely repents of his sins and 'accept Christ into his heart', he will be taken to heaven and rewarded eternally. By contrast, a woman can sacrificially devote her entire life to charitable work and to generously helping disadvantaged children. But if she neglects to recognize the existence of a supernatural power, then she will be barbecued forever in the pits of hell, according to the Christian doctrine."

David mills 'Atheists Universe'





The only thing that can make me believe in God is when any being that calls himself God begins to take the full responsibilites of a God.

The invisible and the non-existant look very much alike

i like that

@mazaje
nice quotes too

Where dem?

where dem wetin? as in u have proved that einstein was a christian or what?
whats all these? like i said , einstein was agnostic, and agnosticism and atheism are birds of the same feather.
for ur info, i never said einstein was an atheist, thats not the point here, the quote i laid out was his quote including the ones u laid out too.
but what does that matter, einstein lived many years and he said diffferent thing at different times,
ok lets take it that einstein believed in a god, does that make god to exist?
i created this thread for quotes so that we can learn from them cos i believe that quotes are more comprehenible, and not to debate whether einstein was an atheist, an agnostic or a christian.
that is a topic for another thread

@mazaje
i must tell u man, those quotes are off da hook. I hope our believers here will make something meaningful out of it, especially that one by ingersoll.
But mazaje, is it true that u are muslim? Cos i think i read that from another thread. Please clarify.

"I see a pattern, but my imagination cannot picture the maker of the pattern.  I see a clock, but I cannot envision the clockmaker.  The human mind is unable to conceive of the four dimensions, so how can it conceive of a God, before whom a thousand years and a thousand dimensions are as one." - Albert Einstein

"In the view of such harmony in the cosmos which I, with my limited human mind, am able to recognise, there are yet people who say there is no God.  But what makes me really angry is that they quote me for  

i guess oladegbu is trying to prove that einstein wasnt an atheist or that he didnt quote the quotation i pointed out. for ur information einstein was agnostic who thinks that a belief in God is childish.
just read up his RELIGIOUS VIEWS in wikipaedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_Einstein#Religious_views

FYI. mind u that einstein was an archaic man so his views on religion doesnt matter as much.

can u beat that?

"Let me give you a little inside information about God. God likes to watch. He's a prankster. Think about it. He gives man instincts! He gives you this extraordinary gift, and then what does He do? I swear, for his own amusement, his own private, cosmic gag reel; He sets the rules in opposition. It's the goof of all time. Look but don't touch. Touch, but don't taste! Taste, don't swallow! And while you're jumpin' from one foot to the next, what is he doing? He's laughin' His sick, fuckin' ass off. He's a tight-ass! He's a sadist! He's an absentee landlord! Worship that? Never!"
Al Pacino (in the movie Devil's advocate)

"If this being is omnipotent, then every occurrence, including every human action, every human thought, and every human feeling and aspiration is also His work; how is it possible to think of holding men responsible for their deeds and thoughts before such an almighty Being? In giving out punishment and rewards He would to a certain extent be ing judgment on Himself. How can this be combined with the goodness and righteousness ascribed to Him?"

Albert Einstein



" If it is so impossible for God to establish perfection and everlasting contempt on earth now, then how can we be sure that it will be possible in the after life (heaven); how can we be so sure that another archangel would not try to impeach God or that another Adam and Eve would not eat another forbidden fruit? It happened before, so it is possible that it might happen again."

if i were God, i would make all dreams come true
because all things are possible for them that trust in me
If i were God, evil will never rule
and i will make the hearts of men to be how i want it to be
If i were God there will be no beggars on the street
begging for money or maybe some food to eat
and there will be no sorrows and there will be no pain
because if i were God, i will be break all of those chains

and hey! i thought this thread was to be for quotes?

Atheists do not attack God, cos he is indeed imaginary. we attack religious people who believe this imaginary being. we want them to open their eyes and come back to thier senses, to stop believing in imaginary beings, cos ppl who do so are practically deluded.

I believe we can learn better from quotes, quotes are stricking and straight to the point. so my fellow freethinkers, lets share our favourite quotes here.
each and every quote is in out a message and I hope you will learn something different. I advice that you read all quotes with immense concentration and I assure you that you must be able to fish out something very inspiring and educating for your enlightenment.

ignorance could b astonishing. y discuss, debate and attack an imaginary, u dont believe in? This is medically called madness.
