Atheists are suffering from bad PR. What if Sesame Street had an atheist character?

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.

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

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

If you are not thinking differently, you are not exercising your freedom.

[ Gareth Edwards] never wanted to force anything that wasn't true. He's very much an actor's director, and it was loose.

When you are good to others, you are best to yourself.

I say that whoever claims to have finished a canvas is terribly arrogant.

You know, gentlemen, that I do not owe any personal income tax. But nevertheless, I send a small check, now and then, to the Internal Revenue Service out of the kindness of my heart.

Miracles happen every day. Not just in remote country villages or at holy sites halfway across the globe, but here, in our own lives.

Then, on my way to California, I decided to stop in New York to do some research. I couldn't leave, because that's where the music was!

They're a typical Hollywood audience. All the kids are on drugs and all the adults are on roller skates.

Those who are asking for more government interference are asking ultimately for more compulsion and less freedom.

Presence is more than just being there.
