Faith is not the result of fuzy thinking. It is the cause of it.

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?

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

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 ?

We can create a different future - one simple, beautifully mundane, daily decision at a time.

The hush of the night sky is the silence of a graveyard.

The Number our envious Persons, confirmation our capability.

Be fanatics. When it comes to being and doing and dreaming the best, be maniacs.

We all have such a finite time to leave the world better than we found it.

For me, I'm not a jealous person. That's just not my thing. You have to have trust in your relationship.

A moment on the lips is a lifetime on the hips.

A pear tree is blooming, by a collapsed house, on an old battlefield.

You're never terrified when you say what you mean - are you?

It's a lot of working out, you know, and you don't get to eat all the things you wanna eat.
