I threw out all the bath water, and there was no baby there.

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 ?

Feel the delights of love with the heart, not with the mind.

Quality brings security and confidence

Have an objective in life! Or you feel lost in life!

I don't answer. I shut my eyes and hold my breath and hope whoever it is will think I'm not here and go home.

And my husband and I have been together for 10 years, so I guess people felt a part of it and it makes me feel really good

Keeping our kids engaged and in school must become a national priority.

Getting an audience requires luck as well as talent. Some artists are private and shy. It costs them too much.

Hope & curiosity about the future seemed better than guarantees. The unknown was always so attractive to me...and still is.

I'm all about high-waisted pants and skirts, pencil skirts, and sheer, long-sleeves in the summer.

Institutions don't change the world in fundamental ways. The way the world changes is heart to heart to heart by individuals, not by institutions.
