    January 1st

    Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then

    he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing?

    Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing?

    Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor

    willing? Then why call him God?

    Religion has actually convinced people that there`s an

    invisible man -- living in the sky -- who watcheseverything you do, every minute of every day. And the

    invisible man has a special list of ten things he does not

    want you to do..And if you do any of these ten things,he has a special place, full of fire and smoke and

    burning and torture and anguish, where he will send

    you to live and suffer and burn and choke and scream

    and cry forever and ever `til the end of time! ...But He

    loves you.

    Religion is regarded by the common people as

    true, by the wise as false, and by the rulers as

    useful.

    I do not think it is necessary to believe that the

    same God who has given us our senses, reason,

    and intelligence wished us to abandon their use,

    giving us by some other means the information

    that we could gain through them.

    We must question the story logic of having an all-

    The fact that a believer is happier than a skeptic is

    A man`s ethical behavior should be basedeffectually on sympathy, education, and social ties;

    no religious basis is necessary. Man would indeed

    be in a poor way if he had to be restrained by fear

    With or without religion, you would have good

    To have an invisible friend at the age of eight is

    charming and not a cause for concern. To have an

    invisible friend in adulthood is however a cause for

    concern and could be considered psychotic. So

    how exactly does giving them the name of a deity

    change that opinion?

    Atheism is more than just the knowledge that godsdo not exist, and that religion is either a mistake or

    a fraud. Atheism is an attitude, a frame of mind

    that looks at the world objectively, fearlessly,

    always trying to understand all things as a part of

    Certainly I see the scientific view of the world as

    interesting about it. It is also incompatible with

    The objections to religion are of two sorts -

    intellectual and moral. The intellectual objection isthat there is no reason to suppose any religion

    they are and therefore tend to perpetuate

    inhumanities which the moral conscience of the

    Theology, by diverting the attention of men from

    this life to another, and by endeavoring to coerceall men into one religion, constantly preaching that

    this world is full of misery, but the next world

    would be beautiful -- or not, as the case may be --

    has forced on men the thought of fear where

    otherwise there might have been the happy

    abandon of nature.

    Without death, the influence of faith-based religion
