Quote DB :: Religion :: Anti-Religion Search in this category Sponsored Links Quote Author Rating Rate "The Bible is not my book, and Christianity is not my religion. I could never give assent to the long, complicated statements of Christian dogma." Abraham Lincoln "A man's ethical behavior should be based effectually 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 of punishment and hope of reward after death." Albert Einstein "Ocean: A body of water occupying 2/3 of a world made for man...who has no gills." Ambrose Bierce "Philosophy is questions that may never be answered. Religion is answers that may never be questioned." Author Unknown "Where knowledge ends, religion begins." Benjamin Disraeli "I do not think that the real reason why people accept religion is anything to do with argumentation. They accept religion on emotional grounds. One is often told that it is a very wrong thing to attack religion, because religion makes men virtuous. So I am told; I have not noticed it." Bertrand Russell "What a man believes upon grossly insufficient evidence is an index into his desires -- desires of which he himself is often unconscious. If a man is offered a fact which goes against his instincts, he will scrutinize it closely, and unless the evidence is overwhelming, he will refuse to believe it. If, on the other hand, he is offered something which affords a reason for acting in accordance to his instincts, he will accept it even on the slightest evidence. The origin of myths is explained in this way." Bertrand Russell "Just in terms of allocation of time resources, religion is not very efficient. There's a lot more I could be doing on a Sunday morning." Bill Gates "Men never do evil so completely and cheerfully as when they do it from religious conviction." Blaise Pascal "To assert that the earth revolves around the sun is as erroneous as to claim that Jesus was not born of a virgin." Cardinal Bellarmine "Religion to me has always been the wound, not the bandage." Dennis Potter "I viewed my fellow man not as a fallen angel, but as a risen ape." Desmond Morris "Nothing can be more contrary to religion and the clergy than reason and common sense." Francois Marie Arouet (Voltaire) "In Heaven all the interesting people are missing." Friedrich Nietzsche "The fact that a believer is happier than a sceptic is no more to the point than the fact that a drunken man is happier than a sober one. The happiness of credulity is a cheap and dangerous quality." George Bernard Shaw "Religion is fundamentally opposed to everything I hold in veneration - courage, clear thinking, honesty, fairness, and, above all, love of the truth." Henry Mencken "Puritanism - the haunting fear that someone, somewhere, may be happy." Henry Mencken "We must repsect the other fellow's religion, but only in the sense and to the extent that we respect his theory that his wife is beautiful and his children are smart." Henry Mencken "A myth is a religion in which no one any longer believes." James Feibleman "What a queer thing is Christian salvation! Believing in firemen will not save a burning house; believing in doctors will not make one well, but believing in a savior saves men. Fudge!"
