9) We are accountable to ourselves, our friends and families, our jobs
and various organizations we may belong to, but we are not accountable
to a vicious sky pixie created by ignorant, frightened sheperds
thousands of years ago. There is no such thing as sin - that is merely a
very dangerous concept created by the powerful to control the weak.
There is no hell, no devil, no demons, no heaven, no angels, no gods.
These are all concepts from the childhood of humanity which do more harm
than good. It's time for humanity to grow up, dump its mind-controlling
myths and learn how to accept responsibility for its own actions.

6) Of course, this is *****-backwards.

Imagine a world where it's 2 o'clock in the morning and your baby is
running a high fever. You're worried and getting scared. You get the
baby out to the drive way only to discover that cars haven't been
invented yet, because your church has successfully blocked scientific
developement. So you walk to the hospital only to discover the hospital
isn't there. ... It hasn't been invented, since the world's scientists
are burning at the stake for contradicting the teachings of the Catholic
Church.

But wait! We can always pray for the little *****.

Here are the nominations for Atheist Quote of the Month for September
2005. ...

7) In response to:

Can we be good without God?

It's a stupid, droolingly nasty question posed by sociopathic bigots
projecting their own amoral need for an imaginary alpha male to tell
them how to behave towards others, onto everybody else.

1) In response to:

The atheist position is impossible

The atheist position is not impossible. In fact according to my
lover, the atheist position is quite erotic.

You are probably just not flexible enough.

By: Liz
Nominated: stoney
Seconded: The other Donald

3) In respomse to:

The old saying "There are no atheists in foxholes" turns out to be
virtually correct, at least for the U.S. armed forces.

On the contrary, there are no theists in foxholes. Foxholes are
populated by 100% atheists. The theists are standing up and getting
shot, sure that God will "do the right thing" with respect to guns,
grenades, and poison gas. Everyone who ever jumped into a foxhole,
regardless of what religion they claimed to subscribe to, is someone
who, for just that brief moment, did not believe in God; they did not
believe that the bullets would not hit them or that heaven existed to
receive them if one should.

4) Tell me Dave, do you see a doctor?

If you were in a car wreck with your wife, and the EMT said she needed
to be transported to a trauma center immediately, or she would die, what
would your response be?

A. "Please hurry and save my wife!"

B. "Don't bother, since her death means that she will be seated at the
Lord's table all the sooner."

In all my years I've never met a Christian who in the end welcomed
death. Even though according to your faith it should mark the beginning
of paradise! I'm not talking about suicide, but just letting diseases
have their way, or not accepting medical aid.

You all have that will to live that trumps whatever you spout off in
church, since deep down you know this might be all there is.

One need not be religious to lead a life guided by spiritual principles

but the thought of a

And Hell is, amongst other things, a wonderful weapon of delayed social
justice. "Obey those God has set over you here and now and you'll be
rewarded in Heaven while those who have oppressed you will sizzle in
Hell, but whatever you don't disturb the status quo and above all don't
rebel....". Persuade people that this place really exists and that the
only means of salvation is to be obedient to the current interpretation
of Gods' word and you can get them to rape their grandmothers if they
think it'll keep them out of it."
