Din partea acelor oameni minunati care ti-au adus Inchizitia


"Cat profit ne-a adus povestea cu Cristos!"
Pope Leo X (As attributed by John Bale, Bishop of Ossory, in The Pageant of Popes, p. 179, 1574)
"I am surrounded by priests who repeat incessantly that their kingdom is not of this world, and yet they lay their hands on everything they can get." -- Napoleon Bonaparte
Man is certainly stark mad: he cannot make a worm, yet he will make gods by the dozen.
~ Michel de Montaigne
Which is it, is man one of God's blunders or is God one of man's?
~ Nietzsche
Men will never be free until the last king is strangled with the entrails of the last priest.
~ Denis Diderot
All great truths begin as blasphemies.
~ George Bernard Shaw

If you can conceive of morality without god, why can you not conceive of society without government?
~ Peter Saint-André

The philosopher has never killed any priests, whereas the priest has killed a great many philosophers.
~ Denis Diderot

A man's ethical behavior should be based effectually on sympathy, education, and social ties and needs; 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

If you talk to God, you are praying. If God talks to you, you have schizophrenia.
~ Thomas Szasz

It was, of course, a lie what you read about my religious convictions, a lie which is being systematically repeated. I do not believe in a personal god and I have never denied this but have expressed it clearly. If something is in me which can be called religious, then it is the unbounded admiration for the structure of the world so far as our science can reveal it.
~ Albert Einstein
You know your god is man-made when he hates all the same people you do.
~ [Usenet]
As with the Christian religion, the worst advertisement for Socialism is its adherents.
~ George Orwell
Religion is what keeps the poor from murdering the rich.
~ Napoleon

If child molestation is actually your concern, how come we don't see Bradley tanks knocking down Catholic churches?
~ Bill Hicks, 1993, referencing the Waco siege

I like your Christ; I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ.
~ Mohandas Gandhi

The same people that wrote the bible thought the world was flat.
~ Unknown - (disputed)

If god created us in his image we have certainly returned the compliment.
~ Voltaire

With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.
- Steven Weinberg

"Science with religion is lame ; religion without science is blind. Science without religion is useful, religion with science is useless."
- Albert Einstein

"If God is omniscient, why do I have to pray to him? Doesn't he already know what I need?"
- Claire K. Rivero
"Any god that requires small minded bigots to speak for it, is not worth the breath it takes to pray." -- Jesper Myrfors

The Bible devotes some 500 verses on prayer, less than 500 verses on faith, but over 2000 verses on money and possessions.
