Favorite Quotes about Atheism, Agnosticism, And Religion

the denial of observation so that belief can be preserved.
—Tim Minchin (Australian comedic minstrel)
I'm a creationist; I believe that man created God.

Favorite Quotes about Atheism, Agnosticism, And Religion
“The problem with faith is that it is really a conversation stopper. Faith is a declaration of immunity to the powers of conversation. It is a reason, why you do not have to give reasons, for what you believe.” (Sam Harris)
“I expect to pass this way but once; any good therefore that I can do, or any kindness that I can show to any fellow creature, let me do it now. Let me not defer or neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again.” (Etienne De Grellet)

So many conservatives like attributing certain people to quotes when those people never produced those quotes, and Mark Twain is one of them. I never know if the quote is really from that person or not.

I can't cite the exact source of that quote, but as I recall, Hal Holbrook used it in his long-running stage show Mark Twain Tonight!

Apropos of nothing, this triggered a memory of a comedy routine I saw once that referred to a particularly snooty church as "The First Church of the Frigidaire ... where many are cold, but few are frozen." (a humorous perversion of the Biblical aphorism, "many are called, but few are chosen").

Favorite Quotes about Atheism, Agnosticism, And Religion
"We do not wish to be forgiven, but we wish Christians to so act that we will not have to forgive them. If all will admit that all have an equal right to think, then the question is forever solved; but as long as organized and powerful churches, pretending to hold the keys of heaven and hell, denounce every person as an outcast and criminal who thinks for himself and denies their authority, the world will be filled with hatred and suffering. To hate man and worship God seems to be the sum of all the creeds.” (Robert G. Ingersoll)
“I expect to pass this way but once; any good therefore that I can do, or any kindness that I can show to any fellow creature, let me do it now. Let me not defer or neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again.” (Etienne De Grellet)
