Just a handful of my favorite quotes:
Philosophy is questions that may never be answered. Religion is answers that may never be questioned. - Unknown
Faith means not wanting to know what is true. - Friedrich Nietzsche
Belief in the supernatural reflects a failure of the imagination. - Edward Abbey
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? - Epicurus
Faith does not give you the answers, it just stops you asking the questions. - Frater Ravus
When one person suffers from a delusion, it is called insanity. When many people suffer from a delusion it is called religion. - Robert Pirsig
Absolute faith corrupts as absolutely as absolute power but absolute power is corrupt only in the hands of the absolutely faithful. - Anonymous |
excellent quotes red_devil....much to consider. |

Both are repetitive. . .There's nothing new under the sun in the theist/atheist debate. |
That's mostly because direct-from-the-Bible theology (from book to your mind, like all printed word) is helplessly repetitive, and because morality as it stands in the Bible is as repetitive, that is, unflinching--regardless of opinion. The fact that it's all been said before implies itself to be part of the book's plan. So all arguments for and against are, to say the least, familiar. |
