Message: <blockquote data-quote="Richard Dawkins" data-source="post: 5652351" data-attributes="member: 243024">Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day; teach a man to fish and he will eat for a lifetime; give a man religion and he will die praying for a fish.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?What is God? God is the cavemans answer to where the fire came from. If I was lightning I would want to kick some ass.One of the great tragedies of mankind is that morality has been hijacked by religion.When I was a kid I used to pray every night for a new bicycle. Then I realised that the Lord doesn't work that way so I stole one and asked Him to forgive meReligion is excellent stuff for keeping common people quietReligion does three things quite effectively: Divides people, Controls people, Deludes people.History teaches us that no other cause has brought more death than the word of god.The sailor does not pray for wind, he learns to sailIf God is all-knowing, then why does He have to judge us when He already knows from the beginning how we're going to end up good or bad?Believing there is no God gives me more room for belief in family, people, love, truth, beauty, and all the other things I can prove and that make this life the best life I will ever have.And on the trillionth day, Man created Gods.Children are born without religion, don't give them your nerosis.It's better to live in freedom for one life time than to be a slave of God for an eternity.If god created my brain I'm certain he approves of its usage.question everything or believe anythingYou can be good without godGods dont kill people. People with Gods kill peopleThe universe seems to be more than 99.9(recurring)% incompatible with human life as does 80% of this planet's surface. If this is intelligently 'designed', whoever did it was a ****** idiot.children are born atheist till religion infected them like a disease.Wasn't god clever making us 98.5% chimpanzee and hiding lots of fossils that show a long line of ancestors throughout evolution JUST to "test" our faith! The guy must be pissing himself laughing...theist: you're going to hellatheist: i'll see you there thentheist: oh i'm far too pious to go to hellatheist: so you practice all religions equally??theist: don't be silly, i'm a pure (insert religion here)atheist: then yep; you'll be going to SOMEBONE'S hellThe only really useful thing to learn from the bible or koran is that no matter where they're born or educated, the vast majority of humans are essentially pretty dumb.Just because you want it to be true, doesn't mean it is. Just because billions believe, doesn't mean they should. Oh, and just because the truth hurts doesn't stop it being true!Look at a picture of the Elephant Man and then tell me you still believe in the beauty of Intelligent Design.Hands that help are far better than lips that pray"Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by rulers as useful."Religion is the biggest joke humankind has ever played on itself.Science flies people to the moon, religion flies people into buildings.Science is wrong according to you ,the world was created by God: But when did god ever cure all your diseases, give you computers or build cars?Religion is a virus and knowledge is the cure.Religion is an insult to human dignity. With or without it 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.Animals do not have gods, they are smarter than thatReligion is proof that we still aren't using our brains to their full potential.Why do people trust in god? Because it's easier to follow a leader, even an imaginary one, than to be responsible for yourself."Nine out of 10 suicide bombers agree: God is GreatMost of the people would destroy the Truth if the Truth was about to destroy their religion.Belief in a cruel God makes a cruel manBelieving is easier than thinking. Hence so many more believers than thinkers. Why doesn't one of the holy books contain something about DNA, the microchip, global warming, the universe, space exploration and maybe how to cure cancer? Oh I forgot, those books were written thousands of years ago by ignorant men... not omniscient godsIf you talk to God, you are praying;If God talks to you, you have schizophrenia.If people are good only because they fear punishment, and hope for reward, then we are a sorry lot indeed.If you believe in a god simply because "everyone else" does, proves only that you have the "herd mentality" of a lemming. It doesn't prove that your god exists.now tell me good sir, is it god that makes fools, or fools that make gods?If you think about it, God has a hand in every war ever fought. Who needs a God like that?Religion is the biggest killing machine known.Not even a nuclear war could kill so many people,as religion did.The Lord gave us hands in order to pray to him, gave us feet n order to kneel before him, gave us mouth in order to say His divine words.Why exactly did he give us brain?I think it disturbing when a man will thank a god he has never seen nor met, for a meal he is about to eat. But, he will not thank the man who prepared the meal.<img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/happy.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":)" title="Happy    :)" data-shortname=":)" /><img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/happy.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":)" title="Happy    :)" data-shortname=":)" /><img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/happy.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":)" title="Happy    :)" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
