"I have a fundamental belief in the Bible as the Word of God, written by men who were inspired. I study the Bible daily. Opposition to godliness is atheism in profession and idolatry in practice. Atheism is so senseless and odious to mankind that it never had many professors." - Sir Isaac Newton

"The Seventh Judicial Circuit of the Court of Appeals of the United States held that atheism is a religion and therefore it cannot be promoted by a public school. Currently public schools are promoting atheism through a dogmatic and uncritical teaching of materialistic theories of origins." - John Calvert, Intelligent Design leader

"Maybe the atheist cannot find God for the same reason a thief cannot find a policeman." - Francis Thompson

"Atheists put on false courage and alacrity in the midst of their darkness and apprehensions, like children who, when they fear to go in the dark, will sing for fear." - Alexander Pope

Joseph Addison
"To be an atheist requires an indefinitely greater measure of faith than to receive all the great truths which atheism would deny." - Joseph Addison, The Spectator, Mar. 8, 1711

"It is hard to see how a great man can be an atheist. Without the sustaining influence of faith in a divine power we could have little faith in ourselves. We need to feel that behind us is intelligence and love. Doubters do not achieve; skeptics do not contribute; cynics do not create. Faith is the great motive power, and no man realizes his full possibilities unless he has the deep conviction that life is eternally important, and that his work, well done, is a part of an unending plan." - Calvin Coolidge, speech, Jul. 25, 1924

"Among the repulsions of atheism for me has been its drastic un-interestingness as an intellectual position. Where was the ingenuity, the ambiguity, the humanity of saying that the universe just happened to happen and that when we're dead we're dead?" - John Updike

"God never wrought miracles to convince atheism, because his ordinary works convince it." - Sir Francis Bacon

"The habit of arguing in support of atheism, whether it be done from conviction or in pretense, is a wicked and impious practice." - Marcus Tullius Cicero (106–43 B.C.), Roman orator, philosopher, statesman

"...those who are not at all to be tolerated who deny the being of God. Promises, covenants, and oaths, which are the bonds of human society, can have no hold upon an atheist. The taking away of God, though but even in thought, dissolves all; besides also, those that by their atheism undermine and destroy all religion, can have no pretence of religion whereupon to challenge the privilege of a toleration. As for other practical opinions, though not absolutely free from all error, yet if they do not tend to establish domination over others, or civil impunity to the church in which they are taught, there can be no reason why they should not be tolerated." - John Locke

"I once wanted to become an atheist but I gave up . . . they have no holidays." - Henny Youngman

"He complained in no way of the evil reputation under which he lived, indeed, all over the world, and he assured me that he himself was of all living beings the most interested in the destruction of Superstition, and he avowed to me that he had been afraid, relatively as to his proper power, once only, and that was on the day when he had heard a preacher, more subtle than the rest of the human herd, cry in his pulpit: "My dear brethren, do not ever forget, when you hear the progress of lights praised, that the loveliest trick of the Devil is to persuade you that he does not exist!" - Charles Baudelaire's short story, The Generous Gambler written in 1864

TLR JEEEEEZZZZZ

pray to God that he allows you to spell better... and where are the "facts regarding atheism" as your title suggests? Quotes are facts to you?

And these quotes you've posted are really bottom o' the barrel level.

90% of these are childish and have no argument other than "Atheism has no holidayz, lolz losers!"

I dont care I just thought that they said some pretty funny stuff regarding someone who does not believe in a God. Especially these quotes:

"The Seventh Judicial Circuit of the Court of Appeals of the United States held that atheism is a religion and therefore it cannot be promoted by a public school. Currently public schools are promoting atheism through a dogmatic and uncritical teaching of materialistic theories of origins." - John Calvert, Intelligent Design leader

If there's no Allah, why do you not believe in him?

^fav quote^ of the lot

im sure the poor, misfortunate, sickly, stupid and incarcerated are really on to something, and have no need whatsoever for a crutch.

i like the % of these quotes from people born before there was an accepted theory of evolution

I do not have blind faith. I believe what I can see with my eyes. You can see it with your eyes also but choose not to believe it. Meaning the bible and the words written in it. They are just as visable as words on a newspaper. Except that the news papers we all know are so full of truth but yet so many people blindly believe in them. So you see that my believing is actually based on words that are clearly visable to everyman.

The real truth of the matter is that I trust in the words that claim to be God's words written by holy men of God who were inspired to write His word which is called the God Breathed word.

You do not, you trust in your own intellect ONLY, your own conclusions about life and the limited amount of knowledge you have. So you see there is a difference.

Some Christians use the words blind faith and agree with using those words, those words are not at all ever used in my vocabulary unless I am quoting something another said, because biblically God does not ask people to have blind faith. Blind faith leads to slaughter and who knows what else.

Pletho

Accepted theory of evolution by non believers in God you mean?

Why do you think that it is universally called a theory? What is a theory? It is not factual or provable or else it would be called a fact, thus it is called a theory.

The bible is never called a theory except by unbelievers in it and in God, go figure.

Pletho

This is what happens when you try to debate science when you don't understand what science is. You fail. I'd explain it, but you've said you won't change your mind, and you seem happy enough in your static ignorance, so why bother.

Pletho, there is at least one quotation up there that states that God placed the earth at precisely the correct location for life to exist. Well, here's my question whenever I hear something like that... if say the earth was 100k miles closer to the sun, or whatever would cause a change in temperature, atmosphere, etc.... wouldn't we all just look and act a littel different? maybe have 3 eyes or 5 legs? swim and live underwater? you get my point. It is a miracle that things align perfectly... but had they been any different, we'd probably just live in differently "perfectly aligned" world. Make sense?

this is amazing

good post, tho there are some lame quotes there too

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francis...ns_(geneticist)

yeah, only godless heathens accept the theory of evolution...

Makes no sense to me at all. Because if we were that much closer we would not exist. Our bodies can only handle so much heat. You are thinking along the lines of adaption by evolution. I agree we can adapt to tempetures but 100 thousand miles would not be adaptable either way closer or further.

I agree there are some lame quotes I didn't spend much time finding great knock you down in the dirt and lol quotes. Just spent enough time to ruffle the feathers of a few on this forum. Kinda like they do all the time, always looking for something to one up or discredit a believer in God. Call it debate or whatever you want, its just unbelief spreading unbelief and trying to shut up believers.

Pletho

isn't this like the definition of being a troll?

Here is the defintion of a troll which the mass majority of posters in this forum fit into. Difference is that I admitted that I posted something to get the feathers of some on here ruffled up while the others who are on here (athiest) will not admit that the majority of the things they say are meant to be inflammatory and to stir up the believers.

If they delete this thread I will have no problem with it. But If they do I think that to be fair the person who does it should go through ALL the posts and delete ALL the inflammatory posts that have been made by EVERYONE! That would be non hypocritical, unbiased and fair. And give all that have made inflammatory posts a warning.

Maybe I should go through ALL the posts my self and find all the inflammatory ones and post them in a specific thread called inflammatory posts thread, that way we could all see who has done it?

Irrelevant or off-topic is another thing that happens on here by so many athiest. Anyone with their eyes open and who can read can see this happens all the time. The majority of my posts are not meant to be inflammatory they are me being honest, they just happen to inflame some people with views and beliefs that are opposite of mine.

Short Troll Definition:Troll

An Internet troll, or simply troll in Internet slang, is someone who posts controversial, inflammatory, irrelevant or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum or chat room, with the primary intent of provoking other users into an emotional response or to generally disrupt normal on-topic discussion.


Pletho

with the primary intent of provoking other users into an emotional response

Look I already admitted to why I posted it, what is your point? I think that the quotes for the most part are injoyed by the athiest because alot the quotes are lame. So more than anything it just gives them something to do like rebuttle with some comment about how lame the quotes were.

I personally could care less if they deleted the thread. Its entertainment, I admit at the expense of the athiest for once but so is the majority of their posts, they just PRETEND to be sincere in the asking of their rediculous questions all the while trying to evoke a emotional reaction from a believer.

So you have a honest guy "me" and a bunch of dishonest guys who hide and pretend to really want answers. Go ahead and shut up the honest guys and if you can't beat'em ban them, its always been done this way, while under a cloak and hidden the real evil is going on.
