Post Description
"This slim, attractive volume will amuse nonbelievers—and, ironically, cause them to spend hours reading about God and religion."
—Boston Globe
The Atheist Bible is a handy little book that consists of quotes from mostly atheist or agnostics and some other popular people such as Oscar Wilde, Ernest Hemingway, Ian McKellen, Albert Einstein etc.
Some memorable quotes from the book:
"Perhaps our role on this planet is not to worship God but to create Him."
ARTHUR C. CLARKE
"As for me, I've long resolved not to think whether man created God or God man."
FYODOR DOSTOYEVSKY
"Do you think I am superstitious? I am a super-atheist."
MOHANDAS K. GANDHI
"We shall tell ourselves that it would be very nice if there were a God who created the world and was a benevolent Providence, and if there were a moral order in the universe and an after-life; but it is a very striking fact that all this is exactly as we are bound to wish it to be."
SIGMUND FREUD
"All thinking men are atheists."
ERNEST HEMINGWAY
"Martyrdom ... is the only way in which a man can become famous without ability."
GEORGE BERNARD SHAW
"You can't convince a believer of anything; for their belief is not based on evidence, it's based on a deep-seated need to believe."
CARL SAGAN
"Faith is the great cop-out, the great excuse to evade the need to think and evaluate evidence. Faith is belief in spite of, even perhaps because of, the lack of evidence."
RICHARD DAWKINS
"Religion is what keeps the poor from murdering the rich."
NAPOLEON BONAPARTE
"Well, I've often thought that the Bible should have a disclaimer at the front saying, "This is fiction." I mean, walking on water? I mean, it takes an act of faith."
IAN MCKELLEN
"[Religious thought is] an attempt to find an out where there is no door."
ALBERT EINSTEIN
"Properly read, the Bible is the most potent force for atheism ever conceived."
ISAAC ASIMOV
"I'm not a bad guy! I work hard, and I love my kids. So why should I spend half my Sunday hearing about how I'm going to Hell?"
HOMER SIMPSON :)
