Richard Dawkins - 'The God delusion'

"The God of the Old Testament is arguably the most unpleasant character in all fiction: jealous and proud of it; a petty, unjust, unforgiving control-freak; a vindictive, blood thirsty ethnic cleanser; a misogynistic, homophobic, racist, infanticide, genocide, filicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal, sadomasochistic, capriciously, malevolent bully."

NUN: “Let me get this straight; you don't believe in God because of Alice in Wonder Land?”
ANGEL: “But through the looking glass, that poem the Wolress and the Carpenter, that's an inditment of organised religion. The Walress with his girth and his good nature he obviously represents either Buda or with his tasks the Hindu elephant God Lord Ganesha; that takes care of youre Eastern Religions. Now the carpenter is an obvious reference to Jesus Christ who raised a carpenters son he represents the Western religions. And in that poem what do they do?... what do they do? They doop all these oysters into following them and then they proceed to shock and devour the headless creatures in mass. I don't know what that says to you, but to me it says that following these fakes based on my theological figures insures the destruction of ones inner being...organised religion destroys who we are by inhibiting our actions, by inhibiting our decisions out of fear of some intangible parent figure from thousands of years ago who shakes his hand and says do it and I'll fucken spank you"
“Dogma” - movie

Priest: “No one is going to help you Bubby, because there isn't anyone out there to do it; no one... we're all just complicated arrangements of atoms and sub-atomic particles, we don't live; but our atoms do move about in such a way to give us identity and consciousness. We don't die our atoms just rearrange themselves. There is no God, it's ridiculous to think in terms of a superior being; an inferior being maybe because we...we who don't even exist, we arrange our lives with more order and harmony than God ever arranged the earth. We measure, we plot, we create wonderful music, we are the architects of our own existence. What a lunatic concept to bow down before a God who slaughters millions of innocent children...who slowly an aggonisingly starves them to death, beats them, tortures them, rejects them. What folly to even think that we should not insult such a God. Damn him! Think Him out existence. It is our duty to think God out of existence. It is our duty to insult Him! Fuck you God! Strike me down if you dare you tirerent...you non existent fraud! It is the duty of all hundan beings to think God out of existence; then we have a future. Because then and only then do we take full responsibility for who we really are. And that's what you must do Bubby...think God out of existence. Take responsibility for who you are!”

“You know, today the church is in a terrible state, the bucks are just not rolling in like they use to and when the bucks don't come in the church comes up with a new gymic to make you spend to go to heaven. Now I know you don't know what I'm talking about but what the fuck, but anyway listen to this ladies and gentleman when the church wants to get your money they remind you about hell. If you commit a sin you are going to go to hell...well ladies and gentleman there ain't no hell, there is no such thing as hell, there is no hell; there is only France!”

“Every faith in the world is based on fabrication. That is the definition of faith-acceptance of that which we imagine to be true, that which we cannot prove. Every religion describes God through metaphor, allegory & exaggeration, from the early Egyptians through modern Sunday school. Metaphors are a way to help our minds process the unprosesable. The problems arise when we begin to believe literally in our own metaphors.”
Dan Brown - “Angels & Demonds”

“Reason is a narrow system swollen into ideology.
With time and power it has become a
Dogma, devoid of direction and disguised
As disinterested inquiry
Like most religious, reason presents itself as
The solution to the problems it has created”

“God came into consciousness because man was able to think of Him into existence.”

God must find it exceedingly odd when
He finds the tree continues to be

and that is why the tree continues to be
Since observed by yours faithfully God.”

Woody Allen - 'Match Point'

“…if you rely on your own rational thinking, then you're pretty well saying, "I can out-think God and I'll decide for myself if he's there or not," and you can't out-think God. And if there's no God, don't bother thinking about it. It's all a waste of time.”
Mike Willesee on “Enough Rope” – Andrew Denton Show
