Theist and atheist: the fight between them is as to whether God shall be called God or shall have some other name. ↗

I noticed that all the prayers I used to offer to God, and all the prayers I now offer to Joe Pesci, are being answered at about the same fifty percent rate. Half the time I get what I want, half the time I don't...Same as the four-leaf clover and the horseshoe...same as the voodoo lady who tells you your fortune by squeezing the goat's testicles. It's all the same...so just pick your superstition, sit back, make a wish, and enjoy yourself... ↗

A young man who wishes to remain a sound atheist cannot be too careful of his reading. ↗

Atheists have as much conscience, possibly more, than people with deep religious conviction, and they still have the same problem of how they reconcile themselves to a bad deed in the past. It's a little easier if you've got a god to forgive you. ↗

Now, I'm an atheist. I really don't believe for a moment that our moral sense comes from a god. ↗
