I've been an atheist since I was nine years old. And my mom is really religious, so we have a strange relationship. But if my mother was right, what would be the reason that the gods could let anything bad happen in the world? ↗

What a 'kidder' the creationists' God must be. ↗

Sometimes when I'm faced with an atheist, I am tempted to invite him to the greatest gourmet dinner that one could ever serve, and when we have finished eating that magnificent dinner, to ask him if he believes there's a cook. ↗

I’m an atheist, and a militant atheist when religion starts impacting on legislation. ↗
