Epicurus
“Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is impotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Whence then is evil?”
Ludwig Feuerbach
“It is not as in the Bible, that God created man in his own image. But, on the contrary, man created God in his own image.”
Bertrand Russell
“I do not pretend to be able to prove that there is no God. I equally cannot prove that Satan is a fiction. The Christian god may exist; so may the gods of Olympus, or of ancient Egypt, or of Babylon. But no one of these hypotheses is more probable than any other: they lie outside the region of even probable knowledge, and therefore there is no reason to consider any of them.”
"We may define "faith" as the firm belief in something for which there is no evidence. Where there is evidence, no one speaks of "faith." We do not speak of faith that two and two are four or that the earth is round. We only speak of faith when we wish to substitute emotion for evidence."
Delos B. McKown
"The invisible and the non-existent look very much alike."
Robert Ingersoll, The Gods
“Few nations have been so poor as to have but one god. Gods were made so easily, and the raw material cost so little, that generally the god market was fairly glutted, and heaven crammed with these phantoms.”
"This crime called blasphemy was invented by priests for the purpose of defending doctrines not able to take care of themselves."
"Hands that help are far better than lips that pray."
