If it makes you feel better, why not. But don't tell the free thinkers that they're evil, you GOD DAMNED robots. Hehe!

Why do the preachers come in and post passages from their Microsoft Word bible documents they have saved on their computers? I'm not even an "Athiest!".
I believe in higher energy, just not the control system layed out. If one believes that a man lives in the sky and judges us all, why is it so hard to believe other things?
Theres a difference between shoving 'guilt' down peoples throats, and simply asking people to open their eyes for a second to the possibility of multiple truths.

I don't blame them, i blame society. People who are brainwashed don't usually know that they are brainwashed. The younger the victims are the more gullible they usually are. The only way to set them free, is to teach them to be more about skepticism.

The great trouble is that the preachers get the children from six to seven years of age and then it is almost impossible to do anything with them.
— Thomas Edison, (1847-1931)
There is no absurdity so obvious that it cannot be firmly planted in the human head if you only begin to impose it before the age of five, by constantly repeating it with an air of great solemnity.
— Arthur Schopenhauer
Give me child until the age of six and I will give you a Nazi for life.
— Adolph Hitler
Just think of the tragedy of teaching children not to doubt.
— Clarence Darrow
It is an interesting and demonstrable fact, that all children are atheists and were religion not inculcated into their minds, they would remain so.
— Ernestine Rose
It is difficult, none the less, for the ordinary man to cast off orthodox beliefs, for he is seldom allowed to hear the other side.... Whereas the Christian view is pressed on him day in and day out.
— Margaret Knight
Inspect every piece of pseudoscience and you will find a security blanket, a thumb to suck, a skirt to hold. What have we to offer in exchange? Uncertainty! Insecurity!
— Isaac Asimov
We preoccupy ourselves so much with changing the lives of others not out of proclaimed sentiments of selfless human charity, but out of our selfish desire to validate our own identities. There is, of course, enormous ego gratification in the exercise of power over other people, but such satisfaction is rooted in our need to have others believe and behave as we do.
— Butler D. Shaffer
So long as man remains free, he strives for nothing so incessantly and so painfully as to find someone to worship. But man seeks to worship what is established beyond dispute, so that all men would agree at once to worship it. For these pitiful creatures are concerned not only to find what one or the other can worship, but to find something that all would believe in and worship; what is essential is that all may be together in it. This craving for community of worship is the chief misery of every man individually and of all humanity from the beginning of time. For the sake of common worship, they've slain each other with the sword. They have set up gods and challenged one another, "Put away your gods and come and worship ours, or we will kill you and your gods!" And so it will be to the end of the world, even when gods disappear from the earth; they will fall down before idols just the same.
— Fyodor Dostoyevsky; (1821-1881)
