I want to believe as many true things and as few false things as possible.

I want to believe as many true things and as few false things as possible.
It's a meaningless panacea when we invent a god that can do anything and be anything… It serves as an answer to every question and an explanation for nothing.
You are better than your god. You are better than your religion. So am I, so is damn near everybody on the planet. I wish you people would wake up and see this. Stop apologizing for this! [holds up The Bible] It's not the Good Book, there's nothing good about it. All it does is poison minds. All it does is make you sacrifice your humanity— the only thing that you have that is of any value— in order to sit around in deference to your gods.
A god that rewards credulity, a god that sanctions slavery, is unworthy of any kind of reverence or respect or devotion.
A god that does not manifest in reality is indistinguishable from a god that does not exist.
Despite people's claims to the contrary, I think that a proper application of skepticism when viewing religious claims does necessarily lead to atheism.
Evidently god stupidly created a system where the devil wins by default. Okay, I'm gonna set up this game with you and I'm gonna give you all the chips and the chips have to voluntarily choose to come over to my side of the table. Who sets up a game like that?!
So basically what you're saying is you believe this to be true despite the fact that you have no evidence to support that [statement]
Existence is a temporal condition.
I don't think it's an accurate definition of morality.
Is there anything that one couldn't believe based on faith?
