More Famous Atheist Quotes

Some good ones in here, I'm going to try to add the ones I don't have to the 'Famous Atheist Quotes' page.
I'm also thinking of doing an atheist quote of the day thing as well. If you have any atheist quote suggestions, or a quote of your own, put it in the comment section, thanks. 

Atheist Comedian Keith Lowell Jensen

It would be funny if atheists went door-to-door with copies of the Origin Of Species to hand out, especially in the south or in Utah. Atheists should put signs on their door that read: "Missionaries: feel welcome to knock on the door, we need more toilet paper" or something like that...

Al Qaeda Populating U.S. With Peaceful 'Decoy Muslims' ?!

If you are offended by this video, you have a poor sense of humor (and sarcasm). This video is obviously satire to point out the irrational fear of all Muslims. Moderate Muslims should not be feared, and I believe the vast majority of Muslims in the United States are moderates. Hell (npi), fundamentalist Christians have been known to be dangerous/offensive, just look at the Westboro Baptist Church (they picket soldiers' funerals with signs like "thank God for dead soldiers" etc.

With that said, I do think that certain beliefs do not mix well inside a secular society, luckily we have a constitution to keep such people in check (not naming names of course). For example, Mormons are not allowed to engage in polygamy, they had to give that up to live in this country (well, unless they live on a secret compound).  

As long as everyones' rights are protected, everything will continue on like clockwork in the United States; as FDR said: "we have nothing to fear but fear itself".

Ray Comfort: Is it Wrong to Judge? (relativism)

I actually agree with some of what they say. Relativism-logic is taken way too far, and applied to way to many things (religion for example). Relativism is psuedo-intellectual word-play. All questions have an answer, regardless if we have access to that answer. I think many atheists agree (and probably many disagree), that there are moral truths (not just "opinions") within the context of a human society. Relativism just an easy way of dealing with reality, even though it provides no real answers, just false ones that satisfy the ego (like using God to explain everything).

"No love lost in cheating" (discussion on the mentality of people that cheat in relationships)

I recently had a discussion with my girlfriend about people that cheat in relationships. Apparently her friend's former boyfriend had another, more dedicated relationship (he was married), and her friend was just something on the side. It seems as if this mentality exists within many individuals. The question is: why do people cheat?

No love lost in cheating?


Regardless of what a cheater claims, when they cheat, they are doing so because they do not feel love towards the individual they are cheating on; that does not mean that they do not "like" the person, however that "like" is probably in a sensual context. No person that has a true love of another would ever cheat on them. As Jesus said in the Bible, "to lust after another person is to commit adultery in the heart", and this is true. But, as I am arguing, a person that is truly in love would never cheat (love and commitment go hand-in-hand).

Bold claim? Well, it's not, and it is also not a bold claim that people can lose an infatuation with someone, which can be mistaken for "love"; infatuation can lead to love, but love is not infatuation. A cheater does not lose love in the individual that they have cheated on; this is because there is no love to be lost.

If a person lusts (or desires) to be with another person, they do not truly love the person they are with at the moment. Those that lust after others, and stay in a relationship (without physically cheating) perhaps feel guilty about the feelings they are experience (or feel that "desire" is unattainable). If you find yourself not being faithful "in the heart", perhaps you should seriously consider breaking up with the person you are with now—for the sake of both parties. Relationships that are held together by sensuality and convenience (need a relationship, want better, but can't get it) are going to fail in the longterm.

Helpful Advice


If you notice that your partner is lusting after others, perhaps you should have a discussion with them. You should inquire if they wish they were in a different relationship, or if they wish they could do better. Chances are if you have a hunch that they do, they probably do, and if they do, then your relationship will probably fail in the longterm.

Romance without love is not romance, but a mere sexual lust that will fade in time; a relationship held together by love will last forever. Of course you cannot truly love someone after only knowing them for a short while. If you do not love the person you are with, and have been with them long enough to know whether or not you will (longer than a few weeks, no longer than a year), you should leave and look elsewhere.

Many people (men specifically) are solely interested in the sensual aspects of a relationship, the emotional aspect is something they wish to avoid (which is why many men have problems with being committed, and don't want to "talk" about emotional things). If your man doesn't want to "talk", then this should be a sign that he is not in love with you, and vice-versa. People that are in love care about their partner's feelings as much as they care about their own. Sensuality can bring you to love, but it can also prevent you from finding it, make finding love your goal.
