I cannot believe in a God who wants to be praised all the time.
I contend that we are both atheists. I just believe in one fewer god than you do. When you understand why you dismiss all the other possible gods, you will understand why I dismiss yours.
I still say a church steeple with a lightning rod on top shows a lack of confidence.
Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?
Science is like a blabbermouth who ruins a movie by telling you how it ends! Well I say there are some things we don't want to know! Important things!
Men never commit evil so fully and joyfuly as when they do it for religious convictions.
So far as I can remember, there is not one word in the Gospels in praise of intelligence.
Praying is like a rocking chair-- it'll give you something to do, but it won't get you anywhere.
We must question the story logic of having an all-knowing all-powerful God, who creates faulty Humans, and then blames them for his own mistakes.

If a church sign says it, then it must be so:
