"The God of the Old Testament is arguably the most unpleasant character in all fiction: jealous and proud of it; a petty, unjust, unforgiving control-freak; a vindictive, bloodthirsty ethnic cleanser; a misogynistic, homophobic, racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal, sadomasochistic, capriciously malevolent bully."
-- Richard Dawkins
Another interesting quote I found on the internet:
"religion is not a nice thing, it causes and gives way to bigotry, hatred, sexism, racism, violence, terrorism, child abuse, wars, poverty, famine and ethnic cleansings and all in the name of absurd ideas of bronze age gods.... and it retards the education of people by giving them wrong ideas of the world around us" -- HSUR2112
Thank goodness the American voters threw this idiot out:
"No, I don't know that atheists should be regarded as citizens, nor should they be regarded as patriotic. This is one nation under God.… I support the separation of church and state. I'm just not very high on atheists."
(George H.W. Bush)
