Stephen Roberts 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

Humankind cannot gain anything without first giving something in return. To obtain, something of equal value must be lost. That is alchemy's first law of equivalent exchange. In those days, we really believed that to be the world's one and only truth.

I'll go a step further and leave out part of a word.
Men have had the vanity to pretend that the whole creation was made for them, while in reality the whole creation does not suspect their existence.
Camille Flammarion (1842-1925)
French astronomer

Men do not suspect their existence.
By dipping us children in the Bible so often, they hoped, I think, to give our lives a serious tint, and to provide us with quaintly magnificent snatches of prayer to produce as charms while, say, being mugged for our cash or jewels.

Annie Dillard (b. 1945)
US author, poet

By dipping us children in the Bible so often, they hoped, I think, for our cash or jewels.

I decided to quote mine from a Christian quote and change it into an atheistic quote.
The Holy Spirit makes a man a Christian, and if he is a Christian through the work of the Holy Spirit, that same Spirit draws him to other Christians in the church. An individual Christian is not Christian at all

R. Brokhoff

The Holy Spirit makes an individual christian not a Christian, but a man.
