Default Interesting aethist quotes.
I came across these two quotations. Thought I would share them.

First one is just amusing:
Quote:
Whenever we read the obscene stories, the voluptuous debaucheries, the cruel and torturous executions, the unrelenting vindictiveness with which more than half the Bible is filled, it would be more consistent that we call it the word of a Demon than the word of God. It is a history of wickedness that has served to corrupt and brutalize [hu]mankind.” ~~ Thomas Paine
This one, is on point:
Quote:
“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.” - Stephen Roberts.

I love the second quote.

Can't say fairer than that

The second quote is great. As for the first quote I thought Thomas Paine wasn't an atheist.

True. He seemed to believe in god but opposed all organized religions.
