"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?"
- Epicurus

Sorry, no quotes from Iran.
"Love is patient, Love is kind… Love never fails." That is one of my favorite quotes. It is talking about like TRUE love, not just like-love like most people do.

The fact that a believer is happier than a sceptic is no more to the point than the fact that a drunken man is happier than a sober one. The happiness of credulity is a cheap and dangerous quality. – George Bernard Shaw
# Faith means not wanting to know what is true. – Friedrich Nietzsche
# I believe in God, only I spell it Nature. – Frank Lloyd Wright
# 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. – Gene Roddenberry
# To surrender to ignorance and call it God has always been premature, and it remains premature today. – Isaac Asimov
# A man is accepted into a church for what he believes and he is turned out for what he knows. – Samuel Clemens (Mark Twain)
# Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by the rulers as useful. – Seneca the Younger
# Philosophy is questions that may never be answered. Religion is answers that may never be questioned. – Anonymous
# Not only is there no god, but try getting a plumber on weekends. – Woody Allen
# If I were not an atheist, I would believe in a God who would choose to save people on the basis of the totality of their lives and not the pattern of their words. I think he would prefer an honest and righteous atheist to a TV preacher whose every word is God, God, God, and whose every deed is foul, foul, foul. – Isaac Asimov
# Belief in the supernatural reflects a failure of the imagination. – Edward Abbey
# With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion. – Steven Weinberg
# I still say a church steeple with a lightning rod on top shows a lack of confidence. – Doug McLeod
# The world holds two classes of men – intelligent men without religion, and religious men without intelligence. – Abu’l‐Ala al Ma’arri
# Since the Bible and the church are obviously mistaken in telling us where we came from, how can we trust them to tell us where we are going? – Anonymous
# I distrust those people who know so well what God wants them to do because I notice it always coincides with their own desires. – Susan B. Anthony
# The invisible and the non-existent look very much alike. – Delos B. McKown
# Two hands working can do more than a thousand clasped in prayer. – Anonymous
# Atheism leaves a man to sense, to philosophy, to natural piety, to laws, to reputation; all of which may be guides to an outward moral virtue, even if religion vanished; but religious superstition dismounts all these and erects an absolute monarchy in the minds of men. – Francis Bacon
# 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
# A God who kept tinkering with the universe was absurd; a God who interfered with human freedom and creativity was tyrant. If God is seen as a self in a world of his own, an ego that relates to a thought, a cause separate from its effect. he becomes a being, not Being itself. An omnipotent, all‐knowing tyrant is not so different from earthly dictators who make everything and everybody mere cogs in the machine which they controlled. An atheism that rejects such a God is amply justified. – Karen Armstrong
