The Quotable Atheist

June 29, 2013 3 Comments

“Religion has convinced people that there’s an invisible man … living in the sky. Who watches everything you do every minute of every day. And the invisible man has a list of ten specific things he doesn’t want you to do. And if you do any of these things, he will send you to a special place, of burning and fire and smoke and torture and anguish for you to live forever, and suffer, and suffer, and burn, and scream, until the end of time. But he loves you. He loves you. He loves you and he needs money.”
― George Carlin

“Isn’t it enough to see that a garden is beautiful without having to believe that there are fairies at the bottom of it too?”
― Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy

“That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence.”
― Christopher Hitchens

“All thinking men are atheists.”
― Ernest Hemingway, A Farewell to Arms

“Those who can make you believe absurdities, can make you commit atrocities.”
― Voltaire

About Shitij Bagga
I am a blogger, writer, amateur photographer, obsessive reader. I like writing short stories and some of my works are published as multiformat ebooks, that can be downloaded from Smashwords. My author's page at Smashwords is: https://www.smashwords.com/profile/view/shitijbagga I am a huge fan of reading and collecting books of almost all genres. I love reading science, philosophy, literature and fiction, psychology, biographies, history, leadership, etc. I am a habitual reader and not a single day passes by without me having read at least a page out of any one of my hundred plus book collection. My favorite works being the complete collection of Sherlock Holmes as well as the complete Jeeves and Wooster series by PG Wodehouse. Reading is a part of me that I can never let go and so most of my blogs would be based on ideas that I got from reading. Photography is also one of my hobbies and I love clicking pictures of the places that I visit. I will be uploading some of my favorite pictures in my blog as well.

I love books and witty conversation so I am quite relieved to see WRITING, atheisim and HUMOUR together because my list would read WRITING, chrisitan spirituality, contemplation and HUMOUR. Three of my interesting fellow bloggers are atheists; are you open minded?

  Well, depends on how u define open minded. I would say I contemplate all things deeply but prevent myself from being gullible. I have seen some people ruining their own lives and lives of their lived ones because of their personal gullibility.

    oh not to CHANGE each other’s thoughts but to understand.
    
    Actually my sort of ‘knowing’ is not left-brained but intuitive so it might drive you crazy; it is not merely intellectual. Ha… my husband is spiritual but a linear thinker. I happen to think that i am quite logical in a circular sort of thinking
