We Can Never Put Enough Distance Between Ourselves And What We Love. To Think That God Is, Is Still To Think Of Him As Present; This Is A Thought According To Our Measure, Destined Only To Console Us. It Is Much More Fitting To Think That God Is Not, Just As We Must Love Him Purely Enough That We Could Be Indifferent To The Fact That He Should Not Be. It Is For This Reason That The Atheist Is Closer To God Than The Believer.

Who Knew That The Devil Had A Factory Where He Made Millions Of Fossils, Which His Minions Distributed Throughout The Earth, In Order To Confuse My Tiny Brain?

Faith: Belief Without Evidence In What Is Told By One Who Speaks Without Knowledge, Of Things Without Parallel.
The Atheist Waits For Proof Of God. Till That Proof Comes He Remains, As His Name Implies, Without God. His Mind Is Open To Every New Truth, After It Has Passed The Warder Reason At The Gate.
The Position Of The Atheist Is A Clear And Reasonable One. I Know Nothing About ‘god’ And Therefore I Do Not Believe In Him Or In It; What You Tell Me About Your God Is Self‐contradictory, And Therefore Incredible. I Do Not Deny ‘god,’ Which Is An Unknown Tongue To Me; I Do Deny Your God, Who Is An Impossibility. I Am Without God.
No Philosophy, No Religion, Has Ever Brought So Glad A Message To The World As This Good News Of Atheism.
A Belief Which Leaves No Place For Doubt Is Not A Belief; It Is A Superstition.
We Find The Most Terrible Form Of Atheism, Not In The Militant And Passionate Struggle Against The Idea Of God Himself, But In The Practical Atheism Of Everyday Living, In Indifference And Torpor. We Often Encounter These Forms Of Atheism Among Those Who Are Formally Christians.
