I threw out all the bath water, and there was no baby there.

I have an Easter challenge for Christians. My challenge is simply this: tell me what happened on Easter. I am not asking for proof. My straightforward request is merely that Christians tell me exactly what happened on the day that their most important doctrine was born.

People are always asking, "What's the purpose of life?" That's easy. Relieve suffering. Create beauty. Make gardens.

Most Christians are afraid that people will think for themselves; most atheists are afraid that they won’t.

All you have to do is walk into any children's hospital and you know there is no God. Prayer doesn't make any difference. Those people pray for their beloved children to live and they die.

It turns out that the word atheism means much less than I had thought. It is merely the lack of theism.

I'm proud to be an atheist - it helps me stand for so much more and fall for so much less.
