Text Quotes
The 9/11 terrorist attack was a faith-based initiative  (Dan Barker Quotes) Please clean up after your dogma  (Dan Barker Quotes) The trouble is that neutrality is confused with hostility. We’re not disrupting churches, or interrupting people’s prayers. We’re not fighting religion.  (Dan Barker Quotes) 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  (Dan Barker Quotes) Freethinkers reject faith as a valid tool of knowledge. Faith is the opposite of reason because reason imposes very strict limits on what can be true, and faith has no limits at all. A Great Escape into faith is no retreat to safety. It is nothing less than surrender  (Dan Barker Quotes) There is joy in rationality, happiness in clarity of mind. Freethought is thrilling and fulfilling - absolutely essential to mental health and happiness  (Dan Barker Quotes) I am an atheist because there is no evidence for the existence of God. That should be all that needs to be said about it: no evidence, no belief  (Dan Barker Quotes) The longer I have been an atheist, the more amazed I am that I ever believed Christian notions  (Dan Barker Quotes) There are many gods which Christians reject. I just believe in one less God then they do. The reasons that you might give for your atheism toward the Roman gods are likely the same reasons I would give for not believing in Jesus  (Dan Barker Quotes) If the Prodigal Son’s a parable, and if Adam and Eve are metaphors, then maybe God is just figure of speech  (Dan Barker Quotes) Atheists are suffering from bad PR. What if Sesame Street had an atheist character?  (Dan Barker Quotes) Basic atheism is not a belief. It is the lack of belief. There is a difference between believing there is no God and not believing there is a God - both are atheistic, though popular usage has ignored the latter  (Dan Barker Quotes) For my money, I’ll bet on reason and humanistic kindness. Even if I am wrong I will have enjoyed my life, the existence of which is under little dispute  (Dan Barker Quotes) Truth does not demand belief. Scientists do not join hands every Sunday, singing, ‘Yes, gravity is real! I will have faith!’  (Dan Barker Quotes) Isn’t atheism just another religion?’ No, it isn’t. Atheism has no creeds, rituals, holy book, absolute moral code, origin myth, sacred spaces or shrines. It has no sin, divine judgment, forbidden words, prayer, worship, prophecy, group privileges, or anointed ‘holy’ leaders. Atheists don’t believe in a transcendent world or supernatural afterlife. Most important, there is no orthodoxy in atheism  (Dan Barker Quotes) How happy can you be when you think every action and thought is being monitored by a judgmental ghost ?  (Dan Barker Quotes) I took about a year to fully adjust. Like there’s a death at the family or a divorce, you don’t just snap your fingers and it’s over.  (Dan Barker Quotes) Truth does not demand belief  (Dan Barker Quotes) Prayer never changes the laws of nature  (Dan Barker Quotes) Faith is not the result of fuzy thinking. It is the cause of it  (Dan Barker Quotes) I threw out all the bath water, and there was no baby there  (Dan Barker Quotes) We were blood brothers, pals forever. He was my very best friend. Nobody else could see him. I now know he was just pretend  (Dan Barker Quotes) I took about a year to fully adjust. Like there’s a death at the family or a divorce, you don’t just snap your fingers and it’s over  (Dan Barker Quotes) The trouble is that neutrality is confused with hostility. We’re not disrupting churches, or interrupting people’s prayers. We’re not fighting religion  (Dan Barker Quotes) Look at the posture of prayer. It is the posture of slavery, of bowing before your master. We are a proudly rebellious country. We kicked out the master. Now here comes the government telling us to humbly bow again  (Dan Barker Quotes) It turns out that the word atheism means much less than I had thought. It is merely the lack of theism  (Dan Barker Quotes) It’s not easy to change world views. Faith has its own momentum and belief is comfortable. To restructure reality is traumatic and scary. That is why many intelligent people continue to believe: unbelief is an unknown  (Dan Barker Quotes) In any open question, we should argue from what we do know to what we do not know. We do know that fervent legends and stubborn myths arise easily and naturally. We do not know that dead people rise from the grave  (Dan Barker Quotes) It is a fact of history and of current events that human beings exaggerate, misinterpret, or wrongly remember events. They have also fabricated pious fraud. Most believers in a religion understand this when examining the claims of other religions  (Dan Barker Quotes) There is no evidence for a God, no coherent definition of a God, no good argument for a God, good positive arguments against a God, no agreement among believers about the nature or moral principles of a God, and no need for a God. We can live happy, moral, productive lives without such belief, and we can do it better  (Dan Barker Quotes)
