From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- “If you do not believe in a personal God the question: "What is the purpose of life?" is unaskable and unanswerable.” - J.R.R. Tolkien
- "An Atheist believes that a hospital should be built instead of a church. An Atheist believes that a deed must be done instead of a prayer said. An Atheist strives for involvement in life and not escape into death. He wants disease conquered, poverty vanished, war eliminated." - Madalyn Murray O'Hair
- “Why am I an atheist? The short answer is that I cannot accept any of the alternatives. I simply don't find them believable. As for the accusation of intellectual pride, surely the boot is on the other foot. Atheists don't claim to know anything with certainty—it's the believers who know it all.” - Barbara Smoker
