Baron d'Holbach on God

Nothing can be more contrary to religion and the clergy than reason and common sense.

All children are born Atheists; they have no idea of God.

Pascal proves nothing in favour of Religion, unless that a man of genius may be foolish on some subjects, and is but a child, when he is weak enough to listen to his prejudices.

I believe that our Heavenly Father invented man because he was disappointed in the monkey.

Mark Twain1835–1910

We must question the story logic of having an all-knowing all-powerful God, who creates faulty Humans, and then blames them for his own mistakes.

Gene Roddenberry1921–1991

Gods are fragile things; they may be killed by a whiff of science or a dose of common sense.
