[On why there aren't many atheist quote lists]Maybe atheists have never said anything worth quoting.. I am not being sarcastic. It is a fact that atheism is nothing more than refuting what other people believe. There is not a whole lot for them to say. There is just.... nothing... And you can insist that communism, evolution, and atheism are three indepentant ideas swimming around with no relaionship to each other, but that is pretty silly.

I beg to differ. I'm not on about refuting other peoples beliefs, as long as they keep them under their hats , or at least don't try to shove them down my throat.
And, the last sentence is correct, when you remove that "but that is pretty silly" at the end.
And you can insist that communism, evolution, and atheism are three indepentant ideas swimming around with no relaionship to each other, but that is pretty silly.
Notice the rubbishing of simple facts, here.
"It ain't the parts of the bible that I don't understand that bother me, it's the parts I do understand"
"Religion was invented when the first con man met the first fool"
. . . . Mark Twain
But... they are independent ideas! What has communism to do with evolution? The communists believed that lying piece of shit Lysenko and forbade genetics and natural selection related research. Atheism was backed by the Sowjets because of certain Marxist ideas, but neither is communism part of atheist philosophy, nor have Communists invented atheism. And what evolution has to do with atheism is even more perplexing, Darwin was a christian as far as I know.
Oh and christianity is just the refusal of any other idea and religion. See how that works both ways? Idiot.
"If devotion to truth is the hallmark of morality, then there is no greater, nobler, more heroic form of devotion than the act of a man who assumes the responsibility of thinking.... the alleged short-cut to knowledge, which is faith, is only a short-circuit destroying the mind."
- Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged
"Religion has actually convinced people that there's an invisible man -- living in the sky -- who watches everything you do, every minute of every day. And the invisible man has a special list of ten things he does not want you to do.. And if you do any of these ten things, he has a special place, full of fire and smoke and burning and torture and anguish, where he will send you to live and suffer and burn and choke and scream and cry forever and ever 'til the end of time! ..But He loves you... and he NEEDS MONEY!"
- George Carlin (aka the best comedian of all time. Seriously, look up his "modern man" routine on YouTube...sheer genius.)
As atheism is just a lack of belief in gods, atheists say things regardless of religion, rather than in spite of religion.
Christianity is nothing more than refuting what non-Christians believe.
Communism - economic model / political ideas
Evolution - natural process in biology
Atheism - lack of belief in gods
Yup, I'd say that they are pretty "independant", dearie. Sure, they have some relationships with each other, but so do most things in life. Conservatism, fascism and fundeism are pretty closely related.
You're pretty silly, yes.

It's too bad for didaskalos that Satanism, talking animals, slavery. dictatorships, incest and genocide are all undeniably related to Christianity.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
