    Something I read here, actually.

    I'm a Voltaire fan:

    If God did not exist, it would be necessary to invent him.

    God is a comedian playing to an audience too afraid to laugh.

    I have never made but one prayer to God, a very short one: 'O Lord, make my enemies ridiculous.' And God granted it.

    Superintendant Chalmers on the Simpsons:

    A prayer....a prayer in a public school?! God has no place within these walls, just like facts have no place within organized religion.

    "Guilt is like a bag of fucking bricks. All you gotta is set it down... Who are you carrying all those bricks for anyway? God? Is that it? God? Well I tell you. Let me give you a little inside information about God. God likes to watch. He's a prankster. Think about it. He gives man instincts. He gives you this extraordinary gift and then what does he do? I swear, for his own amusement, his own private cosmic gag reel he sets the rules in opposition. It's the goof of all time. Look but don't touch. Touch but don't taste. Taste but don't swallow. And while you're jumping on one foot to the next, what is he doing? He's laughing his sick fucking ass off. He's a tightass. He's a sadist. He's an absentee-landlord! Worship that? Never! "

    Milton (the devil) in the movie The Devils Advocate

    Heat:

    classic Pacino rant...but I thought his "the inches are out there" from Any Given Sunday was a better monolouge. That, and his "Who put this thing together? Me!" from Scarface are my Words from Al to Live By

    I don?t believe in atheists.
    -Neal Boortz

    I have been astonished that men could die martyrs for religion - I have shudder'd at it - I shudder no more - I could be
    martyr'd for my religion - love is my religion - I could die for that - I could die for you. My creed is love and you are its only tenet

    -John Keats
