“Theism is so confused and the sentences in which "God" appears so incoherent and so incapable of verifiability or falsifiability that to speak of belief or unbelief, faith or unfaith, is logically impossible.” BeliefSpeakImpossibleAtheismPositive AtheismSentencesConfusedIncapableUnbeliefTheismSo Confused Author:A.J.

“Atheists are often charged with blasphemy, but it is a crime they cannot commit... When the Atheist examines, denounces, or satirises the gods, he is not dealing with persons but with ideas. He is incapable of insulting God, for he does not admit the existence of any such being... We attack not a person but a belief, not a binge but an idea, not a fact but a fancy.” PersonsDoeIdeasFactsBeliefExistenceAtheismCrimeAtheistPositive AtheismCommitFancyIncapableInsultingBlasphemyBinge Author:George William Foote
“There are those who feel an imperative need to believe, for whom the values of a belief are proportionate not to its truth, but to its definiteness. Incapable of either admitting the existence of contrary judgments or of suspending their own, they supply the place of knowledge by turning other men's conjectures into dogmas.” MenNeedsFeelsBelieveValuesBeliefExistenceAtheismJudgmentPositive AtheismContraryDogmaIncapableImperativesAdmittingConjecture Author:C.

“To me it seems to be important to believe people to be good even if they tend to be bad, because your own joy and happiness in life is increased that way, and the pleasures of the belief outweigh the occasional disappointments. To be a cynic about people works just the other way around and makes you incapable about enjoying the good things.” PeopleIfsWayBelieveImportantSeemsLife IsJoyBeliefEnjoyPleasureGood ThingsDisappointmentBe GoodIncapableOccasionalLife HappinessJoy And HappinessCynic Book:It's Been a Good Life Source: It's Been a Good Life
“It is not for man to seek, or even to believe in, God. He only has to refuse his ultimate love to everything that is not God. This refusal does not presuppose any belief. It is enough to recognize what is obvious to any mind: that all the goods of this world, past, present, and future, real or imaginary, are finite and limited and radically incapable of satisfying the desire that perpetually burns within us for an infinite and perfect good.” MenWorldMindBelieveDoeRealEnoughPastDesireBeliefPerfectThis WorldUltimateInfiniteObviousRefuseGoodsBelieve In GodSatisfyingImaginaryIncapableFiniteRefusalPast PresentPast Present And FutureUltimate Love Author:Simone Weil
