“God, Satan, Paradise, and Hell all vanished one day in my fifteenth year, when I quite abruptly lost my faith. ... and afterwards, to prove my new-found atheism, I bought myself a rather tasteless ham sandwich, and so partook for the first time of the forbidden flesh of the swine. No thunderbolt arrived to strike me down. ... From that day to this I have thought of myself as a wholly secular person.” YearsFirstsPersonsReligionFoundLostHellAtheismOne DayProveFirst TimeStrikesFleshSatanParadiseSecularForbiddenSandwichesHamSwineThunderbolts Author:Salman Rushdie
“I don't find any difference between Islam and Islamic fundamentalists. I believe religion is the root, and from the root fundamentalism grows as a poisonous stem. If we remove fundamentalism and keep religion, then one day or another fundamentalism will grow again.

Islam itself doesn't permit democracy and it violates human rights.” IfsNeedsBelieveHumansProblemReligionI BelieveGrowsDifferencesDemocracyRightsAtheismOne DayCreatingRootsBlameIslamHuman RightsIslamicRemovePermitStemFundamentalismPoisonous Author:Taslima Nasrin

“Yes, the long war on Christianity. I pray that one day we may live in an America where Christians can worship freely! In broad daylight!

“He'll be coming and going" he had said. "One day you'll see him and another you won't. He doesn't like being tied down--and of course he has other countries to attend to. It's quite all right.
