The annoying thing about being an atheist is that you'll never have the satisfaction of saying to believers, 'I told you so.'

In a way, the greatest praise of God is his denial by the atheist who thinks creation is so perfect it does not need a creator.

That is the whole trouble with being a heretic. One usually must think out everything for oneself.

Why isn't there a book about someone losing their faith and it being a beautiful experience?

To you I'm an atheist. To God I'm the loyal opposition.

Perhaps God chose me to be an atheist?

Among the repulsions of atheism for me has been its drastic uninterestingness as an intellectual position. Where was the ingenuity, the ambiguity, the humanity (in the Harvard sense) of saying that the universe just happened to happen and that when we're dead we're dead?

I once wanted to become an atheist, but I gave up - they have no holidays.

By night an Atheist half believes a God.
