Belief In God Quotes - Page 6

• There are a large number of people who can and do manage to lead decent upright lives with no use for a belief in God as a guide. Atheists do not care whether others believe as they do. They do ask, however, for the right to believe as they wish.

• En ningún momento he dicho que haya que despojar a la gente de su derecho a la locura de creer en Dios. Si quieren practicar este tipo de irracionalidad, es asunto suyo. No les llevará a ninguna parte; desde luego, no les hará más felices ni les convertirá en seres humanos más compasivos.

  Madalyn Murray O'Hair

• Yet the most pervasive error one encounters in contemporary arguments about belief in God-especially, but not exclusively, on the atheist side-is the habit of conceiving of God simply as some very large object or agency within the universe, or perhaps alongside the universe, a being among other beings, who differs from all other beings in magnitude, power, and duration, but not ontologically, and who is related to the world more or less as a craftsman is related to an artifact.

• Obviously, if theism is a belief in a God and atheism is a lack of a belief in a God, no third position or middle ground is possible. A person can either believe or not believe in a God. Therefore, our previous definition of atheism has made an impossibility out of the common usage of agnosticism to mean "neither affirming nor denying a belief in God."

• As Stephen Jay Gould pointed out in Time, in no other Western country is the teaching of Evolution regarded as controversial. Throughout the world, one way or another, most Christian denominations have managed to reconcile belief in God with belief in the mechanisms of natural selection. A French or German or Scandinavian politician who called for students to entertain as a reasonable deduction from existing evidence the proposition that Earth is at most 10,000 years old would be bundled off to a mental hospital.

• When I think of God, when I think of him as existent, and when I believe him to be existent, my idea of him neither increases nordiminishes. But as it is certain there is a great difference betwixt the simple conception of the existence of an object, and the belief of it, and as this difference lies not in the parts or composition of the idea which we conceive; it follows, that it must lie in the manner in which we conceive it.

• I feel that I'm sworn to uphold the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of Alabama, and those constitutions are founded upon a fundamental belief in God ... my display of the Ten Commandments and prayer before sessions are simply acknowledgments of God.

• Este tipo de comportamiento se deja en manos de los creyentes psicóticos, dogmáticos y fundamentalistas que ves todos los días en tu televisor haciendo estallar bombas y matando gente en nombre de Dios. Las creencias son peligrosas. Las creencias permiten que la mente deje de funcionar. Una mente que no funciona está clínicamente muerta. No creas en nada.

• When a belief vanishes, there survives it -- more and more vigorously so as to cloak the absence of the power, now lost to us, of imparting reality to new things -- a fetishistic attachment to the old things which it did once animate, as if it was in them and not in ourselves that the divine spark resided, and as if our present incredulity had a contingent cause -- the death of the gods.

• A través del momento presente, tienes acceso al poder de la vida misma, eso que tradicionalmente se ha llamado "Dios". En cuanto te alejas de él, Dios deja de ser una realidad en tu vida, y lo único que te queda es el concepto mental de Dios, en el que algunas personas creen y otras niegan. Incluso la creencia en Dios es sólo un pobre sustituto de la realidad viva de Dios que se manifiesta en cada momento de tu vida.

• Le diré francamente que mi experiencia en prolongadas investigaciones científicas me convence de que la creencia en Dios -un Dios que está detrás y dentro del caos de los puntos de fuga del conocimiento humano- añade un maravilloso estímulo al hombre que intenta penetrar en las regiones de lo desconocido.

• Por supuesto, la ventaja es que, estando en este negocio, se aprende mucho, se experimentan muchas cosas nuevas y se puede llegar a tener mucho éxito. La desventaja es, por supuesto, los medios negativos. La gente puede intentar manipularte y controlarte, y esas son las cosas que tienes que evitar. Pero si mantienes unos valores familiares fuertes y crees en Dios, puedes tener éxito. Así que ha sido duro, pero lo he superado porque me he mantenido fiel a mi familia y a mi profunda creencia en Dios.

• The idea that everything would happen exactly as it does regardless of whether we pray or not is a specter that haunts the minds of many who sincerely profess belief in God. It makes prayer psychologically impossible, replacing it with dead ritual at best.
