Talking Religious Quotes

If it turns out that there is a God, I don't think that he's evil. But the worst that you can say about him is that basically he's an underachiever.
Woody Allen

If only God would give me some clear sign! Like making a large deposit in my name in a Swiss bank.
Woody Allen

To you I'm an atheist; to God, I'm the Loyal Opposition.
Woody Allen

Woody Allen is my favorite atheist!
Anyone have more fun, religious quotes?

Archeologists near mount Sinai have discovered what is believed to
be a missing page from the Bible and is believed to read 'To my
darling Candy. All characters portrayed within this book are fictitous
and any resemblance to persons living or dead is purely coincidental'.

Jesus is real! I saw him at a party last week, he was playing quarters with Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny

then we go to church on Sunday and pray for a crop failure."

God is not dead but alive and well and working on a much less ambitious project.

A myth is a religion in which no one any longer believes.
James Feibleman

A cult is a religion with no political power.
Tom Wolfe (1931 - )

With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.
Steven Weinberg (1933 - ), quoted in The New York Times, April 20, 1999

This is my simple religion. There is no need for temples; no need for complicated philosophy. Our own brain, our own heart is our temple; the philosophy is kindness.
Dalai Lama

Religion is the masterpiece of the art of animal training, for it trains people as to how they shall think.
Arthur Shopenhauer

History does not record anywhere at any time a religion that has any rational basis. Religion is a crutch for people not strong enough to stand up to the unknown without help. But, like dandruff, most people do have a religion and spend time and money on it and seem to derive considerable pleasure from fiddling with it.
Robert Heinlein (1907 - 1988), Time Enough for Love (1972)

In Christianity neither morality nor religion come into contact with reality at any point.
Friedrich Nietzsche (1844 - 1900)

Scriptures, n. The sacred books of our holy religion, as distinguished from the false and profane writings on which all other faiths are based.
Ambrose Bierce (1842 - 1914), The Devil's Dictionary

Truth, in matters of religion, is simply the opinion that has survived.
Oscar Wilde (1854 - 1900)

Since the whole affair had become one of religion, the vanquished were of course exterminated.
Voltaire (1694 - 1778)

We must respect the other fellow's religion, but only in the sense and to the extent that we respect his theory that his wife is beautiful and his children smart.
H.L. Mencken

To know a person's religion we need not listen to his profession of faith but must find his brand of intolerance.
Eric Hoffer (1902 - 1983)

The government of the United States is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion.
George Washington (1732 - 1799)

One man's religion is another man's belly laugh.
Isacc Azimov

I find the whole business of religion profoundly interesting. But it does mystify me that otherwise intelligent people take it seriously.
Douglas Adams (1952 - 2001), Salmon of Doubt, 2002

If there is no God, who pops up the next Kleenex?
Art Hoppe

That's a cool quote. Do you know which one? Tibet is apparently on #14 right now.
