Faith

More quotes by Matt Dillahunty

A god that does not manifest in reality is indistinguishable from a god that does not exist.

A god that rewards credulity, a god that sanctions slavery, is unworthy of any kind of reverence or respect or devotion.

You are better than your god. You are better than your religion.

Despite people's claims to the contrary, I think that a proper application of skepticism when viewing religious claims does necessarily lead to atheism.

Faith is the excuse people give for believing something when they don't have evidence.
