The Biggest Anti-Atheist Quote List on the Internet

A bit of bragging, I admit, but so far, I have yet to see any list with more quotes than this one. I'm putting together a long list for my Latin Mass Series and this might include more quotes later, but for now, consider this the biggest collection of anti-atheist quotes:

"The fool has said in his heart, 'There is no God."-Psalm 14

"For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them. For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse. For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse..."-Romans 1:19-20

"As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord." -Joshua 24:15

"It is true, that a little philosophy inclineth man's mind to atheism, but depth in
philosophy bringeth men's minds about to religion." -Francis Bacon 

 
"If you can't believe in God, chances are your God is too small."-James Phillips 

"During the crusades all were religious mad, and now all are mad for want of it."
-Captain J. G. Stedman 

"If you don't believe in God, all you have to believe in is decency. Decency is
very good. Better decent than indecent. But I don't think it's enough."
-Harold Macmillan 

"What you don't understand is that it is possible to be an atheist, it is possible
not to know if God exists or why He should, and yet to believe that man does
not live in a state of nature but in history, and that history as we know it now
began with Christ, it was founded by Him on the Gospels."
-Boris Pasternak 

"No one can be an unbeliever nowadays. The Christian Apologists have left one
nothing to disbelieve."
-Hector Hugh Munro 

"An atheist is a man who believes himself an accident."
~ Francis Thompson 

"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?"
-John Updike

"Atheism is rather in the life than in the heart of man."
-Francis Bacon 

"Atheism is the result of ignorance and pride; of strong sense and feeble reasons;
of good eating and ill-living. It is the plague of society, the corrupter of manners,
and the underminer of property."
-Jeremy Collier

"A disbelief in God does not result in a belief in nothing; disbelief in God usually
results in a belief in anything." -Arthur Lynch

"The only atheism is the denial of truth."-Arthur Lynch

"He who never thirsts for God here, will thirst for Him before he has been dead
a minute."- B. North 

"The three great apostles of practical atheism, that make converts without
persecuting, and retain them without preaching, are wealth, health and power."
-C C Colton

"Atheist's don't exist. If you ask anyone why they are an atheist they will proceed
to explain their religion of non belief." -Monksarnn

"An atheist is one who hopes the Lord will do nothing to disturb his disbelief." -Franklin P. Jones 

"To doubt is not sin, but to be contented to remain in doubt when God has
provided "many infallible proofs" to cure it, is." -Irwin H. Linton

"There is no being eloquent for atheism. In that exhausted receiver the mind
cannot use its wings,- the clearest proof that it is out of its element." -Hare

"No man will say, "There is no God" 'till he is so hardened in sin that it has
become his interest that there should be none to call him to account." -Mathew Henry

"No person who denies the being of a God shall hold any office in the civil departments of this State, nor be competent to testify as a witness in any Court." 
-Arkansas State Constitution

"That no religious test ought ever to be required as a qualification for any office of profit or trust in this State, other than a declaration of belief in the existence of God; nor shall the Legislature prescribe any other oath of office than the oath prescribed by this Constitution.” -Maryland State Constitution

"No person who denies the existence of a Supreme Being shall hold any office in this state."- Mississippi State Constitution

"The following persons shall be disqualified for office: First, any person who shall deny the being of Almighty God."- North Carolina State Constitution

"Again, I hear almost everyday from atheists who write off religion as primitive, premodern nonsense. I summon Aquinas, Augustine, Paul [of Tarsus], Teresa of Avila, Joseph Ratzinger, and Edith Stein--in all their intellectual rigor--as allies in the the struggle against this dismissive atheism." -Fr Robert Barron.

“If there were no God, there would be no atheists.”-GK Chesterton

"The worst moment for the atheist is when he is really thankful, and has nobody to thank."- Dante Gabriel Rossetti

"The atheist can appeal to nothing absolute, nothing objectively true for all people, it is just mere opinion enforced by might. The Christian appeals to a standard outside himself/herself in which truth and qualitative values can be made sense of." -Peter Huff

"There are those who hate Christianity and call their hatred an all-embracing love for all religions."- G.K. Chesterton

"A great many of those who 'debunk' traditional...values have in the background values of their own which they believe to be immune from the debunking process."- C.S. Lewis

"I was at this time of living, like so many Atheists or Anti-theists, in a whirl of contradictions. I maintained that God did not exist. I was also very angry with God for not existing. I was equally angry with Him for creating a world." C.S. Lewis

"God exist whether or not men may choose to believe in Him. The reason why many people do not believe in God is not so much that it is intellectually impossible to believe in God, but because belief in God forces that thoughtful person to face the fact that he is accountable to such a God."- Robert A. Laidlaw

"Atheism is a crutch for those who cannot bear the reality of God. "-Tom Stoppard

"Still, even the most admirable of atheists is nothing more than a moral parasite, living his life based on borrowed ethics. This is why, when pressed, the atheist will often attempt to hide his lack of conviction in his own beliefs behind some poorly formulated utilitarianism, or argue that he acts out of altruistic self-interest. But this is only post-facto rationalization, not reason or rational behavior."- Vox Day      

"Atheists are idiots."-The Masked Angel 

Say Hello to the Latin Mass Pt 3

More sad deviations from Church teachings today, this time from the New York Times:
   "Roman Catholics in the United States say that their church and bishops are out of touch, and that the next pope should lead the church in a more modern direction on issues like birth control and ordaining women and married men as priests, according to the latest New York Times/CBS News poll. Seven out of 10 say Pope Benedict XVI and the Vatican have done a poor job of handling sexual abuse, a significant rise from three years ago. A majority said that the issue had led them to question the Vatican’s authority. The sexual abuse of children by priests is the largest problem facing the church, Catholics in the poll said. Three-fourths of those polled said they thought it was a good idea for Benedict to resign. Most wanted the next pope to be “someone younger, with new ideas.” A majority said they wanted the next pope to make the church’s teachings more liberal.... Even Catholics who frequently attend Mass said they were not following the bishops’ lead on issues that the church had recently invested much energy, money and credibility in fighting — artificial birth control and same-sex marriage.... The poll suggested that the papacy no longer occupies the exalted position it once did. Asked whether the pope is infallible when he teaches on matters of morality and faith, 40 percent said yes, 46 percent said no, and 14 percent said they did not know. Nearly 8 in 10 Catholics polled said they would be more likely to follow their conscience on “difficult moral questions” than to follow the pope’s teachings." (for the full article, click here)


"Not following the lead" is an understatement, especially considering how many went against the bishops and voted to re-elect Obama. Is it any wonder then so many remain so ignorant about what the Church not only teaches but what it is, even among professed Catholics?
In my last post, I put up a video about the sad roots of the Norvus Ordo so-called Mass. Here's part two of that same discussion:

Say Hello to the Latin Mass PT 2

Yes, you saw that one part right: Protestant theologians had a role to play in forming the Norvus Ordo Mass. For the whole sad tale, check out the video below:

Say Hello to the Latin Mass Pt 1

The Servant of God Fulton Sheen once wrote that there are not millions of people who hate the Catholic Church; there are however millions who hate what they think is the Catholic Church, which is another matter altogether.
While that does explain why atheists are such idiots, it also begs the question of whether Catholics themselves know their own faith. If recent polls are any indication, the answer is no. Besides the numbers I cited in a previous post concerning Benedict XVI, consider these numbers:
-52% of Catholics in America voted for Obama, a man that is for all the issues the USCCB told the faithful not to support.
- According toThe American Values Survey, conducted by the Public Religion Research Institute, 60% of Catholics would rather hear about social justice rather than pro-life issues, even though social justice doesn't mean anything if you're not alive
-17% of Catholics attend Mass at least once a week.
-Less than 15% believe in transubstantiation (less than 10% even know what that word means).
-While 77.7 million Americans claim to be Catholic, 34% admit they don't practice their faith.
-Even though the Church has taught artificial contraception is morally wrong, only 8% of Catholics agree with that, according to Gallup.
-Also according to Gallup, 40% thought abortion was okay, 71% thought divorce was okay, 61% thought having a child outside of marriage was okay, and 54% thought homosexual relations was okay...again, all actions condemned by the Church.
Side note: Gallup found the numbers didn't change if you separated the Mass attending Catholics from the non-attendants.

I've looked into this long and hard, and I've concluded the only way to turn this tide of filth around is to bring the Latin Mass back to the forefront of Catholic life. I'll get into more detail as to how I reached this conclusion in future posts, but for those 40 and younger (or those who have heard of it, but are not sure what it entails), please take the time to watch this video. I know it's long but it will give you a good idea of the rubrics:

A Christian Blindside

For the longest time on this blog, I said in my bio that I supported the prophecy of St Malachy. In my ignorance, I implied that it was valid Catholic prophecy. What brought about my change of heart? None other than Michael Voris:





I would also like to add that once you look at the prophecies a little closer, you will find a good number of them just don't add up. The pope prophecy supporters would have you believe that  Benedict XVI is the pope referred to when it talks about "glory of the olive", the last one before the supposed final pope Peter the Roman. They state this must be talking about Benedict XVI because the emblem of the Benedictine Order is an olive branch. There are two things wrong with this:
1. Benedict XVI himself was never a member of the Benedictine order.
2. The Benedictine Order doesn't have an emblem. The closest thing they have is the St Benedict medal and there are no olives anywhere on the medal.

At one point in the video, Voris brings up all the so-called Christian groups that have predicted the end of the world is coming but they have all been wrong without exception.

So one may ask "what does this have to do with combating atheism?" The answer is plenty.
What reason would atheists have to become Christians if they hear Christians talking about the world coming to an end and then being wrong about it? Wouldn't they have every right to question whether these Christians have their heads on straight?

Quick disclaimer: I made this exact same complaint against Christians before I accepted Christ as my Savior and His Holy Church as My Mother, so I can say beyond hyperbole atheists read the Bible even less than they say Christians do in this regard. In fact, I'll go even further and say if atheists did read the following verses, they would see how more reasonable the Bible created by the Catholic Church is:
Matt. 24:36 - many sects try to predict the coming of Christ. But Jesus says, "no one but the Father knows the day and the hour." The sects that try to predict Christ's coming ignore these words.
Acts 1:7 - Jesus says it is not for us to know the times or seasons which the Father has fixed by His
own authority.
Rev. 22:20 - Jesus says He is coming soon, but He does not tell us when He is coming. Because Jesus says we do not know the day or the hour and will be surprised at His coming, it is silly, and disobedient, for people and
groups to predict His coming.

So in the end, atheists are idiots and I am ashamed to have ever supported the prophecy. The Masked Angel withdraws his support for it.

The Pope Resigns; The Media Still Gets it Wrong

    Right on, Voris, and it turns out the media has gotten the ramifications of the story wrong, especially CNN, which decided for some reason to interview that know-nothing The Amazing Atheist. What does he know about...anything for that matter?
         I'll spare all of you his inane drivel and move on to World News Tonight. First of all, the anchors couldn't decide whether it's been 598 years or 400 years since a pope resigned. Second of all, it implied the next pope, as the video predicted the media would do, should be more "open" and "progressive" and "welcoming." Now, unlike other news rooms who would just say that and leave it at that, World News went one step further with these:
-Man-on-the-street sound bites that imply either society is leaving the Church behind or the Church needs "get with the times."
-an interview with a little girl who says the Church should give women the chance to be priests.
-an another bit where a young woman says the Church "needs to be more accepting of gay people." (This young lady lives in California; no surprise there).

After a short line from a representative for Leadership Conference of Women Religious (a group that came under fire from the Vatican for deviating from Church teachings), we then get this stats, some of which came from the USCCB no less:
-48% of American Catholics think abortion should be legal
-48% are in favor of so-called "gay marriage"
-59% say yes to having female Catholic priests

 So depending on which issue you look at, between 48% and 59% of American Catholics are heretics.

      Oh, get a load of this: not to be outdone, they then put in an anchor (I think it's Cokie Roberts, but don't hold me to that) who clearly has no understanding of Catholicism because she points out the cardinals are all ones appointed by either Benedict XVI or John Paul II and thus no real change (read: change liberals and pseudo-Catholics approve of) will happen with a new pope.

Maybe because of the vows I've personally taken, maybe it's because of the college I went to (won't say which, but it does get the seal of approval by the Newman Society), maybe it's because of the spirituality I follow, or the books I read, but I say whoever the next pope is, I hope the Holy Spirit will guide him to an even firmer stand than Benedict XVI. In fact, here's some things I'd like to see (though in the end, these won't be my personal call to make):

-a strict enforcement of Canon Law 915 when it comes to so-called Catholic politicians who thumb their noses at Church teaching
-an investigation into all Catholic schools. If this requires an Inquisition, so be it.
-free distribution of the Baltimore Catechism to all newlywed Catholic couples.
-easier access to either the Latin Mass or the new Anglican Rite Mass
-make the teaching concerning contraception an infallible teaching (again, not my call to make; I'm just saying I'd like to see it)
-calling out the USCCB if they make any ruling contrary to the Magisterium

I look forward to our next pope and I am confident the Church won't fail because we have assurance from Jesus Himself it won't fail.

New Blog Mission

I have thought about a new direction for this blog, and I was about to write a whole page of what the new direction will be, but then Michael Voris articulated it for me. More info to come as it develops.
