There's a whole treasure trove in "The God Delusion" by Richard Dawkins.

Tip of the day: When you are staying in a hotel room, take the Gideon bible to the front desk and tell them you don't want it in your room.

I found this on the Freethinkers of Virginia site:

I AM NOT GOD

I am not God, but I know something that he doesn't

God does not know how it feels to finally succeed after a series of failures.

God has not had to battle depression, or has to fight for his self-esteem.

God has never lived though a divorce, or lost his job, or felt foolish.

God does not know how good it feels to be imperfectly human.

Does God have nothing to learn?

God cannot be dead.

God has not tasted life.

If God existed I might have compassion for him

Perhaps sympathy for his plight

I like that last one. I like it very much.
Like might not be the right word, actually, but we'll go with that.

My Favorite Person to Quote.

A celibate clergy is an especially good idea, because it tends to suppress any hereditary propensity toward fanaticism.
-Carl Sagan

I maintain there is much more wonder in science than in pseudoscience. And in addition, to whatever measure this term has any meaning, science has the additional virtue, and it is not an inconsiderable one, of being true.
- Carl Sagan

Where we have strong emotions, we're liable to fool ourselves.
-Carl Sagan

A central lesson of science is that to understand complex issues (or even simple ones), we must try to free our minds of dogma and to guarantee the freedom to publish, to contradict, and to experiment. Arguments from authority are unacceptable.
-Carl Sagan

For me, it is far better to grasp the Universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring.
-Carl Sagan

Think of how many religions attempt to validate themselves with prophecy. Think of how many people rely on these prophecies, however vague, however unfulfilled, to support or prop up their beliefs. Yet has there ever been a religion with the prophetic accuracy and reliability of science?
-Carl Sagan
