Monday Morning Quotes: Madalyn Murray O'Hair


“No god ever gave any man anything, nor ever answered any prayer at any time - nor ever will.”

“An Atheist believes that a hospital should be built instead of a church. An atheist believes that deed must be done instead of prayer said. An atheist strives for involvement in life and not escape into death. He wants disease conquered, poverty vanished, war eliminated.”

"Two hands working can do more than a thousand clasped in prayer."

“In an unconstitutional partnership with the state, the church can impose the most irresistible, if covert, controls conceivable.”

“Religion has caused more misery to all of mankind in every stage of human history than any other single idea.”

“Religion is induced insanity.”

"This religion gives you goals which are outside of reality. It enriches your fantasy life with ugliness. It fills you with ideas of guilt over the most common human experiences -- usually related to sex. In this room, right now, each of you, in your own lives, has agonized over the fact that you have masturbated. Masturbation isn't sinful. If it feels good -- do it. You have my blessing, and you yourself know how it relaxes you."
