Atheist Quotes
Here’s a few quotes I had lying around that I felt kinda applied to atheism or at least my views on spirituality. I have probably skipped over most of the good ones and after looking over these quotes again, it’s kind of a sad list, but there it is. I can’t guarantee they’re accurate and whatnot. I figure I’ll post them anyway since I’m trying to start just writing and posting without thinking and debating so much about what I say and not worrying so much about what people think. Most of what writers write is crap anyway and you never know when you’ll hit a gem… of course I’m posting things other people said here so maybe that doesn’t apply.
