(these are notable to ME,there may be better one out there but this is what i got)
"It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to open one's mouth and remove all doubt"
~Abraham Lincoln
"Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day; teach a man to fish and he will eat for a lifetime; give a man religion and he will die praying for a fish."
~theamazingatheist
"a lot of people would have said that i would have wiped my ass with the bible.i would never bother.because you cant use a piece of shit to wipe shit off of your ass that's just common sense"
~theamazingatheist
“I contend that we are both atheists. I just believe in one fewer god than you do. When you understand why you dismiss all the other possible gods, you will understand why I dismiss yours.” Stephen Roberts

"that's something they pull out of their ass and say:"oooh look its the truth" NO ITS A TURD MOTHERFUCKER.its not the truth.its a big'ol fuckin' stinknugget.you pulled it out of your ass...well...you pulled it out of a book that some ancient motherfucker pulled out of his ass."
~theamazingatheist
"a lot of you guys out there in the inter-webs have been leaving comments about my hair.i didn't know i had such a fashion sawy audience.what in all my videos would lead you to believe that i have good taste?how i maintain my appearance a fraction of a step better than the average street-bum.why do you pay so much attention to whats ON peoples head rather than whats IN them?"
~theamazingatheist
" "you cant prove god don't exist" yes we already did.see that?*shows book*GOD:the failed hypothesis how science shows that god does not exist by victor j stenger.its a dry-ass read,i don't recommend it.but it makes a clear case.GOD DON'T FUCKIN' EXIST.not the judeo-christian one anyway or any god that's in any of your mythologies.if it is a god out there it is FAAAAAAAAR greater than anything you or i or anyone could even imagine"

"The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far. The sciences, each straining in its own direction, have hitherto harmed us little; but some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the light into the peace and safety of a new dark age."
H. P. Lovecraft

Tell me I'm not the only one that finds the Amazing Atheist annoying as hell... I'm really curious why the OP has created 2 threads just to quote that fool. Seems rather divisive

I'm really curious why the OP has created 2 threads just to quote that fool. Seems rather divisive  I completely agreed. I've never thought he was anything more than angry and childish, and certainly not quotable. If you want a quotable provocative person George Carlin all the way! Atheism is a non-prophet organization. George Carlin Fighting for peace is like screwing for virginity. George Carlin I have as much authority as the Pope, I just don't have as many people who believe it. George Carlin I think people should be allowed to do anything they want. We haven't tried that for a while. Maybe this time it'll work. George Carlin I was thinking about how people seem to read the Bible a whole lot more as they get older; then it dawned on me - they're cramming for their final exam. George Carlin I would never want to be a member of a group whose symbol was a guy nailed to two pieces of wood. George Carlin

clarifications:
Carlin was an awesome and genius individual.but i never got the chance too see anything he did.
and i can agree with you that TJ can be a childish asshole with a topping of douchebaggery.but that's what I liked about him when i first found him.you may not agree.that's ok with me.your entitled to your opinion.
i definitely agree that the quotes from Carlin is much better but since i never saw anything he did i had no reference.

i made both but i did not intend too.i accidentally hit the "post new topic" instead of "add new reply" and a moderator was quick on closing that topic.so no harm done right?

"It is impossible for someone to dispel his fears about the most important matters if he doesn't know the nature of the universe but still gives some credence to myths. So without the study of nature there is no enjoyment of pure pleasure."

That is an incredibly stupid thing to say. If you remain silent you will never know that you are wrong in most cases and that goes contrary to just about every thing rational people tend to hold true.

It's just a meant to be a clever putdown not Life advice. Like Winston Churchill's many awesome one liners... Some Lady: You're drunk! Winston Churchill: Yes, I am drunk. But by tommorow morning, I will be sober, and you will still be ugly. Some lady: If I were your wife, I'd poison your tea! Winston Churchill: If I were your husband, I would drink it! Sorry, these two are probably not exact.

Sorry, these two are probably not exact. another great one from Churchill: There are two things that are more difficult than making an after-dinner speech: climbing a wall which is leaning toward you and kissing a girl who is leaning away from you.

"The cosmos is also within us, we're made of star stuff. We are a way for the cosmos to know itself." Right, I remembered Neil Tyson quoting Sagan, thanks. Born again?! No, I'm not. Excuse me for getting it right the first time. Dennis Miller Creationists make it sound as though a 'theory' is something you dreamt up after being drunk all night. Isaac Asimov I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with sense, reason, and intellect has intended us to forgo their use. Galileo Galilei If a man would follow, today, the teachings of the Old Testament, he would be a criminal. If he would follow strictly the teachings of the New, he would be insane.
