Top 80 Best Short Atheist Quotes

Top 80 Best Short Atheist Quotes A collection of great quotes from people such as Thomas Jefferson, Voltaire, Richard Dawkins, and Gandhi. Some other famous quotes (on the same subject): Since it is obviously inconceivable that all religions can be right, the most reasonable conclusion is that they are all wrong. (Christopher Hitchens) I am as firmly convinced that religions do harm as I am that they are untrue. (Bertrand Russell) You are a good person because you fear damnation. I am a good person without obligation. (Guillermo Garcia) Morality is doing right, no matter what you are told. Religion is doing what you are told, no matter what is right. (Mencken) It is wrong always and everywhere for anyone to believe anything on insufficient evidence. (William Clifford) I used to believe in God, until I reached the age of reason. (George Carlin) If only God would give me some clear sign! Like making a large deposit in my name at a Swiss Bank. (Woody Allen) Our god is vengeful! Oh spiteful one, show me who to smite and they shall be smoten. (Homer Simpson) Dear lord: I present you this offering of cookies and milk. If you want me to eat them for you, give me no sign. Thy will be done. (Homer Simpson) Blasphemy is a victimless crime. (Unknown) God is dead! (Friedrich Nietzsche) User: White_Wolf May 29, 2008 7:23 AM

First Recorded Sound

First Recorded Sound Thomas Edison wasn't the first person to record sound. A Frenchman named Edouard-Leon Scott de Martinville actually did it earlier. He invented a device called the phonautograph, and, on April 9, 1860, recorded someone singing the words, "Au clair de la lune, Pierrot repondit." But he never had any intention of playing it back. He just wanted to study the pattern the sound waves made on a sheet of paper blackened by the smoke of an oil lamp. A group of researchers found some of his old phonautograph papers and used a computer program to play the recording. "Au clair de la lune, Mon ami, Pierrot..." Apr 12, 2008 10:51 AM
