ATHEISM
If a spot could be found wherein there would be no God, what a fine building
speculation might be made there. Millions would emigrate to “No God’s land,” and
would feel at ease, as soon as they trod its Godless shores. BA174
The atheist is, morally, as well as mentally, a fool, a fool in the heart as well as in the
head; a fool in morals as well as in philosophy. With the denial of God as a starting
point, we may well conclude that the fool’s progress is a rapid, riotous, raving,
ruinous one. He who begins at impiety is ready for anything. “No God,” being
interpreted, means no law, no order, no restraint to lust, no limit to passion. TD53:1
Those who talk so abominably as to deny their Maker will act abominably when it
serves their turn. TD53:1
An atheist is a misanthrope. Irreligion is akin to inhumanity. TD86:14
Atheism is the mother of anarchy; the reigning power of God exhibited in true
religion is the only security for the human commonwealth. A belief in God is the
foundation and cornerstone of a well-ordered state. TD93:1
There are no infidels anywhere but on earth: there are none in heaven, and there are
none in hell. Atheism is a strange thing. Even the devils never fell into that vice, for
“the devils believe and tremble.” And there are some of the devil’s children that have
gone beyond their father in sin, but how will it look when they are for ever lost? 667.731
You never saw a child startled when it was told for the first time that God made it,
for within that little mind there dwells an instinct which accepts the statement. 1197.568
I have heard of an atheist who said he could get over every argument except the
example of his godly mother: he could never answer that. 1725.331
Pantheism is atheism in a mask. 2085.266
Man is by nature both an atheist and an idolater. These are two shades of the same
thing. We want, if we do worship at all, something that we can see. But a god that
can be seen is no god; and so the idolater is first cousin to the atheist. 2239.27
Behind the doubt of the existence of God, many men shield themselves, and permit
themselves to indulge in iniquities of which they might be ashamed if they did not
make a cloak of their atheism. 2430.433
I believe that the most unreasonable things in all the world are doubt and unbelief;
in fact, atheists and infidels are the most gullible persons living. 2463.211
