Lawrence M. Krauss Quotes

Most atheists bristle at the thought that atheism has anything to do with faith, but not Penn Jillette.

I gave up religious thinking a long time ago and am really just an agnostic now.

I am of course a skeptic about the divinity of Christ and a scorner of the notion that there is a God who cares how we are or what we do.

You know what the Englishman's idea of compromise is? He says, Some people say there is a God. Some people say there is no God. The truth probably lies somewhere between these two statements.

I'm an atheist.

You happen to be talking to an agnostic. You know what an agnostic is? A cowardly atheist.

Rather than say he's an atheist, a friend of mine says, 'I'm a tooth fairy agnostic,' meaning he can't disprove God but thinks God is about as likely as the tooth fairy.

The existence of a single atheist does not disprove the existence of God.

Nobody really knows if there's a God - not Oprah, not Joel Osteen, not the Pope. Nobody has touched or felt or conversed with God. They say they have, but let's get real. I think that is what keeps me from coming out as an atheist. I think to myself, even the atheists don't know that there isn't a God. Nobody knows anything.

An atheist, like a Christian, holds that we can know whether or not there is a God. The Christian holds that we can know there is a God; the atheist, that we can know there is not. The Agnostic suspends judgment, saying that there are not sufficient grounds either for affirmation or for denial. At the same time, an Agnostic may hold that the existence of God, though not impossible, is very improbable; he may even hold it so improbable that it is not worth considering in practice. In that case, he is not far removed from atheism.

I do not believe in God. It seems to me that theists of all kinds have very largely failed to make their concept of a deity intelligible; and to the extent that they have made it intelligible, they have given us no reason to think that anything answers to it.

I don't believe in God.

Atheism is the last word of theism.

I would rather live my life as if there is a God and die to find out there isn't, than live as if there isn't and to die to find out that there is.

That God does not exist, I cannot deny, That my whole being cries out for God I cannot forget.

We are all atheists about most of the gods that societies have ever believed in. Some of us just go one god further.

I'm an atheist.

I don't know if God exists, but it would be better for His reputation if He didn't.
