“Atheist’s denial of God’s existence needs just as much substantiation as does the theist’s claim; the atheist must give plausible reasons for rejecting God’s existence.”
“It doesn’t cause me to doubt God’s existence, but it does force me to admit there’s a lot about God I don’t understand.”

“One golfer a year is hit by lightning. This may be the only evidence we have of god’s existence.”
“The only way to show a true respect for God is to act morally while ignoring God’s existence.”
“Atheists don’t hate fairies, leprechauns, or unicorns because they don’t exist. It is impossible to hate something that doesn't exist. Atheists — like the painting experts hated the painter — hate God because He does exist.”
