I'd have to say I agree with Gus, as I was reviewing this thread as suggested by another member. Some of the quotes you posted basically denigrate atheists and their beliefs. Why is it okay to lift up your religion and beliefs by putting down the beliefs of others, just because they happen to not believe in a "god"?

Just a thing to think about before you post one of these quotes. Is it really a gem to be posted or is it something that uplifts one belief by putting down another?

I can't speak for Gus, but I think it's possibly the posts that were putting down atheists that turned her off, not necessarily because they said the word "god."

I think it's just a good reminder to really consider what the quote your posting is actually saying.

I have enjoyed many of the quotes shared here. Thank you to all.
