This blog was created due to a comment left on one of the many great posts left on Reddit’s /r/atheism corner. The gist was that, for all of the silliness of most of the quotes, there are some quotes that are rather good. These quotes should be celebrated as the great literature that they are. This, I hope, this will become a small corner of the world wide web that can be used to gather together some of these, along, of course, with the more stupid or plain downright wrong passages found within.

Matthew 21:18-19; 20-22

And on the morrow, when they had come out of Bethany, he [Jesus] hungered. And seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came, if perhaps he might find anything thereon: and when he came to it, he found nothing but leaves; for it was not the season of figs. And he answered and said unto it, ‘No man [will] eat fruit from you from now on — for ever.’ And his disciples heard it . . .And as they passed by in the morning, they saw the fig tree withered away from the roots. And Peter calling to remembrance said unto him, ‘Rabbi, behold, the fig tree that you cursed is withered away’

That’ll learn the fig tree eh!
