Gott ist tot
Nietzsche Nietzsche Nietzsche... The moment I set eyes on your books I laughed at the straight method in which you used to present your ideas, of course it was all had a serious undertone. Although not all could understand what you are putting across...
"God is dead. God remains dead. And we have killed him. How shall we, murderers of all murderers, console ourselves? That which was the holiest and mightiest of all that the world has yet possessed has bled to death under our knives. Who will wipe this blood off us? With what water could we purify ourselves? What festivals of atonement, what sacred games shall we need to invent? Is not the greatness of this deed too great for us? Must we not ourselves become gods simply to be worthy of it?"
— Nietzsche, The Gay Science, Section 125, tr. Walter Kaufmann
"In reality there has only been one Christian, and he died on the cross."
About organized Christianity - "I call it the one immortal blemish upon the human race."
"The weak and the botched shall perish: first principle of our charity. And one should help them to it."
"What is more harmful than any vice—Practical sympathy for the botched and the weak—Christianity...."

Sarcastic, and head on. What a way to express ideas! Although I cannot all out critisise religions with this blog, as it affects "religious harmony" (almost an oxymoron now).
Question everything.
