What Are the Famous Atheists Saying?

It's no surprise to us that a lot of famous/Hollywood folks are atheists.  I ran across this article and started to read what their reasons were for refusing to believe there is A God;

Brad Pitt has said on more than one occasion that he doesn’t believe in God. In an interview with BILD in 2009, he said that he was both agnostic and an atheist. “I’m probably 20 per cent atheist and 80 per cent agnostic. I don’t think anyone really knows. You’ll either find out or not when you get there, until then there’s no point thinking about it,” he said.

In an interview with Esquire magazine back in 2009, Daniel Radcliffe declared that he is an atheist. “I’m an atheist, but I’m very relaxed about it. I don’t preach my atheism, but I have a huge amount of respect for people like Richard Dawkins who do. Anything he does on television, I will watch,”

Morgan Freeman doesn’t believe that there is any evidence to support that the theory that there is an omnipotent being who created us and is currently watching over the earth. “Well, here’s a scientific question: Has anybody ever seen hard evidence? What we get is theories from our earlier prophets. Now, people who think that God invented us think that the Earth can’t be more than 6,000 years old. So I guess it’s a question of belief. My belief system doesn’t support a creator as such, as we can call God, who created us in His/Her/Its image,” he told TheWrap.

Jon Hamm just got a whole lot hotter! He told The Irish Independent newspaper that his parents’ deaths put him off religion. “That was pretty much it for me. I don’t get the mystery of faith. I’m too much of a math guy. The numbers didn’t add up so I was like, ‘OK, moving on.’ I don’t need an afterlife; I don’t need a second act,” he said.

Amber Heard was raised Catholic but, when her friend died in a car accident when she was just 16-years-old, she became an atheist. “That was the hardest blow emotionally that I have ever had to endure,” she told USA Today. “Suddenly, you realize tomorrow might not come. Now I live by the motto, ‘Today is what I have.’” She began reading Ayn Rand’s books, which convinced her that she only needed herself in this world.

As you read these quotes and realize that their words will most likely be replayed for them at the Great White Throne Judgment...it's hard not to feel a little terrified for them.  It's also hard not to think about Romans 1:

18 The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of people, who suppress the truth by their wickedness, 19 since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. 20 For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.

21 For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools 23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like a mortal human being and birds and animals and reptiles.

24 Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. 25 They exchanged the truth about God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen.

26 Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. 27 In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.

28 Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done. 29 They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, 30 slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; 31 they have no understanding, no fidelity, no love, no mercy. 32 Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them.
