Comment on An Atheist Reads the Bible by Alysha DeShaé

It's just a picture with a quote. If Epicurus said it, great. If not, great. Someone, somewhere said it and it makes sense. I don't really think it matters whether the person who said it believed in other gods besides the Christian god or not, because in regards to that specific god it is entirely accurate. Also, as you can see here, there are a large number of published people attributing this to Epicurus. Besides, if you want to get technical, it's not possible to have read everything written by him as much of his work has been lost to time. 2000 plus years will do that...

First, that quote is not from Epicurus. He never wrote those words. I am a philosophy student, and I’ve read everything the man ever wrote, and those words are nowhere to be found in his writings. Second, he was not an atheist. Epicurus believed in the “gods,” but believed that they were tranquil beings that were not concerned with the lives of humans. He believed that the existence of the god was self-evident. If you really want to know what he meant by that, and find out what his thoughts were on the nature of the gods, perhaps you should read some of his work, rather than believe everything you read on the Internet.
