"The new school of art and thought does indeed wear an air of audacity, and breaks out everywhere into blasphemies, as if it required any courage to say a blasphemy. There is only one thing that requires real courage to say, and that is a truism."
G K Chesterton; "G.F. Watts".
A former 40 year Atheist analyzes Atheism, without resorting to theism, deism, or fantasy.
***
If You Don't Value Truth, Then What DO You Value?
***
If we say that the sane can be coaxed and persuaded to rationality, and we say that rationality presupposes logic, then what can we say of those who actively reject logic?
***
Atheists have an obligation to give reasons in the form of logic and evidence for rejecting Theist theories.

"Fallacies do not cease to be fallacies because they become fashions."
-GK Chesterton
Gotta Love ol' GK. Turns out there is a GK Chesterton Society conference in St Louis this weekend. Wish I could go. I'm not an expert on GKC but I'm sure it would be a hoot.
I actually attended last year in Maryland. Excellent talks. The piece on Edmund Burke was top notch.
In addition to the Chesterton society, I highly recommend the material at Distributist Review.com
