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.
Dawkins' God Delusion explains everything but it fails to explain the meaning of "epistemic" which Dawkins concedes to not knowing.Yet this guy has philosophical objections and philosophical opinions he wants others to believe.
You should read Dave Berlinski's The Devil's Delusion. He's an agnostic, but he points out that atheism via atheistic wars has managed to kill off more people in just one century than all other belief systems COMBINED, THROUGHOUT ALL HISTORY. He lists them on pages 22-24 of my book. Over 190 MILLION--that's a near quarter BILLION--and still counting in many cases.
He also points out that this figure doesn't include the maimings, rapes, imprisonments, etc. done by these regimes. Berlinski gives a really great scientific overview of atheistic 'arguments' and the fallacies they're built on. As a former agnostic, it became pretty obvious to me that the only real argument atheists HAVE is the "I'm smarter than YOU are" schoolyard diatribe spewed all over the net.

@leecmb
Thanks for that.I had no idea there was a book titled The Devil's Delusion nor had I heard of Dr.Berlinski.
