Serious Problems with Atheism

I bet he has his hair cut, trims his beard and eats cheeseburgers as well.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
Now who could possibly think that THIS was "silly," Khem?

The Rube Goldberg salvation scheme stands out as one of mans lowest theological moments, and that's a field with tough competition.

Ah yes, I get it now! The whole point of the Universe and of existence itself is a giant game of Mousetrap!

Which of the Ten Commandments worked its way into the laws of the United States? Thou shalt not kill? In 1918 the so-called anti-lynching bill (H: R. 11279) was introduced to Congress and struck down by the same. Similar laws have been periodically introduced, but to this day there is no federal law against murder.
The first several commandments are just about how to worship your imaginary god. Nothing resembling profound revelation proceeds that. Long before the Ten Commandments humans followed the Instructions of Ptah, the Precepts of Ma’at, the Emerald Tablets of Thoth, Iwa Pele. The writers of the Ten Commandments had a wealth of human moral instruction to draw on.
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.

You should ask yourself why people are responding to your quotes with meme's. Is it because a single quote from a specific scientist is incredibly damning evidence and they just can't handle it? Probably not. If you are receiving memes it's probably because people think your line of thinking is absurd. To respond specifically to you quoting scientists(also New Scientist and Proof of Heaven are not scientific publications.) Being a scientist myself...I would never just randomly quote another scientist to make a point. I may appeal to authority in fields I am not an expert on, but I would never randomly quote individual scientists to prove a point. Looking at how individuals think and using it to open up different perspectives about a problem is awesome! Quoting something that Einstein said to prove a point about Relativity is not.
