Wow. That guy is really fucking stupid. He's terrified of atheism because his own faith is so weak. It's obvious.

There's always a perfect antidote to anti-Dawkins crap:

The man is a legend!
~*~Your beliefs don't make you a better person, your behavior does ~*~

~*~Live a good life. If there are Gods and they are just, then they will not care how devout you have been, but will welcome you based on the virtues you have lived by. If there are Gods, but unjust, then you should not want to worship them. If there are no Gods, then you will be gone, but will have lived a noble life that will live on in the memories of your loved ones - Marcus Aurelius~*~

There was a few months of my life where I couldn't even fall asleep without his pretentious British accent playing in the background.

How does one 'officially leave' atheism in the first place? Do you have to send out a memo?
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell

I would think you'd have to find a god to worship.
Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.

Rather than spending their time trying to provide evidence of their god (which is what they'd be doing if they actually gave a shit/had two functional brain cells), they waste time attempting to erode the credibility of some mythical atheist priesthood.

Rythm hits the nail right on the head!!!

Ultra Kudos!!!!

I was an atheist LOOOOONNNNNGGGG before I ever heard of Dawkins, or Fell, or even that Einstein was a skeptic.

I came to atheism based on how bullshit the concept of god is...not because of some charismatic leader

Exactly. Some religious people assume that atheists tend to think in terms of "accepted authorities", because the whole concept of "revealed religions" is basically an appeal to a (cosmic) authority. It's a form of psychological projection.

To be sure, a lot of atheists do rely on borrowed or cliched arguments (albeit typically valid ones), many of which they might have got from atheist books like The God Delusion, but that's not the same thing as an appeal to authority.

You don't even have to have an argument to support a lack of belief, it stands all by it's onesies.

On another note, I've heard the name "Shockofgod" mentioned in a few vidieos. Who is he? Is he a troll or is he a real person? Is Youtube his only habitat?
I have studied the Bible and the theology behind Christianity for many years. I have been to many churches. I have walked the depth and the breadth of the religion and, as a result of this, I have a lot of bullshit to scrape off the bottom of my shoes. ~Ziploc Surprise
