But when the laughter dies down, you're left with a troubling realization: There actually is a huge pool of people on this planet who call themselves atheists and post on the internet, but are less familiar with theism than toddlers with the inside of a quantum mechanics textbook.
Where does one go for actually informed atheistic critiques of religion? I'm feeling my brain atrophy after reading some of the threads here.
You wont find any atheist that is informed about theism and other important questions dealing about the meaning of life., because Atheism is simply Nothing.
Atheism does not and will never be able to answer the meaning of life, the before and after of life, purpose of life, etc. This is because it is stuck with physical and can not and will not talk about anything else but physical. They lack the comprehension about rising above oneself and try to extrapolate the notion that what they see around them has some intelligent creator. They are willing to believe that there is sentient life on other planets without proof (just on the notion that there is sentient life here on Earth, WOW!! that was proof). Yet the notion that there is a higher being above themselves that is responsible for their existence is too complex for them to accept. Because their ego is too large !! (Larger than the universe). Furthermore, they will spill out quotes with misguided interpretations from religious books to prove their point. However, it is very weak, because they don't offer to anyone alternate thought.
This is the best an Atheist can do for alternate answer on what exists before birth and after death? NOTHING. What is the purpose of life? NOTHING. Where did universe come from? NOTHING. What should I do? NOTHING.
What a bunch of LAZY MORONS!!! If the current religions don't make sense or are contradictory, then don't follow them. It does not prove God does not exist, nor does it prove that life has no purpose.
This is way Atheism is dumb and being an atheist is just plain retarded.
