My favorite argument 'for' atheism is that I don't promise my argument be rational. This means I can say anything I want, and still feel like I am right! ^_^ And when everyone disagrees with me, I can condescendingly smile, because I know I am right, and if they disagree, then they are wrong ^_^
Basically, if I argue in favor of atheism: atheism wins! ^_^ Doesn't matter what the argument is, just matters who says it
Your hero seriously asks you to jump off a cliff because his shoes were tied by the wrong maid this morning: good argument. Sickly street bum present you with 5000 bazilion sound arguments in favor of evolution when you are a skeptic: bad argument.
Presentation is 90% of argument, debate, cooking, and sex ^_^
(Non-silly: I actually don't like many of those arguments noted in the poll, and if you seek to debate this with me, know first that I am always right, even when your argument is sound and mine ridiculous)

It's a position of faith ^_^ I'm faithful, filled up with faith, full of faith, not half empty of faith, and other faith related thingies ^_^
In other words, you faithless heathens may be equated to little babies. I wonder if your taste is not dissimilar >_>
Nobody needs a reason to believe anything! ^_^ Actually, that's false... but it is true that nobody must *consciously* involke a reason when they believe anything ^_^
God isn't improbable ^_^ He's just very very shy. And jealous. And likes a good hamburger (that is actually filled with cow...). Honestly, he's just a very insecure and depressed person. Poor fellow, i know how he feels to an extent, except I can get sex without forcing people. Poor God... do not you feel for him? Not only does he exist, but you're coming onto this forum and saying that he doesn't. He reads this forum, you know... while he cuts himself. But no matter how many times he tries to commit suicide: he can't, because he's God. Being able to do anything can become awfully depressing really fast...
I really have to wonder about all these people who give him a hard time (not to say you just were, Evie... i just had to get that out of my system, and your post somehow triggered this response).

That is not necessarily true. Atheism can be a belief that God is impossible (gnostic atheism) or a belief that God is merely more improbable than probable.

Quote:It is true that atheism doesn't need a reason to disbelieve, but it does need a reason to consider God improbable. I consider God to be highly improbable based on his complexity and also the fact that a thing such as God is just so far from our experience that it is rational of us to infer him as improbable.

Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
