Richard Dawkins suffers stroke.

The thing is it's too easy to be an atheist. In the end it's whatever you want to believe since there is no unity. Even I could claim to be an atheist. It doesn't require researching much. Even I have listened to Dawkins, but I've also researched so much more. The more I realize, atheism is an empty vessel. It's void of purpose, and in the end, a useful tool to those who are against God, and the ultimate reality. It's a way to replace by God, by putting yourself in it's place. Almost trans humanism without the technology.

You're right.  It's easy to be an atheist.  You just have to be born and live your life embracing reality as it unfolds.  Unlike religion, you don't have to make any painstaking effort to determine which ancient book is divinely inspired, then to actually try to decipher what that ancient book actually says, since there is no consensus among your fellow believers.  How would you actually arrive at which book is the true one anyway?  Would you pray to each religion's messianic figure and wait to see which one responds?  Oh wait, no... you just go with the one most prominent in the culture you were born into, and/or the one your parents teach you is true.  

Y'know, come to think of it... being a believer is pretty fucking easy.  In fact, it seems easier to be a believer than to buck the system and admit that there's really no good reason to believe any of those things.   You don't really have to research anything to believe.  I mean c'mon, do you really think that most of the believers in America arrived at their faith through research?  Let's not be silly.  On the other hand, atheists need not study to reach the conclusion of unbelief.  They just need to ask themselves, "What good reason do I have to believe in any of this?" 

That's where you come in.  What makes you sure that you're right? 

Notice, I didn't ask you to share why it's better to believe.  Your list of correlations between atheism and human misery do not impress me.  I'm only interested in what's true, so let's hear your reasons for being so confident that your God actually exists and your specific dogma is true.

Didn't see your response until I posted at your other post, but I'll give you a reply tomorrow.
