Is Lack of Belief the Best You Can Do?
RE: Is Lack of Belief the Best You Can Do?

Even before reading this article, I adopted a signature mocking the idea that atheism is simply a lack of belief. I have posted this link as an invitation to discuss the points raised by the author who just so happens to be an atheist:

You are making a few wrong assumptions here. We are not all in this game for the reason.  Some are out for revenge and no observations that counter that anti-religious theme will be accepted.  The main problem is that some don't even know what drives them.  In reality, apologetic atheism and apologetic theist is the only reasonable positions, for now, using  what we do know.   And we don't know a lot.
