Atheists, tell me, a Roman Catholic: why should I become an atheist?

[Excited Penguin]

I think the better question is, why do you believe in God? 

I can offer you plenty of reasons why you shouldn't. Will you listen to me? 

First of all. Your God, Yahweh, is a product of the Bible. A book. A very old book that contradicts itself over and over. Millions of books have been written since and before, a very large part of them far superior to the Bible on any topic it touched, not least of all Morality. The point is, though, it is a book at the end of the day. All you have is a simple book. It may be very popular, but so are and have been others, not least of all the Koran, so that is proof of nothing right there. It makes claims about reality that are at serious odds with science. Science which gave us triple life spans in a couple of centuries. Removed countless illnesses. Gave us speed, comfort, entertainment. Gave us the ability to host 7 billion people on this planet. Science which gave us practically everything we concern ourselves with today. Everything of relevance that surrounds us. That alone should give you pause. 

What is the Bible good for? What is it but a piece of literature that by mere accident of history became a most successful exemplary of the most potent propagandistic device known to man, religion? What relevance does it hold, except the one you give it yourself? 

Stop believing in it just because your fellow citizens do. Start looking at it critically. The whole God idea and everything related to it is ridiculous on its face. It is insane. It belongs in the asylum, in the history books, or in fiction. 

Good luck, my friend. May Jesus be with you.
