Best books debunking Christianity

[Neo-Scholastic]

If Christianity were debunked I would just look for God elsewhere. Atheism is not a serious alternative IMHO.

That is one of the most intriguing things I have heard anyone say on here, where would you look Neo ?

I would go back to the fundamentals of the Western philosophical tradition, about as far back as Plotinus. From there I would revert to the same curious interest in various spiritual traditions that I had even back when I was an atheist.

Fuck IMHO.

Screw you too.

… your Aquinas' beloved "5 ways" is hardly convincing.

Whether someone is convinced or not is his or her subjective response. Nevertheless the logic of Aquinas is impeccable given two background assumptions which are 1) the intelligibility of the world and 2) the efficacy of reason. Accepting those assumptions is an existential choice. Those who do not accept those assumptions or remain unaware of their own assumptions are likely not to follow the 5 ways.

[Neo] is going to assert we're all nihilists, isn't he?

(my edit)

Personally, IMO, from a purely intellectual point of view, nihilism is the ultimate conclusion of any philosophy without some grounding in the Divine. I cannot say that definitively, since I cannot exclude the possibility that some historic or current atheistic philosophy of which I am unaware avoids it. Nor can I exclude the possibility that some future atheistic philosophy could provide suitable absolutes.

Likewise, do not I deny that some atheists feel justified in making moral claims or attributing purpose and meaning to things. They may find doing so satisfying; however, I believe such stances without warrant.
