100 Facts Every Atheist Teen Must Know

I don't want to advocate one POV. I just want people to think critically and come to their own conclusion. This will lessen religion's influence.

Yet you think scientism is the only POV. I find that strange. You think that there is no merit in religion... I find that to be extremely arrogant and baselessly dissmissive.

That's because we're finding that thinking outside of science is less and less useful to our daily lives. As for the genius of religious texts, I know not what you speak of.

Useful for material solutions yes. Useless in aiding creative thought for example. There's a huge wad of human endeavour that you're censoring out there.

If you don't know what that genius is aren't you at least interested in what it is before you destroy it? Are you the equivellant of those assholes that destroyed the libraries at Greece?

Logic and science are both a set of organized observations of the natural world. Exactly how one finds a god that is constantly defined as un-observible from within those walls is beyond me.

No self respecting scientist would ever be caught up with such a proposal: because they would know that it falls outside of their remit: as defined by science itself.

There ARE more things to reality than what science knows, yes; but the things that we know about that have an effect on our reality are mostly documented by science or at least hinted about by mathematics.

You are still talking about subjects potentially addressable by science, where religion never ever is. Religious truth has nothing to do with phyisical mechanisms: if that's how you read it then you're way off subject.
