Atheism's Definition - Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy

Waffle. Meaningless waffle.

Quote:An atheist cannot even account for his own reason without circularity. How do you know your reasoning is valid?

Because it is based on evidence, and facts. This validates it.

Quote:God is an explanation for the existence of the Universe, life, the fine tuning of physical laws, design, morality, uniformity in nature, the laws of logic, and many other things.

No, god isn't an explanation at all. It is a guess. It is a wild stab in the dark - which is incidentally what you would get if I ever met you down some dark alleyway.

Quote: The rest - waffle, waffle, waffle, waffle, bit more waffle, silly claims, circular reasoning and waffle, waffle, waffle

Meaningless drivel.
You are currently experiencing a lucky and very brief window of awareness, sandwiched in between two periods of timeless and utter nothingness. So why not make the most of it, and stop wasting your life away trying to convince other people that there is something else? The reality is obvious.
