1. Is there an organized group of atheists that has a global presence?
2. For what reason do you go about and try to disprove the beliefs of the theists?
3. Isn't the belief/knowledge that there is without a doubt no God/gods also faith based? ( I don't just mean the Christian God, but the existence of higher beings in general, and please don't bring up the stupid flying spaghetti monster argument).
1. No. Some claim that there are prominent atheist groups, and though all the members might be atheists, the thing that brings them together usually have something to do with e.g. political agendas.
2. I don't. They are entitled to practice their faith if they want to.
3. No. R'hllor, Huan or Cthulhu are merely characters in books, why should Jehovah, Yahweh or Allah be any different?
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura
