Purchasing One's Atheism Cheaply

RE: Purchasing One's Atheism Cheaply
(October 5, 2013 at 11:18 am)_xenu_ Wrote: While this may not be popular post, there is a grain of truth to the OP. The arguments in favor of atheism are overwhelming, while atheism and its proponents have become much more prominent in recent years. Its quite easy to win debates on the subject without developing any real intellectual depth. To call yourself an atheist and defend the position used to be much harder than it is now. Much less independent thinking is required because the best talking points have already been pointed out by people like Richard Dawkins. Those of us who came before had to figure it out for ourselves.

I don't really feel ashamed of employing a correct answer just because it's an old one. Sure, I employ counter apologetics that I read somewhere else, but it a conclusion has weight then it doesn't matter if I thought it up myself or not.

I'd rather be correct and called a dullard, than creative but incorrect. Happily, I can usually be both of the former.
