Purchasing One's Atheism Cheaply

[Bob Kelso]

I had to have years of thinking over my faith before I reached the conclusion that it was all a lie. I didn't 'cheaply' buy into atheism I had to fight against my upbringing and things that I had internalized over my entire lifetime to get to where I am, and where am I? In a place where I no longer rely on a deity that doesn't exist, where I don't reprimand myself over blasphemy or religious thought crime (or thought sin if you will), where I am fully rational and can appreciate the one and only life I will ever have because I don't have to waste my time sending prayers to something that isn't there and being afraid of some imaginary construct's hell.

It's not my fault, nor any other atheist's for that matter, that theist arguments are so weak that they have been repeatedly taken down for years and that people have references and history to rely upon instead of years of schooling.

Not everyone is of grand intellect, and frankly it doesn't take a lot of intelligence to see through religious bullshit.

For those of us who were indoctrinated from an early age, such as myself, it takes a lot of willpower and time spent ruminating over what is true and can be proven to come to the conclusion that there is no god. Atheism is anything but cheap and you and that ass you quoted are dead wrong.
