Pseudo-Atheism, this one is for you...

[LivingNumbers6.626]

Hell no. My emphasis is on those atheists who use cognitive distortions and circular arguments in the face of contradicting evidence.

You have yet to provide an example. Be specific. You name dropped Hitchens, Dawkins, and Russell, but you never cited any argument that you now claim is circular.

I didn't mean to say that their arguments were circular, I meant to say that those who take the words of these thinkers as concrete knowledge without second thought to skepticism before acceptance. those are those who use circular arguments.

As in those who read God Is Not Great as their new bible.

I have no citations, for my argument is waged due to those in my personal life who have a false sense of atheism and reason.

I find no fault, and further have no refutations for these authors, only for those who accept them as prophets and gods.

In other words, I am not atheist because Dawkins and Hitchens asserts that it is wise to do so. I am atheist because I have reviewed the evidence, read the journals, and observed and experimented where possible. It just so happens that Dawkins and Hitchens were the catalyst to my exiting of religion. I read their words, hence I cross referenced and did my research.

I hope I am making myself clear.
