RE: Atheism = Desperation

November 1, 2014 at 9:52 am (This post was last modified: November 1, 2014 at 9:55 am by robvalue.)

I would call this argument the "double underpants gnomes" argument:

Step 1: Make observations
Step 2: ???
Step 3: A god must have made everything
Step 4: ???
Step 5: God is exactly as described in my story book
Step 6: Do exactly what I say or I'll beat the shit out of you

Religion is the desperation to have an answer to everything in nice black and white terms, plus justification for whatever beliefs you hold already. Sceptical atheism is the desire to deal with reality on reality's terms.

Feel free to send me a private message.
