I am a 15 year old atheist: help!

This is a valuable point in your life when you learn to tolerate idiots.

Learn well.

You will get a lot of practice here.

When I lived at home I toed the line. My dad was a bigoted Irish Catholic. IE "you live in MY house you obey MY rules!(which included church attendance) I solved the problem by leaving home at 18.


Sadly,no one will learn there is no heaven when they die; being dead is not an experience. That realisation has has always irritated me: IF I'm right,the believers will never know. IF I'm wrong, I WILL know pretty much immediately.


I avoid arguing with believers.Partly because I don'tr care about the personal superstitions of others and because it's like talking to an orangutang.

I assert only "I do not believe in god(s), the soul,the supernatural,the paranormal,alien visitations,or fairies at the bottom of my garden due to lack of evidence"

I do NOT assert: "I believe there are no gods etc" or simply "there are no gods" because those statements are untrue of my position.The good news is that in making no claims, I have no burden of proof.The theist asserts "there is a god" or"I believe in god'. The onus is on him to prove his claim, not on me to disprove it. So far no one has managed to provide such proof in recorded history.

If you could reason with religious people there wouldn't be any (Greg House)
