Is it a good idea to be an atheist?

I have no faith, at all.

I don't know why I have no faith. It's the way I'm built. I don't believe shit that doesn't have demonstrable evidence.

Except that many atheists don't make that claim. Of course, that's a very inconvenient fact for your "argument", such as it is.

Now you're just being a cunt. Stop it.

No. A religious believer believes in a god or gods, while an atheist does not. It really is that simple.

Thank you

Why should I want to change your mind? You're not that important that I should take time out of my day to earn your approval of my outlook. Besides, I don't think you're insightful enough to really understand it, and trying to explain it to you would be like teaching a pig to talk: it would waste my time, and annoy the pig.

Reasoning is not evidence. Anyone with half-a-brain knows this.
