This is a radio call in show. On this particular episode atheists were asked to call in and ask questions of a Catholic apologist.

Lacking belief in a god or gods is like growing up and giving up on believing in Santa.

Why would I want to ask questions to a Catholic apologist? I grew up Catholic so I understand that religion. I just reject it now because I see no evidence that it is based on fact.
Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.

The bottom line, at least for me, the core reason I reject all claims of deities/gods/supernatural, is that it is absurd to think of a invisible brain, with no brain, no neurons and no location that has magical super powers that created us and put us on this tiny island in a hostile universe and wants us to fight over him for his own selfish glory.

Not only is such a naked assertion scientifically absurd, it is morally bankrupt.

Since this happened in June, you're a little late aren't you?

I am an atheist because I do not believe any gods exist. That is one of the definitions, no?

It began by close observation of the behavior and attitude of catholics. Then I discovered that all the rest of the theists were a bunch of cunts, too.

I heard it last night on the radio when I couldn't sleep. Thought it was an interesting enough show to share. Better late than never.
