RE: Ok I admit it
Unfortunately I don't have any way of getting ahold of any atheist literature outside of that available for free online.

These can get you started. Rather than just someone asserting their position without rebuttal (atheist, theist, or deist) you can view several debates that should cover all of the arguments you have brought up, as well as others you may be unfamiliar with.

NOT logic:
1. Claim to have logic
2. Throw a tantrum when asked to present it
3. Claim you've already presented it
4. Repeat step 1

When metaphysics is claimed to effect the natural world, yeah, it is open to scientific inquiry.

When theists claim their god answers prayers, that is a testable claim.

When theists claim their god communicates with them, that is a testable claim.

They are claiming to be 'god detectors'.

You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.

Well... available for free online... that would be almost anything that can be viewed on a screen and/or heard on speakers! Wink

Yeah it should, since science has no need to debunk something that has no basis in itself. Dodgy

The internet is a great source of information.

Glad you've decided to investigate for yourself. It's a precious gift.
