OP, if you want to read some wacky arguments and get a lobotomy on the cheap you'd be best off reading the arguments from the poster 'little rik' (above). That's some nut fuckery you're unlikely to encounter in meat space.

I just stumbled across my youtube comments' replies, and found THE stereotypical close-minded christian yet again.
Comments goes as follows:
User 'Ekto Snot'
+Yu Xi Tao (that's me) My friend, your assumption was already talked and studied. And guess what? He existed! Before bullshiting, learn! Bullshit, we can all talk.

My reply:
User 'Yu Xi Tao'
What the actual fuck? You are trying to convince me a invisible male/female in the sky exists by saying he does? What kind of argument is that? You know what, you're not worth reasoning...
---------------------------------------------------------
What he meant by assumption was the evolution theory. You know, his comment actually made me laugh. Anyways, I didn't really think it would be worth reasoning.
"The belief that everything came from a invisible man, was rational enough in the prehistoric era.
This belief in the modern world however, is hallucination and cannot be explained otherwise."

I actually enjoyed Dawkins and TGD
. It was my first time reading on the subject of atheism. I really liked his concept of the crane versus the skyhook when talking about natural selection and creationism. But I am relatively new to atheism, and far from a great intellect, the likes of which I see all the time on these forums, so what the hell do I know? ?

I also enjoyed TGD very much, one of my favourite books ever. Oh, BTW though, he borrowed the crane and skyhook analogy from Daniel Dennett.
