Beginner's Guide to Atheism.

[Little Rik]

Thread now ruined.

By choosing a loser such as Dawkins to try to say that atheism is good VL automatically ruin the thread.

Nothing to do with me.  

[brewer]

Everything to do with you Rik.

Since newly-minted atheists might have some residual doubts about their new outlook, it might benefit them to hear some strong arguments in favor of atheism. The documentary version of Dawkins' The God Delusion does a good job of driving those final nails into the coffin of theism.

How sad VL.  

You chose a loser such as Dawkins   to try to tell that there are benefits in being an atheist.
The loser criticize religions in his drive to show that atheism is good.
Religions are based on dogmas (unproven beliefs taken as real truth) and dogmas are the most easy thing to knock down so by looking at that video people may come to the believe that what Dawkins say make sense.
In fact Dawkins doesn't make sense at all.
The loser     doesn't get that religions do not represent God point of view.
In order to demonstrate that atheism is good the loser should have left religions and their dogmas alone and try to understand whether it make sense to be an atheist or not by using other ways such as to where evolution my take us or whether the universe may have been created by someone or not.
Fools unfortunately take from what religions say rather than trying to study more interesting topics.  

Going by the old adage that it takes one to know one I only hope Rik is mistaken this time, Vulcandude, and that you are not the loser he is.

I actually think Rik is simply off his rocker this time.  You're no loser.

Typical.  A pleasant thread is started proposing to collect support media for new atheists on an atheist forum - - where people like me (relatively new atheist) come to find such support.  And the wackjob preacher just can't resist making it all about how we're stupid for rejecting his fantasies.   While we're making suggestions, how about a private area of the forum (like the Adult Forum) that is "atheist only" - - free from theist interference?   -- It would mean more work to maintain, so I can see how it might be a no-go, but geez!  To jump in and try to hijack THIS thread was really low.

We could have it as a webpage adjunct to the forum. Resources proposed here, vetted by the regulars/veterans, and posted there. Broad categories, "New to Atheism?", subcategories "Primer reading/Where do I go from here?", etc.

In fact Dawkins doesn't make sense at all.

Proof, as if any were needed, that he is way too smart for a fuckhead like you, LR.

In any event, The Bible Unearthed by Finkelstein is the best book on the subject for ripping out the foundation of jesusism.... and islam too, for that matter.  You can't build a house on a foundation of sand and the OT is a pile of shit.

You don't need Richard Dawkins for that. Jar Jar Binks is way too smart for this arsewipe, and he's a fucking cartoon.

I'd recommend every new atheist to IMMEDIATELY go eat some fresh Christian baby meat.

With all due respect, I wouldn't have expected you to give any credence to the theological opinions of Dawkins, or any of the so-called "new atheists" for that matter. Sartre or Camus would be better choices IMHO.

Meh. Not everyone's a philosopher. (Camus is a great suggestion though.) 

I picked something that resonated with me personally but also has some broad appeal. Whether it's "new atheism" or not Dawkins puts together a phalanx of arguments including Russell's teapot and many other points, many of which did not originate with him. As far as a "beginners guide to atheism" it does the job pretty well.
