I. Common Misconceptions About Atheism/Agnosticism -

First thing to say is that most atheists are not positive atheists. We do not think for one second that we can scientifically disprove the existence of a creator. However we see no reason convincing enough to believe in a creator.

• Atheists think that something can come from nothing. We simply do not know what that nothing is. It is a gap in our understanding of the origins of the universe. That doesn’t mean the existence of a creator would make an easy escape, because then we are gifted with an even bigger gap then before, who created the creator? Well that is also safe guarded because the creator is beyond understanding and reason… well fuck.

• We have no morals! This one is a gem, and is abused by Muslims. The idea that we follow no rules and are recklessly destroying the good values organized religion likes to take complete credit for. It is true that evolution itself has no definitive right and wrong. However if I step on a porcupine, chances are I am not going to step on it again. I scratch your back, you scratch mines. These are all basic things we can understand through observing reality and experiencing it. So too say that a world full of atheist would be a terrible place is bullocks. We are not victim to the principles of Darwinian nature anymore. Give human beings some credit SHEESH! A world without religion, is not a world with law.

• Hitler and Stalin and their actions were a product of Atheism. BULLSHIT. Stalin was in fact an atheist, but his atheism played no role in his actions at all. Now Hitler is not an atheist, but one can argue that his actions displayed a Darwinian nature of survival of the fittest. HOWEVER he took that natural principle into his own hands and like I said earlier we are not victims to the Darwinian principles any longer. That is why we have shelter homes and such.

IV. Catholics (these are fun) -

Most Catholics understand that proving god is impossible to do. Because of this when arguing with a catholic it is very common to get into a circular argument. This can be avoided however. All you have to do is point out that they are using The God of The Gaps. The God of The Gaps is basically answering the holes in our understanding with magic. Since we don’t know the cause of matter or how the universe was created, it is simply God. They become even more convinced that this is a plausible tactic simply because they have a very poor understanding of atheism. Some may claim that the only thing a human being can prove absolutely is that the human being exists, and the human beings can only prove this to itself. It cannot prove anything else at all. This is an attempt to make atheism seem a leap of faith. It is in fact not a leap of faith.

• Why is Atheism not a leap of faith? - an Atheist who does not believe in God; without justifications; requires no faith. Negation of a belief is not a positive belief.

At this point once we get down to the fact that we cannot disprove god nor prove god, Catholics will usually try to reason that belief in a creator is more reasonable and rational than to not believe in it. The answers Catholicism gives are enough to justify it regardless if the answers are true or not. They use happiness, hope, purpose, and safe harbor to justify their belief. The only reasonable thing is the truth, not a safe and convenient illusion. It is human nature to ask why, however that is not a valid question and is silly. There is no ultimate purpose for human life or the universe. That doesn’t mean that we cannot have personal goals or meaning.
