  Lone Wolfs Den — Authority: 123

• On Atheism and Veganism

  
  Animal Person — Authority: 122
  For me, atheism and veganism go hand-in-hand. Why? Most of us were born to or adopted by people who eat animals and believe in a god, and that was all a mere accident of birth and/or geography. But something inside us (and perhaps prompted by something outside us) gradually (or quickly) questioned what was ...

  Lone Wolfs Den — Authority: 123
  A tired old very stupid argument for the existence of God used by nihilists in denial.Without God, life is meaningless. We are just temporary collections of atoms destined to die and then thats it, we are gone.This argument fails on multiple levels.Its an argumentum ad aonsequentiam fallacy.

  Greenlee Gazette — Authority: 142
  Image from source, Las Vegas City Life Thanks to Stupid Monkey Planet for the tip for this story. Im sort of caught in the middle in modes of thought on this issue.

• ‘Atheist Mythology:’ or, Speaking Truth to Crazy

  
  kunochan.com — Authority: 112
  I have gone through several phases in my various ill-fated efforts to debate Creationists. At first, I made the freshman error of debating the facts, learning too late that theists have no interest in facts, and freely invent their own (as do conspiracy theorists and UFO believers). Then I switched to contempt ...

Who decided that?”. The argument fails because it assumes that the ...
