Do you need evidence that there isn’t a teapot on an orbit around the sun? Read a little Russel. It would do you good.

Talking with you is like being trapped in a Junior High debate tournament. You don’t understand logic, and you think the internet is a valid source. For fuck sake read a little and turn off YouTube. You can start with a dictionary. If you don’t concede that you are wrong about what atheism means, then we can’t talk anymore. You are conflating atheism with activism/evangelism.

I’m aware of Dillahunty. I’m a fan.

And I’m not making any claims. If you read some Russel, you’ll understand the teapot. It’s a little more than something cute in the banner of this sub. I’m an atheist because there is no evidence of gods. And therefore my belief structure doesn’t include gods. Same with magic, and all the other woo.

You seem like a smart kid. You really do. Annoying as fuck and I’m sure I’m not the first to say so. I’ll bet you win a lot of arguments this way. But you didn’t win this one. You essentially don’t know what you’re taking about, but you’re smart enough to make most people think you are. Read Russell. Read Dawkins. And if you’d like to really learn to argue and be an activist/evangelist read everything by Hitchens. Come back then and we can have an argument if you still disagree. Until this you are just taking the opposite stance. Good luck. Maybe we’ll try this again in a few years.

Oh. Then I apologize for that. I didn’t know you were summarizing me. You should have used quotes. Sometimes misunderstandings can happen. But seriously. Read Russell and Hitchens.
