The site is a great resource if you want to learn how to completely anihilate an atheist in debate. They usually begin with their "argument from evil", which asserts (allow me to simplify) that there is no God because evil exists. Of course, as with every single atheist arguement, the premises that it is built upon are totally ad-hoc, ie. flawed beyond belief. My conclusion over my many years of studying and analyzing atheist rhetoric is that Atheism is a religion, minus the formal pomp and circumstance. Reading Dennett's drivel is entertaining in the same way that reading Euginie Scott's defenses of evolution is entertaining, but altogether very unconvincing, to say the least.

if you want to learn how to completely anihilate an atheist in debate.<P. The death of atheism is greatly exaggerated. :-)

You would think that if this was the "usual" first assertion, I, as an Atheist, would have heard of it. But alas.

Me thinks you enjoy setting up strawmen and then cutting them down.

Atheism in 99.5% of the case = anti-religionism. It's true. And judging from history, wherever atheistic governments were founded, religionists (and usually everyone else) has suffered immeasurably.

Atheists are hilarious because they do in fact say that "Becasue evil exists, God cannot." Well, if you study Judaism and Christianity even minimally (which I think that as an atheist, you are obligated to study, if you are going to come to a conclusion on religion),you would know that God gave us free will, which is what allows us to do evil or good. It's a total non-starter as an argument, and absolutely pathetic that an atheist would use it.
