The only argument one needs for atheism is simply not being convinced by all the ridiculous theistic fantasies. I was a christian once myself but as soon as I seriously examined my christian theology I started to recognize what a laughable crap it really was.

Giving murderous pedophiles the free will to inflict untold harm on innocent children seems like a pretty evil exception for a perfectly good creator to make.

I watched with my 12 year old daughter. It speaks volumes that she was able to point out the fallacies in Richard Swinburne's "rebuttal to atheist arguments" in real time.

I am aware of only *_one_* argument for atheism, and it's _irrefutable._ "I am not convinced that gods exist."

I think Mr. Lawrence is very honest, he is basically following good reasoning. What we see, very frequently, it is that theists’ reasons are tremendously adaptable; so that, their ideas look reasonable. A sort of demagogic art.
