THIS! Basically says it all!

We are warranted to ask: If the Christian God is mere fiction, why are he and his followers so hated across the globe?

No one in history has ever hated fiction, but millions upon millions have hated truth that makes them uncomfortable. And only the Christian God has been hated with such terrible ferocity by all nations since Christianityโ€™s inception following the crucifixion of Christ.

Either Christianity is false, and humanity is throwing a fit over it like a bunch of petty children because theyโ€™re delusional. Or Christianity is the true myth of reality, and humans donโ€™t want it because it demolishes their preferred worldviews.

Awesome stuff. Too bad the atheist who made the meme didn't bother looking for the arguments we actually use. It's not like they aren't out there. https://ryan4tner.substack.com/i/187738615/the-questions-in-question-evolution

Amen. They play dumb so they can look smart, and in this case, it really didnโ€™t work out.

I like that you point out โ€œfaithโ€ in objection 10. No worldview escapes faith, because no human can achieve 100% technical certainty. We are not omniscient.

We all look at the evidence available, and attempt to make an inference to the best explanation.

Everyone is religious. Atheists just donโ€™t want to admit it. Because then they canโ€™t keep up their manufactured image of pseudo-superiority.

Nicely done ๐Ÿ‘ these atheist memes should return to the Reddit slop from whence they came.

Why do you want to โ€˜beatโ€™ the atheists though? What game are you talking about? As an atheist, I surely don't want to beat anyone, regardless of their religious beliefs. Because it ain't a f***ing game. No, everyone is not religious. Not the atheists, not the so called โ€˜religiousโ€™ people who only wear a big cross on their chest then proceeds to Commit crimes.Religion is beautiful if done right. But for majority of people that are part of religion, it is merely a costume.

I'm referring to the game of logic and reason, which atheists act like they have a monopoly on. Its a metaphor for the approach that many atheists take. Not an actual game.

And yes, everyone is religious. Religion is worldview put into practice. I wrote an entire article on this topic.

Everyone has a worldview by which they interpret the world, even atheists. And everyone has rites and rituals they enact through life formulated from their worldview.

Religion cannot be escaped.

And not all religions are the same. Each, including atheism (which is materialism), makes exclusive claims about reality.

So, we are in a battle of worldviews, and whichever best explains reality is the truth (or the winner). Otherwise, the entire enterprise of studying and exploring the universe in search of knowledge is pointless.

Atheism doesn't get to escape just because atheist want to pretend it isn't a religion.
