How can you convince me of anything when you say freewill does not exist and that people are products of their environment? You think people would be happier without religion, but what about Russia? Atheism is empty, nihilistic. If religion is a delusion, which it's not, it is a delusion with a future. If you deny people a way of mass communion and bonding, society will fall apart.

Completely free will doesn't exist, and I don't see you refuting that, I just see you mocking it.
What ABOUT Russia? Are you saying all of Russia is miserable? Again, not backing yourself up, so why should I give a crap about it?
Atheism is not nihilism. That's a common misconception. Atheism is being without belief in deities. That's it. Atheism isn't inherently ANYTHING ELSE.
Why would I deny mass communication and bonding? Religion doesn't have a monopoly on that kind of thing and certainly isn't the healthiest way for people to bond and communicate. It promotes unnecessary guilt and shame as well as the compulsion to defend the indefensible.

If you are convinced that a god created and controls all then freewill does not exist. People are a product of both heredity and environment. You see religion as the only means people have to commune and bond? There you couldn't be further off the mark. Religion is but one of many many methods

Hm..lets see here. Society IS falling apart. War after war has been fought in the name of religion. Babies are dying on the streets, old people can't go outside because they'd be raped or jumped. If you think society is successful you are just plain delusional. Society started falling apart many years ago. Remember Hitler??? Killing millions of people in the name of Jesus? Why do religious people think it's OK to act better than everyone else?

What about Russia? Very bad example....Russia is no longer an officially atheistic country and now we see what lawless and brutal people they really are....you think Putin is a good man? Do you think the Russians who have formed a Mafia-like society are not empty and nihilistic? Please engage brain before putting mouth in gear!

i does no longer say its a contradiction, yet unreasonable to ask information of something that won't be able to be shown. information is for information and God is previous information by being the very source of it. Atheist believe that each and every one theist believe that God is something you be conscious with the actual senses. they do no longer comprehend by what signifies that they even comprehend what they comprehend, now to not indicate the source for understanding. Atheist pick information of ways theist clarify God's life.

Not a bit of that made the first iota of sense, but you are kinda funny... so you get points for that.
Atheism and nihilism are two different things. So are atheism and communism or socialism. Russia and similar govts were motivated by their ideologies concerning govt, not their atheist worldview.

Atheists have no logic except to argue away God. They fear being "formed" into something other than what their evil, carnal and devilish desires are. Believers scare the crap out of them so much that they feel they need to call them "crazy" or illogical, or whatever.
Atheists have no logic.
