I'm confused as to how disproving the Bible or the Christian philosophy would successfully destroy the idea of God.
You realize that ever if you did manage to cut the head off the hydra, it will only grow back in a new form...right?
Stop using literalist Christianity to attack theism, USE LOGIC!

Why would anyone attack theism? Theism is an idea? How do I attack an idea?

The weasel way: If you can't argue the facts, argue the logic, if you can't argue the logic a personal attack on the opponent will do. Some atheists don't even try the first two before they go for option # 3. Same with Christians. When will people learn that we must all carefully investigate the truth for ourselves? Don't let anyone sucker you into any position. Do your own work.

We are saying that nothing is there. All we need to do to make our case is defend it against those that say there is. I haven't the slightest idea how you would even start to show them there is no god in a general way.
Sure I think religion will come back in a different form. Humans are afraid to die and will believe anything to stop that. I do think that if Christianity took a big hit it would at least fragment those that want to hold science back because it disagrees with their myth. Hopefully to the point where they wouldn't be that dangerous.

Atheists generally do use logic, but as all humans, sometimes our logic fails.
As far as "disproving the Bible or the Christian philosophy" is concerned, that is not meant to "destroy the idea of God." Rather, it is for the purpose of dealing with certain Christians who think that everyone must "accept Jesus Christ as their personal savior" and are more than willing to shove their beliefs down other's throats.

Probably the abuse of science, the language of actual truth, as done in" the case for the creator". That's because it actually took me a few minutes of thinking and googling their assumptions to realize the author was lying about scientific facts.

Although disproving the bible (which is, of course, totally trivial to do) may be sufficient to disprove specific religious beliefs (and is useful for that reason), it cannot, by itself, disprove an idea of god. Nor can that be done by any other means: neither the existence nor non-existence of god can be proved by any means whatever. But it follows from that (provable) that no theory of religion can be of any use: no such theory can make any predictions about the real world. It is, of course, simpler to assume no such theory.

Stop confusing the atheists. They can't understand what you're saying here. After all, if they can't figure out that there is a God, how can we expect them to use - ah - what's that word, Logic? Where would they get that Logic?
Somebody give me some thumbs down will you?

I'm amused by this question.
The very first thing after the initial question is 2 sentences of "ad hominem" attacks... LOL

They do this because you are beginning to crack into their world by exposing them as frauds, malcontents, and foolish people.
Hell, you'd be like that too, right?

In trying to point out the inconsistancies, we are trying to prove the illogicalness of their own arguements. Or something.
