You don't crucify people with just one nail.

I think we're past that now. These are mostly just arguments for the *absurdity* of theism.

The primary reasons for concluding that there is no god are:

o There is no known requirement for a creator in order for the universe to be as we see it.

o There is no evidence that, despite being unnecessary, a deity exists anyway.

o There are no substantial arguments in favour of a deity existing.

All of those would really work, but for me mostly because of the "poor design" I guess. There are so many things wrong with the Bible, and so many loopholes. I mean, you can DISPROVE Heaven! And if their God is "all knowing and all powerful", then how could he be "angry" with us?? He made all this stuff happen!

And why did God create us? What does he get out of it? Are we just something to entertain him? And if God created everything, why did he create Sin? And if Sin is the Devil, then how did the snake, aka Satan, tempt Eve? How did he exist if Adam and Eve were the first beings on Earth? Was Satan right up there with God? Why didn't God do something about it THEN before we got into all this ****? And if Satan IS real, why doesn't God kick his *** and get rid of him? I mean, if it's God, he can do anything, right?

Wow, I've never ranted entirely in questions before. But I think you got my point[s]...right?

Argument from a proper basis.

- If I accept a god without evidence, then I should accept dragons, unicorns and mermaids on the same basis.

Plus parsimony. This shows that man needed to create god, not the other way around.

The atheist-existentialist argument
Read Sartre.

All of them really. I just think that the total weight of the evidence, not proof, evidence, is against the existence of any god, so much against the existence of any god that I consider myself an atheist instead of an agnostic.

All of the above. Sure- I don't expect heaven on earth, but there's just too much suffering to believe in a caring and forgiving God anymore. I gave up on it years ago pretty much.

I don't "prefer" any of them. The combination of the strength of the various argument against God are sufficient to disbelieve for me, but I don't think any single one of them is really a silver bullet that proves God's nonexistence on its own.

edit: Hypnopope said the same thing as me, only much better... I defer any thumbs ups I get to him.

The argument from free will (one of the many, to say the least).
