"because they clearly have done no research on the topic".

okey dokey.

I've read some, not real page turners for me though. Dawkins on evolution is good, Carrier has the history and philosophy chops, but in general I don't need other people's arguments for any position on religious subjects, the arguments for the case are so profoundly weak that they require no real effort to dismiss.

IF you're interested in stuff that will help, Socrates on how things are knowable is decent. a foundation in real informational logic tears apart religious claims pretty handily.

I ask you do you or do you not believe in any devine being of any kind any where. Why do you need to argue your own truth. Unless you are not completely convinced that gods do not exsist. Do you feel the need to convert anyone to what we believe? What research do you need to not believe unless you are trying to convert others or you yourself are not sure what you believe bumping you up to agnostic. There is no need to argue or prove why we believe what we believe. Unless your goal is to confuse and torment fundamentalist southern Baptists then I say go for it. But the case against god is not for our edification it is a way to make money by sensationalizing Atheism and to what end. Why on earth do we need to apostolize atheism.are we building an army are we competing for a prize based on who can convert the most people to our truth. Just slow your roll and stop trying to defend what you believe and just be. The alternative will make you angry and crazy and force you to put energy into getting to where you already are.

I read a lot about all religions. Since I've became an atheist again I find them all interesting. **I should clarify. I read next to nothing about atheists. But I'm fascinated by the different gods and rules others live by.

Depends on the length, if it goes down beyond the bottom of my screen I lose the will to live

I personally do not need arguments for the existence of god(s). Observing reality, nature and the universe is all that I need to come to my A-theist conclusion. Your mileage may vary.

not me! oddly enough (maybe) i don't feel the need to read about atheism. i am pretty confident there are no gods, i don't need to find out how to convince others there are no gods, since that's none of my business, and despite being delighted to have found this site, in general i don't think too much about gods. my main concern is that people should stop trying to legislate religion and stop discriminating against and even harassing atheists.
