Proof #5 - Read the Bible Imagine that we are good friends. One day we are talking: Me: Wow, you will not believe this new book I've been reading! You: What's it about? Me: It is a manual for living a better life. It is also a guide to creating a better society for ourselves and our...

That is exactly the problem the theist faces. We dont see anything that happens that when examined under a microscope does not have a natural explanation. What looks like a miracle or an unnatural event always turns out to be a lack of understanding or a scam.

Proof #4 - Think about science Notice what happens when anyone is "miraculously cured". A person is sick, the person prays (or a prayer circle prays for the person) and the person is cured. A religious person looks at it and says, "God performed a miracle because of prayer!" That is the end...

Proof #3 - Watch the offering plate Have you ever thought about the offering plate in church? If God is real, why do they have to pass it? If you read these verses in the Bible, you can see that God claims to be extremely powerful and willing to answer any prayer: Matthew 7:7 Matthew...

Proof #2 - Statistically analyze prayer The fact is, God never answers any prayers. The entire idea that "God answers prayers" is an illusion created by human imagination. How do we know that "answered prayers" are illusions? We simply perform scientific experiments. We ask a group of...

God is imaginary. In the following pages i will post 50 different pieces of evidence that God is imaginary and religion is nothing more than organized superstition. All i ask is that if you are a believer just read and think about what you believe. Does it really stand up to a logical...

The meaning of life Billions of people throughout the ages have asked themselves the question, "What is the meaning of life?" Many people answer that question by turning to religion. The problem with the religious perspective is that it squanders the meaning of your time on earth. Many...

Love thy neighbor as thyself If you have ever been fortunate enough to live in a well-connected neighborhood, then you know how beneficial the human notion of community can be. A good neighborhood works because it brings hundreds of people into an environment pre-disposed to helpfulness and...

In God We Trust In American society we have a number of things that we connect to God. For example, all of our money says, "In God We Trust" on it. In the Pledge of Allegiance we say, "One nation, under God." We sing "God Bless America." And so on. This is rather amazing when you...

If someone attacks you and tries to kill you, it is OK for you to kill that person in self defense if necessary. We understand that, on a personal level, we have the right to defend our own lives. We understand it at the societal level as well. As a society, this is where the whole notion of the...

Goodness, Morality and the Ten Commandments Throughout this book we have discussed the fact that God is imaginary. You have also seen that the Bible is a normal book written by normal people living thousands of years ago, and is therefore irrelevant to us today. It is an easy extrapolation...

Understanding death From the story in the previous section you can see that the idea of death is disturbing to children. Many adults never outgrow it, so death can also be disturbing to adults -- even to adults with Ph.D.s. These adults, of course, are acting like children. You are not a...

The Horror of Death You can better understand how uncomfortable death is if you look at the reaction of a child. In my household, this discomfort first surfaced with the death of Hamsty. Let me tell you about Hamsty, because his story illustrates a central point about death. Hamsty, as...
