Brand New Atheist

I just watched this totally ridiculous video on YouTube. The gentlemen in the video is using commonality to defend his point.

Having the majority of people refer to something incorrectly does not change it’s definition.

He says “Atheism is a belief plain and simple. It takes as much FAITH to believe a god does not exist as it does to believe that a god does exist.”
This statement is completely false. If you’re not an Atheist then you really don’t understand how we think and he proves that he doesn’t.

He continues the video as if his prior sentence is true. Since it’s not there is no value to be had in the remainder of his comments.

You wouldn’t trust a plumber with advice about how to fix your electrical. Why would you believe a theist knows how an atheist thinks? It’s fair to say that you shouldn’t.

I’ve been both. A theist and now an atheist. I work on both Macs and PCs and it’s obvious to me when someone makes comments that are completely false about Macs.
This follows that same rule. When a PC user (who doesn’t use a Mac) makes claims about Macs that are false he only proves his ignorance to people who use both.

The theist in the video does not understand both sides. But he does have the right to express his opinion, even when it displays his own ignorance.

You can’t understand what it’s like to be poor if you were born rich. I’m trying to make the point that you can’t trust what he’s saying because he doesn’t understand both sides.
He only understand how the other side looks from his point of view.

My point of view differs in the fact that I’m very familiar with both sides and I understand them completely.

This was my first time online to look up Atheism. Seriously.

A good question would be if I was surrounded by so many religious people how did I come to this conclusion. It started with the death of James Kim. Why if I and millions of people were praying for this one man who at the time was in full health did he die? It’s because God is imaginary. I’m a research fanatic so I turned my interest towards religion. I learned many things I didn’t know and some I had already begun thinking about. I learned of Richard Dawkins and his book The God Delusion. I was unwilling to fight for a belief in God (that never made sense to me) over everything that made reasonable sense to me. So after giving it some serious thought I decided I didn’t believe in God, but not just the God I had been believing in, all Gods. After giving it a little more thought I decided I didn’t believe in anything supernatural or superstitious like luck and fait. So am I agnostic pretending to be atheist? No.

I’ve found some seriously compelling information on the fact that God does not exist. I don’t need convincing nor am I trying to convince myself. I find it interesting to find information that I hadn’t even thought about but fully supports God doesn’t exists. This by no means what convinced me nor is it comprehensive, it’s just more research.

I learned something very important about my belief and my faith. I learned that I had a belief in God and I changed my belief but I never had faith in God or the Bible. So it’s not possible to say that I lost or gave up my Faith when I never had any. I merely had a belief in something and after research I changed my belief.

So I continue to read about atheism. My atheism has sparked my interest in Darwinism. Since I no longer believe we were put on earth in our current form we must have evolved from something whether it be primates or something else. What little I’ve learned already has been amazing. There are amazing arguments that evolution exists whether we came from God or single cell organisms. I’m beginning to believe in the Big Bang Theory. The world is a different place when you realize this is the only life you will ever have.
