Due to constant misunderstanding with my name I feel the need to change my intro. I am hateful, hateful of religion. I hate what religion does to people and that people use it as an excuse to not think. I have spent many years of my life as an Atheist and have learned to handle my emotions, but no other word quite describes how I feel towards religion short of hate. I am outspoken, open minded, and will share my opinion. If you're looking for someone who will always agree with you, that won't be me.

Question with 7 notes

Anonymous asked: what do you think about richard dawkin - the god delusion? i've read some reviews about this book and many atheists say that this book is a shame for every "real" atheist because of the weak arguments etc. i thought it was great. what do you think?

Many Atheists tend to look down their noses at other Atheists that they feel aren’t as nuanced as they are. “The God Delusion” was a very well written book and one I recommend strongly to people that are new to the concept of Atheism. It appeals well to a new audience and works as a great introduction. There strength of the arguments can be debated but he covers a variety of topics, besides religion has never been able to tackle even the easiest problems so almost all the argument points against religion still have some merit.
