There is No God (And You Know It) by Sam Harris Somewhere in the world a man has abducted a little girl. Soon he will rape, torture, and kill her. If an atrocity of this kind not occurring at precisely this moment, it will happen in a few hours, or days at most. Such is the confidence we can draw from the statistical laws that govern the lives of six billion human beings. The same statistics also suggest that this girl’s parents believe -- at this very moment -- that an all-powerful and all-loving God is watching over them and their family. Are they right to believe this? Is it good that they believe this? No. The entirety of atheism is contained in this response. Atheism is not a philosophy; it is not even a view of the world; it is simply a refusal to deny the obvious. Unfortunately, we live in a world in which the obvious is overlooked as a matter of principle. The obvious must be observed and re-observed and argued for. This is a thankless job. It carries with it an aura of petulance and insensitivity. It is, moreover, a job that the atheist does not want. It is worth noting that no one ever need identify himself as a non-astrologer or a non-alchemist. Consequently, we do not have words for people who deny the validity of these pseudo-disciplines. Likewise, “atheism” is a term that should not even exist. Atheism is nothing more than the noises reasonable people make when in the presence of religious dogma. The atheist is merely a person who believes that the 260 million Americans (eighty-seven percent of the population) who claim to “never doubt the existence of God” should be obliged to present evidence for his existence -- and, indeed, for his benevolence, given the relentless destruction of innocent human beings we witness in the world each day. Only the atheist appreciates just how uncanny our situation is: most of us believe in a God that is every bit as specious as the gods of Mount Olympus; no person, whatever his or her qualifications, can seek public office in the United States without pretending to be certain that such a God exists; and much of what passes for public policy in our country conforms to religious taboos and superstitions appropriate to a medieval theocracy. Our circumstance is abject, indefensible, and terrifying. It would be hilarious if the stakes were not so high. Consider: the city of New Orleans was recently destroyed by hurricane Katrina. At least a thousand people died, tens of thousands lost all their earthly possessions, and over a million have been displaced. It is safe to say that almost every person living in New Orleans at the moment Katrina struck believed in an omnipotent, omniscient, and compassionate God. But what was God doing while a hurricane laid waste to their city? Surely He heard the prayers of those elderly men and women who fled the rising waters for the safety of their attics, only to be slowly drowned there. These were people of faith. These were good men and women who had prayed throughout their lives. Only the atheist has the courage to admit the obvious: these poor people spent their lives in the company of an imaginary friend. This is an excerpt from An Atheist Manifesto, to be published at www.truthdig.com in December. rest at link

Ive never been to a church in my life and dont plan on going.
Never been to anything like that, Religously i mean. My mas into that, She was brought up on it. My pops, My bro and I dont belive in it and dont go either. I used to belive in it, I believed everything my ma said when i was young. Then when i got older, I realized shes fucking crazy, And my pops is the level headed one who always held everything together. Now shes still into it, And i havent for a long time. And i realize shes kinda childish/crazy about alot of things. And the crazy thing is, I smoke weed multible times a day, I drink almost every day. I pop pills. I eat shrooms. I snort coke. I do alot of drugs and mix them. I do more illegal things then just drugs. And im the level headed common sense person compared to my ma. My dad drinks, Smokes weed and occasioanly snorts coke and does pills, Not often like when he was younger. And i got my shit from him. Its odd that the drug user is the stronger person, Is the more down to earth and has more common sense person. We look more for fact then being gullible. We are see it to belive it people. We work to get wherveer we have to. We dont ask for help. We do what we want and do what we know is right. And my ma's the opposite, She smokes weed, Shes into xanax but honestly thinks its because she's too stressed and it helps, Not because shes stressed and its a buzz that relives it like weed. She drinks on the weekends, But not much at all. Shes a christian, Shes fucking like a child, She cant handle herself. She stresses out over normal things. Shes jus crazy its hard to explain. Its odd how what soceity thinks is not right when you look at it from my eyes.
