“If one religion were 'true,' we would expect to see, even if only once in all of recorded history, a religious missionary that had stumbled upon a culture that shared the same revelations — brought forth by the same deity.” GodChristianityAtheismEvidenceMissionaryTrue ReligionFalse Author:David G.

“If in some radical miracle, the Abrahamic God revealed his existence to the world, I’d accept the belief in the deity — but I still wouldn't worship it. The jealous and angry God that justified the killings of millions, sent plagues upon first borns, and abhorred homosexuals would not be worthy of my worship.” BelieveHateWorshipEvidenceKillingJustifiedRevelationHomosexualsPlaguesFirst Borns Book:Mom, Dad, I'm an Atheist: The Guide to Coming Out as a Non-Believer Source: Mom, Dad, I'm an Atheist: The Guide to Coming Out as a Non-Believer
“If there's a god, it knows exactly what it would take to convince me and has refused to provide it. In fact, it has gone to great lengths to hide any evidence of its existence. That doesn't seem like a deity that wants to be worshiped to me.” IfsKnowsWantFactsSeemsExistenceGoneEvidenceConvinceLengthDeities Author:David G. McAfee
“Some people spend their entire lives devoted to a religion that claims to be the ‘right’ religion... they often deny scientific evidence that contradicts their archaic holy books, they sometimes oppress those who disagree with them, and they always do what they do in the name of an unknowable deity... but sometimes, they wake up. Occasionally, they realize that all religions are man-made and that none of them are ‘right.’ And when they do, they can live happy and fulfilling lives without dogma and without anticipating or fearing an afterlife.” PeopleMenMadeBookSometimesNamesRealizingHolyEvidenceClaimsWake UpDenyDisagreeAfterlifeDogmaDevotedFulfillingDeitiesHoly BooksFulfilling LifeScientific EvidenceLive Happy Author:David G.

“Without cultural indoctrination, all of us would be atheists. Or, more specifically, while many may dream up their own gods as did our ancestors, they would certainly not be ‘Christian’ or ‘Jewish’ or ‘Muslim’ or any other established religion. That’s because, without the texts and churches and familial instruction, there are no independent evidences that any specific religion is true. Outside of the Bible, how would one hear of Jesus? The same goes for every established religion.” MayDreamWould BeChristianJesusChurchEvidenceIndependentAtheistInstructionAncestorIndoctrination Author:David G. McAfee
“Christian apologists who argue that a story about an empty tomb is convincing evidence of a resurrected body are likely unfamiliar with Occam’s razor, which states that among competing hypotheses, the hypothesis with the fewest assumptions should be selected. They assume that the most likely explanation is miraculous resurrection through some unproven divine connection, but more likely scenarios include a stolen body, a mismarked grave, a planned removal, faulty reports, creative storytelling, edited scriptures, etc. No magic required.” ShouldStatesStoriesBodyChristianCreativeMagicDivineEvidenceEmptyConnectionsAssumingArguingScriptureGravesStorytellingExplanationAssumptionReportsEtcResurrectionCompetingHypothesisStolenConvincingMiraculousScenariosTombsUnfamiliarSelectedRazorsRemovalEditedOccam's RazorConvincing Evidence Author:David G.
