God FAQ

It seems that every time there is a debate over the existence of god, or the need for religion, theists seem to bring up the same (refuted) points over and over. I was thinking there must be some collection of arguments and rebuttals somewhere on the net? Could someone be kind enough to direct me to such a place?

This is correct. I'm as atheist as the next guy, and I readily admit that we can't disprove the existence of a god.

People often accuse atheism of being a religion for this very reason. As far as I'm concerned, we can't disprove a god exists just as we can't disprove my cat created the universe ten minutes ago and implanted all our memories. These gods have no physical effect on the world, and so the point is entirely moot; a rose is a rose is a rose.

So when I call myself an atheist, these are simply not the gods I'm talking about.
