6 Of The Ultimate Reasons Not To Be An Atheist

First off, I would like to point out that the kids in this video are hypocrites for wearing lipstick (homosexuality is a sin). All of their points are poor because they talk about what atheists can/cannot believe. The only thing atheists cannot believe in is a god (which should be obvious).

1. "atheists cannot believe there is purpose and meaning in life"
While I can't speak for all atheists, I believe my life has been given more meaning when I lost belief in a god. To believe in a god, your life only exists as a mere pawn for the amusement of a god. My purpose in life is to enjoy it to the fullest, and learn as much as possible about why I am here in the first place. The purpose of Christian life is to avoid hell.


2. "Atheists cannot believe that there is an objective moral law"

Atheists can believe whatever they wish, as long as they do not believe in a god. To be aware of any 'objective law' you would need to be able to view the world from an objective perspective, which is impossible.


3. "Atheists cannot believe they have freewill"

I believe (as an atheist) that I have freewill—just because humans are a part of "nature" does not mean that freewill is removed. If freewill can be understood as a natural process that does not remove the fundamental concept.


4.  "To be an atheist you cannot believe that you can trust your reasoning"

Atheists DO trust their reasoning. Atheists trust their reasoning to such a great extent that they risk (according to the majority of people) spending an eternity in hell because of it. Atheists trust their ability to reason much more than Christians do—this should be obvious because Christians are sheep, and sheep don't reason...they follow.


5. "Atheists cannot believe in absolute laws of logic"

This seems like more of a point against Christianity than atheism.


6. "Atheism cannot account for absolute truth"

Perhaps because absolute truth cannot be seen through the lens of subjectivity. No one can account for absolute truth—it doesn't matter how much faith a person has—they are wrong if they believe that they can.
