This guy misses the point of the term 'atheist'. Atheism does not require a person to believe anything, only to not believe in theism. It's irritating when atheists try to make atheism something more than it is. Atheism is not a belief system! An "atheistic view" is a view of the world free of a belief in a god. Some atheists try to turn atheism into a belief system because they have ideas kicking around in their head, and label themselves as an "atheist", so they try to associate the two. In-fact, the term 'atheist' should only be used when religion is being discussed, like Sam Harris says, we don't refer to people that don't believe in astrology as non-astrologers.

"Atheist! - Proof God Exist" (another Christian's failed attempt on YouTube)
The bible is apparently all the proof some Christians need. Atheists on the other-hand need just a bit more evidence than that. It seems that Christians are unable to grasp the concept of evidence. Quoting the bible does not qualify as "proof". As I have said many times over, Christians believe in God because it "feels good", atheists don't because there is no evidence.
Atheists = logical thinkers
Christians (or similar 'believers') = emotional thinkers

Creationism in a nutshell (as described by Kent Hovind)
While it doesn't have many views, this video is entertaining as hell (npi). If you didn't find it funny, you are probably not an atheist. The sad thing is, this is what creationists believe, and the arguments they use against atheists.

Atheist Assumption (rationalresponder)
Christian logic is always entertaining.
2+2=4
4 = proof God exists!
It seems many atheists enjoy debating Christians because we are fascinated by the way their mind works.
Challenge For All Atheists (littlebigronnie386)
"you are probably just laughing at me"
Yep, all atheists should laugh at people that use the bible as proof that the bible is true; what a great use of logic. Most atheists know the bible well. This is not a very good challenge, atheists know the bible better than Christians (as a whole).
"I love all people"
Bullshit.
No one loves all people, you cannot love all people unless you know all people (you cannot love someone you do not know). Serial killers, rapists, child molesters, etc. should not be loved.
mrbuchanantoyou: Religion vs Atheism
Why does this guy want an end to "the debate"? Is it because he knows his side is losing (or really has already lost"). Atheists are not running around trying to debate believers, normally it is the other way around. Most of the time it seems that believers are confronting atheists, and then getting intellectually demolished. Albeit some atheists do run around preaching atheism, it isn't very common. No Christian has to watch an atheist video, for example, or come on an atheist website (like this one). But, at the same time, some people enjoy debating. I see debating religion as a game. I find it interesting that Christians always seem intimidated by the intellect of atheists, they always seem to bring it up.
Mickipedia: "Atheism is not sad" (a good example of the problem with some atheists)
She actually sounds very sad and defensive.
I would first off like to point out that this girl does not have a "complete" world-view (she is avoiding the big questions by ignoring them). These kind of atheists are boastfully-shallow and unintellectual. Any atheist that gives their life any thought at all will be faced with many big questions. There are many big questions that have nothing to do with whether there is a God or not. I would be willing to bet this girl did not come to atheism on her own (doesn't appear to be a thinker). If she was raised as a Christian, surrounded by Christians, she would be a Christian (or perhaps a friend/boyfriend talked her out of her religion). While all of this doesn't make her a horrible person, it also doesn't qualify her to be representing the atheist perspective. These sort of atheists give believers so much material to build their straw-men.
Get in the closet, we don't want you out...
Thunderf00t: The Hopelessness of Atheism (appreciation of life and complexity)
Death isn't a depressing concept if people use it to appreciate the life they have, instead of running to religion in hopes of living forever. An intelligent atheist can appreciate being alive much more than the most devout Christian.
VenomFangX: "Thunderf00t serves death"
"The Bible says.."
No thought required for a Christian....
Accepting death makes a person appreciate life more. If someone believes that they will live forever, they will not be able to truly appreciate how amazing life is. VenomFangX automatically assumes God is real, and that the Bible is the "word" of this being; he provides no evidence to support either of these claims. Atheists do not "serve" death, they appreciate life by being aware of death. Death is one of those things which happens to all of us. Everyone has seen the effects of brain damage on an individual; death is the ultimate form of brain damage in that it is the brain's complete destruction.

Where Did Christian Cat Come From?
Yeah, explain where kitties come from you pin-head atheists!
For those that are slow, this video is satire. The guy in the video (Edward Current) is an atheist. Check out his channel (click me!)

O'Reilly should have payed attention better in science class. Stephen Colbert is not an atheist (as far as I know), but he is proof that not all Christians are science-ignoring morons.

Basil Marceaux IS MY HERO! (must watch video)
Probably the most articulate politician of our generation, he would absolutely crush Obama in a debate. Imagine if we had him running with Sarah Palin? Game f*cking over!
Basil Marceaux (most awesome political candidate ever?)
Wish he would run for governor of New York, then maybe after he fixes the problems here, he can run for President and clean up Obama's mess!
Tom Leykis - Women Like Money, Power and Fame (Scientific Evidence)
I found this to be interesting. It isn't some huge surprise, but it is interesting to see some scientific evidence backing it. It seems that the majority of humans tend to follow their instinctual drives instead of moral principle (i.e. learned morality, cognition that gets in the way of harmful instinctual behavior). Are all people like this? No, but I would say a good majority are.
What do you think? Does this represent everyone? A majority?

Must Watch Video!!! Orthodox Christian Bashes Creationism
I have to agree, creationism did give rise to atheism. Creationists also have no faith; they try to create fake evidence, and faith is not evidence based. Anyone that needs evidence to believe in a god has no faith; i.e. those that try to delude themselves and others into believing their is evidence. If Christianity is to survive, it must start to embrace reality. The rise of atheism has much more to do with religion holding onto medieval world-views than anything else.

Ken Ham vs. Rev. Barry Lynn Over Tax Funded Bible Theme Park (V+D)
Fairytale themed parks? Don't we have enough of those already?
I don't personally have much of an issue with this. But I do believe that a for-profit private business should not be funded or endorsed by the government. If the government was funding a theme-park centered around Islam, people would be up in arms. Such a double-standard. We need an atheist theme park! I guess it would be kind of boring though. People should keep their religion in the church and in private. The government should not be funding non-science claiming to be science, which will only confuse the children, making it harder for them to learn real science later down the road.
Neanderthal Genes Found in Modern Humans
For some weird reason, this stuff makes a lot more sense than the 'Garden of Eden' theory. I wonder if I have Neanderthal DNA in me.
More Famous Atheist Quotes
Some good ones in here, I'm going to try to add the ones I don't have to the 'Famous Atheist Quotes' page.
I'm also thinking of doing an atheist quote of the day thing as well. If you have any atheist quote suggestions, or a quote of your own, put it in the comment section, thanks.
