Do you really doubt God is non-existent? If not then why waste your time with this? Unless you have to debate with religious nuts somewhere I really don't know what you are gonna do with all those arguments. The kind of people who "believe" God exists aren't the kind who will listen to ideas that oppose their beliefs anyway, so I don't know who this book was aimed at.

Didn't we have this tread just 2 days ago. Op, just check the archive.

>>16002590
By this reasoning, people would never be convinced out of their religion. The book would be targeted at the minority who are open to a different opinion.

>>16002700
Haha yeah its the unbelievers who are childish and immature, not the ones who could never grow out of their imaginary friend phase. Say hi to your skydaddy from me.

"I wiped the blade against my jeans and walked into the bar. It was mid-afternoon, very hot and still. The bar was deserted. I ordered a whiskey. The barman looked at the blood and asked:

‘God?’

‘Yeah.’

‘S’pose it’s time someone finished that hypocritical little punk, always bragging about his old man’s power…’

He smiled crookedly, insinuatingly, a slight nausea shuddered through me. I replied weakly:

‘It was kind of sick, he didn’t fight back or anything, just kept trying to touch me and shit, like one of those dogs that try to fuck your leg. Something in me snapped, the whingeing had ground me down too low. I really hated that sanctimonious little creep.’

‘So you snuffed him?’

‘Yeah, I’ve killed him, knifed the life out of him, once I started I got frenzied, it was an ecstasy, I never knew I could hate so much.’

I felt very calm, slightly light-headed. The whisky tasted good, vaporizing in my throat. We were silent for a few moments. The barman looked at me levelly, the edge of his eyes twitching slightly with anxiety:

There’ll be trouble though, don’tcha think?’

‘I don’t give a shit, the threats are all used up, I just don’t give a shit.’

‘You know what they say about his old man? Ruthless bastard they say. Cruel…’

‘I just hope I’ve hurt him, if he even exists.’

‘Woulden wanna cross him merself,’ he muttered.

I wanted to say ‘yeah, well that’s where we differ’, but the energy for it wasn’t there. The fan rotated languidly, casting spidery shadows across the room. We sat in silence a little longer. The barman broke first:

‘So God’s dead?’

‘If that’s who he was. That fucking kid lied all the time. I just hope it’s true this time.’

The barman worked at one of his teeth with his tongue, uneasily:

‘It’s kindova big crime though, isn’t it? You know how it is, when one of the cops goes down and everything’s dropped ’til they find the guy who did it. I mean, you’re not just breaking a law, your breaking LAW.’

I scraped my finger along my jeans, and suspended it over the bar, so that a thick clot of blood fell down into my whisky, and dissolved. I smiled:

‘Maybe it’s a big crime,’ I mused vaguely ‘but maybe it’s nothing at all…’ ‘…and we have killed him’ writes Nietzsche, but—destituted of community—I crave a little time with him on my own.

In perfect communion I lick the dagger foamed with God’s blood."

Sounds like you are going to perish without the Grace of God, I hope you enjoy eternal damnation.

He doesn't debunk the strongest arguments for gods, he debunks retarded arguments from retarded religious people. Also don't just read books on atheist thought, I recommend pic related, Kalams cosmological argument is one of the current strongest arguments for the existence of a god, and it's lead to some of the best contemporary discussion on the existence of god. While I believe it isn't true as the idea that a single personal agent created the universe is a non sequitur, it's still interesting and one of the only reasons I don't immediately think of deists as retards.

A supreme entity is real but it isn't the Judeo-Christian god or really any of the retarded divinities invented by the too-smart-for-their-own-good thanatophobic apes here on Earth. God is existence itself. It's the will of things to exist. It's the Universe expanding. When you die your matter will not cease to be. It will simply become mixed into the sea of particles that make up reality.
