What does Atheism offer me? Read it all….

Read Time:1 Minute, 23 Second

Atheism offers nothing to me,
it never has and never will,
it doesn’t make me feel good or comfort me,
it’s not there for me when I’m sick or ill,
it won’t intervene in my times of need or protect me from hate,
it doesn’t care if I fail or succeed,
it won’t wipe the tears from my eyes,
it does nothing when I have no where to run,
it won’t give me wise words or advice,
it has no teaches for me to learn,
it can’t show me what’s bad or nice,
it’s never inspired or excited anyone,
it won’t help me fulfill all my goals,
it won’t tell me to stop when I’m having fun,
it’s never saved one single soul,
it doesn’t take credit for everything I achieve,
it won’t make me get down on bended knee,
it doesn’t demand that I have to believe,
it won’t torture me for eternity,
it won’t teach me to hate or despise others,
it won’t tell me what’s right or wrong,
it can’t tell nobody not to be lovers,
it’s told no one they don’t belong,
it won’t make you think life is worth living,
it has nothing to offer me, that’s true,
but the reason Atheism offers me nothing is because I’ve never asked it to,
Atheism offers nothing because it doesn’t need to,
Religion promises everything because you want it to,
You don’t need a Religion or to have faith,
You just want it because you need to feel safe,
I want to feel reality and nothing more,
Atheism offers me everything,
Whereas Religions gave me nothing.

I blame growing up Catholic for my arthritis.

I’m reminded of an exchange between Christopher Hitchens and a theist in a debate. The theist asked what atheism “offers”. The Hitch replied that latching onto a belief because it’s comforting is “baby-ish”.

Theists often use this logical fallacy called “appeal to consequence.” It is a logical fallacy because, of course, whether a fact is “good” for you has no bearing on whether it’s true.

Stimpson,
but Hitchens is a fat guy.If he were Catholic and attended mass regularly he’d be doing a lot of standing and sitting and kneeling, not to mention crossing himself repeatedly.

Now we don’t use dumbbells during services (although I grant you they often are at the lectern)but as long as he didn’t drink the wine and considered the “host” as lunch he’d be in better shape.

Point for our side man.

generally the kneeling things are real well padded now.
