Dawkins is crazy!

Dawkins is preaching to the choir. No religious people would listen to him because he is so abrasive, and he tries to shove his opinion down the throat of people who disagree with him. He thinks he is spreading his research, but the way he presents it makes a person hate anything that comes from his mouth.

Dawkins is trying to make people see his point of view. He is trying to “help” people understand that God does not exist. He believes that the absence of scientific proof proves that God cannot exist. His theory will never convert a true believer into a total nonbeliever. Faith is completely based on things you cannot see or prove. True believers are already aware that concrete proof cannot be found to support God’s existence. Dawkins cannot tell a religious person something they already know and expect them to change their mind. If Dawkins really wanted to convert people into atheists he would have to come up with something people did not know yet. He also needs to learn how to present his arguments in a less hostile fashion. His hatred of religion will not attract many people.

I have also been pondering where atheism comes from. If religion is something society cannot escape, as the article suggests, then how can someone be atheist? The article makes an argument towards religion being an individual thought process. Are atheists just born without the thoughts of a higher power, or is science truly enough for them? Science does not answer every question proposed by the universe. Religion tends to answer the questions science seemingly cannot answer. Some religious people attest to miracles, but if there is no higher power and science cannot explain these seemingly “supernatural phenomena,” then how does an atheist explain them?
