Arguments for atheism - Jan Bryxí
Introduction
My life started growing up in an irreligious background. I basically remained an atheist for most of my childhood despite some religious episodes, praying and so on. When deciding what religions are correct and whether there are some spiritual powers, I tried to read as many books as possible and be as objective as I could when selecting arguments. My heart had gone to science, a scientific approach and critical thinking.
I definitely wasn’t trying to underestimate Christianity and other spiritual ways. Can you move objects just by thinking about them? Is there a soul? An afterlife? Does a prayer work? These are questions I think I had found answers for. And they are mentioned in this book. Please try to read this book even if you are standing on the other side of a barricade. Being stranded in a bubble isn’t always right. And yes, I read religious argumentation – theology, philosophical theology and continental philosophy. I even meet with a priest.
Now why is this book out? I was trying to find a people-friendly expanded list of arguments for atheism and I completely failed to do so. So, I have created my own. This book is definitely not exhaustive, and I am definitely wrong about some things and not right about everything (in so many arguments, you must literally be wrong about something). I guess the free will and morality questions will be the most controversial parts. However, this list is intended for someone who doesn’t want to read a long book about atheism.
I have tried to accumulate as many arguments as I could. At some point, I got sick and tired of making this book because you could have made an infinite number of arguments and could improve everything to infinity, so I decided to finish the work and publish it.
This book is intended both for theists (the believers in a personal God) and deists (those believing in an impersonal God).
How difficult it is for a religious person to change his or her thinking
When starting to read this book, you may be completely convinced that God not only exists but all of the Christian teachings are right. You were born and raised a Christian and every aspect of your life is derived from Christianity. You live in the truth, and you barely think something can convince you otherwise.
We have a God-given loving family, morality, free will, and the protective hand of God. You are a living example that prayer works. You are connected to God and only the Devil is trying to take you to the other side. He, therefore, invented disciplines trying to subvert God.
We appreciate the beauty of this world and think that something couldn’t have come from nothing (either in this universe or nature).
These patterns are so deeply seated that it may be impossible to change your thinking even a bit. The emotions attributed to your life may be unchangeable.
This short book can, however, turn your life upside-down (if you let it, of course). It will teach you not only how keep an open mind and think properly (yes, the vast majority of people are biased). But you must give it a try. Please kindly contemplate it at least.
We have cognitive biases, make fallacies, lack critical thinking and mix emotions into the thinking process
Given the fact evolution is true, we are basically plagued with cognitive biases. People are great at convincing themselves (it is much easier than to pretend something in a hunter-gathering community). Logical mistakes are also prevalent and little critical thinking was needed in the African savanna where modern people originate from. If you are not cognitively biased, make no fallacies and possess critical thinking, there is no chance of being a believer (theist or deist) after reading some of these arguments. Even though you were raised in a religious
