Atheism for Dummies.

I was in the bookstore and they had sale on all "for Dummies" books. There is "Islam for Dummies", "Christianity for Dummies" and "World Religions for Dummies" and "The Complete Idiots Guide to End Times". Why no "Atheism for Dummies" book yet? What about "The Complete Idiots Guide to Freethinking"?

Could you come up with a title chapter and outline for a chapter of these book? Here's my idea for one chapter.

The Complete Idiots Guide to Freethinking

Chapter 1: So you're a Complete Idiot.

Freethinking is not for you. Find a religion to tell you what to "believe". Just make sure their version of Hell is really scary, so you'll "believe" really well.

 

 

Taxation is the price we pay for failing to build a civilized society. The higher the tax level, the greater the failure. A centrally planned totalitarian state represents a complete defeat for the civilized world, while a totally voluntary society represents its ultimate success. --Mark Skousen

It's kinda funny that

It's kinda funny that they're implying all religious people are dummies. Are you sure you want a atheist dummy book?I'll try think of something anyway..

The Complete Idiots Guide to Freethinking

So you want to be an atheist? Well here's what atheism isn't.

Satanism

A religion

Does not require faith

Is not intellectual suicide(if you believe anything else Comfort says,put this book down and seek mental help)

 

 

Psalm 14:1 "the fool hath said in his heart there is a God"-From a 1763 misprinted edition of the bible

Argument from Sadism: Theist presents argument in a wall of text with no punctuation and wrong spelling. Atheist cannot read and is forced to concede.

Not going to help you

Not going to help you develop this book at all, but a funny thing Brian and I saw at the supermarket the other day...

Idiot's Prayer

 

As if there's any other kind of prayer!

Ha ha.  Every time I see

Ha ha. 

Every time I see the "Religion for Dummies" book at the bookstore, I want to write "is" between "Religion" and "for".

Can you imagine the chaos

Can you imagine the chaos that would ensue if prayer really worked? It would resemble the effects of the Krell Machine from The Forbidden Planet. God would have to answer prayers from the Id and unleash destructive forces on our planet.

I love the idea of writing

I love the idea of writing in "is" before the word "for" in "Religion for dummies" or "Christianity for dummies."
