The Rational Response Squad is a group of atheist activists who impact society by changing the way we view god belief. This site is a haven for those who are pushing back against the norm, and a place for believers of gods to have their beliefs exposed as false should they want to try their hand at confronting us.

RRS: How can you handle doing this all the time...constantly refuting the same arguments?

I've only been here for a short time and I've noticed that theists have a very limited repertoire:

1. Oh yeah? PROVE God doesn't exist!
2. Evolution is just a THEORY
3. Air is invisible. So is God. So doesn't that mean God could exist?
4. Life is too complex to have evolved by chance.

Yada...yada...yada...

Not only is it tedious, it's exhausting. All their points are either naked assertions or based on fallacious reasoning. Even I, lacking as I am in training in logic, can easily refute these bullshit claims. I got sick of doing it on another forum.

Luckily, I have come across a few new arguments here and learned a little bit, but sheesh! Your average theist is appallingly under-educated. Sad Sad Sad

On edit: BRAIN FART!!!! Logistics is not equal to logic. Sigh. Smiling

Books on atheism, purchases on Amazon support the Rational Response Squad server.

Once you've heard all the arguments, the challenge is then to make the rebuttal arguments more efficient and convincing than ever.
Once you're able to convert them in just 3 posts you're ready to publish them in a book and reach theists everywhere! Eye-wink
