this may be a work in progress, please feel free to add to it.
there are a lot of misconceptions about atheist. a lot of intelligent theist have already stated ideas that they have heard before. if you do bring an idea here keep in mind the following;
1. white space is important
2. simplify without compromising your thoughts
3. don't get angry
4. faith requires the lack of proof
5. personal proof is not going to convince anyone, but it welcomed to be shared.
6. don't underestimate your opposition and don't over estimate yourself. if you are unsure, ask questions.
7. atheist do not hate God, they don't believe in Him (and sometimes they are big meanies, but sometimes we can be too). lol
8. love, patience and kindness goes a long way
9. don't believe in God because society told you to, search within yourself for your belief. religion can be flawed... God created man, man created religion. if you are unsure of your faith you can not effectively argue it's case.
May God bless us and give us the words to express our ideas in a creative and civil manner, while providing us an ear that we may truly hear each other, and a voice to clearly project our thoughts.

Hmmm... did you have a bad relationship with an atheist at some point, a romance that turned sour, etc? I'm trying to figure out where you learned to hate this vicious caricature of non-believers.
I kinda cover this in myblog.

you have to take the space out at the end.
I think the scientific community is doing a good job of proving what "God" made the universe from. I certainly do not believe all scientists are liars.
0 x 0 = Atheism. Something from nothing? Ahhh no.
And Karl, religion is not the opiate of the people, opium is. Visit any modern city in the western world and see.
History past and present. Genocide is effortless to atheistic endeavors. Look at the history of the Soviet Union and Abortion clinics and leftist politics in general. Also the lack of logic and reason on so many issues that "freethinkers" speak out on.
If Richard Dawkins and Sam Harris are the best that atheism has yet to evolve as its mouthpiece, they and it have not progressed very far from the days of John Locke.

Answer the question.
I siad nothing about scientists and the like.
You have wax in your ears? You seem to have a hard time answer this little question in a straight forward way.

Care to back it up.
Like all the other things you haven't.
If we did, you would have been banned.
