Atheist Bingo

See this Atheist Bingo Card that by simply listing them, pokes fun at the questions we often receive right off the bat.

Some of these are quite comical and of course, all of them have an answer. Here are some of the more common ones, in my experience:


You can't prove there's no God: More importantly, you can't prove there is one. You can't disprove Zeus, Invisible Pink Unicorns or that the universe didn't begin 5 seconds ago with the appearance of age. Nobody can prove a negative, but that doesn't mean the assertion is therefore verified. Idiot.

You are so closed-minded: Ironically, it's my open mind that got me this far. Not accepting certain blind faith assertions because they aren't convincing is not being closed minded, it's limiting the amount of nonsense you use to make decisions. The ideal amount of nonsense is zero. Being convinced of a certain point of view and remaining so in spite of your poorly reasoned logical slow pitch lobs is not the same as being closed, merely I'm already past your tired point of view and you can't see past it. Moron.

Where do you get your morals?: I get them from the society like you do. We don't have to consciously vote on morality to determine what we will and will not tolerate. Some would say Homosexuality is immoral, but this view is quickly shifting. When it gains popular acceptance on a larger scale, will everyone be wrong in calling it moral? By what testable standard? (hint: the bible doesn't count. Gays have been around a bit longer) Murder, we can agree, is immoral. I wouldn't want to be murdered and I wouldn't want others to be murdered. I support this as a good place to draw the line between good and bad. I don't use the Bible as a basis and i certainly don't claim an unobservable being created them secretly and waited 4.6 billion years to share them with us. We can see that killing is harmful to a peaceful society, so the morals themselves have evolved. In the Old West, you might have been able to kill more often than today. Morals change with the times. No need for God. Turd.

Hitler/Stalin/Pol Pot was an atheist too, you know?: Aside from the fact that Hitler was a Christian, Stalin and Pol Pot were atheists. But they were never committing atrocities in the NAME of atheism. Religions of all kinds have done far worse in the name of their God than anyone has done in the name of Atheism. Being a thing doesn't mean your actions are driven by that thing. Jackass.

There are no atheists in foxholes: Aside from this being demonstrably untrue, do you really think that belief is valid when it's only motivated by mortal fear? Do you hold your own decisions dear when they are made under duress? Surely people seek comfort in hard times and may trade rational thoughts for irrational ones. Does that make these irrational thoughts suddenly true? Of course not. Don't be silly. Nuts!

Nothing but emotional arguments or logical fallacies. It's amazing to me that so many people continue to believe, though I guess I was on the other side once as well.

Do you have any others you'd like to rebut?
