Demonizing atheists

The term "Atheist" describes a diverse group that includes people from all nationalities & skin colours, it includes capitalists, communists, socialists, fascists & libertarians. It also includes many Buddhists, Hindus, & even many that identify culturally as Jewish, Christian, Catholic & Muslim. I guarantee it includes people you know, even if you don't know they are atheists.

To demonize such a vast group of different people as being immoral is nothing but character assassination & it certainly doesn't prove your religion is right & your god is real.  It's just hateful, bigoted stereotyping.

Judging all atheists by the actions of Stalin's Communist Russia or Pol Pot's fascist regime is akin to judging all theists by the actions of Islamic group ISIS or the Catholic Inquisition. Obviously this is ridiculous since the only connection between all theists is a belief in 1 or more gods & the only connection between all atheists is a disbelief in all gods.

If you are unable to win an argument strictly by arguing for your religion & your god on their own merits, you should learn better arguments; better yet, question the validity of your arguments & whether perhaps you might simply be wrong.

Meme Cards

Anyone that follows me on Twitter (@Atheist_Eh) knows I debate theists a lot.  I found I was often typing essentially the same tweets in response to the same arguments from various theists. I started creating what I refer to as "Meme Cards" to capture these standard responses. Since then I've used it to capture some of my counter-apologetic thoughts. Here's all the Meme Cards I've made to date in no particular order.

Feel free to use them anytime you wish, I just ask you leave the credit in take (no cutting off my name, please).

On a few occasions I have turned other people's tweets into meme cards or worked in collaboration on an idea:
