Dat To An Atheist Personal Philosophy “Why are you an atheistic?” That is the question I keep receiving when I tell people that I am an atheist, a person who believes in certainty that there is no god or gods. I usually give a logical, rational, and well-thought answer to them. However, it often is time consuming, wasting effort, and even hopeless sometimes.

H J McCloskey article On Being an Atheist discusses the question of, if God is really real and if in fact there truly is a God do we have any proof to show this. McCloskey does his best to argue of God’s presence by using Theistic viewpoints such as cosmological proof, teleological proof and the argument from design. We can see from his thoughts that many of them could be recognized as truth, but none of them however are verified. McCloskey states that “most Theists do not come to believe in God…
and deeply embedded in the system of his philosophy. Both the content and the insufficiently clear manner of this essay cause a set of serious argument that is called the ‘Atheism Dispute’, which in consequence cased a disrepute on Fichte himself and finally the dismissing of him from his position in Jena University. The ‘Atheism Dispute’ is not the arena we step into in this essay. However, after examine…
human needs are more important than supernatural needs. After a small time of research, humanism should be considered a philosophy. Humanism cannot be a religion, because every religion has a god.

In contrast, China, which has an atheistic government,…
Préciso of The Problem of Evil In Rowe’s work, The Problem of Evil and Some Varieties of Atheism, he discusses three interrelated questions which are the following: 1) Is there an argument for atheism based on the existence of evil that may rationally justify someone in being an atheist? 2) How can the theist best defend his position against the argument for atheism based on the existence of evil? 3) What position should the informed atheist take concerning the rationality of theistic belief?…
