Why Atheism is wrong

to you. The struggle to throw off this servility is the precondition for liberty, whether personal, intellectual, or moral [emphasis mine].

He's absolutely right. How frightening to think about a world with a grand divine design; it might be that there is actually a real purpose to our existence. How unnerving to think of a world with divine supervision and authority; after all, that would mean we might actually be held accountable for what we did with our lives. That would not be very much fun would it? I mean it almost sounds as if the way we would have to conduct ourselves is.is.. like responsible adults! (Gasp!)

I'm sure there are readers who thought I was indulging in hyperbole or literary license when I said that atheists are crazy. I want to make it clear that I meant it exactly the way I wrote it in the first chapter. Did anyone notice which government Hitchens describes as the epitome of authoritarian repression? North Korea, an officially atheistic regime. Mazel Tov! Now I understand the moral necessity of atheism. In truth though, I'm really not being fair. The reason why the government of North Korea is so murderously repressive is because they only speak Korean. If they spoke English, they could see Hitchens' lecture on You Tube like I did and they would finally find out that the struggle to throw off this servility [of a grand divine design] is the precondition for liberty, whether personal, intellectual, or moral!

Hitchens can jabber on about personal liberty 'till the cows come home, but he and other atheists will never admit the obvious truth; that throwing off the yoke of divine authority simply means that I am free to do whatever the hell I please (as long as I can get away with it of course). The world of the atheist is the world that exists in the novel The Lord of the Flies; a group of wild children who ultimately are responsible to no one, and accountable to no one but themselves. The Talmudic phrase in Aramaic which is used to describe this very old ideology is Leis Din, V'leis Dayan -"There is No Judgment, and there is No Judge". The only inescapable, inviolable and relentless rule of existence is that ol' black magic called survival of the fittest.

The True Face of Atheism

The true face of Atheism shines through in all its amoral glory in the following statements by a number of well known atheists:

With savages, the weak in body and mind are soon eliminated; and those that survive commonly exhibit a vigorous
