Believers have any number of ridiculous justifications for their beliefs. We non-theists and anti-theists (like myself) like to collect them and at times ridicule them when necessary.

Frankly, there are no reasonable arguments for God's existence. All arguments are usually pointed in one direction - ignorance. And when I mean ignorance, formally I am referring to an argument from ignorance.

Looks like we can add another dumb argument, this time uttered by an ignorant. In his new book, the douche-bag talking head of Fox News, Bill O'Reilly states:

Next time you meet an atheist, tell him or her that you know a bold, fresh guy, a barbarian who was raised in a working-class home and retains the lessons he learned there.

Then mention to that atheist that this guy is now watched and listened to, on a daily basis, by millions of people all over the world and, to boot, sells millions of books.

Then, while the non-believer is digesting all that, ask him or her if they still don't believe there's a God!

I guess we shouldn't be shocked that while he's masturbating this great self-platitude to himself as evidence for a God that O'Reilly created in his own self image, I have to ask why would this argument be convincing to anyone else?

The answer, of course, is simple. If you are someone who already believes in an interventionist, personal God, then you'll find this piece of logic by O'Reilly sound.

However, where is this same God when the child or the grandmother is drowning in the flood waters of the Tsunami or Katrina respectively? Surely, if God can make O'Reilly a "bold piece of humanity," why can not God be there when we could really use help? Seemingly, God has reasons to do good things, but when things get bad, God's reaction is to stick his thumb up his bum and idle by instead. God could do something bold for humanity such as attesting to his existence and simply save a drowning child from the waters, yet, this is something he can not, does not, or will not do.

Invariably, this answer from the theist is a special plead that devalues human life. We are told without doubt that God does only good things. Following the logic, God must feel it is a good thing that a child or an elderly person drowns.

That's a sick and twisted notion of good.

Right-wing centrist hate is just too much to stomach sometimes. We simply can not criticize President Bush when we are in a time of war – a long war against terrorism that will never end. Do you people not understand that it is our blind and uncritical love of George Bush that keeps our women and daughters safe from Muslim enslavement?

As many in the right wing have stated over and over again, that any and all criticism of the President weakens him. It is our patriotic duty to look the other way when our President fails – even when he fails to deliver on his own legacy.

Bill O'Reilly on that Bush legacy:

"He’s done. He’s through. … He will now go down in history…as an ineffectual leader. And I’ll tell you the reason why, it’s poor leadership on his part. The people that he picked to run certain things have been disastrous. And no leadership and now Americans are getting hurt" (The Radio Factor: 09.18.2008)

If you believed that Bill was correct when he stated about Air America Radio that "..all those clowns at the liberal radio network, we could incarcerate them immediately. Will you have that done, please? Send over the FBI and just put them in chains, because they, you know, they're undermining everything and they don't care." (The Radio Factor: 06.20.2005)

Anti-Americanism can not stand. 

Action must be taken.
