We aren't a subreddit to debate religion per se.
If you have a query, someone may humour you but don't expect others to have the inclination to debunk Whatsapp University level arguments. We already have to put up with those in real life.
If you really want to debate, do yourself and the rest of humanity a favour by taking the first step towards critical thinking. Go through these extensive lists of cognitive biases and fallacies:
Critical thinking is a skill and you will get better at it with practice.
Check the new tab. If you cannot see your post, message the mods.

They spun that dead are not dead at all so that next time also hordes of bhakts can come and die.
I think these guys completely devalue most precious thing(one and the only life) on earth.
Ik people will now start to question me, but why, just why? You eat whatever you want, why make a video on an innocent vegan activist, who just wants to save animals? Like what do you get out of it?
I’m leaving Reddit tomorrow. Already left Instagram 10 months ago, and life has been so much more peaceful without that mess. Now, it’s time to let go of Reddit too. The endless religious chaos: superstition influencing daily life, blind faith shaping society, people forcing beliefs on others, meaningless rituals over logic, and never-ending debates that lead nowhere - has drained me. I’m fed up.
This is my last 24 hours here. I just want peace. I want to step away from all the noise and live in my own calm world. Wishing the best to those who stay, but for me, it’s time to move on.
Just curious why you guys become atheist as they are many reasons.
My reason is 2,3.Main reason 2
Yesterday read that Salwan Momika was shot dead. He used to burn quran. His hobby I think. He was not ex muslim but Christian turned Atheist.
I used to argue with family and friends after becoming Atheist. Some took offense but majority just don't care. It used to give a feeling of gotcha moment. I used to get uncomfortable looks or uh ok looks. Even simanchalam priest didn't gave any importance when I waited outside the temple Waiting for my mother to return. I told him I don't believe in your God, what is that but stone. He just told faith makes God from Stone. Gave me prasadam to eat as sweet. It was more than a decade ago.
I believe in india we have this type of reaction when we left the faith we born into - Hinduism. Then I compared it to Muslim people and feel they are actually going through a lot. Their religion wants them dead in case they leave it. I know some ex muslim atheists who are still closeted doing namaz etc. one of my friend told he wants to go and p!$$ on the grave of Mo. That much is his anger.
Now in changed scenario, I want to 🙏request to all my atheist friends not to argue with religious fanatics. It's better to stay safe. Staying alive so that we can fight the battle tomorrow.
Nowdays All parties are supporting a particular religion. BJP Hindu, Congress Muslim ,AAP Sikh Hindu. As an atheist I want to vote for a atheist party or someone that think for the welfare of citizens not a community. Are there any party left like this in the country?
What do you think of Srinivas Ramanujan and his "divine experiences"?
Being an Atheist in India means nothing if you are not against the systematic oppression of caste, blind faith and superstition.
Such powerful writers and orators have been silenced by the state and it's criminals.
Today a guiding light for rationalism and atheism ia denied justice when his killers were given bail.
Yet there is no outrage amongst the rationalists or atheists of India.
This is the tragic future, present and past.
