The only atheist argument is that all the arguments for God we've heard contain fallacies or rest on unsound premises, and it doesn't seem possible to argue things into existence anyway.
The author might want to ask Penrose how he determined what the range of values for the constants of universes are when we only have one universe as a sample and we don't know if the constants can be different from what they are. The answer is he made them up, because it's a thought experiment. If his assumptions are correct, it's highly unlikely the universe would be the way it is...but his assumptions are based on nothing and can't be used to prove anything except the tautology that if his assumptions are correct, his conclusions are correct, and if not, not. Physicists like the multiverse theory because it's what the evidence and math suggest, it wasn't something they made up to avoid the fine-tuning argument. If there is a multiverse, the universes could all be highly similar for all we know.
Agree, but I don't think churches have to be worried about being forced to perform marriages for gay couples. First Amendment covers it.
And you wish white, Christian, American men could hate as freely as they used to?
At least in the Third World.
"I cannot forbid a person to marry several wives, for it does not contradict Scripture." Martin Luther
There are even some that don't agree that not agreeing with them means you're not a true Christian.
You can get an Article 15 for not doing a good enough job mowing a lawn. It's not a big deal.

Equivocation is what Christianists do to make it sound like requiring the government not to endorse their religion is the same thing as requiring it to be out from public view. It can be in public view all day long as long as the government isn't sponsoring it or appearing to endorse it. It's a weak faith that can't survive without active government approval.

How does not hearing the word 'God' in a military-sponsored video keep you from worshiping. Is that part of your religion, that the government must endorse it in order to maintain your faith?

I thought Christians are told to use government institutions and authority to promote their religion...that's the impression I get from Chistian posters around here.
