Is it even possible? Or are they going to basically cover their ears and go, "Lalalalalalalalala! I CAN'T HEAR YOU!" until we go away and stop challenging their worldview? Because I don't think there is ANYTHING that'll get a believer to stop believing; they're engaged in wish-fulfillment, not reality-examination. Music by Kevin MacLeod: http://incompetech.com/m/c/royalty-free/index.html Used with permission I am an atheist I don't believe in god That anybody COULD Is something I find quite odd The evidence just ain't there There isn't any proof If there really IS a god Then the fucker stands aloof But I'm not inflexible I can be made to believe Just remove faith as a factor And my belief you'll achieve Not saying I'd FOLLOW God could still be an ass But at least I'd no longer doubt Even if I'm not attending mass So now it's YOUR turn You god-bothering believers How can we wake you From your delusional fevers? Can it be done? Can your belief be negated? Or are you dogmatic? Can it not be debated? Can you be shown That your god is a fake? How do we do it? What would it take? How do we show you? Can you concede That your faith and reality Just don't agree? Or are you the type Who'll beleive no matter what? SOmeone to whom facts Are just pulled out of one's butt? I ask because it seems That no matter what atheists say Our words have no effect And we cannot manage to sway You believers from your faith Even with the facts on our side Which leaves us little more Than to ridicule and deride Your position, your beliefs Which are little more than dreams At least from this position That's how it seems Cuz you've gone and placed yourselves Up in ivory towers Where facts and reality Have no persuasive powers You WANT to believe in god Regardless of the facts Which leads you to perform Intellectually dishonest acts Like continuing belief And being dogmatic And refusing to think Instead running on automatic
