Atheism is Indeed A Civil Rights Issue

But my point is not that there is a dessert; rather that there is no correct default assumption that you can make.

You can reason about it. That is what makes the analogy different. I feel that we can logically reason that many religious points are false as we have already done. It also falls down to trust. The bible is like the "Boy who cried wolf." Making faulty scientific assumptions in respect to well backed concurrent theorys (i.e. Sun orbits the earth vs. Copernicus' theory, Creationism vs. Darwinism). How can I believe there is an afterlife now or other key points of religion? Just because someone told me to believe it?

To reasoning about these points I have to admit I can't think up a super credible argument. I am merely 16 and haven't really accomplished much on this subject. My argument is weak I have to admit, but I still think it will stand better than any religious theory.

I have to start with the idea of a soul I guess. Now I am not big into theology, but essentially the soul is what ascends to heaven/hell or whatever you believe in. I see our "soul" merely as our complex bodys. The electrical pulses that control our whole bodys. That is how we feel and think is through our nervous system. Not a soul. The nervous system dies with the body, plain and simple. So what is not to say we just die? Seems completely logical to me. We have just seemed to over glorify ourselves due to our possible luck with these organic compunds we are made of.
