PZ Myers | How I became an evil atheist @PZMyersBiology | Uploaded March 2022 | Updated October 2024, 1 week ago.
In case you've ever wondered how to create an atheist, here are two simple techniques:
1. Teach them science, then have a theist say foolish things about the world (St Augustine knew this one.)
2. Try to tell them the universe is ruled by a benevolent god, when anyone can see that if a god did exist, he would be a monster.

I talked about the first at AHA in 2009, you can read about it here.
