ABOUT TAS

Why this site?

There are lots of websites that engage in the exchange of ideas about the existence of God. So why another?

Most websites tend to advance the ideas of the site sponsor rather than engaging with the ideas of those with whom the site sponsor takes exception. TAS begins with statements made by popular atheists of the present and past and then explains why, in light of evidence and reason, they don't make sense.

Some websites are mean-spirited. TAS is not. It is possible to engage in discussion and debate without being rude. If ideas are valid, name-calling isn't required.

Some websites are are too academic and others are too pop-culture oriented. TAS seeks to be engaging, thought provoking, substantive and not boring.
