Why the “I Just Believe in One Less God than You” Argument Does not Work | Parchment and Pen

In another gem of a tweet from Brian Auten I found the following link to an article by
“I contend we are both atheists, I just believe in one less god than you do. When you understand why you dismiss all the other possible gods, you will understand why I dismiss yours.” —Stephen F Roberts

Funny thing is I've heard this same argument multiple times from atheists who comment on John Lofus' blog Debunking Christianity. I've posted links to the answer for this objection in several posts on this blog from several people. I like this particular treatment also.

Even tweets from Brian Auten are helpful. He tweeted the following link to a short essay from Michael Licona. I love Licona's work and this insightful piece comes as no surprise considering scholarship like his.

Fighting Colonialism At Home

Colonialism
is the establishment, maintenance, acquisition and expansion of colonies in one territory by people from another territory. Colonialism is a process whereby sovereignty over the colony is claimed by the metropole and the social structure, government, and economics of the colony are changed by colonists - people from the metropole. Colonialism is a set of unequal relationships: between the metropole and the colony, and between the colonists and the indigenous population.
