One: Introduction
Atheism: the absence of belief in a deity or higher being. Primarily described as those without the state of mind to be arrogant, pessimistic, skeptical, narrow-minded, and not to mention, sinful. Truly what is the cause of these attributes, or what they have seemingly become, stereotypes? I am an atheist, an atheist who is indeed arrogant, skeptical, and narrow-minded however in a more ajar sense. When I say ajar, I mean that I am stubborn with my state of mind as an atheist, but take arguments regarding profound belief very seriously, and put genuine consideration into the view of my opposition. This is far more than I can say about the equally arrogant, pessimistic, skeptical, narrow-minded view of theism.
Atheism is either mocked or taken as personally offensive by theists. Personally, I take theism the same way. When I discuss religion I am either mocking it, or am personally hurt by it. The second scenario is the most common. As theists find atheism immoral, appalling, hopeless, and viciously incorrect; the interesting thing is that I, and as I'm sure a lot of other atheists, feel the exact same way towards theism. I have described part of the delusion of theism as "thinking all you believe is universally correct", when a theist will then argue, "that's also your view". This is an interesting point, but here I am going to attempt to prove why it's invalid.
I will divide this into chapters. These chapters will cover major flaws I have found in religion, as within each chapter I will break the flaw down. The primary flaw is that of morality, which will be covered in multiple chapters. This is the view of a theist versus atheist war from the perspective of an argumentive and scientific amateur of a young man simply viewing such a war from his living room window. After all, most of our experiences are based upon spurs of each moment, rather than years of research. This is atheism versus theism, finally after all this time, totally broken down.

So, the full title is Theistic War: An Ongoing Struggle.
I am totally amateur at philosophical writing, as I attempt to pull a total Richard Dawkins and attempt to write out my atheistic argument in a non-fiction novel. I've had a tonne of religious arguments and thoughts of doing anti-theist videos for YouTube, however finally came to the conclusion that writing all this in novel form would be much more efficient.
Yes, I am aware that this is very unprofessionally written, and should I ever attempt to publish this I *will* go through it and pick out the stupid parts, such as describing how the novel will work. However, for now, I'm just venting out to Microsoft Word then posting it on dA.
Other than the obvious professional errors, I look forward to people's opinions!
