Are there arguments supporting atheism which do not apply with equal force against mono/poly/pan theism? If there are I would like to learn of them. A strong form of atheism is exhibited in the work of J. Lacan. His approach does apply across the board to any theism. I happen not to be convinced by these arguments but I have not seen anything more compelling. I bring this up because atheism and various forms of theism (including thoroughgoing pantheism i.e. anima) seem to me to be opposed in every sense except in a shared experience of persecution. *** REPLACE THIS LINE WITH YOUR MESSAGE ***
