This is my 2nd attempt, as my first one was hijacked by a theist troll who ruined it.
Links to help newcomers or anyone better understand the debate rooms and atheists.
As someone who came here with two left feet, I have managed to stick both of them in my mouth and I hope these links will help you avoid that for many reasons.
I consider the following reason the most important
1) You will learn to understand, accept and respect atheists
I have come to appreciate atheists and the reasons why they have become so. This world has given them plenty of reasons and if you listen instead of taking things personally you will take home a lot of knowledge about them and yourself.
In addition, I have understood a common link among science, atheism and theism: None of these have any evidence for a deity.
If you can understand this, you will understand that preaching, scriptural quotes, experiences and feelings are not evidence.
Please send the links that will be the most helpful and try not to repeat links that cover the same thing to avoid a list that may seem overwhelming. Let’s keep it as short as possible and add in the title to the link as well.
Thanks in advance to all the contributors.
I will start with one that came from David Killens
respecting beliefs | why we should do no such thing

I wish I had a good link to add to this list.
But I do recommend everyone google the definitions of: atheist, agnostic and god so we can all be on the same page with those words.

I am having a great learning experience on this site. It's like a free school on insight.

All of these are just as brilliant as the two Cog listed.

What is already posted is excellent. My one link broaches the topic of process and indoctrination...simplified, but not time wasted.

As a more in depth intro into the origins of Christianity this is a good one to go to, the author is a theist but does not gloss over the facts.

There is a series of Youtube video Lectures as well which are well worth watching.
