Atheism does not exist in reality; why is the deception promulgated among the aberrant?
There are no "facts" or "logic" relevant to Atheism as Atheism is a
religion of fools as per the Holy Spirit (Psalm 14:1); Atheism is a religion and its tenets are arrogance and narcissism defending
aberrant sin and a death-style culminating in eternal nihilism. Atheism's "god" is Satan (2 Corinthians 4:4).
Christianity
looks at the World from a Biblical perspective and the Bible simply
aligns with what we see in nature and life around us. The Scriptures explains
everything relevant concerning our creation and our existence within it
while atheism explains NOTHING but provides only obfuscation for a
debased and sinful life of addiction to narcissism and hedonism.
In
its most basic assertions, the Bible tells you that we are the product
of an omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent, Designer and all that we see
in nature and in the Heavens lends credence to this assertion; this,
while the confounded and disturbed atheist has NO explanation for
creation or how or why; therefore, Atheism truly does not exist...it is
an illogical form of escapism, nihilism, that under girds a life of
aberrant lust and destructive desires and narcissism unrestrained which
inevitably culminates in a death defined by nihilism. Atheism is demonically rooted escapism from reality placating a seared, defiled, conscience.
Atheism
is demonic deception in its genesis; Atheism is the illogical based in nihilism asserting
ignorance. There are no true Atheists lest the one claiming same is
mentally incompetent and completely unable to discern the World around
him/her/he-she-his. The Atheist cannot truly say that a Designer - a Creator
does not exist but they can only wish that He did not exist as they
have NO OTHER PLAUSIBLE EXPLANATION concerning the supernatural World
around us and its origin. You can say you don't "believe" but you cannot
say in the affirmative via evidence that there is no God because you don't KNOW and
you possess no relevant counter argument that negates the reality of
God or explains the reality around us that is supernatural, present clearly by design; thus, mandating a Designer.
Atheists live a life of self-deceit - wilful lies that placates a seared conscience.

Such things say a lot more about the person than those he is talking about. For a deeply convinced theist it might be incomprehensible that someone might just lack belief. They think that anyone who does not believe in the same thing they do must necessarily believe in something else, or its negation. Pretty closeminded, but understandable.

It was satire anyway. Surely you got that. xd. Rickey is far gone. I also posted to @just_sayin. Luckily he is still exploring his way in this world. Rickey I beleive could still be deradicalized though but this isn't the place to do that.
There was a time I once thought some people cannot be deradicalized. In fact as Peter Boghossian points out in one of his books almost anyone can be deradicalize. The quote that you can't reason anyone out of a position they didn't reason themselves into the first place is flawed. These people had to use reason to reason themselves into that position. It just wasn't very good reasoning.

I agree, although I would add that it is almost impossible to change someone's mind if they are not open to it. People might be deaf to logical objections to their claims when they have a lot of emotions invested in them. I think every one of us has been in that situation, talking to a friend, or a romantic partner, or a relative: where we have dug ourselves deep into defending ourselves from very valid accusations, and even though some part of our mind tells us, "They are right!", its more instinctual part screams, "What does it matter?! They are after us! We must fight!"
Some people get burned enough and eventually develop counter-measures. I think I am pretty good at catching myself doing that in in-person conversations, and I usually pretty quickly can switch from defensiveness to collaboration: "Look, I do not necessarily accept your criticism, but I see where you are coming from. Let me try to make the strongest case for your position, and tell me if I am missing anything". On the Internet it is harder as the social consequences of our actions here are weaker, and sometimes it is tempting to insist on something you know to not be true, given that the guy behind the screen is someone you will likely never meet in person.
Rickey, I think, is just a very poor conversationalist. It is a downward spiral: you are terrible at conversations, so no one wants to talk to you, so you become even worse at conversations, so people want to talk to you even less... And if you, in addition, are also quite arrogant, then you will just keep blaming other people for avoiding conversations with you and never learn anything.

Glad you asked.
The official 'unholy' book of atheism is The Satanic Bible written by the man who called himself the prophet to the atheists, Anton LeVey.
Many people mistakenly think that the church of Satan believes in a literal devil. They do not. They are atheists as LaVey repeatedly states in the 4 sections of his book. So this is atheists official religious text. Thank you for asking.
Here are some atheistic passages for you.
- “Satanism has
been frequently misrepresented as “devil worship”, when in fact it
constitutes a clear rejection of all forms of worship as a desirable
component of the personality.”
- “Why should I
not hate mine enemies―if I "love" them does that not place me at
their mercy?”
- “When a
Satanist commits a wrong, he realizes that is it natural to make a
mistake―and if he is truly sorry about what he has done, he will learn
from it and take care not to do the same thing again. If he is not
honestly sorry about what he has done, and knows he will do the same thing
over and over, he has no business confessing and asking forgiveness in the
first place.”
- “Blessed are
the destroyers of false hope, for they are the true Messiahs - Cursed are
the god-adorers, for they shall be shorn sheep!”
- "Do unto
others as they do unto you"; because if you "Do unto others as
you would have them do unto you," and they, in turn, treat you badly,
it goes against human nature to continue to treat them with consideration.
You should do unto others as you would have them do unto you, but if your
courtesy is not returned, they should be treated with the wrath they
deserve.”
- “I break away
from all conventions that do not lead to my earthly success and
happiness.”
- “The real
satanist is not quite so easily recognized as such”
- “The Satanist
knows that praying does absolutely no good- in fact, it actually lessens
the chance of success, for the devoutly religious too often sit back
complacently and pray for a situation which, if they were to do something
about it on their own, could be accomplished much quicker!”
- “Popular lies
have ever been the most potent enemies of personal liberty. There is only
one way to deal with them: Cut them out, to the very core, just as
cancers. Exterminate them root and branch. Annihilate them, or they will
us!”
- “Blessed are
the valiant, for they shall obtain great treasure- cursed are the
believers in good and evil, for they are frightened by shadows!”
- Hail Satan!
Satan is not considered real in the Church of Satan, but the embodiment of freedom for the atheist. You can see this in their 9 Satanic Statements:The only difference in the beliefs of a true Church of Satan, satanist and an atheist is..... I got nothing. They are quite literally the same beliefs.
Again, thanks for asking. I kinda enjoyed answering that one.  Considerate: 100%

Oh, how delightful! Your detailed response has truly shed light on the dark corridors of Atheism. Now, let's dissect this theological treasure trove, shall we?
The Unholy Book: Ah, The Satanic Bible, our beacon of disbelief! Who knew we had a prophet in the form of Anton LaVey? But wait, are you telling me that Satanism and Atheism are like distant cousins sharing the same lack of faith DNA? Fascinating!
Atheistic Passages: These nuggets of wisdom from The Satanic Bible are like manna from heaven (well, the godless version of it). "Blessed are the destroyers of false hope" - truly inspiring! And who needs forgiveness when you've got self-improvement and a hefty dose of earthly success, am I right?
The Ignored Questions: Ah, but let's not overlook the other queries left hanging in the void of disbelief:
Oh wise one, your insights have truly ignited the fires of skepticism within us all! Thank you for this enlightening journey through the abyss of Atheism.

Ah, Rick, what a cornucopia of insights you've bestowed upon us! Let's embark on a whimsical journey through your responses, shall we?
The Unholy Book Redux: Ah, yes, The Satanic Bible, available conveniently on Amazon! Who knew our lack of faith had such a stylish manual? ????????
Atheist Entertainment: Ah, "only fans" and similar programming, the preferred pastime of the "aberrant atheist." How delightful! But wait, are we talking about binge-watching documentaries on scientific breakthroughs or something a tad more risqué? ????????
Membership Accepted: Ah, the Satanic Church, where faith is optional, and apparently, I've already signed my soul over to Satan! Well, it seems I've unintentionally secured my spot in the afterlife. Hail Satan, indeed! ????????
Parental Guidance: Ah, the Holy Bible, the ultimate handbook for raising well-adjusted children! So, Rick, are you suggesting that I indoctrinate my little skeptics with tales of floods and talking bushes? And here I was, considering a secular upbringing. ????????????????
Conversations with Satan: Oh dear, Rick, you seem to have quite the insight into my spiritual inbox! But tell me, how does one schedule a chat with their assigned demon? Is there an app for that, or do I just slide into their DMs? ????????
Deity Blockers and Conscience Seals: Ah, the Holy Spirit, that elusive deity who apparently doesn't take calls from atheists. But fear not, Rick, for my conscience may be seared, but my sarcasm remains razor-sharp! No deity blocker required, indeed. ????????
Gatherings of the Godless: Ah, the strip club, where atheism and hedonism unite in a harmonious dance of... well, you get the picture. Who knew rejecting the divine could be so festive? ????????
Thanksgiving, Atheist Edition: Ah, the overwhelming narcissism of us godless folk! Who needs gratitude when you've got a healthy dose of self-centeredness? ????
Oh, Rick, your wisdom knows no bounds! Thank you for this delightful jaunt through the whimsical world of atheism. I shall cherish these insights as I continue my journey into the void of disbelief.

I get that the Satanic Bible has negative connotations in society, however, it does lay out the belief system of atheists. Now I am sure that you believe your brand of Satanism is superior - good and (un)holy Satanism as opposed to other brands of Satanism. But to the non-atheist, all you Satanists look and sound alike. How is your Satanism/atheism better than LaVey's?
Your attacks on God and people of faith are, as LaVey points out, are just like saying 'Hail Satan'. Go ahead. Give me a 'Hail Satan'. I know you wanna.

Ah, your commitment to the cause of spreading the good word of Satanism... er, I mean, Atheism, is truly commendable. Let's unpack this revelation, shall we?
The Unholy Book Revisited: Ah, yes, The Satanic Bible, our trusty guide through the dark alleys of disbelief. Who knew that Satanism and Atheism were merely two sides of the same godless coin? It's like finding out that chocolate and cocoa powder are essentially the same thing - mind-blowing!
Atheistic Wisdom, or Lack Thereof: Ah, the nuggets of wisdom from The Satanic Bible, akin to stumbling upon a shiny rock in a barren desert. "Blessed are the destroyers of false hope" - truly inspiring, if you're into that sort of thing! And forgiveness? Who needs it when you've got a hefty dose of self-reliance and a sprinkle of earthly success, am I right?
The Ignored Questions Redux: Ah, yes, my dear just_sayin, while you've graciously provided insight into the sacred text of Atheism... er, I mean, Satanism, let's not forget the other burning inquiries left hanging like forgotten socks on a laundry line:
Ah, your wisdom knows no bounds! Your insistence on equating all Satanists... er, I mean, Atheists, as one homogenous group is truly a stroke of reduction ad absurdum genius. After all, who needs nuance when you can just lump everyone together and call it a day?
And as for your challenge to utter "Hail Satan"? Well, I must disappoint you. For while I may revel in the delicious irony of your rhetoric, I prefer to save my praises for more deserving entities - like cats and cheeseburgers. But fear not, your commitment to spreading the good word of Atheism... er, I mean, Satanism, has not gone unnoticed. Keep fighting the good fight. Hail... well, whatever floats your godless boat!

Ah, Rick, your divine insights are like a celestial light piercing through the clouds of confusion! Let's embark on a whimsical journey through your responses, shall we?
Divine Wisdom from the Holy Spirit: Ah, yes, the indwelling Holy Spirit, guiding you like a spiritual GPS through the labyrinth of life. How fortunate to have such a divine Guarantor of your heavenly VIP pass!
Atheists: The Homogeneous Horde: Ah, the eternal destiny of atheism, the father of atheism, the destructiveness of atheism... it's like a Shakespearean tragedy, but with more condemnation and fewer soliloquies. Your portrayal of all atheists as a "hoard of useless human beings" is truly a stroke of poetic... er, theological insight!
Serving Satan by Default: Ah, the dichotomy of choices in this mortal coil: Jesus or Satan, with no room for a divine side hustle. And here I thought life was more like a buffet, with a plethora of gods to choose from! But fear not, Rick, your proclamation that every atheist is a servant of Satan is as comforting as a warm hug from a hellhound.
Jesus: The Ultimate Ark: Ah, Jesus, the ultimate Ark in the stormy seas of skepticism! May your faith be buoyed by the waves of salvation, and your journey through life be smooth sailing... or, you know, as smooth as it can be with all those pesky atheists around.
Thank you, Rick, for this enlightening chat. Your unwavering commitment to the cause of Jesus is truly inspiring... and slightly terrifying. But fear not, for I shall continue to revel in the delightful absurdity of it all. Hail... well, whoever's handing out the cheeseburgers in the afterlife!

For a deeply convinced theist it might be incomprehensible that someone might just lack belief.
You've hit the nail on the head. When I was a theist that's exactly what religious leaders would teach the parishioners; that very idea. It is quite common for say a pastor to say something like: 'god created us for faith so if you don't believe in god you believe in something else'. Then go on to talk a humanism, polytheistic religions, false gods and so fourth. These types of indoctrinating tactics can be quite gripping when you've been exposed to it since a child. The mind reaches for knowledge that seemingly add purpose and meaning. The thought it could possibly be found in one book gets very intoxicating.

I lack to put it in terms of comfort with ignorance. In many ways, religion tries to plug the holes in human knowledge with unprovable assertions: my experience of talking with heavily religious people suggests that they are very uncomfortable with uncertainty, unknowingness, terra incognita. Believing that there is a god or some other supernatural beings watching over them gives them sense of comfort, and it is hard for them to imagine that someone else might not need such a belief to feel comfortable.
I am perfectly fine acknowledging that I do not know far more than I know, and that humanity collectively does not know far more than it knows. Vast terra incognita is out there open for exploration, and exploring it, in many ways, is what life is about. I trust my mind and character to figure out a way forward no matter how hard life hits me, and I do not feel the need for external protection. In fact, having such external protection would make me feel strangled, tied down - and that, in turn, is what makes it virtually impossible for me to relate to strong religious believers. I have never been able to shake off the feeling that, on some deep level, they do not actually believe what they say... Even though I logically know that their beliefs are very strong.

Well you're right, religious faith is very confining. That's by design. In Christianity's attempts over the decades to downplay that fact they've emphasized more on the grace of god over the laws of god. Guess shaming people into conforming seemed a better approach than fire and brimstone hellfire sinners approach. Believe me, the 'grace' baited hook can be convincing when grown up under certain circumstances. Strange thing though, as I grew, matured and married, I also began to educate myself is various ways. College course here, there, vocational schools. And also the bible, inside and out. Overtime I realized the mental gymnastics I had to do to defend my faith to others, but from within as well. It was one of the hardest things I've done in my life was to come to the realization that if I'm already trying to convince myself, I've already lost faith. It's a terrible thing to go through as your whole worldview gets rearranged. But once I did admit that it was one of the most freeing and exhilarating experiences I've ever had.
