Coal waste is actually more radioactive than nuclear waste, so this argument is null.

With all due respect, this is a completely unsupported argument. You're arguing against it because it's "frightening" and then admit that you "don't know much about it" and that it "seems" a certain way.

Nuclear power is actually safer than coal plants. Coal plants kill in total 100,000 people per year. Nuclear plants kill 0 people per year, occasionally with a 4000 people per year spike, which is still miniscule compared to the amount of people that coal plants kill.

Sorry, accidentally put the other one in the wrong category.

My opinion:

Nuclear power is indeed better than coal power. In addition to being over 10 million times more powerful, being better for the environment and more cost efficient, nuclear power is; here's the catch; actually safer/healthier than coal power.

Coal power, according to some estimates, causes up to 100,000 deaths per year.

The most major nuclear reaction in history caused about 4000 deaths.

Coal waste is also 100 times more radioactive (albeit less concentrated, but nuclear waste is shielded) and thousands of times more abundant than nuclear waste.

Most of the media is simply too shallow and lacks enough substance to have a positive influence on political knowledge.

I'm the OP of the thread, and as I stated in the OP:

This debate isn't on whether or not atheists are right, it's on whether or not atheism is "close minded" and "egotistical".

When you think about it, to claim that atheism is close minded and egotistical is extremely hypocritical if you're of a Christian or similar faith:

Christian beliefs:

According to Christians, Morals are absolute; their morals are right and INFALLIBLE

According to Christians,God is PERFECT in EVERY POSSIBLE WAY

According to Christians, Anybody who disagrees with these PERFECT ideals and worships this PERFECT being is going to hell!!!!

No offense meant.
