Inability to Provide Valid Responses
There are so many interesting threads on this forum, and as of now I generally will just read over them and not interact with them in any other way. I do so because I lack the evidence to support or refute others on this forum. What I'm really asking for is if any of you who are capable of providing valid statements could direct me to some sources which can allow me to have sufficient evidence to support veganism and/or atheism. Sorry for the trouble, and have a good one comrade!

Re: Inability to Provide Valid Responses
Veganism:
The following documentaries
Earthlings - ethics
The ethics of what we eat by Peter Singer - ethics
Uprooting the leading causes of death by Michael gregger - health
Cowspiracy - environment
The first three are free on YouTube
Atheism:
Books by Dawkins like the God delusion
One article on philosophy I like on the flawed nature of authoritarian morality: http://www.skeptic.ca/Biblical_Ethics.htm
You could see other videos and books by who are referred to as atheism's four horsemen

Re: Inability to Provide Valid Responses
Definitely, watch whatever documentaries you can.
But otherwise, just start responding with your opinions, or the best you can find. People will correct you when you're wrong, or challenge you. You'll end up with your foot in your mouth, but through embarrassment and correction you'll learn.
Trial by fire. Sometimes jumping in and making mistakes is the best (or even only) way to learn.
Everybody is wrong sometimes, even me.
(But to clarify, that is not to say that we could be wrong about everything or anything, just that in practice we make occasional mistakes about certain things [a small subset of empirical data which represents an occasional margin or error] -- when I say something like, for example "logic is true" I could not possibly be wrong about that, for example.)
