As a REAL atheist, I’d like to take the opportunity to tell you to sit down and shut up. You’re embarrassing us.
To everyone else: I offer an apology. Real atheism isn’t about angsty childish complaints and smug insults. Nor is it about becoming the very thing you claim to hate- a judgmental arrogant asshole.
Actual atheism is simply the decision to not believe in any deities. Live and let live.
Honestly the r/atheism type angry mocking atheists sure seem to have an axe to grind with someone they say doesn't exist.
Like, most people aren't going into religion with ill intentions, and god doesn't exist, who you mad at bro?
Not mad at anyone. Just thought I’d offer up an explanation to those that think all atheists are angsty teenagers that do nothing outside of spewing contempt and insults at people. You see, I don’t like it when people go out of their way to make my personal beliefs and choices look bad.
I think everyone should be doing this instead of remaining silent and allowing the minority of a thing to dictate its public perception.
Like how I believe that the majority of Christians are good people. They just don’t stand up against the ones that aren’t.
Oh no I was talking about the other commenter not you. I was agreeing with you.
Fair enough. My apologies, I misunderstood.
Hahaha this is the best example I've seen of the "no true Scotsman" in my life. I never claimed to be (what you consider to be) a real atheist. Matter of fact, I didn't mention atheism at all.
Even your statement is full of contradictions. "Live and let live" unless you're this guy spreading facts, then sit down and shut up.
And "atheism is simply the decision to not believe in any deities" unless you're this guy spreading facts, then you're "not a real atheist".
You're a walking logical fallacy my dude.
You got confused. You're an anti-theist as in against theism. Atheism simply means without theism. Anyways happy I could clear that up for you. Try to be nicer in the future.
You got confused. Atheist and anti-theist are not mutually exclusive positions.
According to your own statement, an anti-theist is an atheist.
Glad I could clear that up for you.
Brilliant deduction. I'm sure you're very smart. One day you might learn that being smart and being correct are not mutually inclusive.
LOL you just keep coming back with your shovel over and over.
Nor are they mutually exclusive. But once again, as I just explained, you can (and I am, in this case) be both.
You sound like the perfect mutually exclusive example, though. Talking with you is also just as intolerable as talking to a religious nut.
Mutually exclusively stupid and wrong? So which one am I? You don't even make sense.
You poor angry little child. There are plenty true atheists. You’re just not among them.
