Guest Calx Sherbet Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 faiths can breed some real pricks How is that when atheists are the ones that have no faith?

Guest Calx Sherbet Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 you could say something as innocent as "god bless you" to one and they'd be like "thanks, even though there isn't one." I've heard this little anecdote a few dozen times from a few dozen people, and I know a good plenty atheists online and offline. None of them are like that. I would challenge you to find an atheist above the age of 15 which acts in this way. i didn't know it was a common anecdote. they've all just seemed rude to me. online and offline. it's just they seem consistantly more asshole-ish. but with any group of people, i am aware that there a good eggs of course. not trying to over generalise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead of using societal advances to solve the worlds problems, they turn to a fictional book of short stories, bow to a dead man on a stick and ask an invisible guy in the sky for favors… …let alone the atrocities its members have caused for countless centuries (that are still ongoing today). Practitioners of organized religious beliefs should be viewed as delusional. *edit: I admit, I'm rude "online and offline". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest morphis2525 Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 this thread makes me i'm glad i can say that "religion is ridiculous" where i live and not have to worry about some morality police coming and killing me. but really, as silly as it seems to me, organized religion has given billions of people on this planet some sense of purpose and peace. it's just so sad that the people on the fringes of any movement always seem to be the ones that make the most noise and therefore get the most attention. it doesn't make me angry, just a little bit disgusted when i see it. and yes, many terrible things have been done in the name of "our god" to the heathen unbeliever, but wars for political or economical motivations seem just as ludicrous to me as someone killing another over religious beliefs. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mWUptVHNfvw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
