I forgot, we are a religion and magically you have the correct way to "be" and "do".Well, what I'm saying is you can't do anything under the atheist identity, as its really too much of a personal thing, actually. It has no real philosophy beyond personal convictions and by that I mean, it has no other reference point beyond the individual, and it has no manifesto.
How about this, you don't like the way I do things. So?
If you were a religion, things would be much easier, as you'd have a certain set of rules, and a higher purpose to pursue.
Its not that I don't like the way you do things, its just that I don't think that you're doing anything at all.
Or at least anything of value.
Ha, ok.
First off OF COURSE "atheist" isn't a philosophy, it is merely a position. What makes you think I don't know that?
Secondly when I speak out under that label, you think I stupidly think that I am saying everyone should do things the way I do, but then defy your own argument by rightfully saying I am an individual. Make up your mind, which is it?
You don't think I am doing anything at all? No, stop it, you don't like the way I am doing it, thats all.
"Value" thats code for "I refuse to admit that others are different than me and if they don't "value" the same things I do they are always wrong.
Sorry, I don't think it is ever a bad thing, no matter how small, to call out any and all absurd claims or call religion the weapon it is. We'd still think the earth was flat if no one questioned.
You simply are projecting yourself on me like a theist does trying to sell their "value".
