My introduction

[Yahweh]

I'm not sure what to say, but I'll give a little background. I'm 16 and will be 17 in January. I play vidya games (PC=master race, k?) I've been Atheist for nearly 3 years. I've always questioned the existence of god and legitimacy of jesus since my earliest memories. I feel I can only be myself around other Atheists. Theists around me seem to only judge. (Ironic isn't it?) I've acquired this notion which made me believe that anyone who isn't Atheist, or doesn't accept evolution is pathetic. I know how much (some) Atheists despise Atheist-elitists, but it seems as if there's a double standard in place which allows christians to do whatever the hell they want and offend who ever they want, but if you're an Atheist telling someone belonging to a congregation what they should and shouldn't be doing, you're trying to push your "beliefs" on people. Religion as a whole has set us humans back from achieving or discovering our full potential. Who knows where we all could be had religion been viewed as something idiotic? It couldn't possibly be worse than where we are.

I could go on and on about my "hate" towards religion and extreme dislike for Christians, but I'd rather introduce another side of me.

I plan on going to college for Aerospace Engineering(4 year degree). After, I'll be joining the Navy equipped with an officer rank which gives me way more options to choose from than if I hadn't received a 4-year degree. If everything works out, I'll become a Navy fighter pilot. I'm not sure how the whole process works so I won't keep talking out my ass pretending I do. A few years down the line when I've established credit and built a foundation for myself and maybe my family, I plan on returning to college and get my law degree.

I'm not sure what else should be here.. bai.

(partial quote)

If everything works out, and religion perishes soon, we'll have no need for any fighters of any kind.

I like your zeal

Hi, and welcome!

I don't hate Christians, personally. I see them as any other brainwashed cult member, or perhaps, mentally challenged individual...

[Raeven]

Welcome, RM! Enjoy your time here!

[CleanShavenJesus]

Welcome!

I don't particularly agree with your ideology, but you seem like an honest kid.

I know how much (some) Atheists despise Atheist-elitists, but it seems as if there's a double standard in place which allows christians to do whatever the hell they want and offend who ever they want, but if you're an Atheist telling someone belonging to a congregation what they should and shouldn't be doing, you're trying to push your "beliefs" on people.

And that's why people should just try and be the better person rather than sinking to another's level.

It's not about a double standard, it's about some people being arseholes. "Atheist-elitists" are just as much arseholes as the religious people who spout their nonsense wanting to force people into believing things.


Welcome aboard anyway.

Welcome!
And good luck with your life plans! They sound nice... but requiring a lot of hard work!

[Doubting Thomas]

Welcome. I hope you don't get too stiff.
