Average Atheists

Average Atheists
I want to talk about the average atheist.

1. Considers themself to use logical and rational thinking
2. Considers devout muslims to be psychopathic and delusional
3. Ridicules the dumb mussie cunts and their prophets
4. Acts surprised when they react with psychopathic and delusional behaviour

I see some contradictions here. Why cannot the majority of atheists be as enlightened as I?

RE: Average Atheists
I don't have to erase it from my mind. I suggest visiting a shrink to help erase it from yours.
“Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent.
Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent.
Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil?
Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?”
Epicurus

If you're going to quote me, at least have the decency to do it properly.

Hi ChrisT
the average atheist doesn't relate to life in terms of a personified God.
I think the rest depends on what experiences and biases they may have
run across with other people especially theists they don't understand.

If people forgive what they see, they don't have to adopt emotional biases against one group or another more than any other that is just as fallible and prone to abuse.

all collective organizations that get too top heavy end up prone to corruption of power and abuse of individuals without equal defense.

so this is true of human institutions in general.

I think any questions you have of why can't other people figure out
what you have learned is pretty average or typical of how people feel
when they can't understand the biases or behavior of others.

Welcome to humanity, I think we've all felt this way, in our own ways.
None of us is quite like anyone else, and we are going to feel left out of the loop
while others look content going round and round on a merry go round
we want nothing to do with. part of the price we pay for being self-aware.

Emily, you annoy me.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

The OP may or may not be a sock, but Emily is goddamned well a twat.

If you asked me which one should taste the hammer first, I'd vote for Emily. I mean, at least the OP has alcoholism as an excuse. Emily reads like a stone-cold drone.
