I've Said This All Along
May 6, 2015 at 2:38 pm
Our very existence terrifies the piss out of the god buggerers.

Quote:Study: People don’t like atheists because they serve as a grim reminder of death’s finality
Quote: Atheists are disliked because they pose a fundamental threat to the worldview of religious people, a worldview that helps them mitigate “the potential terror arising from the uniquely human awareness of death.”
Fuck 'em. Grow up.

Sure, makes perfect sense. It's the same reason why I hate poor people. Unless I can give them some charity to make myself feel better.

How do atheists pose a threat? If a theist is so sure there's an afterlife, what does the opinion of an atheist matter? It seems like they aren't interested in reality and don't want to be reminded of it.
Anyhow, you can be atheist and still believe in an afterlife so that's bollocks.
People don't like atheists because they have no rational defense for their beliefs, and/or they don't understand what atheism is. They have to do everything for their god, I guess they have to be afraid on his behalf as well.

The threat is to the delicate core of a world view based on fairy tales. Even fucking idiots use evidence in daily lives. We're like the little fuckers in grade 1 who tell your kids there's no Santa, and so they secretly get up at midnight and catch "Santa" banging the wife on the kitchen table. Hilarity, and years of counseling, are likely to ensue.

Christians spend much time "strengthening" their faith, an activity that suggests it's in continuous need of shoring up by contact with fellow believers. Atheists don't help with the shoring up part.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god. If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.

WE show that it is possible to exist without paying attention to their horseshit.
Idiots find that very threatening.

Also, religion has these people by the balls. That angers them because they see people that don't waste their time praying and worshipping, and they're pissed that their god isn't cursing their every breath.

Same reason I hate smart people, they remind me of how slow I am
