Any other atheists just feel an acute intolerance for religious people?
February 3, 2017 at 7:22 pm
I literally hate religious people, because they're responsible for the thoughts they think. It's one thing for a thought to be disagreeable, and to disagree on that thought in a civil way. I can move on from a disagreement of ideas, but with religious people it's not just a disagreement of ideas. They take disagreement with their ideas as some sort of prejudice, telling them you think their beliefs are stupid is a direct attack on who they are to them.
You know, it's hard because there's a lot of really nasty shit I would like to say about religious people, about how I'd like to literally torture them because they annoy me so much, but you can't say too much stuff like that because then someone will take you seriously and call the police on you, or whatever. Moralizing pricks. But how do you handle religious people, in that you can't get them to think rationally because of their "faith" which is what they use to force themselves to think without skepticism, and no matter how much you disagree with them they're always going to keep on being stupid, no matter what you do?
It's like a vice grip on my brain, when I think about religious people. They just infuriate me, and it's infuriated me since I was really young. I absolutely despise the fact that I have to live in a world with people who lack critical thinking skills, so much that they say that something exists that has no evidence for it's existence. That's basically it, it's so simple when it comes down to it. There's no evidence that god exists, none at all. But no, I have to live in a world with people who literally believe some dude walked on water, and that once their body decays their "soul" is going to live on.
They're so fucking stupid, I hate them. And you're a piece of shit if you think I'm a piece of shit for feeling emotions that are only human. Fuck you. I feel like I'm playing a videogame where the NPC is really stupid. The video game starts to be predictable and boring, and you only wish that the game was smarter. That's how it feels being in a world filled with religious people. They're so fucking stupid I want to strangle them, and there's nothing whatsoever I can do about it.

Troll says what?
"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

Tentative welcome.
Why haven't you cured them all of their fantasy? You must be an ineffective piece of shit to boot.

No, but I am afraid of what would happen if I told a friend from a Church I used to go to that I'm an atheist. I don't hate religious people but I hate how religion has so much dominance here. I feel like if we (USA) were more like Britain or Europe the first thing I mentioned wouldn't be a problem, and overall, we would have less backward ideas.

I honestly wish I lived in sweden denmark norway new zealand or some scandinavian country. I honestly have a hard time on dating websites here because it's about 99% religious people in the dating pool. It really disgusts me especially considering the life I could be living if I lived in a beautiful scandinavian country. Better schools, better government, healthier food, more beautiful landscape (it's nothing but flat industrial wasteland where I live as far as they eye can see). America nauseates me.

The downside, of course, is that Swedish people wouldn't date you because of your religious intolerance.

If it's any comfort most of them are probably nominal Christians too afraid to take that extra step to stop believing. But the nominal Christians do kind of help keep things the way they are.
