Militant Atheism?
September 16, 2023 at 8:01 pm
My experience, offline, including my personal experience, is that the majority of atheists don't care about God. Don't have an opinion to speak of, don't concern themselves with any intrusions caused by it, don't trust "science" any more than "religion." Wouldn't spend a minute on a forum like this, in fact, would think it a stupid waste of time. My experience online is quite different. I refer to the later, those who post on forums like this, as militant atheism. They typically don't react well to that, naturally, but hell, they typically don't react too well to anything this militant theist says.
Let's set aside God for a while and talk atheism.
Do you think that participation here is indicative of something more than a purely theistic or Biblical objection, or as I suspect, a sociopolitical objection? the usual reaction to this question is to say that atheism is a rejection of God. Nothing more, but really, posting on a forum like this reflective of that? Of nothing except a rejection of gods?
Please don't respond with just personal attacks unless you have something more substantial to say. That sort of response only masks something else.

I’m just here for the dick jokes. Why are you here?

Deflecting with a joke? I haven't seen any dick jokes, but I don't go outside a couple sub forums so far.
I'm here primarily for two reasons. One juvenile and the other futile. The first, ironically, I'm a dick. The second I want to learn.

For decades I said I wasn't religious enough to call myself an atheist. I wasn't interested in the topic and avoided people who were. I'm slightly more interested now, I actively campaign for pedophile priests to be be castrated in public by their victims.

You asking me? Whatever the forum rules and mods will allow. My experience on forums like this is that attacks by atheists are allowed, but theists will be removed if they retaliate in kind. Especially if they are good. And I'm good.
I don't care what you say about me but I try to ignore shit that has no substance. Attack away, but say something relevant or sensible. You want a scapegoat? Don't bore me.

edit to add - even those with the ability to ban still go by the rules.
