I came here for the jelly.
February 17, 2016 at 12:22 am
and the honeys, but mostly for the jelly.
I won't tell you how I ended up atheist, because to me atheism is like my bra size.
I won't tell you about my religious past, because to me my past is like American flour tortillas.
I can tell you about the jelly, but you guys know already. That's why I'm here.
If you want me to go deep, I can say three things:
1. Freedom feels like a depo shot. You know?
2. I have a brick where the heart goes. Sometimes the brick moves funny. I've heard they call that "feels". Don't. I won't like you if you say "feels".
3. Ha! Deep. (mind wandered)
So, this is me. Where are the theists?

Hello again. 
"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

Welcome! (I think)
We don't abuse our theists here!
They're our entertainment!

Thanks, yo!
I don't abuse. I cuddle. While wearing Bengay. Stuff smells funny.

Welcome.
Please don't bite our good theists but that leaves plenty you can bite, piss on, or hump their legs to your heart's content.

Ok. I'll bite on my cat until I figure out which ones are the good ones.
 Just kidding. In all seriousness, I don't bully. I'm not about that. I was a theist once.

Most people were theists, or know and like a few theists, or something like that. They are, after all, most of the population. However, with a few notable exceptions, the theists who show up on atheist forums are not nice people.
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.

Well, hello there. Bit weird for someone to be here for me in particular

Maybe some honestly feel that they are on a mission by coming here. I doubt that these are the majority, though.
I can't picture myself going to a religious forum just to show them how wrong I feel they are. I wouldn't go to my dozen aunts' homes on their prayer circle nights just to discuss my opposing views. I just think there's a tad of arrogance involved when you just have to go out of your way, into a space named after something you condemn to eternal damnation, and bite.
On the other hand, for some it takes balls.
I can master being chill with ballsy people. For all the others, on days in which work doesn't drain me, I'm looking forward to picking their jelly.
