Have you ever been asked:What do atheist`s do?
July 3, 2012 at 4:17 am
ROFLOLHas anyone ever asked you "What do atheists do?".Such a stupid question. I like to tell them that we have Wild orgies, Human Sacrifices. I also like making marionettes out of body parts found in dumpsters. What do they think. I actually spent the weekend Mowing my lawn, Doing laundry. Spending time with my wife.Taking my daughter to music lessons. Going out to eat. You know,Evil things like that. After all, we atheists follow the devil and do ungodly things. It never occurs to them. I work hard, don`t cheat on my taxes or torture small animals. Oh, I`m also nice to old people too. Ungodly traits like that. Has anyone else ever run into the same situation?

That is the problem. Enjoying Life makes them think the worst.

Should it matter to you? Unless they deliberately try to impede your life, which means they need their ass kicked.

Yeah, they expect us to be sad and evil for simply lacking their beliefs. Always surprises them that we live life like any other. Peaceful, happy and fulfilling. Evil stuff like that.

Silly religious people.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence - Carl Sagan

Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.

Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.

You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.

My answer is no to this particular question
Then again I live in a country where 30% of the population are practically atheists for all intensive purposes.

What do atheists do?

Drugs.

Speak for yourself. I do women! Which is better than drugs, because they're warm, soft and get you wet when they ride you.
....and make you smell funny after wards but that's just part of the fun.

Oh yeah? Drugs help you forget your problems, and women just constantly remind you of them.Wink

Just kidding. Don't do drugs, kids.
