Being An Atheist Doesn't Make You A Good Person

Houston is adjacent to the Gulf of Mexico. Period. Hurricanes happen. I have lived through tornados and ice storms. I have lived on fault lines. Just like any other business life is simp!y "location, location, location".

Which does not stop charlatans from using natural disasters to scare idiots into believing in their fucking god.

Pat Robertson says Haiti paying for 'pact to the devil'

The Catholic priest who blamed Italy's recent earthquakes on gay marriage has doubled down on his assertions in a radio interview.

Fr Giovanni Cavalcoli said at the weekend that "human sins, such as civil unions" were behind the earthquakes that have killed hundreds, made thousands homeless and destroyed historic churches and monuments that were hundreds of years old.

Sometimes, it isn't even natural disasters that get their dicks hard.

Tennessee Church On Orlando Massacre: God’s Wrath Is About To Start Falling Down On The Gays

There is nothing more despicable than a religitard trying to spread his message of hate and fear.

Neither does atheism hinder you in acting as a person of good will toward others. Same goes for xtians except that some of them seem to accept some fatalism toward their 'sinful ways', counting on supernatural intervention to handle the fall out when they act in ways that harm others.

I'm pretty sure "you'll be a good person" was a clause in the contract I signed. Maybe those two should consult attorneys.

Man, what? I'm fucking fabulous.

No true atheist is a bad person, obviously.

[Astonished]

Interesting how religion doesn't make a person good (they're doing that on their own, they just don't realize it), but it does make them bad when they otherwise most likely wouldn't be. Like the worst kind of treatment for an illness, it doesn't cure it, or worse, it makes you actually sick when you weren't.

There are a million and three things to be upset over, kids running around in pubs is one of them. Random wankers on shitbook, not so much.

Eh I was just so happy to find that I could openly follow atheist pages and didn't care anymore what my family and friends said to a point where I share atheist stuff from these pages. I loved how they would call the religitards out on their indecent ideas of hurting others because a book said to. I loved seeing the same mind set of we don't have to follow these archaic rules. Going from being racist and Christian to not seeing skin color and atheist was hard because you leave everyone you knew and loved behind. Half the people I know I can't stomach anymore and I know this is silly but the internet is the only place I've found people that seem to care about everyone else no matter what. I hate being around people that are close minded still because I'm afraid they will suck me back to what I used to be. To see my new 'friends' acting no better than the people that bring me down was just such a shock I couldn't stop thinking about it. I know everyone is human and has flaws I just didn't want to see these particular flaws...

What puzzles me is why an atheist - who presumably doesn't believe in any supernatural entities of any stripe, and hopefully understands that weather is not controlled by any entities and holds no messages for humanity - would make such a claim in the first place.
