WTF Atheists!?

RE: WTF Atheists!?
So what you don't like is scorn, which is inherent in every human being?

Please get off the internet, then.

It's what I usually do. Stop stressing. REAL Atheists are those who don't believe in a god or gods. The rest is up for ridicule

Thats the definition of the word Atheist indeed, verry well done... I don't think they should all be cocky and arrogant and tell people to buy medicine and liquor to go fuck them selfs.
This is exactly what I mean. For someone who likes to portray himslef as knowledgeable as you do, you can't seem to figure out a simple thread like the one I posted.
But you seem to prove my point more than anything.

Interesting; the only person here using the phrase "go fuck [your]self" is you. Kichi was simply advising you to relax, chill out and stop stressing, thus disproving your point more than anything. That's because she (please note) is the very opposite of cocky and arrogant.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

RE: WTF Atheists!?
Yeah, I'm open to the idea that people become atheists because it's cool, but I simply haven't seen it.

I suppose I can understand the idea of someone becoming an atheist to try to be a hipster, since our religious non-beliefs are hardly mainstream, but that says more about the hipsters than it does about us.

Fact is, I don't believe in God for the same reason I don't believe in fairies or dragons: I don't see suficient evicence to prove to me that they exist. If that's mainstream, cool, if not, that doesn't really matter much anyway; whether it's maintream or not doesn't make it any less true.

Honestly, though, I think the big difference between myself as an atheist and a hipster atheist is that I want my beliefs to be mainstream. I want people to start rejecting their belief in God simply because if we stop sitting around counting the number of angels dancing on the head of a pin, we can start accomplishing real things like curing cancer, ending poverty and starvation, fixing the energy crisis, dealing with global warming and finding an economic model that can support more than just the wealthy.

Well put! It's like some obsessive Freudian who just can't avoid seeing phallic images everywhere they go, unable or unwilling to consider that maybe the problem is with them.

Yes we have along history in dealing with the Dutch here in OZ. Fantastic people but far too pedantic and ignorant to the variables of life and not at all pragmatic and so not very flexible. Much to their detriment.

I'll take a look, but I'm not sure what I'm supposed to be "proud" of - not believing in a non-existent being?

Nah I don't think so, the later reactions proves that. Anyway, doesn't really matter. I think anyone one knows what a bottle of liquor and medicine suggests. Besides, there are better ways to relax over here. And yes she is arrogant and cocky in my oppinion. Or it could be the time of the month I don' t know.
