The Atheism Symbol

(December 5, 2013 at 8:13 pm)The_Thinking_Theist Wrote: I, personally, dislike the atheism symbol which includes an electron cloud around an "A". I feel like it enforces the stereotype that all atheists are freethinking, educated, smart people. That couldn't be farther from the truth. The truth: there are free thinking atheists, goddamn ignorant atheists, smart atheists, really stupid atheists, free thinking theists, horribly ignorant theists, outstandingly smart theists, and downright idiotic theists. Because in other words, atheists and theists are people, not a "way of life" that automatically makes you smart or stupid.

Just some thoughts.

1) I kinda use the Mandelbrot Set.

2) Why are you still here? Angel

It focuses on Christianity but also satirizes other religions.

That is clearly a lie, otherwise you wouldn't be a theist.

I'm as thinking as one can be for an inbred uneducated theist, let's say, Tongue

And, also, a lie is an intentionally false statement, so even if I am wrong it's not like I'm trying to deceive you.
