Damn right I am one "intense motherfucker". We've got nuts all over the world making all sorts of absurd claims, are you suggesting no one ever get offended? I think assholes who slam planes into buildings and the assholes who support those nuts should be offended.
And you are making the same mistake I see theists make. I can hate a claim without hating the person making the claim I hate, otherwise I would have to live on an island and reject my Catholic mother and my believing co-workers and friends.
"The universe is full of violence and hostile to biological life. We are here because of luck and conditions, not magic. And violent motion manifested this planet over billions of years and violence in a meteor strike can take us out too. And eventually no matter what ALL life will die on this planet and the core will go cold and the sun will die and the universe will continue without any fucking record of us."
sorry pal
thats nihilism
at least you are a 'troo' atheist
No, I hate philosophy I don't place antiquated labels on myself especially ones that are mere philosophy. We have risen above mere philosophy. We can take our claims into labs and actually test them. Philosophy is junk.
