It would be easier to print it.

There is a danger that you will end up with those things if you're not too careful. There are atheist churches being set up now which I think is defeating the whole idea. And these celebrity atheists are becoming like the new authoritative figures/clergy and certain books like revered texts.
Quote:What you are doing are giving the religious carte blache to spew their bullshit (hey it's what they are supposed to do) but if an Atheist talks about what they believe in any manner other than one of a meek submissive pussy then he is being too much like the enemy.
They're free to spew any amount of bullshit they like as long as they're not insulting/harming anyone in the process. If someone wants to go on about the wonders of astrology, homeopathy, psychic mediums, the Lost City of Atlantis, the Pyramids being built by ancient aliens, UFOs, crystal skulls or whatever else then they can. We're not the thought and reason police.
Quote:Even though what the original poster was showing was a complaint about stuff he voluntarily read online. Let me know the day an Atheist shows up at your door preaching.
Only Jehovah's Witnesses and Mormons really do that. With Mormons it tends to be more out on the street when ask you things like "What you think happens after this life?". But atheists have nothing at all to preach to anyone, that's the idea of it. You can still have your own opinions that have nothing particularly to do with atheism which is just a lack of belief in any God, gods or a religion.
