And the funniest thing about it is that in making all these irrational posts, they are trying to deny my conclusion, ie trying to convince us their atheism is rational.
I love it!
Let's do a summary of the responses
Maelstrom: Irrational.
pineapplebunnybounce: Confused. Kinda sorta was trying to make a point...but no. When atheists talk about religion, they're almost always hating or whining. Even if they're not hating and whining when talking about movies or anime. Overall, just confused.
artistriley: Surprisingly rational. Have to actually agree with her, it was unfair of me to generalize all atheists as being that way. But I'd say the vast majority of atheists are.
Captain Colostomy: Meh. Claims I don't understand atheism but commits a "No True Scotsman" while trying to show atheism is rational. Lawl.
Minimalist: Does not even manage a minimally rational response.
Walking Void: At first I thought to myself "Hey, look a rational atheist, I need an autograph." But then I looked at what he was quoting and laughed. He missed the point totally, obsessing about the numbers when the numbers are not even the point. I think honest reflection on his part will make it clear to him. I mean, just looking at his own forum will prove it. Let's see if he's capable.
Dragonetti: His avatar was cute. And he's right that my statements were too general.
--What is that, two rational responses out of seven so far? About 29% of atheists are capable of being rational when asked to be? All the data isn't in yet, however. That number could shift dramatically lower.
Ryantology: Ooh, good point! Rational response #3! It doesn't prove atheism is itself rational, you're right. But I think it shows that for the vast majority of atheists, their atheism is irrational.
The Germans are coming: LOL. Nice to see you too, Fritz. Another hateful, sad post. And as predictable as the sun rising, zero rationality.
whateverist: Makes an interesting comparison to religious people. But the comparison fails, because with most atheists, their atheism is a shift from theism to atheism, which assumes they have good rational reasons to be atheists. Being raised atheist, or even being raised religious does not need rational justification. It's just a matter of circumstance. But for making such a valiant effort, rational response #4. He's also wrong about people in general whining on forums. I've been on a number of them, and it's not the case. Also what's with all the crying about me trying to intimidate people on here? That's a laugh. I can't really call your response rational #4 given the heaping helping of ridiculous claims you're making on the side. That and he thinks Anthony Flew is John Searle. LOL all going downhill for you buddy.
Kayenneh: Doesn't seem to have learned to use words yet, let alone use them well. Remedial, but made me laugh. Thanks for entertaining.
pocaras: No, it doesn't. Think about other possible explanations whose mere possibility rules out your conclusion. Good try though.
Stimbo: Actually one might lead to the other. Hating religious people so much just might lead to learning more about them, with the goal of attacking them. But kudos on trying to think rationally.
gall: Just outright nonsense. If you've been to Christian forums, you will see so little whining about atheists it's almost embarrassing how it makes atheists look. Guess my intelligence is the limiting factor in my acceptance of your belief, gall? lul I guess it does swing both ways. But the nail in his coffin is the claim that people on both sides would be offended. Tell them to stop being so butthurt. We have no problem calling Christianity irrational, do we?
Faith No More: Bwah, nice!
3/15 so far, more or less. That's 20% of atheists who can be rational when asked to be.
