Well, yes, it's your post history combined with the post in this thread;

I wanted to steer the thread into which group of people are better off or which group is more susceptible to depresion. This didn't happen because people think questioning atheism undermines it.

I mean honestly now, while there are certainly no rewards (i.e. heaven, instant guilt alleviation) when it comes to atheism there are some things that one could call advantages. Lack of delusions in god claims, for one. The little tidbit about people questioning atheism is funny as well, though not in the complementary way.

Perhaps you shouldn't be so biased with my posting history. Take a deeper look.

I'd be more than happy to provide you with what I wrote so you can understand what I wrote here:

(May 29, 2014 at 3:48 pm)BlackMason Wrote: So I've been doing a little thinking about all this stuff. I got to a point of thinking what's the point? What's the point of this whole atheism/theism thing. As atheists, most of us carry an air of arrogance like you see in the matrix. The ones that know what's going on that is.

It seems all rather theoretical. I don't see any real life advantage being an atheist. We're not much better off than theists. All we do as atheists is argue. Shit. Is that it?

Is it really so bad being a theist? You believe in god, big deal so what? I'm talking mainly about those that were not abused in the name of religion. But as compared to the "regular" theist, what advantage do we have? Does this "advantage" warrant the attitude that we treat theists with?

Yeah I get that theists pose a threat to the education system to some degree. So as atheists we gotta fight to preserve the integrity of education. The average theist eats, sleeps and shits the same way we do. So what if they say a prayer before that meal or when they sleep? They're just as capable as any atheist.

*EDIT*
It seems necessary for me to add the following for clarity:

I'm talking about the attitude that atheists typically convey online.

I'm talking about the AVERAGE THEIST and not the fundie types Christian or otherwise.

Since I'm taking about the average theist, please don't post about them trying to change laws and shit. I doubt the average theist even cares bout that shit.

Finally, I'm questioning whether the attitude online is justified by anything observable.

Let me propose a few ways to go forward. Either you can pull off that skirt you're wearing and be a big boy so we can be civil toward each other, or you could make use of your ignore list. I'm not the one with the problem here. I'm not the one going out my way to piss the other guy off everywhere I go. So what's it gonna be?
8000 years before Jesus, the Egyptian god Horus said, "I am the way, the truth, the life."
