Where's the line between atheist and oppressor?
#5
RE: Where's the line between atheist and oppressor?
I accept that people believe in God. I am happy to tell them that I disagree (although in real life this never really comes up). Some Christians think this is oppression, which just shows how little they have to back up their beliefs.

I also think that the way Christians have come to the conclusion that a God exists is faulty, and that if that same thinking was applied elsewhere we'd still be in the dark ages. It is this lack of rationality that affects my life that I despise, and it doesn't just apply to Christians, but conspiracy theorists, Climate change denialists, anti vaxers etc. Moderate secular-like Christians that are the majority of Christians in the UK I have little problem with, as they don't use their religious thinking outside of thinking about a God. For example, they're going to call an ambulance if I get hit by a bus, rather than pray for me.

I don't know Jesus said that, and don't really care.
