Quote:- People say it's a lack of religion, but many atheists say they are religious (This doesn't mean you)Then they are wrong
Quote:- The atheists spent years being critical, now many are copying the same things they criticized (Churches, bibles, hymns, potlucks, religious rights, etc...)Cultist

Quote: You go to an atheist website or social function and it's "God this, God that." They talk about "God" or "gods" more then the theists do.Which means nothing
Quote:- They complain about theists trying to convert, yet they go wear "No God" t-shirts and go out and try to convert people.Wearing a T shirt is not converting people
Quote:- Many go out and tell everybody they need to think like them, while also preaching that the world needs to "end all religion" Why? Think what you like and stop hassling everybody. Same goes for a lot of the theists.Pointing out the flaws of religion isn't preaching
Quote:- Reporting scientific conclusions that weren't concluded in any studies, then trying to use it to validate their beliefs why invalidating others.False
Quote:- Running around in circles during discussions trying to dispute simple points that normally would be accepted at face value from others. For example, someone fussing about me mentioning Muslims acknowledging Kwanzaa. By trying to create a false argument, the whole point was missed, being, "I wouldn't be offended by it" even though I'm not Muslim.Irrelevant
Quote:The list goes on and on. I get annoyed by atheists and I don't have some outstanding bias to dislike them. In fact, there are atheists I adore and call friends. It's just the religious, dogmatic ones who spew nonsense at anybody and pretend they're something else.All baseless opinion
Quote:If someone shows up on my doorstep, atheist, Muslim, Christian, or whatever, they are always welcome in my home and will be treated as family.
Irrelevant
Quote: No bias against any and have friends all across the board. But somehow they manage to be one of the most annoying groups to deal with because of all the oddities and double standards.
Nope
Quote: So I'm left throwing my hands up in the air and wondering "What the heck is wrong here?" If you want to be an atheist, be a good atheist, treat others well, and respect others beliefs even when they are different. Same goes for everybody else. Be the best version you can be of whoever you are. The end.All baseless opinion
So along rant filled with nothing
Quote:I love how when it comes down to what YOU believe atheism to be, it's 'no true Scotsman' galore...It's not what i believe and it's not a true Scotsman sorry Huggy your grasping at straws
Thanks for demonstrating.
