What's the worst thing about being an atheist?
March 28, 2013 at 5:06 am
Personally, the worst thing about not believing in a god is that I have no one to blaspheme against when I stub my toe on a chair.

Saying crap just isn't the same as condemning my sofa to burning eternally in hell for the crime of being in the wrong place.

What about you guys?

The lack of bliss that ignorance causes perhaps?

Having to use my brain to think about things.

Oh, and the separation it caused between my family and I.

Having to listen to theists and their claims, while thinking how non-sense it all is, but not wanting to say it out loud, just because I'm a nice person.

Listening to theists rape logic and reason. being looked down on by Theists. Expected to listen to their B.S but not to object or ridicule it as i would anything else. pretty good other than thatSmile

Having people that don't know me at all tell me why I'm an atheist.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell

"Fuck" works fine for me.

The worst thing about atheism?
Feeling really uncomfortable in church like I'm part vampire or something.
Or when my mum died having to stop myself correcting a well meaning friend of my wife who said "Shes in a better place now". I just smiled and nodded and let her go on her way thinking she had made me feel better.



You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.
