I of course raised my hand. He looked at me funny and asked "a real one?" (It must be assumed that he is an idiot, as he is the same person who believes that a man't penis size is a side-effect of that man's ego.) i asked what he meant by that and he said that "a lot of atheists are just pretending because they want attention." I wish this was just this one idiots point of view, but that was shared by my father when i came out to him. Of course we got into an argument and i asked him if maybe that was just lies fed to him by someone to try and spread that point of view, smearing atheists. To this he got mad and said no, because (and i'm not kidding) his parents don't lie to him. What parent would be either so ignorant, or so evil that they would press this garbage onto an apparently either very gullible are handicapped boy? I guess that is my question. Is this true? Or is it what i think it as, more christian bullshit?
In moments of despair my emotions arise and my only thought is 'Why are we not executing certain people?' - Of course I really don't want this, it is just a way to put emphasis into how much I am annoyed by such behavior. Just be truthful to yourself and ignore the remaining bullshit.
Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you

You know, I've always wondered what process the originator of this little gem of knowledge used to determine that there were any "fake atheists" at all? Alot of people would want to talk to that guy, people would want to give him a nobel prize. He must have seen something alot of very smart people are desperately trying to quantify at this very moment to absolutely no avail....
That, or he was full of shit, and so are the rest of the helpful douchebags in this chain of idiocy.

If you don't believe in god or gods, you are an atheist. You do not have to be an anti-theist to be an atheist. You do not have to be a nihilist to be an atheist. By saying you do you are committing the no-true-Scotsman fallacy.
