My anti-theistic perspective

Were you serious in that thinking? Or was it only, to use your word, fantasy?

People are allowed to have dark thoughts every once in a while. We all have them. There's no need to panic though.

Actually, all I'm doing is opining. People are allowed to do that, too.

The rest of your opinion is of no concern to me. Thanks for offering it, though.

Just to be clear Kitan, if you really do think like that in general, you should get yourself checked out. I suspect it's simply a spur-of-the-moment thing, however.

Many people would be happy I guess if Hitler were killed earlier.

Also some number of Germans of that time would not be happy but you can't please everyone.

I'm not fond of Christians. But they aren't Hitler or not even little Hitlers. Delusional they may be, but their right to live is same as those of others.
The first revolt is against the supreme tyranny of theology, of the phantom of God. As long as we have a master in heaven, we will be slaves on earth.

Unfortunately, it is not. He has made plenty of other disturbing posts.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."

-The way they use Hell as a threat for those who don't believe, and how many of them take glee in the idea that atheists will one day be in hell and get their comeuppance for having a different belief than them.
-The way they treat women in general.  "It's not a legitimate rape if..."  sounds familiar.  Women are also forbidden from becoming ordained in Catholicism, and the treatment of women by Muslims speaks for itself.
-The way they are convinced they are ABSOLUTELY RIGHT.  That there's no possibility that they're wrong.
-The way they treat homosexuals.
-The way they say "NOT ALL ____".  Sure, not all of you, but enough of you are vocal about it.  It's very much a factor.  Also "No True" fallacy fits in here as well.
-The way many of them want to force their beliefs on others.  Especially through policy
-The way most of them refuse to have any skepticism and just readily accept the bible as inerrant.  Even though we have no idea who wrote it.
-The way most of them outright deny science, no matter how much proof is in front of their faces
-The way they say "God works in mysterious ways"  to explain everything they can't explain
-The way they use god to explain things they can't explain
-The way they are so judgmental.  Too many Christians have I known who say you'll go to hell just because you don't go to church enough.  
-The way many of them assume they have a monopoly on love, and think anything that falls outside their definition of love is perversion.

There's many many many things.  And no, they don't apply to EVERY theist.  You'll never find anything that applies to EVERY body of ANY group.  That's why I listed that as one of the things I hate about them.

Probably better not to generalize then. I'm sure people here would jump all over any theist who said "I hate atheists ways." ...as if they're all the same.

It means you need better, more responsibly thought-out reasons for the positions which you take than you have been stating. "It's more cool" is for stupid juveniles. Are you really that dumb and immature?

Does your mother know that you hang out here?
Smile I'm so embarassed for you right now.

Embarassed, that you should be, for the shit you say for no better purpose than your own attention-whoring.

If not for this one's generally weird and disturbing posting patterns, my first interpretation of that line would have been that Christians are dying of old age, which is true in some countries, which I'm fine with. They're on the decline, but unfortunately their offspring who follow in their footsteps are 3x as obnoxious. They aren't Hitler yet, but come this time next year when Cruz takes the White House...
