About atheism

[The Reality Salesman01]

Lol, I saw the title and clicked to read the OP...Given my understanding of what an Atheist is, the first sentence had me chuckling out loud. Who is out there spreading this manure?! How can a lack in belief of something lead people to infer so much crazy shit?!!

I'd like to see several sources cited that prove this. Otherwise, it's just an opinion of someone who doesn't understand the term "atheist" or "atheism" at all.

I watched popular atheists on youtube like Dawkins and Hitchens and they mostly said that we are soulless meatbags and we should be man enough to accept it.

That's what we are in reality just meat bags on a ball of mud in a solar system on the ass end of a galaxy in the galatic cluster in the universe.

I am a soulless meatbag.

The soul does not exist and I am a bag of meat.

Atheism biggest flaw is that it says that human lifes is nothing more then illusion because of its temporary nature and all you can do is smile while enjoy your life and then - dissappear.

Atheism is just not believing in gods.

You believe in any other supernatural/magical stuff?

Me, no.  But plenty of atheists do.  (See, for example, Buddhism.)

Wise atheists abandon belief in magic altogether. Otherwise you cannot deny authority with a face sitting somewhere in the realm of magic where everything is possible. Those guys are worshiping faceless God or mass of energy.

So, you mean sceptics. Just say sceptics. Atheism is irrelevant. Still. Atheism is the logical conclusions of scepticism, but not vice versa. Atheism is one tiny subset of the conclusions of scepticism.

Yes, those who wish to deal with reality on reality's terms and hold the most accurate beliefs possible are sceptics. If you're proud not to be one, then more power to you. You can go on talking about undemonstrated phenomena as if they are established facts.

This is my last effort to appeal to your sense of reason.

No wonder that many people go as far as divert all their resources otherwise spend on good life and instead put themselves in miserable life style(praying, donating, working hard) but with hope of good afterlife.

Yes, purple, that's an observation. People fear death and welcome any sort of comfort to drive away their fears. Us atheists sidestep that basic fear by thinking we're smarter than we really are and in so doing developing a false sense of indestructibility. Life sucks(your genitals if you're good at it). Drugs are the answer.

You're welcome.

Also, writing in a different color makes me look smarter than I really am and signing my name makes me look more interesting and intriguing than I am. I wonder what kind of cunt I am that I would do something like that. Truth is a handful, isn't it?
