Pathos article atheists can identify with.

Pathos article atheists can identify with.
Since being online since 2001 on an almost daily basis, I hear constant stories like the one you are about to read. The more disturbing ones to me are the ones that involve teens having to live in silence, or have been kicked out of the house. My younger sister came out as an adult and our biological family did not respond well to it, but after some time, they have accepted it even though we know they still don't like it.

It's easy to suggest she tell that detestable cow of a mother to fuck right off, but the damage done to the daughter runs very deep.. Christianity; fucking the human psyche one mind at a time.
It's amazing 'science' always seems to 'find' whatever it is funded for, and never the oppsite. Drich.

It made me think of my in-laws (and to a lesser degree, my mother). It's eerie how badly religion can mess with people and how those people can in turn fuck up their own kids

I feel so lucky to be born in the UK, most people here don't give a damn if you believe or not
The meek shall inherit the Earth, the rest of us will fly to the stars.

Never underestimate the power of very stupid people in large groups

Arguing with an engineer is like wrestling with a pig in mud ..... after a while you realise that the pig likes it!

Religions were invented to impress and dupe illiterate, superstitious stone-age peasants. So in this modern, enlightened age of information, what's your excuse? Or are you saying with all your advantages, you were still tricked as easily as those early humans?

There is no better way to convey the least amount of information in the greatest amount of words than to try explaining your religious views.

Yes.

But failing to do so means the abuse continues.  Even if fucking jesus existed he wouldn't be that important.

You know, there's a lot of articles on Patheos atheists can identify with, some by atheists, some by liberal Christians.

Some of the ones I've read are:

* Slacktivist: politics and talk about religion, with a serialised dissection of the Left Behind series once a week.
* Love, Joy, Feminism: femist who was raised into the Quiverfull movement, and eventually became an atheist.
* Daylight atheism: dissected Atlas Shrugged; even in the comments section, someone added a version where Cobra Commander from G.I. Joe is injected into the plot and turns out to be saner (and actually more moral, because Ayn Rand really set the bar that low) than the rest of the characters.
Comparing the Universal Oneness of All Life to Yo Mama since 2010.
