Dollface's thread is proof that most black atheist/agnostics are wimps

[dj-method-x]

That thread is cringe worthy. The number one reason black atheists gave for her never meeting a black non believer is that most non believers are quiet about it and afraid to step on people's toes by divulging there non belief or skepticism of belief. You have people in that thread literally claiming that they are only willing to talk about atheism on the internet where they are anonymous and safe. You have a bunch of people who are completely convicted in being atheist/agnostic, thinks it benefits their lives, but go out of their way to keep their way of thought a secret from their own inner circles of people they care about who could benefit from the knowledge, experience, and open dialog. That's some weak shyt!

I'm speaking as a agnostic. Black freethinkers we need to stop being afraid. Stop being in the closet. The more of us that are open about this IN REAL LIFE, the more we can start having open dialog within black culture, and remove a lot of the barriers to free thought and open possibilities.

I'm not saying everyone should do lame shyt like become an social media activist and post demeaning memes making fun of religion on Facebook. I'm saying we should not be afraid to be honest as long as we do it in a way that's respectful.

I meet non believers in real life and I'm like do you. I think most younger religious folk aren't really tripping on non believers like that. But everyone wants to feel oppressed I suppose.

I noticed that at least one poster said he had to lie or black women wouldn't fukk with him.
That's a pretty big something to lie about in a relationship imho.



I'm still wondering why someone who thinks religon/organized religon is stupid wants to pursue someone who apparently has these beliefs?

I am agnostic and if someone ASK me for my religious beliefs, I will gladly tell them but it depends on where. I was eating thanksgiving at this familys house. She asked if I believed in god, I told her yes. Not because I was scared,it was because it was not the right setting as the whole family is on that church shyt. My parents know I dont believe in that bullsheet, so does my sister and friends. When folks approach me about their religious b.s I gladly tell them my views lol.

Most people just want to avoid the possible exile and ridicule they may receive from there brain-washed parents. I'm an atheist and my girl is Christian but I refuse to talk about it with my parents or hers. They do know that I'm a skeptic for whatever that's worth though.

I don't blame them, a lot of black women have this "god fearing" man bullshyt that they love to talk about while that same nikka in church is sleeping around and cheating like mother fukker. I know dudes in church every sunday cheating on their women,it is disgusting. I don't necessarily lie, I just tell them I dont attend church lol.

I can't think of a situation to where I absolutely have to open my mouth about it

The less people know about me the better. I like to lay in the cut

My gf, soon to be fiancé is a believer. You'd be surprised how much our difference in belief is NOT an issue. She's not a super hard core bible thumper though so other's mileage may vary. There's really not much difference between a person who believes in a magical God and a person who doesn't. It's just up to the two people to show each other that while they may disagree on this one thing, it's still possible to be in sync in almost all other ways that truly matter.

For her the hardest thing is what everyone else may think of me and my thoughts. For me, the hardest thing is having to inject more realism, logic, and rationality into situations that she may lean on faith in divine intervention for lol. Both are scenarios are really rare though.

Not everyone wants to get into debates because of their beliefs or lack there of. I find that overly religious people always want to preach about something. I've had people preach to me about things, while they, themselves are sinning.


ETA: I don't believe in lying about who you are, just to impress or win a potential lover/partner.

 

[Rarely-Wrong Liggins]

The problem I have is that a lot of these atheists/agnostics that are too frightened of uncomfortable situations in the real world have no issue getting on the Internet and trying to shyt on people. How are you going to shyt on someone who is proud of their beliefs and you're too frightened to express yours (or lack of) publicly.

I feel like if its something that you STRONGLY believe in, then all situations should be handled with absolute honesty.

I hear a lot of people saying, "Christianity is for fools!" or "Religion is only believed by idiots", but when asked of their own beliefs they cower and hide or feign the answer. Be real.

For the record, Im not Christian- and will tell anyone who ask me, in ANY situation because its what I, personally, believe. If they cant understand that then they are not worthy of my friendship in any case because I do not condemn anyone else for their beliefs, unless it translates into them treating others negatively.

I believe in a higher power, something bigger than just us. (Perhaps all people collectively are it?) Im not entirely sure, and Im okay with not knowing everything, as that is a significant part of the journey we take in life.

It does NOT have to be a debate. If the discussion is "you're right and I'm wrong", then yes it probably would become an argument. But explaining to folks what, how, and why you landed on what you believe should not turn into a debate. Before it does, just agree to disagree and move on. The explanation could be eye opening though.

I avoid the topic because MOST black people are religious ...but if they bring it up

Never met a BLACK athiest in REAL life . They must have all congregated to the Coli or sumthin. We have done a melanin check on these so-called BLACK athesits, right?
