Serious question: Why are atheist's such a$$holes?

[the cac mamba]

as stated above, just to reinforce:

i might be an atheist to you, but you're an atheist to the greeks, mesopotamians, egyptians, and every other fukkin civilization who thought their flavor of the month was the real one

a christian doesnt believe in 999 gods, and i dont believe in all 1000

no religious fool will refute this, because it cant be done

 

[I AM WARHOL]

One question... do you believe that all the religions in the world are describing a different god?

For the most part.

 

[JuvenileHell]

Religious folk not only think they know how the earth was created, but also how it will end. All the while having little to no proof to base their claims on. That is tier 0 levels of arrogance.

 

[BaldingSoHard]

For the most part.

Fair enough .

I brought up the Soviet Union cause I realize atheist like to think only religion causes violence and stiffer in the world and that's not the case

It's the primary cause... At least over the course of world history. That's indisputable.

How do you kill in the name of atheism.

Atheism is not the answer to the conflict of religion tho. That is also indisputable. That's my point. To act as tho if more people were atheist there would be no conflict is absurd and that's what a lot of atheist believe. If we lived in a world were there was no religion there would be just as much conflict cause that's human nature. We'd all just find something else to fight about

Same way people kill in the name of everything else
The Chapel Hill Murders Should Be a Wake-Up Call for Atheists
Stop Blaming Religion for Violence

What about people telling you you're going to hell if your beliefs don't match theirs?

Them too.

I don't think many people would believe in the bolded, more like why have religions caused so much grief when they're 'supposed' to be the flag bearer of morality and goodness.

Your comparison is alittle off though.

Stalin wanted a secular russia because it meant the Orthodox church would have no power to sway the masses. Stalin only cared about preserving power, not about any particular religion.

Other USSR leaders may have been atheist or non religious but they supported other religions.

I agree. It was all about power over the masses. That wasn't the only type of religion stifled by Soviet Russia tho.

Yes, but people wouldn't be able to use religion to hide behind things like bigotry, or to gain power through violence. I was in no way implying that Atheism is the answer to religion. There are entirely too many people that are held in check simply because they think there's some kind of hellish punishment for not following the bible, or the quran, or any other religious text. Those people need religion more than anything, because if they didn't have that to hold them in check they could potentially become dangerous to the general population.

My problem with religion stems more from the Christians in the US who attempt to use the government as a means to "spread the word" through bullshyt legislation. If you don't believe in something due to your religious beliefs that's fine with me. With that said, forcing your religion on people who don't believe in it is wrong. If we could completely eliminate religious laws from the government I honestly wouldn't even care about it. The middle east is a mess that will never be solved, but the US's problem is politicians trying to appease people who think it's ok to force their religious beliefs on the general population.

I mean christ their stances contradict like a mother fukker. We have people who want to ban abortion because they believe it's murder, but want to carpet the middle east..... Small problem carpet bombing civilians is also MURDER. It's things like that bother the shyt out of me, especially since Jesus was a pacifist. Jesus was also a socialist and these people hate socialism something serious. They just don't make any damn sense to me.

Which is a big big problem

They think just because you can't see, feel, smell or hear god he doesn't exist. Some atheists are very bright but I think majority have suffered some trauma which caused their belief in god to dissipate. Little do they (atheists) know, their belief in god not existing is similar to those who believe in god's existence. Everything is based on trust in your personal beliefs.
