Improve The World

What I’m saying is that atheism is as irrelevant as pizza-loving because, and I know that this is mind-blowing:

Atheism is not anti-religion!

:hmph:

“Get rid of extremist religious fundamentalists and extremist anti-religious fundamentalists” I would have no problem with and actually wholeheartedly and fervently agree with. Why was “atheism” even mentioned?

Exactly.

But I want to rid the world of the extreme atheists who are anti-religion.

That’s sort of the point of the whole “extreme” bit.

EDIT: It is assumed anti-religion folks would be atheists, too.

Why even mention atheism? It gets under my skin. It is assumed that anti-religious folks would either be male or female, too. Why not just say “extremist men and women”?

I guess I could say “extremist anti-religion religious or non-religious folks,” but somehow I doubt many of the people wanting to burn down temples pray to Yahweh.

Is it honestly that big of a deal to you?

“We should invade [Muslim] countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity.” --Ann Coulter

And, yes, it’s important to me. It slimes atheists with the anti-religion brush. Atheism is simply a lack of belief in deities. It is not, nor is it ever, anti-religion. To assume that “extremist atheists” are “anti-religion” is to assume that “extremist pizza lovers” are “anti-Macintosh computers”.

It’s a complete and utter non-sequitur. And I’m tired of “extremist atheists” being defined as “anti-religion”.

This is my attempt at improving the world…trying to remove the stigma of being an atheist. And it doesn’t help matters when there are people that go “dur hurr athiest hate religion!”

That post was made with the assumption that I’m religious in some way, correct?

I’m not.

I walk the line between agnosticism and outright atheism.

Yes, normal atheists don’t believe in God and go about their lives alongside religious folk. But EXTREMIST atheists don’t want religion to exist. Do you understand. Atheists are fine. EXTREMISTS are not.

It’s the same thing with religious folk. Normal religious people preach peace. Extremists blow shit up.

EDIT: If you don’t agree, that means you aren’t an extreme atheist. And most aren’t. Just like most religious people don’t kill for God or picket soldiers’ funerals.

rid the world of everyone who objects to pizza
theyre not real people

I’m an agnostic atheist. Angosticism isn’t a point between atheism and theism.

Extremist atheists don’t want to eliminate churches because atheism is NOT ANTI-RELIGION. Extremist atheists would, if they exist at all, seek to keep religion from being imposed on them by force. “If you make me say ‘God Bless America’, I’ll kill you!” I guess that people like that exist…but since atheism is not anti-religion, you can’t say EXTREMIST atheism is “anti-religion”.

It’s my dying wish (I’m not dying yet) for people to understand this painfully simple fact.

Did you ever read Maniac Magee? That kid was allergic to pizza.

EDIT: So than I guess that religious extremists are twice as more accepting of other people and promote peace twice as hard? Cause religion does not promote hatred or intolerance.

Actually, many religions do promote hatred and intolerance. Take a gander at the Bible as a f’rinstance. It commands the followers of said books to not accept other people and not have peace with them.

Now that’s fun, eh?

Point is: Atheism does NOT convey a single anti-religious idea. Why, then, lay anti-religion at their feet?

For lack of Gods sake, extremist atheists treat atheism like a religion, feeling it necessary to spread it across the world. You’re acting like a Christian trying to deny extremist christians. Stop it.

How, exactly, does one “spread atheism”? Go door-to-door giving out blank pamphlets?

How about we just kill everyone. I’m sure that would make the world better.

By protesting religious holidays, not saying “God” in the pledge, etc.

Not to mention automatically calling religious people morons, wanting to abolish religion, thinking all religion does is cause wars, thinking atheism is the best way, etc.

how about we kill everyone who starts stupid fucking arguments about atheism how is it something u honestly need to argue about
people are fucking dumb, there are dumb christians, there are dumb atheists, there are dumb everything its not going to change get the fuck over it ok

Hey, I’m willing to drop it.

It’s Daniels who won’t.

…again…

NOT.

ATHEISM.

Sheesh.

And I apologize for not “dropping it”. It was asked how to improve the world. I say “education”…but some don’t seem to want to learn. :frowning:

Right. You’re right. They can all be religious.

But they aren’t. Someone who doesn’t want to celebrate the birth of christ isn’t going to attend mass.

We can dick around the vagina until we’re blue in the balls, but fact is all anti-religion people, by association, also don’t believe in god. AKA they are atheists.

Find me an example of a religious man who wants to abolish his religion or otherwise end its importance and I’ll change my statement.

well that’s silly. it’s like saying all fish have scales, so anything with scales is a fish. only except for everything is scaly by default and has to make a choice to remove those scales. also fish are rude.
