Every atheist I’ve ever met doesn’t know much of anything about religion. They know their parents believe in god, so they say dumb shit like “there’s no such thing as religion” because they want to cheese them off.
Then they’d be fucking idiots, wouldn’t they?
I can’t believe there are people who can say that. Someone is an atheist because he never heard the right thing about religion. He might think that he knows much enough about religion to say that religion is stupid but I tell you that you have to know a lot more about it to say that.
PS: Anyone who starts with insults with no reason and argument is clearly the troll.
I am fairly sure it’s different here in the UK, I haven’t met any people like that at all. Also you seem to be only talking about teenage atheists, do you not know any adult atheists?
I actually think King_Kaddo is one of the most ignorant people I have met on here. Most people aren’t atheists because they “never heard the right thing about religion” if that makes sense at all. Your an atheist until indoctrinated otherwise.
Are you saying that all people that do not follow religion are atheists? That’s obnoxious.
It’s like saying all people that eat fried chicken are black.
Most religions feature a deity, so most people(not all) who do not follow them are atheists. That wasn’t my point, however. My point was that, by default, we are all atheists. A baby isn’t a theist from the moment it is born, it believes in no deity, so is an atheist.
No, it’s nothing like saying that. I hope you were joking.
ffs i wish this stereotype would die
barely anyone (if anyone) is an atheist to piss off their parents
my parents don’t believe in god
neither do (partly did) my grandparents on my mother’s side
or most of the rest of my family/friends (afaik)
i’m not saying atheists know much about religion by definition, because that’s just silly, but stereotypes like these need to be killed with fire
also king kaddo is an arrogant close-minded fool
weren’t you going to explain your “philosophy” to us? you know, the one that includes homosexuality being wrong because it’s something animals do and humans are somehow supposed to be above animals?
I know not of any real gods, but I am not an atheist.
There it happens again. Why do people start insulting me instead of argumenting in a right way?
How can I be an arrogant close minded fool if you never tried to challenge my mind?
Well I don’t want to be seen as an animal. I don’t see why my “philosophy” is wrong. Hmm… Maybe because no one ever tried to explain that to me.
No. Actually, I kind of like this one. It’s a delicious change from “All Christians are uneducated gay haters that judge and look down on everyone.”
That part comes right after.
I fully understand and endorse this state- wait what?! What are you then, agnostic?
King_Kaddo, we’re just saying how ignorant you clearly are. If I said all “Christians are stupid” then I would be ignorant, but I wouldn’t say that. You said we are atheists because of something to do with not hearing about religion right…or something. We wish to know how you can speak about every atheist so confidently, especially when your words make little sense as a point or even a sentence.
@Fodder Very few atheists think all Christians are gay haters, and look down on everyone. We spend alot of time talking about that type of Christian as it is the one we dislike enough to actually talk about. Do you think most of us give a crap about the moderate Christians? The answer is no, as they are free to believe as they wish, and are no where near as ignorant and dangerous as fundamentalist Christians.
IMO atheists are self-righteous pretentious pricks and devout religious folk are, in the words of the great Maynard, “blinded by dogma”.
IMO you have no idea what you are talking about. And I’m right. Most athiests are just normal people who don’t believe in God and don’t feel the need to tell everyone. A small vocal minority on the other hand are self-righteous pricks.
In any case, being an atheist in no way influences your knowledge of religion. I personally know a lot about religion, and it is one of the key reasons I’m and atheist. Most atheists I know are the same way. Their parents taught them their religion, they rejected it because they saw it as wrong.
Winged One knows what he’s talking about.
No, I just don’t follow any organized religions or know of any supreme being to exist. I don’t plan on trying to find out what happens when you die. I’m more concerned with being a god on my own and creating real ass life.
What exactly did I ignore? Have I ever said that atheists are stupid? My posts make sense. There are just hard to understand because of my language and you not understanding them or simply IGNORING them.
I didn’t want to say that atheists are deaf or something. I want to say that if atheists would’ve heared the stuff I heard about religion they may had a different view of it.
@RamireZoid Do you even know what atheist means? Is someonerndm the only one who knows what an atheist is? I can’t bloody believe this place.
That argument, its so… so… meaningful. Its all logically spelled out for me. There is just no way to contest with such a well though out idea.
Don’t put emphasis on the Z, Dust.
Someonerandm, it wasn’t an argument. I’m sorry that you thought it was.
That was an accident, I don’t see how it is relevant at all to the discussion. In fact you just completely ignored the point of the post to nitpick.
