    “They think they have it figured out, why are they so sad?”

    Well Jimmy, when you realize religious fanatics would rather shoot homeless people then feed them, its a bit of a downer!

    What kind of unchristian monster would want to stay home and rest on a Sunday instead of going to the enormous effort of getting the family into all your best clothes, going to the church and pretending to be socially acceptable and normal for a few hours and then cooking a massive meal like god intended?

      Let’s reverse it a little…

      What kind of unchristian monster would want to stay home and self isolate on Sunday instead of going through the routine of dressing up and going to church to spend time in chill and self reflective manner and socialising a bit afterwards just to go home after that and have a family dinner?

      I have nothing against anyone lol. Believe, or don’t, into anything <3 Or nothing.

    Straw goat attack. He’s not angry, he’s just tired of religious people trying to convert him.

      Not to mention how many of his ancestors were sacrificed by so many different religions and demonified the image of goats.

    Every time I tell a religious person I’m an atheist they either freeze up completely, which put a damper on the conversation, or they get very angry and tell me I’m disgraceful. My experience with religious people is that they are very uncool.

      To be fair, they’ve been conditioned that atheists are basically guys driving around in unmarked vans offering kids candy because atheism is SUPER bad for their business.

      You mean, I don’t have to get up on Sunday, I don’t have to be pressured to give 30% of my salary to the church, and I don’t have to deal with a bunch of racist, immoral pricks dotted around the congregation because they’re there for ‘forgiveness’ and I should be ‘accepting’ of that?

    I had a ‘pastor’ try and witness to me yesterday, insisting that his spiritual experiences made him right, while the spiritual experiences of people that converted to Judaism or Islam meant they had been deceived by the devil.

      It’s always funny how their experience could never have been caused by devil trickery, only the others’. Same as the divine revelation of the word, only theirs is truly divine and correct, unlike those filthy others

    Buncha witnesses tried approaching me the other day as I was tending to my flower bed. I sprayed them with my water hose, and yelled “where is your god now, feel the might of my athiest hose, let its water soak sin into your skin” they started crying and saying “were gonna get our parents and they will call the cops”. Turns out they were “girl scouts” selling “cookies” and now I have a court date. At least I didn’t get witnessed, score one for this athiest

    I wonder which particular cult made this. I’m gonna guess it was the Mormons. I suffered through a JW childhood in the long ago, and this doesn’t seem like their style.

    My parents made me go to Church growing up it’s probably the reason I’m a delinquent, it’s so fucking boring and I felt like my soul was being sucked out of energy

    If you distrust someone because of their religious beliefs, you’re probably a bad person.

    Then again, I don’t trust Christians. Hypocrisy at its finest.

      If someone is claiming God is on their side, then absolutely they should not be trusted.

      A good example was Huckabee’s message to Trump where he says he shouldn’t listen to humble old Huckabee, but he should listen to God, who, coincidentally, is saying exactly the same thing as Huckabee.

      If you have your faith but make no assertions about it’s validity over other opinions nor that it confers divine authority to the words or deeds of any person, cool, I respect that faith. I’m inclined to have some faith myself, but I’m not about to claim any of it is more than my personal wild guesses and hope.

      However organized religion is generally exploitable and bad people take advantage…

      Wait… why? Why is it bad to distrust someone who believes in an invisible friend who grants wishes well into their 30s?

        Its worth noting that most of these people were indoctrinated into their beliefs since they were born, and many of them attend church weekly to reaffirm their beliefs. They were raised surrounded by christians, were told christianity is true, and think that if you question god you will be consciously tortured for eternity. They’re not just a bunch of idiots.

          conversion therapy is not at all the same thing. conversion therapy is usually phycological abuse of already participating religious people who are trying to “convert” their sexual orientation to “normal”.

          to convert someone is to try and get them to join your church.

          they’re very different things.
