I guess... I'll join? My parents and grand-parents started calling me an atheist after me and one of my friends found a scientifical explanation to the birth of jesus.
meh, religion started out ok, except it lowered women and controlled education from like medieval times to the 20th century. it instilled good morals, but it all spinned downhill with priests turning the dime to themselves, churches getting built from cement and stuff and gold, when in the bible they clearly stated that god wanted just a small prayer thingy made from crude rocks.
kinda contradictive.
anyways, sup.

So how many of us do things just 'cause you're an asshole at times?
Just the past sunday, my friend dressed up as the devil and ran right into chruch when they all sat down.

Anybody do things like this?

I know it's a real asshole-ish thing to do. But... It's fun.

Seeing as how churches outside of former homes to Vikings are usually made of stone, that would be exceedingly difficult.

To my knowledge, christianity is the only religion to be used for mass subjugation. I hate how people who are atheists think theyre better than people who are religious. You are just like religious extremists who put down those who dont believe in the same things. Dont malign all religion because you dont know shit about all religions.

Indeed, once a person gets going they burn really well and if it gets hot enough they explode.

Of course flammable liquid always helps :)

Or just do it the lazy mans way stick a flare into plastic gas can and light the fucker.

Welcome.

Ok, this is to everyone who is reading this message!!!!!!! I demand your attention

If you look at my blog entries (which you probably wont) you'll see that I'm now basing it on Atheism and religion in general.

For my next entry I want to post about people stereotyping Atheists, and atheist myths. Which are basically things like the claims that:
"Atheists are immoral"
"Atheists are only atheists because they want to sin"
"Atheists are illogical and naturally stupid (Which is why they are atheist)"

And other shit like that

I'll possibly mention discrimination against atheism, but I may or may not include it.

So I'm asking all of you, if you've had any experiences in real life or on the internet where someone has stereotyped you.

Thanks.

I love how things like quoting Marx makes you an atheist who's a religious extremist and maligns all religion. What arrogant bastards we are.

What makes religious people jump down your throat, I think, is they hate that there's rational people who honestly disagree with what they believe, for rational reasons, and that they only believe it on faith and therefore take it as a big attack for normal people to honestly disagree with them.

Not in the UK, really, have I undergone any real torment; there has been a time when I've unfortunately stumbled into a religious argument with a drunk student somehow on a bus back from a night out, whereupon they've got a lot more angry with me after telling them I'm atheist.

Yeah about half of the UK are Atheists, I suppose I should be looking towards Americans since the amount over there is 12%

I hate how religious people look down upon Atheists and think they're "Ignorent lost sheep, who have no morals and are psychopathic monsters because God teaches goodness" See? I can jackass as well.

Not all Atheists think they're better than religious people, Atheists simply ask questions that religious people don't because it threatens their chances of getting into heaven.

Besides, most Atheists (especially in America) know more about religion because so many religious people over there see Atheists as 'Evil' and attack atheist beliefs. So atheists need something to fire back with. Also most religious people tend to 'skip' parts in the bible that doesn't make sense or has been scientifically disproven (where Atheists people would read the whole thing)

I remember a man once saying when he was a Christian he always missed parts of the Bible out, and when he finally did read those parts he became an Atheist shortly thereafter. And it was because he questioned the bible, he questioned God and when does that, they either force themselves to stick with or become an Atheists (or agnostic)

Once again, only christians.

Christianity is only one religion, but since its the largest western religion, you guys think its the only religion out there. Eastern religions dont jump down your throat at all. Hinduism accepts all beliefs into its religion, relating what you personally believe into the basic beliefs of their religion (e.g. they believe that jesus was vishnu in a form that fit into the culture of the western world and was able to preach to those people). Buddhism is an atheist religion (at least in its original sect), but it doesnt preach to those who dont want to hear it.

Stop generalizing and hating every religion.

You have a point. Im generalizing atheists just as some (note the SOME) atheists generalize religious people. I think when I flame about how atheists always look at religion with a frown, Im talking about the 13-14 year old angsty people who beccome atheists to piss off their parents or resist their religious society. The atheist population who arent just pissing at religion are some of the most intellegent sounding people I know.

Then again some religious people are really wise and know what they are talking about. The funny thing is, the really intellegent religious people Ive talked with dont use religion as a argument in their debates; they came to their wisdom through religion and used the wisdom, not the religion.

I guess I came into this thread thinking that everyone posting in it were the pissy rebelious teens who didnt know shit about anything.

They're might be my friend, they're might be.

It is very hard not to generalize someone when people have different levels of intelligence and different beliefs. I try not to generalize Christianity because I know there are 33,000 different denominations and even inside these denominations people believe slightly different things.

It ALLL depends on who you are talking to and your state of mind at the time the debate was set.

Even look at my blog, all the myths and stereotypes in bold are things people actually think are true.

Belief (Or the lack of) varies from person to person.

Yes, belief does very from person to person. In my mind, religion and philosophy are different approaches to answering the same fundamental questions. Some people are preset to think religiously and some are meant to think philosophically, and people have to respect both kinds of thought.
