I Am An Atheist

I was brought up a christian and indoctrinated with christianity at school but I can't say I ever believed any of that rubbish. None of it makes any sense. I don't care if people want to believe that stuff, the only problem I have is with those pushy aggressive nutters who try to force their beliefs onto me.

So did you hear about the secretary of the Atheists association of Kenya? He had to quit after he became a Christian. I was once a proud atheist. Then reality hit and I came to realize the nonsense that is atheism is not capable of explaining anything. Atheism is a complete intellectual wasteland. Have fun being foolish.

@sputnik Don't hold your breathe waiting for a straight answer from him. He doesn't have the education to blind you with science but he can baffle you with bullshit.
sputnik · 70-79, M
@rob19 Yup, he’s known for it and when the bull doesn’t work he just runs away and blocks everyone and crawls back later with the same bull.

@sputnik I predict a personal attack coming...
Followed by another “yahweh did it”
You are a fool, if you can’t understand it.

This is my biggest complaint about atheists. Believe what you want but leave me alone.

Atheists has a propensity to proselytize.
hippyjoe1955 · 61-69, M
@hlpflwthat Yes I am a Christian. We are discussing atheists.

@hippyjoe1955 Actually you aren't 'discussing' shit - just taking one of your typical hypocritical potshots at someone who isn't 'like you.'

@hippyjoe1955 ...sorry I am late to this...I was street preaching for rational thought....

What have you done for gawd today?
Christians have no issue about sharing their “feelings “
Even when no spiritual reference is needed...
I am not an atheist.

And I agree with you.

In my life religion has been the source of some of the most vicious and inhumane treatment of others. From money to shenanigans to normalized sexual abuse to what I would call the violence of guilt and manipulation. That isn’t a blanket indictment. If the shoe fits people should wear it. Otherwise— nothing here.

I have come to believe that the wall between church and state needs to be made of kryptonite. And that religion should have no exalted or protected status in society beyond one’s right to assemble. It should be as subject to scrutiny, criticism and social comment as anything else in a pluralistic modern society.

Likewise! Even I don't like folks who enforce their religious beliefs on others. I don't like spiritual educators either! However, I keep this to myself.

I respect all religions but believe in none. I just believe in the existance of God (the divine light)!

One should keep his/her belief to himself/herself. It's completely one's choice which religion, faith or belief the he/she would embrace. Simple!🙂

So how are you going to explain yourself to Odin when you meet Him at the Doors to Valhalla?

@Sharon I won't have too. Jesus Christ is GOD.

Then you're in for one Hell of a shock! Good luck, you'll need it.

Why are you an atheist, and not an agnostic?
hippyjoe1955 · 61-69, M
@bystander He who is with out sin let him cast the first stone. Look what you posted. Too Funny!!!!

@hippyjoe1955 a. new. low.
hippyjoe1955 · 61-69, M
@sputnik For you?
SW-User
I used to be an athiest. Life is weird sometimes. I used to sound like you . To each their own .Live and let live 😌
You are an Atheist - so you feel that it's right to post a cross with a circle and a line going through it ? - No class. Not even by Atheist standards 🚫
@rob19 Na...you don't
rob19 · M
@MarmeeMarch Is that really the best rebuttal you can offer?
@rob19 Yep....all I've got.
I feel the same, really. The proselytizing gets to me. And here I wish people would keep it in specific groups, so those who aren’t interested can avoid it. I’ve muted a few people who feel the need to hold Bible class in the Miscellaneous and Community categories. You posted this in the group that indicates your point of view so that anyone who chooses to read it knows right away where you’re coming from, which should be respected.
If you don't beleive in God then that's that. People really shouldn't force their beliefs on you though because that's just not right.
hippyjoe1955 · 61-69, M
@Citrusflavour So who put up the initial post and why is he trying to force his views on everyone else?

That's the problem, christians are too pushy. Apart from all their proselytizing here, they also harrass people in public and even in their own homes. No other religous group that I'm aware of behaves like that.
Rolexeo · 26-30, M
Woe is you, your parents instilled their values onto you as all parents do
rob19 · M
@Rolexeo Actually my parents are not practising christians and didn't really push it onto me. They would usually say they and I were "C of E" if asked because, being white English people, "of course we're christians". It was the school that tried to indoctrinate us with christianity.
Sharon · F
@rob19 Many people of my parents generation seemed to think that being white and British automatically made one a christian. Even fairly recently I heard someone assert that it was a legal requirement to have a christian priest conduct a funeral service. They did, eventually, concede that there was an exemption for "foreigners". :(
suzie1960 · 61-69, F
I'm much the same. If people want to believe in fairy tales and magical men-in-the-sky it's fine by me. I just don't like them trying to force their delusions onto me or deceiving others, especially children.
Sharon · F
@Baremine [quote]There is so much proof in history the Jesus Christ is real. [/quote]
Such as? Despite christians repeatedly claiming that, not one has ever been able to produce any extra biblical evidence to support it. Are you going to be the first to do so?
rob19 · M
@Baremine [quote]you are so wrong.[/quote]
Simply saying I'm wrong proves nothing. If evidence exists, let's see it.
Sharon · F
@rob19 [quote]If evidence exists, let's see it.[/quote]

I've been asking them for years to present their evidence. They claim they have heaps of it but they've never managed to present the slightest shred of it.
Crazywaterspring · 61-69, M
So long as they leave me alone I don't care what bronze age b.s. they follow. Those with shopping mall sized churches and political involvement are another story.
Fernie · F
Just like when godbots come on here and spew their religious crap by quoting the buybull annoys me...as an Atheist, I'm annoyed at you for doing the exact same thing here. Why do you feel you have to broadcast it? How is this any different than the people you speak of? Could this not be labeled as "shoving it down people's throats?"...the very thing we hate when religious people do it? Are you 19 Rob?
@HoraceGreenley
I think it captures your very essence. 😉
Admit that you are attracted to socialism!

Dad, didn't the Jedi kill all the Socialists?

He isn’t your father!
Repete · 61-69, M
I guess I looked silly for saying my opinion and got blocked I think . Sorry if I offended anyone else . But I'll stay with my opinion at least for now.
@Repete No, what you said was reasonable, I thought.

@HoraceGreenley You either didn't see the obscenities I deleted above or don't care that children might read them. I want this thread to remain family safe.
Sharon · F
@rob19 They think childish insults are a valid substitute for reasoned argument. When that doesn't work they get frustrated, becoming more and more abusive.
