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.

I suspect the pope would be asked to resign if he became an Atheist.

It would be just as valid for me, or many other Atheists, to say I was once a proud christian. Then reality hit and I came to realize the nonsense that is christianity is not capable of explaining anything. Christianity is a complete intellectual wasteland. Have fun being foolish.

@rob19 You were the one that brought up your past. The fact is you were likely never a Christian. You were raised by parents that went to church a lot. That aside atheism is a brain dead religion. It answers nothing including its own existence. It speaks volumes about those who are atheists and their lack of intellectual integrity.

@hippyjoe1955 "secretary of the Atheists association of Kenya"

No, I didn’t hear about that, but perhaps you have a reference?

@hippyjoe1955 "brain dead religion”?? how is atheism a religion?
hippyjoe1955 · 61-69, M
@sputnik Yes atheism is a religion. Religion is defined as a set of beliefs one holds to. Atheists hold to atheism. Therefore their religion is atheism.

@hippyjoe1955 what are the beliefs of atheism?
sputnik · 70-79, M
@hippyjoe1955 do you have a reference for that Kenya thing?
hippyjoe1955 · 61-69, M
@sputnik I saw it on the internet the other day. Some news service somewhere. I am sure duck duck go can get you to the articles.

@hippyjoe1955 yeah, well, apparently you can’t, so why should I bother?

and atheism’s beliefs are what?

@hippyjoe1955 "do your own research”. It’s not my research, it’s your research, and apparently you haven’t done it. Too lazy, huh? Just making something up is easier, I suppose.

Who said I believe there’s no god? is that your view of atheism, is it? Is it something else you just made up? it’s wrong

If childish insults are the best you have to offer, you may as well give up now. You've already lost the debate and are only harming your cause.
hippyjoe1955 · 61-69, M
@rob19 That is not a childish insult. As a former atheist I can attest to the truth in that statement. Atheism is a brain dead religion that forbids the open investigation of many lines of inquiry.

@hippyjoe1955 😂😂😂😂..a former atheist...

You never were an atheist to begin with...

See how that sounds..

Peas be unto you...
hippyjoe1955 · 61-69, M
@SW-User And you never were intelligent. It shows with your silly post. Let me guess it took you two days to dream up that bit of nonsense.
rob19 · M
@hippyjoe1955 So, childish insults are all you have to offer. Thanks for confirming that.

Hi might be referring to this -
https://religionnews.com/2019/10/24/kenyan-atheist-demands-quakers-revoke-his-membership/

It's old news and the opposite of what he claims but it's par for the course for him. 🤣
hippyjoe1955 · 61-69, M
@SW-User What math are you talking about? I don't recall anyone except you talking about math. Very strange. You do have issues don't you?

@hippyjoe1955 Your memory is failing too then.

@hippyjoe1955 I reacted to a post you created a few hours ago
Your subtraction regarding the 2 days..

Way off...

Slipping old man...

@SW-User You think that my lack of paying attention to dates and times is somehow a math error? Wow. You have the intellect of a gnat. I apologize to gnats everywhere for the comparison.
sputnik · 70-79, M
@rob19 it looks like he was just making up stuff about Kenyan atheists, so made up the opposite of reality.

What’s that called, I wonder?

@SW-User I suspect he's just trolling. Note the vague allusions to "facts", scientific and otherwise, that, for some reason, he can't provide links to or even say where they can be found.

He tells opponents to "do your own reasearch", overlooking the fact that we often already have and that's how we know he's wrong.
