I Think Self-superior Atheists Are Annoying

(Atheist myself but I don't like the term because it make me feel associated with the bad apples)

I think people who impulsively need to harass people and "own" a debate about religion, how we came to be, how planets were made, etc. with every believers they meet have a disorder or mental illness.

"Hey let's have a meeting we just talk about how christians are retarded for believing in the invisible man in the sky"
"Let's tweet about every joke we make"
"And laugh of every christians we see"
"And tweet about them too!"

Stop it, you're not an intellectual or clever, you're just annoying as hell, you're an immature bully and a jerkbutt and if you think you are converting anyone to your side, you're just pissing them off. Don't talk about science and bring up your "facts", it doesn't matter, you're still awful.

[u]SuperCute[/u], either one has gods, or one does not.
There aren’t degrees of that… it’s either/or (after all, you can’t be a little bit pregnant).

Doubting someone else’s claims isn’t atheism, because the claims made by others don’t form the basis of definition.

I have no gods. As I said earlier, there’s no proof either way, and there’s no compelling necessity to even make the proposition, so it can be ignored. Until someone shows a compelling necessity, we can continue to ignore the proposition, and [i]any[/i] claims made around it.

Consequently, I don’t doubt the claims made by theists… such claims don’t even achieve that level of significance. They can be simply ignored.
As Wolfgang Pauli said about a student’s work:
“Not only is it not right… it isn’t even wrong”

You write “proof either way is impossible…”, but it’s not impossible to have proof either way… it just hasn’t happened yet.
As I said below:
1. there's no proof that gods exist
2. there's no proof that gods don't exist
3. in any event, gods are unnecessary, and the postulation explains nothing... it merely tries to explain everything away.
4. therefore, I have no gods
Please note that I’m not making any claims here, so there’s [b]no burden of proof[/b].

In like vein, gnostic and agnostic are simply adjectives that specify whether or not one claims to have specific knowledge about a topic.
On any subject, one is either gnostic or agnostic (it’s the pregnancy thing again).
In my little list above, the first two items result in the adjective ‘agnostic’, and it’s item ([b]3[/b]) that brings me to atheism.

This should make things clearer than do these brief notes:
