Atheism is a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma

[media=https://youtu.be/g6MrktRKfJU]
Besides being personal very disappointed I like to point out that this posting wasn't and isn't for the amusement of all the stupid atheists on here who can't even be bothered to view this clip to its very end. No, but it does show though that some of them will never respect different opinions nor the actual existance of difference, so I have decided to end their utter stupidity and hatred towards my rights as an individual in using here and now my ownership of this posting to delete anyone's statement that is contrary to Article 18 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights:

"Everyone has the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion; this right includes freedom to change his religion or belief, and freedom, either alone or in community with others and in public or private, to manifest his religion or belief in teaching, practice, worship and observance."

If you can't stand that freedom either then opt out for a still existing communist country. Cheers! 馃榿

Nonsense.
It鈥檚 a rejection of the supernatural in favor of the more realistic natural
Simple really.

@DocSavage Oh yes, very simplistic you are there. It's denying the right of people to worship and that's called dictatorship

@val70
When have we ever stopped you ?
val7051-55
@DocSavage Like in reacting violenty and full of hatred by some on here, even saying up front that they haven't watched the clip in question. I call that being fanatical and I don't need that

@val70 Is that why you deleted my post? I wasn't being "violent" at all. It seems like you can't take criticism.
val7051-55
@FragileHeart As I told already you on here, you're bullying a person and that's violence. I have the absolute right to state my religious believes and not to be told that I need to correct those. I have the right to post a clip in which that is stated beforehand and why non-believers, gentiles or atheists are wrong in persuing in this madness of trying to take away well established religious rights of people everywhere on this planet except, of course, in the obvious countries of so-called marvellous exception that don't even recognize religion or the rights of the individual as such
FragileHeart22-25, M
@val70 I never said you need to change your religious beliefs but as an atheist I feel obligated to correct a misrepresentation. Atheism is not about taking away religious freedom. What religious rights are being taken away? A majority in western countries are Christians although secularism is on the rise in European countries. I don't see your rights being attacked and again I never attacked your religious beliefs.

@FragileHeart I've said it all, and so did the clip. Why are atheists these days reacted to us so violently is indeed the question, not if a bad maths teacher needs to be corrected or even removed
FragileHeart22-25, M
@val70 I don't see the violence I am sorry. Please elaborate I would like to understand where you are coming from. Criticising religion is also not the same as violence and does not infringe your human rights. Any idea should be able to be criticised.
Why do religious people act violently towards gay people? I have never even considered being religious because of the persecution people like me had to endure.
val7051-55
@FragileHeart Like I already explained bullying people is an act of violence. It can be defined as unwanted, aggressive behaviour which involves a real or perceived imbalance of power. Telling me that I'm far from being in the sunshine of reason, well, takes that biscuit alright. In fact, telling me about twenty or more times that I need to accept that a bad maths teacher needs to be removed that's one entire cake of bullying and thus violence
FragileHeart22-25, M
@val70 I'm truly sorry you had a bad experience with Emosaur this is not the way I argue.
He neither speaks for all Atheists nor does he treat people differently in say discussions about politics.
Still seeing within an ugly argument between people online an infringement on your human rights is far fetched. Harrassment? Sure but don't blow it out of proportion. I don't do that either every time someone calls me a fag
val7051-55
@FragileHeart Somehow you forget where this all starts and ends up in. I've often spoken up for the rights of different kinds of people inside my own church. Got blocked on here by someone because I did that because on the issue of homosexual priests. Everyone needs to do his/her bit. No, I don't accept that demanding respect is far fetched at all. This is why I posted my clip and this is something that needs to be accepted by everyone
FragileHeart22-25, M
@val70 Demanding respect is the right thing asbolutely.
I'm a cultural scientist and see great issue in your clip. It's one dimensional and from a christian perspective. It has no objective worth since it was created with a set bias in mind.
val7051-55
@FragileHeart Your thoughts entirely, but there you go again... lovely line by the way... "no objective worth since it was created with a set bias in mind". Gosh, it's those creepy religious people again. How come such a tiny minority still exists? Well, perhaps with the end solution they'll be none left
FragileHeart22-25, M
@val70 Atheists creating the same video about Christians would be biased too.
You keep depicting yourself and christians as victims. No one in western countries argues for genocide you seem very lost and paranoid. Religious people are not a minority!!!

I don't agree with or believe in the things christians believe and as long as it doesn't affect my life or the way a country is run I try not to get involved but when it's about Atheism I do want to argue.
val7051-55
@FragileHeart Again, you're wrong. You keep believing in your thoughts, and I'll have my own pratical experiences just like bullying is indeed violence and that happens the most to practising believers these days. Almost every month there's somewhere in a church, temple or mosque a violent incident against practising believers. No such luck for practising atheists

@val70 Individuals religious beliefs are declining in the west that is accurate yet most are still somewhat associated to christianity like being part of a denomination without active participation and it's widely accepted in western societies.
I'm sorry that there is harrassment
There is no such thing as a practicing atheist though but as an openly gay man I had my fair share of religion based discrimination.

@FragileHeart Sorry to hear about that, but then I'm a lesbian librarian. Greyhaired, seen it all and firm in her believes
