Why are athiests so damn annoying [Spirituality & Religion]

Who are they to force you to believe in their non belief
Adaydreambeliever · 56-60, F
They don't force you to believe anything.. they merely point out the facts and illogic of most religion. They hope, I believe to allow the religious person to wake up and see the truth.
#On the other hand many religious people DO actively try to force others to believe their claptrap.
@SeadragonPrincess What difference does it make ? You have reasons for not liking cats. Other people have reasons for disliking reptiles. It’s all the same. And [b]some[/b] people want equality among [b]human beings[/b], which doesn’t include animals.
SeadragonPrincess · 26-30, F
The reason i am against cats is because people let them outside and they’re invasive...and just don’t let them outside to cause more extinction @bijouxbroussard
@SeadragonPrincess And some people fear reptiles because certain species are actually dangerous to human beings.
BlueMetalChick · 26-30, F
Why is it always religious people who bitch and whine about atheists even when they're silent? We don't want anything from you except to be left alone.
BlueMetalChick · 26-30, F
@SeadragonPrincess Buddy I'm not sure what part of the world you live in but where I'm from, dragons are denied by pretty much everyone, regardless of religious faith.
Bushranger · 70-79, M
@BlueMetalChick How about water dragons and bearded dragons just to name two 🤣
BlueMetalChick · 26-30, F
@Bushranger My sister used to have a bearded dragon.

When you have entire countries making it illegal to be LGBT because of their religion (both Muslim, Christian, Catholic etc.) When they stop doing that, then you'll have a point.
newjaninev2 · 56-60, F
In fact, 'atheism' is a term that should not even exist. No one ever needs to identify himself as a 'non-astrologer' or a 'non-alchemist'. We do not have words for people who doubt that Elvis is still alive or that aliens have traversed the galaxy only to molest ranchers and their cattle. Atheism is nothing more than the noises reasonable people make in the presence of unjustified religious beliefs.

@newjaninev2 well said!!

@newjaninev2 👏✌
SatanBurger · 36-40, F
Exactly, i mean look at all the imperialist propaganda, called “proselytizing” and “evangelism” they’ve created in the name of no god.

They conquered countless indigenous peoples and forced them to look at....


Oh wait 😐

Wrong story, sorry
@SeadragonPrincess downright prejudice!

Those semi peaceful religions need a shrouded but infamous reputation too.
SeadragonPrincess · 26-30, F
@BigbangFACTS We draconians don't go around killing people for not being part of our cause. I mean we know ALL faiths exist, ALL gods, ALL creatures of myth, perhaps not all in this one world but it isn't the only world that exists. We are open to anything. Yeah we kill but mainly to eat
@SeadragonPrincess interesting religion
SW-User
Some people, theists or non theists are annoying and will try and push their beliefs. Having said that i regularly get door knocks from the religious folk with some even coming from the other side of the world just to tell me about their beliefs, but have never had an atheist do this.
Harriet03 · 41-45, F
[image deleted]Next question 🤷‍♀️
whowasthatmaskedman · 70-79, M
And when was the last time Atheist Missionaries turned up on your doorstep?
BlueMetalChick · 26-30, F
@whowasthatmaskedman Or a group of nonbelievers ventured into the Amazon rain forest in an attempt to convert native peoples to atheism?
I know. But atheists need love, too. Especially. By and large they seem to be unhappy people.
BlueMetalChick · 26-30, F
@SeadragonPrincess I was implying that you're on drugs but I guess that went over your head lol
SeadragonPrincess · 26-30, F
@BlueMetalChick Oh. I'm not on drugs you know. I'm super sober.
Bushranger · 70-79, M
High on life as a dragon lol.
Harriet03 · 41-45, F
Evidence seems to bother them 🤷‍♀️
Really · 80-89, M
Some do, some don't (like me f'rinstance.) Same goes for Christians and an endless list of other religions and belief systems. So your premise is false although your annoyance is doubtless real.
ArtieKat · M
Anybody who holds strong views and is evangelistic is going to annoy people of contrary beliefs.
ArtieKat · M
@SeadragonPrincess zealously advocating a particular cause; campaigning.
"an almost evangelistic zeal for the product"
SeadragonPrincess · 26-30, F
@ArtieKat i'm dragonkin...and my gods are alduin and tiamat, Two parents I have, as a dragon, also of chaos.
ArtieKat · M
@SeadragonPrincess Good luck :-)
Bushranger · 70-79, M
As an atheist, I'm not going to try to convince you to not follow your belief, but I will argue with you if you tell me yours is the only true belief.
And yet, do they generally knock on people's doors or travel to foreign lands trying to convert anyone ? Are there atheist [b]missionaries[/b], for example ? 🤔
plinkplonk · F
This happens to me never.
Fernie · F
you are SO confused dear
Harriet03 · 41-45, F
It's like they've got 1000s of buildings everywhere, indoctrinating people!!!!!
They must be stopped 🤷‍♀️
wakanda4eva · 26-30, F
@Harriet03 a lot of people imprisoned have found hope afterwards through religion when no one else wanted em.
Harriet03 · 41-45, F
@wakanda4eva A lot of people escape into fantasy!!
wakanda4eva · 26-30, F
@Harriet03 i mean true to an extent haha, isnt that what most come online on sw for
tindrummer · M
if they can force you then your faith is pretty weak
[c=#359E00]it's a nature of atheis that they won't satisfied/happy until you become one of them. Better not getting to involved with them[/c]
whowasthatmaskedman · 70-79, M
@YukikoAmagi Actually there is a good chance I know more about it than you do. Having read up on the three major franchises of the God of Abraham, and a little Buddhism to boot. (That one actually makes more sense that your "Father in the Sky" ones). But all in all this is my take. No matter what god you worship. If he is omnipotent and omnipresent and and allows some of the crap to go down as happens every day, then he is either not there, or some kind of sick psychotic pervent who gets his yucks out of that kind of thing and I am sure as hell not going to bow down before that. You want to continue this??
@whowasthatmaskedman [c=#359E00]this is exactly my point. Atheist wont satisfied until i become one of them. Thank you for give perfect example, people need to see this[/c]
whowasthatmaskedman · 70-79, M
@YukikoAmagi No You missed my point. You can be as ignorant as you like. Just stay off my front porch with your bible and dont tell me how to live my life and I wont even think twice about your priest unless he starts messing with kids.
greenmountaingal · 70-79, F
Actually, anyone who goes on a rant about their beliefs knowing ahead of time that you have a different belief is very annoying.
SeadragonPrincess · 26-30, F
@greenmountaingal It isn't much of a rant to say me personally, I believe in dragons due to personal experiences, I myself am a holder of a dragon soul, and speak as one too. That just makes athiest just freak out
greenmountaingal · 70-79, F
@SeadragonPrincess People who freak out about other people's beliefs are neither wise nor tactful and probably basically insecure about their own beliefs.
SeadragonPrincess · 26-30, F
@greenmountaingal or none belief. I have no clue why atheist seem to be so damn stuck up. Even those who claim to be scientists just spout back pre writen stuff as if it was written in stone. They never go out and look for their own stuff.
xixgun · M
It's not so much that, as their acting like my belief somehow infringes or causes some hardship to them.

I don't rush to discuss my religious beliefs with others, I have never told anyone they are going to Hell for their actions, I have never said, "Let me tell ya about Jesus!".

I keep my beliefs to myself, not because I'm ashamed, but because I don't want some asshole screaming at me when the closest thing I ever did to sharing my beliefs with them was to say, "God bless you" when they sneezed.
JoeyFoxx · 51-55, M
I’m an atheist, but generally I say “bless you” or “god bless you” to be polite.

I think we should stop characterizing people with broad strokes.


@xixgun
SW-User
Yeah. Many atheists can be just as annoying with their beliefs as their theist counterparts.
TacoCat · 22-25, M
Both sides religious and athiests have their own share of people who do that shit
wakanda4eva · 26-30, F
I agree some are really annoying, and act like only religious ppl do it when plenty of athiests shove their "facts" down religious ppl throats that God doesnt exist, resorting to also name calling to prove a point when 90% of the earths population believes in a religion.
wakanda4eva · 26-30, F
@YukikoAmagi yeah I've seen 😒 and they claim religious ppl are the aggressive ones, seems like just a fad to maks themself feel included in a group, I dont think they ever even were forced by a religious person to believe their faith as well, like any teaching u can take it with a grain of salt.
wakanda4eva · 26-30, F
@wakanda4eva [c=#359E00]yes.. it's just their excuse to counter-claim so they can justified their aggresivity. Seriously.. in my entire 34 years of life in my country i never see or heard religion forcing those atheist to follow our teaching[/c]
DearAmbellina2113 · 41-45, F
I get where you're coming from. My fiance is an atheist and I'm an Episcopalian Christian. We respect one another's views but sometimes he goes on atheistic rants and it irks me. Lol
greenmountaingal · 70-79, F
@DearAmbellina2113 It may bother you more when you're married.
greenmountaingal · 70-79, F
@DearAmbellina2113 ...And a [i]lot[/i] more if you have any conflicts on this subject regarding your children.
Imsleepy · 31-35
I’ve never forced anyone to believe or not believe in anything. I respect that you have a right to believe whatever you’d like, however, I do not respect the belief itself, if it is irrational, which is nearly always the case.
FreestyleArt · 31-35, M
they always do...If they think they have no god then the only solution of their problems...blaming Christians and hoping to be self center of their own opinions for crowds. just weak
QuixoticSoul · 41-45, M
@FreestyleArt Lmao wat
FreestyleArt · 31-35, M
@QuixoticSoul you hear me don't lie

Now I never heard an atheist make claims like that once.

When I come to US was first time encounter athiests and I don't know how to respond to them. I just stay quiet.

@YukikoAmagi 😄Cuaca dingin di sininya. Aku tak suka musim dingin. I want home.

Athiests not so bad. Just don't want a trouble.

GodSpeed63 · 61-69, M
There are no such people that are atheists except those lying 6 feet under their headstones. As long as these skeptics are alive, they'll believe in some type of god and have faith in that god.
GodSpeed63 · 61-69, M
@BlueMetalChick [quote]So you accept Jesus as lord and savior? You're religious. You hold a religious belief. [/quote]

Religion has nothing with Christ being my Lord and Savior. You want to know what God thinks about man made religion? Read Matthew 23 and then read James 1:27.
BlueMetalChick · 26-30, F
@GodSpeed63 The irony. You're trying to condemn man made religion by pointing me to...scripture, which is man made religion. Who wrote Matthew 23 and James 1:27? Matthew and James did. And they were men.

Stop lying to yourself. You're a religious man. You have religious faith, like every other Christian, like every other Jew and Hindu and even Wiccans, your beliefs are religious and therefore you are religious people. You don't get to proclaim yourself the exception because you think it's "the truth." That isn't the definition of the word.
GodSpeed63 · 61-69, M
@BlueMetalChick [quote]Who wrote Matthew 23 and James 1:27? Matthew and James did. And they were men.[/quote]

You're wrong. God wrote His Word through them. He loves working with His creation.
Theliberal · 36-40, M
They aren't annoying just like anyone of religion. Anyone can be annoying but it's usually the extremists who are. The annoying are the ones who like to bitch and point fingers at religious people like they they are dumb for their belief. There are also those who religious fanatics who believe your an idiot if you dont agree with them. Both extremist ends are fools and need to grow up.
PrivatePeeks · 26-30, F
Because they're often just as pitiful at reasoning.
monte3 · 70-79, M
I have never had an atheist shove some paper in my hand and ask me if I am saved! Like some ( but admittedly very few) born agains. 99.97% of both sides leave you alone. But maybe I just look beyond hope to both sides.
GodSpeed63 · 61-69, M
@monte3 What do you believe, friend?
monte3 · 70-79, M
I am a practicing Catholic.@GodSpeed63
GodSpeed63 · 61-69, M
@monte3 Really? I used to be Catholic until I met Jesus and asked Him into my heart and life. Then, I became a born again believer.
yeronlyman · 51-55, M

Big ego's and know it all's. It's why they can't believe in a God. Cause of ego.
newjaninev2 · 56-60, F
@SW-User What does belief (or non-belief, for that matter) have to do with it?

1. there's no proof that gods exist (otherwise we'd all be theists)
2. there's no proof that gods don't exist (they might be lurking around a mountain-top somewhere)
3. in any event, there's [i]no compelling necessity[/i] to even postulate gods, and the postulation explains nothing... it merely tries to explain everything away.
4. therefore, I have no gods... I'm an agnostic atheist

Not a belief (or non-belief) in sight

To them it’s real and what if it happens to be? Why not let them keep believing it? Honestly @Emosaur
