My parents are atheists [Spirituality & Religion]

And I hate it. I have heard so many stories of religion helping people and turning lives around (like Malcolm X). I've spoken to many religious people, and I notice that they're much more friendly, smiling, and OPTIMISTIC than secular people.

I feel like I'm too old to be secular anymore. I feel like atheism is a child's fairy tale.

Some atheists are better than others, and some religious people are the opposite.

@SW-User Evidence is lacking for your allegation.

@hippyjoe1955 am I supposed to turn in a article?

hippyjoe1955 · 61-69, M

@SW-User Just reporting my life experiences including the time I was a rabid atheist.

SW-User

@hippyjoe1955 my life with religion and my life without religion was the same except when I wasn't religious I had friends shut me out because of it

@hippyjoe1955 Well that's just it, "your" life experiences doesn't equate to everyone else's so there's no evidence needed.

hippyjoe1955 · 61-69, M

@SatanBurger Oink oink oink. (speaking your native tongue) I am sure you understand now.

SatanBurger · 36-40, F

@hippyjoe1955 When you say evidence is lacking but then describe solely your experiences in life does not equal evidence, it just equals your experience. I'm sure you don't understand which is why you insulted.

SW-User

@hippyjoe1955 you're proving my point

hippyjoe1955 · 61-69, M

@SW-User You have a point?

@hippyjoe1955 some religious people are assholes

hippyjoe1955 · 61-69, M

@SW-User Yes. Muslims kill gays by throwing them from roof tops or hanging them from cranes or crucifying them.

SatanBurger · 36-40, F

@hippyjoe1955 Total red herring, just because some religions throw people from roofs doesn't absolve you from being a total asshole to people.

hippyjoe1955 · 61-69, M

@SatanBurger Look in a mirror then get back to me.

SW-User

@hippyjoe1955 and whatever your faith is, call people pigs

SatanBurger · 36-40, F

@hippyjoe1955 You'll get over the fact I don't aspire to go back to Medieval Christianity like the people I argue with. Still a total red herring based on how you are acting now.

hippyjoe1955 · 61-69, M

@SW-User Nope. I never called anyone a pig. I simply pointed out that I am not going to answer them with wisdom because like swine they are unable to understand it and they simply make things worse for trying.

@hippyjoe1955 How witty, how droll, such a clever retort, worthy of Oscar Wilde.

@hippyjoe1955 Christians kill Christians..just look at the troubles in Northern Ireland.

hippyjoe1955 · 61-69, M

@Entwistle That was a political power struggle. You have yet to provide any evidence that those doing the killing were actually Christians.
