What that means is, that like a lot of Atheist around this has just turned into another "I'm smarter than you because I don't believe that some guy with a beard is in the clouds controlling our lives.". A lot of them are smug (at least in my experience) merely because they believe in what we can see, hear, touch, etc, and they can't be wrong that exists because it's reality. Atheism can be just as judgemental and intolerant as Christianity (or any other religion). My point is, essentially, let bygones be bygones.

I don't like the fact people have lost respect, and don't respect Atheism.

Religious people don't not respect Athiests any more then Athiests disrespect religious people 😬 The reason they were salguhtered bu the thousands is because religious people were and have generally always been in power. If it was the other way around the result would probably be the same, ala Stalin.

Its not the ISM but its practioners.
Atheism merely is merely a concept that doesnt believe in god.
It makes no personal judgements. (Unlike Christianity, which im not singling out, but merely replying to your given example. 🙂 )

I hear you, Blax. Non-believers of the ruler's religious denomination have always have the political shit end of the stick.

Gotta root for the underdog. 🙂

It's probably inevitable the the FSM thread would turn into this.

The site is by atheists, sure. But literally everything on the planet is mocked and/or made fun of by someone. It's just that people are far touchier about religion than most other subjects. If atheism wanted to be more biting and offensive, they'd find a way. But the FSM? That's just good fun.

I saw a web comic that attacked Richard Dawkins and his methods, and didn't get upset (despite agreeing with him on most things). And I even laughed. So why get upset about this? I'd imagine it comes either from a need to be combative if you disagree with their opinions, or it's just that you aren't secure enough in your beliefs. To a truly religiously secure person, anything going on around him in the world is like water off a duck's back....and things only become confrontational and challenging if you let them.

...

In the meantime, I have to go pray, for He has touched me with His noodly appendage.

Of course atheists have very, very valid points. Religious individuals who do not know how to view multiple world views without feeling intimidated often discriminate against aitheists. But nobody speaks for every other believer of his theology.

What type of atheist are you?

Cosign the first part. It's a shorter version of what I said above.

And there's types?!

You make a fair and correct comment. However those kind of people do give Atheism a bad face in their apporach. Just like those preists who molest children.

Well, I believe there are things one can't and shouldn't tolerate. Murder, mind pollution, trauma. Those are things I don't and won't tolerate.

What does that have to do with the topic at hand? You're blatantly slamming your fist down on Christianity and this topic, nor what I ever said in this thread, has NOTHING to do with what you said. If you want to talk about the cons of Christianity do it in one of the more suited threads.

In your opinion.

It's pretty funny and that. I don't think it really matters about it being smug, a lot of humour's smug and that's what this is, it's humour with a message.

It's trying to show Christians how intelligent people see God, as total and utter bollox.

No it isn't, it's trying to show that intelligent design has no place in education, besides in religious education. Do try and actually read the page.
