Stopping Pedophila Will Undermine The Catholic Church

I've yet to have an atheist come to my door and try to convert me, hand me pamphlet concerning the way I should worship while I'm walking down the street or tell me if I do not believe in something a certain specific way, I'll be punished in the afterlife.

thats the thing though. mac users and prius drivers are not pushy. theyre just... basically incapable of not bringing up the fact that they use a mac and drive a prius. they just... bring it up everywhere. like, they cant help themselves, like they just have to establish to everyone, all of the time, that they think religion sucks.

i think the problem is that atheists dont have their own church. theists usually have churches so its a designated place for them to congregate and exchange verbal fellatio. but atheists dont, so they have to bring up in every discussion everywhere that theyre atheists in the hopes that someone else in the crowd is like "WHAT YOURE AN ATHEIST? AH MAN, ME TOO! WE'RE SO MUCH SMARTER THAN EVERYONE ELSE!" *chest bump* and everyone else is just like "... >__>"

... i mean as we long as we're making generalizations 😐

From my own experience, I disagree. I've had very few people ever pronounce they're atheist out of the blue and state why it's better or why someone else should be like them. Usually the Athiest will say he/she is, after some religious person tries to impose their view of God, or if the conversation goes to religion or God. Thinking about, I've only ever had one Athiest say "this is the way to go; here's why" during a religious conversation, The norm just stated thay they were and left it at that.

While I've had Christians (mostly), Jews and a few Muslims bring up their beliefs out of nowhere and tell me why their ways and way of thinking is the "right" way to go.

How many Athiest have told you "I'm an Athiest" out of nowhere?

I'm glad we agree it is unsubstantiated generalization ✅

A lot, especially on facebook and at school.

not so much in my own neighborhood now, but i think thats because i live in a much more low class area then i did when i was in SF.

theres a certain irony in that the dirt poor minorities who live here and have screwed up lives have a strong belief in god whereas the prototypical wealthy gays who have everything deny its existence outright. aside from the "hope" factor, i would figure that the people who've repeatedly been screwed throughout their lives would be more cynical of the idea of a divine creator who supposedly "loves" them.

It seems like this conversation started from an out of the blue Atheist admission.

And how does that go down then? People just randomly come up at you and yell "I'm an atheist! You should be too! Only idiots believe in God!"?

Or does it evolve out of the conversation, cause I don't think saying that you are atheist is being particularly preachy or pushy.

Not really ironic.

i never said they were preachy or pushy. in fact that doesnt correlate with anything ive said so far...

Err, guys, it's a topic about moral failings of a Religious institution that claims their morals come from a higher power....not really out of the blue...

i dont understand how the moral failings of a religious institution would automatically lead to a rant about how god doesnt exist and the bible is a book of fairy tails. granted, i agree with the latter, but, i dont see how it relates to the actual topic.

by that logic anything religious in nature is automatically related to anything else thats religion related, from my understanding.

I suppose the notion of the "pushiness" came from Shakya, and my own experience with Mac users as understanding themselves as superior (which you did imply on top of this page). If it is really just about stating what they are, perhaps that could be partly based on being a minority, a believe in God is, at least in the US the standard, so it is not really necessary to state, if it is even true, I personally don't have the same experience, neither on facebook, nor school

okay ✅

im not really sure what to say now.

Well it is definitely one aspect of this particular discussion. In some way any religious topic is of course linked to the possibility that it is not based on truth. But especially in this case, his response, although aggressive, was definitely not unrelated to the topic, it fit rather well into the debate and was not brought up "out of the blue" as moocow stated.

i'll take your word for it; its possible my reading comprehension just sucks.

some invisible man made everything, then he made a man, then he broke off one of that mans ribs and a made a woe-man. Then he locked them in a garden, then a talking snake showed up and told the woman to eat the fruit of a magical tree...bad things happened...then a man showed up turned some water into wine, let the people eat is flesh and drink his blood died, came back, went home, and one day he'll come back again.

Makes perfect sense👆

And that´s just the tip of the ice berg🙂

After reading that article, I just have to post this one.

What I'm trying to figure out is "Are these guys THIS stupid, or is this some kind of ploy?"

Yeah but noticed how it's all the religious people keeping up the fight.

What fight? 😕 Atheism is stupid, there's no fight about that. 😛
