Wrong, atheists don't believe in gods. Thats different than postulating there is no god, since that's unprovable so it's stupid to accept the burden of proof for a negative assertion. So there's a huge difference.

Atheist: It would be illogical to do Y
Believer: I do Y!

Anyone surprised? Didn't think so.

Take your fingers out of your ears, stop saying LA LA LA and listen - atheists don't claim there are no gods, we state we don't believe in them. Thats it. If there's a super-race out there that has tech indistinguishable from magic atheists express no opinion on that by simply not buying what the Bible thumpers are saying. But "something out there" doesn't have the remotest connection to the reality of your sky daddy.

As for why atheists are often anti-theists, look at my situation - I lost my job because I innocently admitted I was an atheist to a Christian superior. I fear the day I come "out" as an atheist because I could lose my current job, I would get tossed out of Scouts, have my house egged and my tires slashed, and yes even in a civilized country some religious nut could decide I don't need to live.

So sorry that atheists annoy you. Until you religious fucks stop harassing us and passing laws that serve your stupid little delusion, the atheists that can afford to come out are going to be in your fucking face til it's safe for the rest of us. it worked for the LGBTQ crowd, we're up next.

Suck it up buttercup.

Regards,
Mg

The episteme is the ‘apparatus’ which makes possible the separation, not of the true from the false, but of what may from what may not be characterised as scientific.

Not being able to put up a Christmas tree is persecution? Awwww, cupcake!

Yes, you no longer have the privilege of ignoring that everyone else doesn't care about your religion. You no longer have the privilege of forcing everyone else to celebrate your holidays.

That being said, I put up a Christmas tree in my house, and enjoy the holidays as a secular occasions. It's my house, I do what I want. You can do whatever you like in your house. But when it's shared space, you don't get to shit it up with your religious crap.

Regards,
Mg

You have no idea of the origins of Christmas celebrations do you? Something that is inherently religious can never become unreligious. It would have to be disregarded as a whole. By participating in the religious customs of Christmas you are validating the pagan worship of the progenitors of the Christmas celebration.

Big on privileged are we. You should feel so privileged to live in western nation traditionally identified with Christianity that puts up with minority atheist bullshit. You relish twisting a nations laws to allow room for your lack of belief even so far as demanding others not participate so as not to offend your sensibilities. Last time I checked people stopped forcing conversion at the end of a sword hundreds of years ago (westerners) so who exactly is forcing you to deal with all of this? Oh noez you heard a Christmas jingle. Oh noez you got to take off work for a holiday you dont believe in? Heavens no you mean strangers gave you gifts out of the kindness of their hearts? Take that pariah complex somewhere else. Atheist like other special interest groups don't actually want equality they want special privileges and to be seen as dominant.
