well a lot of them are like vegans. they cant survive unless they tell fucking everyone that theyre atheists, and then they get into a pseudo-scientist debate about religion and gravity or some shit.


personally, i think atheism is just as audacious and stupid as religion, and the more zealous followers are essentially the same thing, but with different beliefs. lack of evidence evidence (atheists), and what you want to believe isnt evidence (religious people). i think its best to be agnostic and not an asshole about it.

I don't disagree. I simply can't ignore that the atheist won't try to strip basic rights of a group of citizens because a book tells him/her that the group is sub-human.

Atheist came out in fucking droves in this thread. Never could understand how they could debate on something so fiercely that isn't supposed to exist. Too funny.

Actually most people just want everyone to be how we think they should be. When we see people who are content in beliefs that conflict with ours we get defensive and upset and start acting like zealots because our belief system is threatened. Atheist, Christian, Muslim, Jew, people who believe the moon landing was real/fake, everyone does it. We are all pretty much exactly the same, but when the things that make us "different' get questioned we flip the fuck out.

I get what you are saying and I know where you are coming from, however what I view as the greatest flaw in that argument is implying that Atheists/skeptics are going on a belief system like the other groups that you've mentioned. No matter how strong someone feels about their belief system, no matter how much they claim to know the "truth", when you deny the facts, you lose that thing known as credibility.

I firmly believe that people should be allowed to worship whatever/however they please with one condition: their faith should end at the tip of their nose and shouldn't affect anyone else in any way.

That's true. If fact they're far more inclined to push for everyone benefitting from human rights.


However.



Even if a doctor can cure you, if he's a giant douche, you're probably goin to ignore his medical knowledge and just think of him as a douche.



Also, lack of proof isn't proof. We should all be reasonable and say "the universe is kinda big and we really dont know what's out there"
