  • Atheism has a “bad name” insofar as it can be said to have because theists in general and abrahamic religions in particular tend to believe that disbelief is immoral in and of itself and that without fear of punishment or hope of reward users will be less moral. In fact disbelief is morally neutral and atheists are on average more moral people because real morality is virtually always rooted in empathy, guilt, and shame not fake rewards.


  • If I invite you to try a butt plug and you decide you don’t that sort of thing I shall not insist you try a range of sizes and shapes and shall instead accept your assertion that you don’t like the category of thing on your word as you are the foremost authority on you. If someone tells you they don’t believe that the universe has a sentient first cause available for consultation or prayer I shall accept their word that they are in fact an atheist.



  • I didn’t say that Christians only existed in the US. I said that the behavior you are complaining about is a direct symptom of participating in English language forums dominated by US users who are expressing their experience with the dominant religion in their area that does most of the “outreach” to try to convince atheists that their imaginary friend will torture them for eternity if you don’t believe in them.


  • You are angry that atheists are very expressive of their disdain for Christianity. Most people you as an english speaker interact with on most online spaces are liable to be chock full of Americans whose primary negative view of religions are formed by interactions with Christians both because Christians are very vocal and very negative. Do you actually need a citation for the English using web being heavily biased towards the 338,000,000 Americans? If you find your way to the appropriate forums you could find angsty teens complaining about Hinduism or Islam.


  • Nobody but mathematicians speak in proofs. Not X just means I have sufficient reason to Believe X is either explicitly false or insupportable such that I am confident in my position.

    I could dish out an encyclopedia of fabrications that you couldn’t prove or disprove mad libs style without sense or sanity and you could still confidently call me full of shit.

    With every other position maybe X doesnt mean I cannot write a math proof that X is false it means there is a reasonable chance of X and yet when someone says not God 12 people discover an entire different standard.

    When I say not god I don’t mean maybe god nor do I regard this as an extraordinary position.








  • Masks were mandated during a global pandemic that killed millions of people and went away when 4000 people weren’t dying per day. Proof of vaccination, an extremely safe thing, was a thing because inconsiderate people like you who refused to slow the spread might come to work with a “sniffle” that would kill your vulnerable coworkers and clients.
