The Positively Atheist Thread

[Bjornebye]

Anyone got anything positive to say about them there Atheists? They get left out of stuff all the time. 

[ZonkoVille77]

They love fingering goats, apparently

There are old and new ones apparently, and militants often take to Twitter!!!

I'm an atheist but I came to it through philosophy, postmodernism and wanting to help people, not through colonialist biologists who takes religion literally and simply want to pick on brown people.

[Jairzinho]

Most of them are sound apart from bellends like Sam Harris and Richard Dawkins.

[Rico1304]

I've listened to a few Sam Harris podcasts this week whilst I've been off. They are challenging, but like everyone he's 'right' about some things and 'wrong' on others.

[Rico1304]

Oh and his stuff with Majid Narwaz (sp) is good.

[skend04]

Killed millions in the 20th Century but my mate is one so they ain't all bad. Plus he does a great deal on utilities, got to keep him on side just for that.

The threshold for militancy does seem to be set remarkably low for atheists, doesn't it. Ordinarily in the realm of religion you have to lop off a few heads to be called a militant, but an atheist is a militant for merely expressing an irreligious worldview in public.

Cutting across all the Positive threads, anyone who tries to impose their beliefs on other people or who treats other people like shite because they see the world differently is a bit of a bell

Well, as an atheist, I never attended any mass demonstrations to prevent another bunch of people who "see the world differently" from expressing themselves.

 

How about yourself?

In the name of atheism? By following a doctrine set down in a book? Very, very lazy.

Whats the one where you're not a militant believer or disbeliever either way, you just couldn't give a flying fuck about any of it?

 

I think I'm that one.

[cloggypop]

Agnostic. I might go back to that myself. Atheism seems like such hard work these days.

You appear to have all the hallmarks of an apathetic agnostic.

 

You don't know, you don't pretend to know, you aren't arrogant enough to think you know and, most importantly, you don't give a fuck.

He's an atheist, he doesn't believe in God.

[General Dryness]

Exactly. Whats the one with the least arguments. I'll take it.

Its almost as if you know me. An accurate review in full.

Atheist secular states killed millions upon millions of people. It's historical fact. You can argue the reason why but it has happened. People with no belief in religion can be cunts too.

Oh it is, but your post made it out to be a a function of the atheism, which it wasn't.

It's almost as attributing something entirely down to religion, or non religion, is utterly ridiculous.

People don't need religion to be cunts, but its a convenient excuse.

 

Someones going to have an argument with me now, probably.

[skend04]

It is quite interesting though, why without fail atheist states and leaders go on a murderous rampage eventually. I'm just dreading the day some atheist becomes our PM or head of state. We could be fucked.
