Oh, what a profound take! Wow, you really pwned us atheists. Guess I was wrong cause you the smartiest of us all.
This is one of the stupidest things I’ve seen. Keep telling yourself this because it self-soothes.
Meanwhile, I hate all religions because they’re used to justify persecution worldwide. Get fucked. I don’t need to tell myself soothing “truths” to feel good about my take.
^^^^^^ common reaction for a religious person to have to what they believe to be blasphemy.
Oh and I forget to mention that another core belief of atheists is that bigotry towards other religions is acceptable so long as they believe that they aren’t in a religion. Which is why the belief that atheism is not a religion is core to the atheist belief system. If atheism is a religion then atheism is just another religion being bigoted towards other religions. Nobody wants to think of themselves as a bigot so therefore it’s blasphemy to call atheism a religion.
Whoopsie… seems you probably left one religion only to get sucked into another one that’s the same kind of shit just with no holidays. Which conflicts with another atheist belief that you’re an atheist because you’re smarter than everyone else. As if religions aren’t all about making people feel special for being a member.
If you truly had no beliefs you wouldn’t be a part of a discussion group centered around your “non-religion”. There would be no point to it if you had no shared beliefs.
I have no illusions about the fact that I am not smarter than everyone else. However, I can say with absolutely certainty that I am smarter than you. Unfortunately for both of us that isn’t saying much because you set the bar pretty damn low.
I also think it’s quite humorous that you are generalizing atheists as having an unjustifiable sense of moral superiority when that literally describes your entire public facing persona on Lemmy.
Seems like maybe there’s some things you don’t like about yourself, and you’re projecting those insecurities on people who will not share them for reasons that make no fucking sense.
Another property of the atheist religion is the tendency to generalize people of other religious beliefs .while getting upset other people generalizing them. Yet another reason that questioning the core tenet of atheism being “not a religion” is considered to be blasphemous to atheists.
It’s no fun being generalized, but lots of fun generalizing others. Since atheists need to separate their behavior from the exact same behavior of other religions (they’re better than those dumb religious people) means an atheist is incapable of appreciating the irony of the whole thing.
There you go with that projection again. You have made repeated assertions about atheism being a religion, and then followed that up by hyper-generalizing the behaviors of atheists that you view as being part of that religion. Yet you have the audacity to tell me that I’m the one with the unchecked bigotry when I never said a fucking thing about your religious beliefs. I never attempted to generalize you based on what they may or may not be, nor do I fucking care. If only you possesed the capability or willingness to understand irony…
Look tons of fun, even though I could sit here all day and poke holes in your piss poor arguments that lack any sort of self-awareness, I’m going to go do something more productive with my life. You can feel free to have the last word, so you can go mentally masterbate about winning this conversation, and continue feeding your pathetic delusions that you want to pass off as well reasoned positions. I promise, I won’t lose any sleep over it sweetheart 😘
And I can pick holes in your arguments if you actually made any. But it all comes down to what I’m saying conflicting with your beliefs. Just try harder to understand there are many things that can’t be proven (like whether atheism is a religion or not) and a lot of how you see the world comes down to arbitrary definitions of words. You define atheism to be not religion, therefore atheism is not a religion. You define God to be something that can’t exist therefore God doesn’t exist. But it’s tautological reasoning, it’s not some profound truth that you’ve discovered that religious people can’t understand.
We get it, you believe different things from other people and that makes you feel special. You want to be among other people that share your beliefs for fellowship. Religious people are the same, they just don’t define their beliefs as “not religion” and don’t define God as “something that can’t exist.”
You’re just human like everyone else, no need to be upset about it.
I stopped reading your replies when I noticed that they’re a long thread. I don’t care about the opinions of people who can’t shut up. It makes me happy that you care so much. I don’t. I noticed this a week after you were posting about it because I mostly ignore replies. But you seem to love them / get bothered by them. Have fun telling me I’m religious because I hate religion. You totally pwned me, pal. I submit. ;-)
