I dunno, does "being right" count as clever?

Even as a young athiest I knew that being athiest was all about not believing in X but also not caring that other people believe in X. I'm a scientist, so it's hard for me to rationalize a divine or omnipotent being, especially one whose actions are dictated by a text written by dozens of different ancients, many of whom were separated by continents and centuries. That's me though. I think it's dumb when people say or do mean poo poo in the name of religion, but it's also dumb when people say or do mean poo poo in the name of athiesm.

The way people are treating it, athiesm is becoming just another religion, complete with its own texts, figureheads, and places of congregation. I'm finding it harder to "identify" as an athiest, because every time you hear something about athiests on the news or in the media it's always about what tremendous poo poo heels they are.

Really, you should /never/ hear about athiests on the news or in the media, except in the context of "more (or less) people are identifying themselves as athiests", because if you're trying to promote athiesm you're trying too hard.

A woman asked me for directions yesterday and after I told her she said 'God bless you' to me. I wish I could take those directions back.

Apparently 'it's a thing' for southerners in America to have "...and have a blessed day." at the end of their voicemail recording. This is a thing I just learned.

I don't leave "...and remember to enjoy the universe that exists without a God." at the end of mine to let people know and reinforce my thoughts.

I don't "get" the atheism-debate in GBS nowadays. Is it just trolling or some weird attempt to make christianity less uncool by, uhm, trolling.

I guess reading the entire OP might give a hint, but gently caress that.

Theism is the new anime.

I mean it's not like he has a reputation of being completely misinformed of the subject that he prides himself on derailing constantly, is consistently shown to be wrong, moves his own goal posts, and then ignorantly trudges on and has been doing so since registering. Thread after thread of being insufferably wrong and refusing to acknowledge when he's been shown, factually, that he's incorrect.

I mean how could that guy ruin a thread? It's crazy!

You guys remember when there was a schism in the young church and politically powerful bishops got Constantine involved and Constantine looked over a lot of words about poo poo and then promptly declared "Who cares just think what you want, it's the same drat thing" and then the bishops got mad and told him he had to decide since he was the emperor and he was like "You guys are right I guess but seriously who cares" and then they persecuted the differing bishoprics?

lol classic Constantine.
