Cool kids might remember me from the old bird site. Smug, hate God, love to sin and post about #atheism because that's my entire personality. Never sarcastic. *Atheist Chicagoans Are Badass*

Yeah, I'm one of those internet atheists your cool youth pastor warned you about.

Why? Because religion is the far-too-common denominator in the world's problematic equations.

It teaches faith over fact. It instills "us vs them" mentality. And in countries like the USA, it's becoming law.

Spiritual Safety Tip

What should you do if you find an Atheist?

"Bah! I don't believe in
anything! I'm staying
home on Sunday!"

Atheists such as crotchety
old Mr. Gruff [a cartoon goat in a bathroom drinking his coffee] think they've
got it all figured out...

...but then why are they
always so sad?

If you find an Atheist in your neighborhood
TELL A PARENT OR PASTOR RIGHT AWAY!

You may be moved to try and witness to
these poor lost souls yourself, however
AVOID TALKING TO THEM!

Atheists are often very grumpy and bitter and will lash
out at children or they may even try to trick you into
neglecting God's Word,

Very advanced witnessing techniques are needed for
these grouches. Let the adults handle them.

Finally got me one of them fancy shirts what got the writin on it.

White t-shirt in the style of "Don't mess with Texas," only it's "Don't mess with Chicago" and it's got a Chicago flag star on top and the Bean underneath.

What a charming fellow. I bet he's a hit at parties.

I'll bring up Jahannam with similar responses from the Christians threatening hell...

"I'm not Muslim, why should I care? It's a false religion anyway."

Painting of Jahannam, the Islamic version of Christian hell captioned "I'm as scared of hell as you are of Jahannam "

Only one "acting like garbage" here is you. 👍

Reason forbid people talk about something that doesn't directly concern them.

If someone makes a post about how
much it fucking sucks (the answer
is: so fucking much) to deal with
evangelizing atheists and you yourself
are not an evangelizing atheist, I
promise you it's not a post about you
and you don't have to feel attacked,
because you haven't beem

How, exactly, am I "acting like fucking garbage," let alone "to you"?

The Athiest Atheist @mostathy.bsky.social · 10h

You know what IS arrogant?

Believing you have a personal relationship with the omnipotent creator of the universe who just so happens to be the god of the religion you were born into. This god loves you very much and if you love him and obey him, you get to spend eternity in his paradise.

The Athiest Atheist @mostathy.bsky.social · 10h

These True Christians need to get around to publishing the No Crap Bible already.

Way too much crap that somehow keeps sneaking past those so-called Christian publishing houses.

steve @astevet.bsky.social · 19h

I feel strongly that a lot of the stuff that ended up in the Bible is crap placed on us by men with control issues. I also believe that a lot of the stuff in the Bible is divinely inspired. When you read the Bible and fear God you've found the crap.

If you believe every embryo is endowed with an immortal soul, and God (the author of nature) has decreed that 10-25% of pregnancies end in miscarriage, and either baptism or a profession of faith are necessary to avoid eternal damnation, then your God is simply evil, and your beliefs are insane.

What utter nonsense—and, not surprisingly, misunderstanding agnosticism and atheism.

It's hardly "arrogant" to lack belief in gods, supernatural beings existing outside of space and time with no tangible evidence beyond "look around."

And one can not claim to know (agnostic) but still believe.

hobgoblin of spooky mind @bigblueguitar.bsky.social · 16h

AFAIC, being an atheist is an inherently arrogant position; it presumes an individual has the answers to some of our deepest questions. It's the mirror to deists who revile secular humanism. I consider being an agnostic the only respectful position for a nonreligious person: I doubt, but don't know

It's never named as an apple anyway, merely "fruit."

Kind of like Jonah was swallowed by a "great fish," not a whale.

The Athiest Atheist @mostathy.bsky.social · 10h

Yeah, some priests have been coming out and standing up to ICE.

Some priests have been diddling kids.

Almost like religion doesn't necessarily make someone a good person.

Yes, cast those spells!

No, seriously. If you can summon your god to get ICE to fuck off, more power to you.

Rich Raho @richraho.bsky.social · 17h

Chicago priest Fr. Larry Dowling describes procession to ICE facility: “No one had the courage to speak directly to us. No one from Homeland Security could stand in the presence of the Monstrance holding the Blessed Sacrament. No wonder. Evil is repelled, recoils in the presence of Christ.”

Not wrong.

As democracy is perfected, the office
[of the President] represents, more
and more closely, the inner soul of
the people. We move toward a lofty
ideal. On some great and glorious
day the plain folks of the land
will reach their heart's desire at
last, and the White House will be
adorned by a downright
moron.

Science: we don't know, let's find out.

Religion: we don't know, let's make shit up.

The Athiest Atheist @mostathy.bsky.social · 11h

And religions are inherently traditional, they maintain consistency.

Science, on the other hand, is always developing, advancing, and thrives on being proved wrong.

Granted, wherever cultures have believed in gods, certain members have been skeptical—and often were driving forces for progress.

The Athiest Atheist @mostathy.bsky.social · 11h

And with every culture having their own gods that created everything for them, it's been very easy to turn other cultures into the enemy, with their strange customs and false gods.

Only very recently has science shown us the reality of our existence instead of simply making up explanations.

The Athiest Atheist @mostathy.bsky.social · 11h

Rather than germs, it was demons that caused disease, that or the gods were angry. Angry gods caused earthquakes and volcanoes. Floods, droughts.

And we'd make sacrifices, up to and including humans, to curry the gods' favor. Keep upping the ante until it "worked" and things changed.

The Athiest Atheist @mostathy.bsky.social · 11h

The gods created everything more or less how it is: plants to eat, animals to hunt, materials to make clothes and shelter. It was all there to serve us.

Nothing at could do could upset the balance...

Good weather was the gods' favor, bad their punishment. And we'd make sacrifices to influence it.

The Athiest Atheist @mostathy.bsky.social · 11h

So what?

Well... up until very recently in human evaluation, humans didn't know we evolved, which is a fact—today we know more about the mechanisms of evolution than gravity. (Another concept not articulated until slightly less recently.)

Humans held a particular distinguished position.

The Athiest Atheist @mostathy.bsky.social · 11h

OK, here's an "all religions" thing...

Creation myths.

Cue the Carl Sagan voice in your head: "every human culture has a set of creation myths."

To my knowledge, not one single religion hit on the Big Bang or the true nature of the cosmos.

They all say "(Our) God(s) did it."

And I can almost guarantee that if they do reply, it'll be to sanctimoniously declare how I totally just proved their point.
