Hey, guess what! Some people don't believe in ***!

[DizzyME]

I am shocked at how many people really have no idea that there are people out there that can actually believe there is no ***. I was talking to a group of people today and one woman actually said "Well, everyone believes in SOME kind of ***..." She had apparently never even heard of the term atheist or agnostic. When I brought up the terms, apparently I was the only one in the group that knew what agnostic meant.

I am starting to get really ****** off at how much things are oriented to those who do have some sort of religious affiliation, Christianity inparticular.

Just because a large portion of the world has deluded themselves into believing in one of of the thousands of different types of gods out there does not mean that everyone does. The more I study this stuff the more frustrated I get. Now I understand why some of the atheists I know online are so angry all the time. lol

comments?

Tell her to look at this post Diz...

I DON'T BELIEVE IN ANY ***!

I have got news for you. Everyone believes in *** (or gods) ... see the following definition:

[n] a material effigy that is worshipped as a ***; "thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image"; "money was his ***"


[n] any supernatural being worshipped as controlling some part of the world or some aspect of life or who is the personification of a force


[n] the supernatural being conceived as the perfect and omnipotent and omniscient originator and ruler of the universe; the object of worship in monotheistic religions


[n] a man of such superior qualities that he seems like a deity to other people; "he was a *** among men"

Unless you are completely void of any beliefs at all, you believe in something that is a ***.

Thanks for a comment that is pretty much irrelevant. I think you know what kind of *** the post is referring to.

Darn MRIH, you're right. I am *** in certain video games. And THAT I do believe.

 

[phreakwars]

I believe in ***, I just don't believe in the "Great White Christian" ***, and I absolutely do not believe in religious dogma of any kind .

There are atheists and there are agnostics and I think people confuse the two. Agnostics question the existence of *** but keep an open mind on the possibility that there is something out there greater than themselves, be it nature or aliens or whatever. Atheists do not believe in any higher power of any kind. The complete absence of belief. Of-course those who are truly atheists are not offended by Religion any more than I am offended by Fairytales.

 

[tonon]

well, i hope you do agree that we dont know anything compared to whats out there that we havnt learned. everything is a miracle.

Atheists are beyond belief.

ha ha. Cute.

 

[Jhony5]

A man of such superior qualities that he seems like a deity to other people;

This 'definition' seems kinda lose to me. What the **** is this supposed to mean? Are we speaking about Micheal Jordan when he was in a zone? This particular definition sounds more like slang then anything else.

I do not believe in any form of *** as there is absolutely no reason for me to.

However I do leave open the possibility of any supernatual explanation concievable. That does not suggest belief.

I'm so sick of people asserting that everyone must have some belief. Why must everyone have some sort of label?? It's been this way since the dawn of time.

That is EXACTLY right, Tori! Makes you wonder why the so-called "atheists" are so offended by the "under ***" part of the pledge... it doesn't make any sense!

 

[Outlaw2747]

Yea, those guys are not true atheists. They are just extremists that want to **** in everyone's parade.

 

[Jhony5]

Atheist are a sorted lot. I have had alot of dealings with them on atheist forums and for the most part they are constructed of militant homosexuals, femi-nazis, and egotistical intellectuals. To them there is a clear line drawn down the center divide. You either believe in a ***, or you do not believe in any ***.

From SD: absolutely not true! While some people say they're an atheist but still worship some being or THING as ***, take it from the horse's mouth; some most certainly do NOT. As I've said before, if I HAD to call something my *** I would--that doesn't mean that I do. Most of you also know my admiration of Alexander the Great--but he's no ***. Nor are any of my favourite characters, no matter how much I adore them In other words, your statement can't be true if someone can disprove it and I can because I have no ***. So tell me again how everyone believes in some form of ***.

 


Tori/Outlaw: I can't speak for everyone, but I know for sure that the atheists I know (personally) are offended by what religion represents, and the people who live by it. We DO believe that religion is a fairy-tale--and are thus offended that people not only allow themselves to be brainwashed by such blatant stupidity, but also insist on rubbing our faced in it! You can't walk down the street without some religion, 99% of the time with reference to Jesus, being thrown in your face. We'd be perfectly happy to let you all live your lives--unlike those "it is my duty to save your soul" *******--if you'd live it QUIETLY. Religious people always demand respect for their beliefs--well it'd be nice if we could have some of the same.

 


As for the people, 9/10 religious people I have met have been obnoxious, arrogant, and...well...stupid. (See brainwashing)

 


Anywho, that's my two cents which for once is worth something since it's me we're talking about, ne?

 

[builder]

I like that, SD.

I have a very firm belief that I am going to have another beer.

I believe Outlaw is an atheist.

I completely respect your right not to believe what I do and I can empathize with your position. I am, however, not offended by your views, and I can not see how you are offended my mine.

What you must realize is that everyone believes the way they do because they think their belief is the correct one. Otherwise why would they believe that way? This means that everyone on the face of the Earth goes around thinking that their belief is correct and anyone who does not believe like them is ignorant of the truth. Atheist

 

[DizzyME]

I also know true atheists that are offended by religious issues that are forced upon them. ****, I'm agnostic and I am offended by it.

Like I said, there are Christians who are offended by pushy Religious Zealots. Even if you believe something, you don't want it shoved in your face. It's a big turn-off.
