Remember back when atheism was just about not believing in god?
Its funny because memes like this actually kind of require you to believe in God to make sense. Jesus was either made up or some crazy person. He didn’t die for our sins so I don’t think it makes sense to be pissed off at him or a god that doesn’t exist. These whole line of reasoning assumes a believe in god and Jesus and its a super weird fit for an athiest perspective.
Yeah, it’s hard to take rationalism seriously when it seems to be preached by those who worship at the altar of Sam Harris. When that’s not how being rational works, that’s literally dogma.
It is a strange irony that a creature such as man can take the concept of not having a religion, and somehow warp it into being very much resembling a religion.
I suppose this is why in Psychology they say, man is a religious animal.
I remember when this community was created. I was one of the fist to post here and suggest that it try and stray away from the angsty “Reddit atheism” rhetoric.
I knew that was an impossible thing to suggest.
I’m not trying to elbow drop you but it truly was an impossible thing to suggest.
I am now 49, and when I was 24 I decided to join an atheist club. It was my desire to be around like-minded people and make friends.
I quickly realized the only thing we had in common was atheism. And I was saturated with irony, being among people who felt compelled to continually talk about how they don’t believe in something.
It seems it’s hard for humans to discuss anything without making it a piece of their identity… Which is really unhealthy when discussion is not varied.
Seriously, every transgirl who’s been around long enough has a horror story about why they don’t go to their local support group anymore. Except for me, I have closer to three.
