Athiests are arrogant and condescending, that's why NOBODY wants to be one, except the worst of the worst.

You're SURE there's no God, like your racist buddy Darwin, comrade Stalin, and your good buddy Fidel.

Athiests are arrogant...

Right, because we claim that everyone must live by our rules, we claim that everyone must agree with us, we claim that we're being "persecuted" if people disagree with us, and we claim that everyone else is horrible and deserves to be tortured. Oh, wait. Christians do that, not atheists.

...and condescending...

Right, because we tell everyone that they're criminals, we tell everyone that they're worthless unless they believe that Jesus gives them value, and we aren't shy about telling everyone that they're scum unless they agree with us. Oh, wait, my bad. That's the Christians again.

...that's why NOBODY wants to be one...

I admit, I don't want to be an atheist. I simply have to be one, given the total lack of evidence for any god. If there was evidence that a loving god existed, I would be quite happy about it. (Note: The Christian god does not fit that description.) I really want there to be a loving god, but I have the rationality to know that things aren't true solely because I wish they were.

...except the worst of the worst.

Like the people who started the Crusades? The ones who performed the "witch burnings?" The ones who killed the people of a great many countries? The ones currently forcing their opinions onto everyone? Oh, wait, those are all Christians.

You're SURE there's no God...

No, I am not "sure there's no god." I am sure that the Christian god doesn't exist; the Christian god is all-powerful and all-knowing, and is just but sends people to hell; since he possesses two pairs of mutually contradictory qualities, he cannot exist. However, I wouldn't say "I am sure no gods exist." I'm an ignostic; the question "Does a god exist?" is meaningless, because the term "god" is undefined. It would be like asking "Does a bludge exist?"

...like your racist buddy Darwin, comrade Stalin, and your good buddy Fidel.

Yeah, yeah. Let's just get it over with. 1. Charles Darwin wasn't an atheist. He was a racist, but so was everyone else at the time. Darwin was opposed to slavery. Your god is extremely racist; he orders genocide against other races in the BuyBull. 2. Stalin is not my "comrade." No one likes him, for the most part. He was an atheist, yes, but he also believed the sky was blue. If all atheists are bad because Stalin was an atheist, then surely all blue-sky believers, round-earthers, and wet-waterers are also bad for the same reason. 3. See (2), replacing "Stalin" with "Fidel."

@"Tak, the Hideous New Girl"

Tak, have you ever posted at RenewAmerica?
No, I have a feeling they would ban me in 2 minutes. Most conservetard message boards do not tolerate *anyone* who is not in lockstep with their views. It's not even worth the effort of registering.

"He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would fully suffice. This disgrace to civilization should be done away with at once. Heroism at command, senseless brutality, and all the loathsome nonsense that goes by the name of patriotism, how violently I hate all this, how despicable and ignoble war is; I would rather be torn to shreds than be part of so base an action! It is my conviction that killing under the cloak of war is nothing but an act of murder." -- Albert Einstein

"As Governor of the Colony, Eyre, fearful of an island wide uprising, brutally suppressed the Morant Bay Rebellion, and had many black peasants killed. Hundreds were flogged. He also authorised the execution of George William Gordon, a mixed-race colonial assemblyman who was suspected of involvement in the rebellion.

These events created great controversy in Britain, resulting in demands for Eyre to be arrested and tried for murdering Gordon. John Stuart Mill organised the Jamaica Committee, which demanded his prosecution and included some well-known British liberal intellectuals (such as John Bright, Charles Darwin, Frederic Harrison, Thomas Hughes, Thomas Huxley, John Tyndall, and Herbert Spencer)."

“Athiests are arrogant”
To me, the definitive arrogant example is the theist who believes in the Rapture and is SURE that God’s going to choose HIM. And not only be chosen, but placed at the best seat to see all the other little sinners, wannabes, and near-misses get judged.

“ and condescending,”
Like this post.

“that's why NOBODY wants to be one,”
I didn’t WANT to be one. I was on a search for God when I woke up to the fact that i’d lost all faith due to no one having any actual answers.

“except the worst of the worst.”
Really taking that ‘not to judge’ commandment to heart, aren’t we?

“You're SURE there's no God,”
No, no, sweetie. I’ve lost all possible faith in ALL the gods. Jehovah, A, El, Zeus, Quetzalcoatl, Raven, Aphrodite, Freya, Ptah, and the fat guy.

“like your racist buddy Darwin,”
Sigh. Not an atheist, not a racist.

“comrade Stalin, and your good buddy Fidel.”
So, just ad hominem? Got any actual evidence for your god? Or any of them?
