A girl I was seeing, recently told me she was muslim. She told me she was afraid of telling me this because of the way people react to it. She then told me we had to stop seeing each other because I was an atheist, and that unless I turned to islam, not for her but for myself, that we couldn't ever hope to have a relationship. I then spent the next few hours, talking and debating religeon.
I don't hate her anymore or less, and I haven't reconsidered my lack of faith and she hasn't reconsidered her faith and I know this is out of context, but this is the first time that being an atheist was a problem and I wanted to share that with people who've no doubt experienced this at some level or another. Thank you.
What? Godlover doubts evolution? And hates it?
Oh, the humanity! I can't take this persecution any longer. I'm ending it all tonight, going home to Darwin in that Great Galapagos in the sky.
So depressing.
I'm coming, Chucky . . . wait for me, buddy . . .
If your friends' faiths are so easily shaken by biology, your beliefs must be pretty stupid. You and your religitard friends can go throw yourselves off a bridge, free up some space on the planet for more useful people.
"I hate evolution"
Tough shit.
I hate Creationism & the book it comes from, because it makes those who accept this load of shite have a greatly reduced IQ, and no sense of reality. Therefore it (& 'Intelligent Design', a.k.a. Creationism by Stealth) has NO right to be taught in schools. If fundies don't want Evolution & Cosmology forced down their throats in church, you have NO right to do the same with your BS in schools.
Religion stays in the church. It's the only place where it has the right to exist. NOWHERE else.
You know, it was a bunch of Christians harassing me and God's lack of intervention that made me suicidal and turn away from Western religion.
@ Athar - I follow Shinto and Buddhism, and my roommates are two agnostics and a Mormon. In my mind, this is how life should be; regardless of faith, we seriously can live together and find common ground. This has been the happiest living situation in my life. I hope you and your girlfriend come to a mutual understanding on the subject too.
Faith, my boy. Faith. Have your friends none?
Or, to put it another way. You are a pile of festering satanic bullshit.
Or, to put it another way. Everything that you, godlover, and your lily-livered friends believe in is garbage.
Someone who'd kill himself because his teacher says he has to learn about evolution, would kill himself over bigger things as well, like his girlfriend leaving him or Mommy not buying him a pony for Christmas.
So...it's our fault that your alleged friends faith was so waek that science shattered it, and them along with it?
Honey...facts aren't always pretty or nice. But that doesn't mean you get to throw out the ones you don't like.
Lemme guess ... your friends became "suicidal" because the facts of evolutionry biology convinced them that the Genesis account cannot be literally true, and that therefore the faith they'd been spoon-fed since childhood had all been a lie?
Well, they'll get over it. And they'll be better off in the long run.
Even if this were true, so what? You want us to stop teaching evolution, despite its being true, because people react negatively toward it? Should we stop teaching EVERYTHING that people find unpleasant?
If looking at the proof and concluding you were OHNOEZ!!!1! wrong about something is enough of a shock to make you suicidal, your parents need to be shot immediately, and you need serious therapy. I mean, really, when I figured out Christianity was a scam, I shrugged my shoulders and walked away from it.
On the other hand, you Christers tend to invest yourself 110% emotionally and mentally in this idea of "needing a savior" because you're "wicked and sinful" and "can never measure up to God's standards". That kind of thinking, when forced on a child from an early age -- even at an older age -- can damage the child, and make them truly believe that without a savior, they are doomed, DOOMED! Thus, upon realizing that their support system is a fantasy, they feel they are better off taking their own lives, and do just that.
The smart ones take the chance to explore other ways of thinking, other philosophies, and to expand knowledge.
another good example why fundyism is dangerous: it scrambles your brain so badly that when you're confronted with reality, it all just falls apart.
this is actually pretty tragic: fundyism makes people completely incapable of dealing with the real world... it's almost like chopping the kids' legs off at birth.
Teachers don't force anything... which is why I was sent to detention or earned low marks instead of getting strapped down to my seat.
I have no idea why your friends and classmates are suicidal. Teenage anxt and depression can happen for a number of reasons. However, if they find that the science is reasonable and it conflicts with the world view they think they should have, that certainly can't help. The rational science is not going away, so maybe the fault lies a little more with the uncompromising bullshit the fundi churches keep pushing.
"I hate evolution it has only caused MANY of my friends and classmates to become suicidal because teachers force this crap on them and tell them that everything they believe in is garbage."
Then maybe you should consider the fact that you believe in something that isn't true. If those kids killed themselves because they couldn't handle the truth, fuck em.
That's....
Really sad. People, living beings, unable to withstand truth because they were indoctrinated and brainwashed from birth.
It's shit like this that made me Anti-theist. This shows that it is time to abandon religion and move forward as a race.
No man should have to kneel before an imaginary god
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
