Carpe Diem Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 What atheist community? There are many. Unlike Christians and Muslims, we don't share any more in common than our lack of belief in a god or gods. That's it. We could be conservatives, far right Republicans, utilitarianists, and communists. Nor do we all come to atheism by virtue of our intelligence, though plenty seem to. I agree, in a sense it is juvenile, but it's also provocative and not harmful. In fact it seems to be a fair trade, shed shackles of religious conservatism for earthly pleasures today! Could be worse, they could be like Christians, burning holy books or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Satan's Evil Twin Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Religions people do it out of a belief that they are right; atheists do it because they're internally charged to be obnoxious from the get-go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Common sense Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 I know, those 90-whatever % atheist scientists in the National Academy of Science are so obnoxious. Some days I wonder how you are still alive, then I remember there are warning labels on literally everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GLASSJAW Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 I have always felt this cartoon is inaccurate The guy on the right seems more like a militant agnostic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satan's Evil Twin Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 if its organised, yes, if not no. Any group that puts up billboards etc really is no different. As an agnostic I would never join an atheist group because I don't want to talk to anyone about my lack of religion, or gather with fellow atheists. Part of the point for me is to escape that sort of @#$%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satan's Evil Twin Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Totally agree. In order for him to be a militant atheist, you'd have to add about 200 pounds to his figure, and put a computer/keyboard in front of him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
butters Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Gee, I didn't realize Safeway, Starbucks, Audi, etc., are all religions... I think this is why words have meanings, so we don't confuse different things with each other by virtue of a single similar quality - in this case being a group of like-minded people being called a religion.

unbridled_id Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 "The event caused an uproar on campus in 2008 and made headlines around the world. But this year, few students took notice. During the four hours Atheist Agenda members spent next to their signs each day, only about 30 people stopped by to get information about the club or start a debate. [...]" You see it has lost it's "shock value".. They need to give out food or contraceptives next year and it bet it will be a big hit as college kids are easy that way.

butters Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 I believe I stated the context in my post you quoted... See, you're saying atheists in a group are just like religion, yet the only commonality is both being groups of people. You are wrong in your statement, plain and simple.
