It's not easy being mean.....I mean, green.....or gay?
Being an atheist is tough work. You might think we all sit around in our chatroom and talk about how much God sucks and how much we hate Him and how stupid you Christians/Theists are, but we don't. If you think that, you're probably a idiot fundie who also thinks God is watching right now. *Prays for the rapture*
Atheism is a tough gig. Atheists have very little in common other than their lack of god belief. Atheists are cannibals. When left to our vices, we will eat one another. This brings me to today's topic: Eating Your Own.
By nature, most atheists like to argue, even for the sake of arguing. If you argue with an atheist, be prepared to back up your argument. It doesn't matter the nature of the argument, just make sure that if you are claiming something, you can properly back it up. IE--God. We don't ask much from theists concerning gods. Just give us proof. For some fucking reason this insults theists. Courts ask for proof of a murder and you're OK with it, but not God! Never question God. Why? Because you can't answer a question about God.
The mob mentality goes for atheists as well as theists. The more the better. It stands to show, however, that one well read, intelligent atheist can handle many theists. The more people that agree with you, the better, but we don't really need backup. Theists tend to refute themselves anyway. Atheists don't outnumber theists, we had to evolve to be able to defeat you in verbal battle.
But what happens when there are no theists present? What do we atheists do? For the most part, we talk about sex (at least in A vs C). We talk about a lot of things. Politics, music, personal opinions, etc. This is where the danger is. For the most part, we all get along and suffer bad opinions like someone liking Metal music or being Republican, but every so often we start to itch.....when a fundie hasn't come along for a while, you start to pick at the personal opinions of your roommates. And why the fuck not? The only thing you have in common is atheism, they're not your buddies.
Christians like to act like they love other christians, but I know better. But they fake it anyway. "I love Jesus!" "Welcome to the room!".
Versus the atheistic approach
"I don't believe in God." "Good for you, neither do I."
Why does this bother me? Because when you voice an opinion that someone happens to disagree with and the timing is right, you will get treated like the poor bastard theist who thinks yelling "God will burn yall in hell 4 eva, so u ppl beter start belivin in him" will cause the epiphany to end our cynicism. It's no fun having your roommates bite down on you, espcially when you made sure your opinion was expressed as such: an opinion. On partcularly shitty occassions, they will equate your reasons for your opinion to...A FUCKING CHRISTIAN.
That's when the "fuck you" 's start to fly. That's when the iggy button gets pushed. That's what happens WHEN ATHEISTS ATTACK!
Now, I hate idiots as much as the next person, and someone is going to get on my case for this. "We're not friends, blah blah, if you say something stupid I will tell you so, yadda yadda." Just like gay christians bother me, the pseudo-indifferent atheists bother me. Of course it suits them to be nice when you agree, but when you disagree, they're the fucks that say "You sound like a Christian.". That is atheist for "You're a retard.".
What? You wanted a clear line of reasoning? Is the fact that THIS atheist doesn't really have a rational reason for quite a few opinions disturbing?
I don't like gay christians because they make gays look like idiots.
I don't think kids under 17 should have sex.
I think hunter green is an awesome color.
Baby corn freaks me out.
When atheists turn on me for stating an opinion that they don't like, it pisses me off.
Don't argue for the sake of arguing if you really just disagree. It's annoying. Everyone disagrees.
AND DON'T FUCKING CALL ME A CHRISTIAN.
