Atheists

  • I try to approach all people with equal amounts of respect.  But if I am approached with unjust rudeness, condescension, or disrespect, I will sometimes (if the situation calls for it) answer in the fashion I was addressed.
  • because people don’t get to be respectfully reasoned with if they’re going to insult me from the get-go
  • there’s a time to be nice and then there’s a time to be real
  • ...11 more annotations...
  • In terms of atheism, I will always show respect to people who are curious, even if their curiosity seems intrusive or easily solved by looking at Google.  I will always answer genuine questions in a genuine fashion.
  •  If someone addresses me or atheists in general in a derogatory way, however, they usually don’t deserve any graciousness on my part.
  • Because we already fight such a daunting stereotype
  • everyone is an individual person who is responsible for their actions and no one else’s
  •  One theist being rude to you does not say anything about theists
  • Conversely, a theist griping about how rotten atheists are is really saying something about himself: that he’s biased, unjust, and silly for generalizing.
  • remember that people will usually treat you the way you treated them
  • they were the ones setting the tone
  • people like this are not indicative of all
  • If you’re using their individual behavior as an excuse to dislike their entire group, you’re the one who is really adding to the stereotypes
  •  Blanket assumptions work both ways.

  • ''I think [women] should be armed but should not vote...women have no capacity to understand how money is earned. They have a lot of ideas on how to spend it...it's always more money on education, more money on child care, more money on day care.'' —Ann Coulter, on ''Politically Incorrect,'' February 26, 2001

  • Marriage comes with civil benefits
  • Religiously, marriage can be a multitude of things
  • If you really want to have more credibility with your arguments, maybe you should try to not sound like you are generalizing a whole group of people.
  • ...19 more annotations...
  • Civil partnerships are not equality. It's like asking black folks to drink from the "civil drinking fountain."
  • religion and politics should be kept separate
  • I'm also curious to know what glass house you think I'm in.
  • You can fact check all my statements and you'll find them to be quite true.
  • If he is allowed to post his beliefs in a stamp, journal, or art, then I am allowed to post my opinion in a comment.
  • I am not forcing Atheism on anybody
  • I am not in any group concerning christians
  • I'm only stating my opinion
  • I wasn't searching for religious stamps, but political stamps.
  • I don't care if christians think I'm a troll
  • the picture is in the group. Too bad. I am not
  • This isn't a "Christian community" this is deviantart. As a fellow atheist, I found this stamp by searching for "gay art", not "Christian community", just like many of the other commentators did
  • Just because it's featured in a Christian group doesn't mean it can't be found outside the group
  • unless you're actively searching IN the group there's no way to know that the stamp is part of any religious club
  • Marriage is not religious. I'm atheist, and I can get married any time I want.
  • I'm an atheist, and I celebrate Christmas as a holiday to love my family.
  • Get over yourself.
  • it's what gives people morals
  • If you NEED religion to have morals, you're actually a pretty shitty person.

  • why try to blame God when evil occurs?
  • If God didn't help because people "reject" him, then how come terrible things happen to people who don't?
  • I didn't know that God was so petty.
  • ...20 more annotations...
  • if I'm to believe that God has a plan for all of us, as I've been told several times in the past, especially in times of strife, then technically it's still God. [If God exists]
  • Instead of punishing, a loving god might have chosen to... reveal himself a little more?
  • Or maybe he might have made it so that evil didn't exist in the first place?
  • If God was all-loving, all-knowing, and all-powerful, surely he could have found a way to prevent that tragedy, if only to avoid the suffering
  • if such an 'imperfect' being as a human can think of some way to avoid those things from happening, surely God would be able to find a much better way.
  • Instead, we're left with this petty creature that supposedly cares so much about us that he's willing to let slide the brutal murders of dozens of children, just to teach us a lesson about faith.
  • Science adjusts its views based on what's observed. Faith is the denial of observation so that belief can be preserved
  • It kinda makes God sound like a petulant child.
  • I'm fine with God not helping, considering he's sort of... not there. Or at the very least, malevolent enough to stand by even while people feverishly pray and go unanswered, who lets horrible things happen and does nothing. If he's really so petty to abandon suffering people because people won't worship him, then I would rather not have him here.
  • We aren't trying to stomp out Christianity, we're asking for evidence. Until we get that, there is no reason to believe in your claim.
  • widespread delusion is pretty hard to get going with people already past the age of reason
  • So we have an omnipotent, omniscient and omnibenevolent god willing to kill people to get them to listen, but he can't just reveal himself to prove his own existence? What does that say about him?
  • faith [belief without evidence, not without seeing] is not a virtue
  • Trust and other such things can be considered such things; piety is trust in something that may or may not exist.
  • There is an enormous difference between a video game and real life: you can leave a video game. You can choose not to play a video game.
  • Does God go against our free will by forcing us into a world like this?
  • Morality doesn't originate from any one religion, no more than it comes from a belief in benevolent fairies.
  • I have yet to hear an moral action or deed that a believer can commit that cannot be matched or even surpassed by a non-believer.
  • There isn't much of a difference between starving someone to death and letting someone starve to death. Either way, you must take responsibility for your action, and you end up with the same result.
  • If God has power over the death of people, he is accountable for that-no all-loving deity would allow them to die.

  • Many things give humans hope
  • normal human beings
  • an atheist is "someone who doesn't believe in gods." Full stop.
  • ...30 more annotations...
  • I'm just one atheist, and I believe hope exists, because I often feel it.
  • I hope it's a sunny day tomorrow, and the fact that the weatherman said that's what I should expect gives me hope it will be.
  • make sure you're using the word "belief" in a clear way. It can have several meanings.
  • Assuming something exists
  • Being in favor of something
  • There are people who believe God exists but dislike Him, but they're not atheists. Why? Because they believe He exists.
  • it sounds like you're using the second definition of "belief," which means being in favor of something. That's a value.
  • Though individual atheists have values (which often differ drastically from the values of other atheists), atheism has nothing to do with values.
  • it's not an allegiance
  • I like the idea of gods. But I don't believe they exist, so I'm an atheist.
  • I am in favor of hope. I value it.
  • I know there are things that give lots of people hope.
  • I do believe in hope.
  • I have hope that mankind will stop making war
  • I have hope that we will advance our medicine to provide health care to all of humanity
  • I have hope that human rights will be expanded and no one will be victimized or marginalized
  • I have hope that love will win over bigotry and bias.
  • I have hope that religions will not divide us.
  • I have hope that poverty and hunger can be eliminated.
  • I have hope for mankind reaching out to the stars.
  • I have hope for laws that are not based on religious ideology and yet are fair, moral and ethical.
  • My hopes are based upon everything mankind has yet achieved compared to where we once were.
  • My hope is powered by the potential for us to yet be better.
  • My hope is not based on any form of religion and yet is still hope.
  • I have hope for humanity.
  • You and I are free today because of endless unnamed heroes
  • Many of them downplay how far they've come, but I see their strength and compassion. 
  • Atheists do not hold to a single creed. The only thing they share is a disbelief in some particular kind of god.
  • they might believe in the power of groups of people, working in unison with a common spirit
  • Humanism tends to give people hope
