I really love this silly idea you've been pushing that we're not real atheists if we came from a Christian background. Go fuck yourself.

Thanksgiving is about as Christian as Halloween. And I suppose I would know, wouldn't I?

It's not a matter of not being a real atheist. You can have no religious affiliations whatsoever and still be culturally Christian.

You clearly have no reading comprehension.

That's like saying you aren't a real vegetarian if you have ever eaten meat.

Anon, I have been an agnostic my whole life and /I/ am not free from religious affiliations. I've been to church a handful of times with a friend who is Christian. The neighbors on either side of my house growing up where Christian. My high school was in a Jewish neighborhood. I was part of a theology discussion group in college.

Even our language is full of religious influences.

nayrt

What a ridiculous comparison. Vegetarianism is a choice. Being part of a cultural group isn't.

I like how you pointedly didn't engage AYRT on the actual meat (pun intended) of her post.

ayrt

Why should I? The meat of their post is fucking stupid.

It's actually not, but do go on being an angry white baby.

lol @ u assuming I'm white.

Fucking typical American.

Aw, is Eurotrash baby mad?

Not European either, muffin. Try again.

Or don't. w/e floats your silly yankee boat.

I don't believe you at all.

Because everyone on the internet is either 'Murrican or "Eurotrash" right?

Well, I don't believe you when you say you're not a Christian, so there.

Believe what you want, cupcake. You're still a piece of shit. <3

Perhaps. But I can find consolation in the fact that I'll never be as much of a piece of shit as you.

Cupcake.

<3

You're so fucking cute. Merry Christmas, dipshit.

That so very doesn't fucking matter. Just because I went to a Catholic school does not mean I am a fucking Christian and you don't get to tell me that my religious background somehow invalidates my opinion you utter, UTTER potatodick.

lol

nayrt

Would you please mind explaining why it is that the typical ex-Christian atheist's attitude regarding their atheism is exactly the same as the attitude that the typical Christian has regarding their Christianity? Why is it that most ex-Christian atheists take an approach to people whose beliefs and values differ from their that is exactly the same as the way Christians deal with people who beliefs and values differ from theirs?

There are so, so many ex-Christian atheists have that exact same arrogance and "my way or the highway" bullshit mentality that Christians have.

You may not be a Christian anymore, but you can't seriously expect me to believe that being raised Christian hasn't had a huge influence on the way you perceive reality.

Your entire argument is based on a false premise due to selection bias. And I'll thank you to not tell me how I perceive reality, sugar cookie.

The reason a small percentage of atheists behave the way you describe has nothing to do with their cultural background and everything to do with resentment over a society that tends to marginalize secular or otherwise non-Christian people. It's exactly the same reason a lot of young neopagans from Christian families are such insufferable mallgoths -- it's an act of rebellion against a Christian culture that is at times repressive and abusive. It's also a result of the religious right having an actual effect on public policy (such as abortion rights and education) -- that alone is worth getting angry with.

I'd argue it's also partly due to many (male) atheists being that kind of entitled douchebag who thinks their opinion somehow matters more. A lot of them are MRAs who mistake utter horseshit about women and female anatomy for scientific fact. There's nobody more irritating than someone with an inflated sense of their own intelligence.

>There's nobody more irritating than someone with an inflated sense of their own intelligence.

so deliciously ironic

I don't have an inflated sense of my own intelligence. I freely admit I'm not as smart as a lot of people out there.

It just so happens that most anons like you are just dumber than me. :)

Why are you so condescending to everyone all the time?

I love how "you're so condescending" always gets trotted out when I'm responding to someone being condescending.

condescenception

+10000 to all of this.
