Re: I am Euphoric...

[starphotographs]

I think a lot of people get weird about it even when they're not being personally insulted, though. In my experience, someone talking about their religion as true is just kind of accepted/ignored, and people just kind of brush it off as "well, they're a (thing they are), of course they think that." And like, someone assuming you share their beliefs and saying they'll pray for you or something is seen at very worst as well-meaning but annoying.

But an atheist saying "there is no god," or anything you'd just sort of expect an atheist to say is being a vile disrespectful killjoy. That's what I've seen, at least. So I just wish that atheists had as much leeway to mention their beliefs as most religious folks seem to get.

(For what it's worth, I don't generally go around antagonizing people, either. Because that's how you get stuck listening to religious people talking about their religion. Part of being an atheist, in my case, is having an extremely low tolerance for that shit. :P)

Hell, there are plenty of people who get bent out of shape when an atheist says something as innocuous as, "I'm an atheist," or "Atheists exist." There are billboard campaigns sponsored by atheist groups that say things like, "Don't believe in God? You're not alone!" and "Millions of people are good without God. Are you?" and these billboards get called hateful and inappropriate and are targeted for vandalism. The very fact that atheists exist and are willing to say so is perceived as hateful and inappropriate, let alone actually asserting their opinions about other people's religions.

But an atheist saying "there is no god,"
My problem with that is that it is stated as a fact, and usually it is thus implied that everyone who believes differently is an idiot or whatever. I have no issue with people believing whatever they want to believe for whatever religion (or lack thereof) they wish. As long as they don't hurt others and they don't present it as fact, as obviously no one knows anything really. (I am just as irked at religious people who state such things as facts too. Such as the Christian in my English class way back in high school who told my Jewish friend that she was going to hell because she didn't believe in the right God.)
