[QUOTE=Archy;18907093]That's great, but she caused a shitton of drama, enough so to catch the attention of the internet. That should be the number one thing to avoid in my opinion, especially when it comes to a group not liking you.[/QUOTE] That's how life works. You don't just stand idly by and let people fuck with you simply because you're too much of a pussy to handle some attention.

It'd be best if she just did something that wouldn't bring so much attention, that way less people would think of her as a drama whore.

I'm so sad I could just shit.

Most of the situations I've gone through have been solved with those two words.
most likely the only reason someone would even know you were athiest is if you were being a pretentious prick about it

Like, if you're asked to pray to glory of God. Or if, you know, someone just asks you.
[QUOTE=Majache;18907283]Or if the topic comes up. Like, if you're asked to pray to glory of God. Or if, you know, someone just asks you.[/QUOTE] Well, if they ask you to pray, that's fine. You don't need to be a dick and say, "I'm atheist, so I shouldn't pray." The entire point of atheism is not believing in a god, not actively rejecting one. Nobody's actively making sure that you don't [I]fake it.[/I]

The entire point of atheism is not believing in a god, not actively rejecting one. If you're surrounded by a bunch of people who you know dislike you due to your atheism, you should know that when they ask you to pray, you pray.[/QUOTE] Er, as an atheist, you don't believe in the validity of Christianity. So when you do pray, one, you're professing a belief you don't have, two, you're showing an inability to trust in your own ability and the need to cling to a possibly bigoted and unworthy group of retarded elitists. So not only are you a committing a sin(if Christianity is true) by lying, you're refusing to be honest with who you are. Maybe that sounds good to you, but some of us still have self respect.
Majache, you're atheist, aren't you?
[QUOTE=Majache;18907283] Or if the topic comes up. Like, if you're asked to pray to glory of God. Or if, you know, someone just asks you.[/QUOTE] Why would an atheist go to a place that forces you to pray to God?
[QUOTE=Archy;18907387]Majache, you're atheist, aren't you?[/QUOTE] And of what relevance is that question?
[QUOTE=Majache;18907417]And of what relevance is that question?[/QUOTE] Just answer mine.
[QUOTE=Howlthrug;18907392]Why would an atheist go to a place that forces you to pray to God?[/QUOTE] Uh, did you watch the video in the OP? Because I don't feel like explaining the situation to you. [editline]09:07AM[/editline] [QUOTE=Archy;18907422]Just answer mine.[/QUOTE] I'm agnostic.
[QUOTE=N0 WAR;18905131]This is extreme, even for Christians.[/QUOTE] :getout:
Pretty much everybody I know are atheists. There's this one guy at school who likes to preach. I actually enjoy debating with him.
I'm atheist but when I had dinner at my ex-girlfriend's house with her parents they prayed and I bowed my head. I'd feel rude if I didn't. You know who I hate the most? People who call themselves agnostic. Grow some balls and say you're atheist, gosh. You know that's what you are.
[QUOTE=Majache;18907424]I'm agnostic.[/QUOTE] So, you're saying that theists are the bad group throwing the rocks, but here you are calling theists bigoted unworthy elitists and overall being a dick about them. I'm glad that you have a stance here on religion, (I've met way too many people on my part that just can't make up their mind) but I'm not glad that you're actively insulting a group which I happen to be part of. Sure, it was pretty terrible that she got kicked from the team, but did she really need to accept an entire interview from a TV station?
Where's all these Christians in America this guy is talking about?

Did i ever even refer to them as "the theists"? Because from what I remember all my posts have been in the context of "if someone fucks with you under illegal pretenses, fuck them back", not "fuck the believers those stupid mothafuckin' apes". And so that makes me wonder why you're offended by me calling those people worthless bigoted redneck fucks simply because they're religious. I'm part Swedish, if you call the Viking a bunch of raging pillaging rapist fucknuts should I be offended simply because the vikings and me share some tenuous connection? She probably got paid for it. And it spread bad news about the town they were suing, helping their case in the long run. So it was a smart move, fiscally and logistically. [editline]09:17AM[/editline] [QUOTE=MrRelys;18907525]Where's all these Christians in America this guy is talking about?[/QUOTE] I know of at least four meeting places where the stupidest of them gather to talk about how Obama is satan and evolution is the devil if you want to find out.

[/quote] But I haven't. I haven't thrown a single insult at you, but here you are, getting riled up to the extent at swearing over a disagreement. If you're trying to make theists look like bad, aggressive people, the least you could do is not act like your portrayals.
[QUOTE=Majache;18907424] I'm agnostic.[/QUOTE] Atheism = Agnosticism :eng99:
I live in an area full of religious people. You know what they do towards atheists? Nothing. Although it violates the girl's beliefs and whatnot, she's fucking stupid. It's a simple prayer they do. I would much rather join in than being an outsider and becoming school enemy number one. Sometimes you have to go with the status quo, and if that means doing something (within reason, they weren't forcing her to spread the word of god or some shit) that goes against your beliefs then fine.
[QUOTE=Hunterbrute;18907571]Atheism = Agnosticism :eng99:[/QUOTE] I wanted to see if it effected his answer so I could berate him. Sadly he's not quite that stupid. :(

I don't see where I said "fuck theists". One, you missed the point. I said you shouldn't get your panties in a twist jsut because I insulted some people with a tenuous connection to you. Second, I'm not trying to make theists look bad, stop being so paranoid. Third, I swear all the time. It's the internet. Negative fucking connotations attached to goddamn dickshitting words are attached to those motherfucking words because those fucking words are used as motherfucking expressions of fucking anger, so they bring forth some fucking violent goddamn emotions. However, if they're used repeatedly, they lose their sting to the sayer and become tools of conversation. Put shortly, I curse a lot because I think censoring yourself on the internet is stupid.

Even if you strongly believe there is no god. Isn't there a factor of why not? Like if there is a god you will be saved and if there isn't you will still be fine....so why not believe? why take the chance
[QUOTE=Edthefirst;18907704]"Within reason" Besides, you'll never get anywhere if you are effectively thrown out of society.[/QUOTE] You'll never get anywhere if the only people you ever do any sort of business with are those who would excommunicate you simply because you don't share their beliefs.

Look, either come up with a valid point to defend yourself or stop posting.
