• Atheists, the most hated minority in America

I am one of few open Atheists at my school, and nobody has ever bothered me about it. The difference is that I am not a militant atheist and I don't start shit because of others' beliefs. I have never had someone in my school confront me about being an atheist, they respect my beliefs or at the very least respect that I am different. I offer them the same favor. If you're starting crap about religion, unless they're FORCING you to pray, then you're no better than religious nuts. As for the meaning of life, why do people feel the need to label everything? Why does life have to have meaning? And that's all I gotta say about that.
I may sit on the right, but this is why I have a lot of damn trouble considering myself conservative -- because of these damn discriminatory Christians who run the GOP and small-town America everywhere. This is absolutely uncalled for.
[QUOTE=Ithae;18903640]I'm an atheist. Everyone at my school is a Christian, and everyone at my school knows. They don't care. I think this a little exaggerated. Then again, it's Wisconsin. [editline]05:17AM[/editline] Also, hated my ass[/QUOTE] Where are you from in WI?
I didnt like that news reporter... seemed like a bit of a hypocrite, he wasn't there to challenge their views.. he's there to report the fucking news.

It's an orgy of ignorance, stupidity, death, and holds back scientific advancement and free thought.
I laughed when she talked about the teacher saying "this is a christian nation, [b]and if you don't like it you can get out[/b]" [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nT0OqHr3wHQ[/media]
When the current youth who grew up with the internet eventually get married and have kids, there will be an influx of atheists. For the political party to woo these new voters, they will have to lessen up on religion.
I feel that people that believe in God are stupid.
Religion is so last century.
good old america where extremism is common

This just in: wisconsin, the vatican, and the westboro baptist church are now on my list of "fucking it up for everyone else"
:love: dawkins [editline]08:08PM[/editline] Anyways, the entire video is disturbing. Shit like this shouldn't be going on anymore. [editline]08:11PM[/editline] I don't get any discrimination for being an atheist, infant I only know two people who strongly believe in Christianity.
I'm Atheist, and if I was in her position I would fucking beat the brains out of anyone who made fun of me for it. The brains man, the fucking brains.
Here in Aussieland most of the kids are atheists or they just don't really think about it. As in they just say, "No, I don't really believe in god." or "I think there's something that created us... Dunno what." [editline]08:51PM[/editline] Fucking hell, I just realised I did a massive bump.
This was jawdropping. I know there are retards in the US BUT WHAT THE FUCK!? "How can you be good people without god?" Wtf? Isn't it my choice? Sabaton put good words on religion... More like religious war though.. [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EoAC-DIua1c[/url] Yeah.. Just noticed myslf, I helped my fellow facepuncher here to bump this thread up.
If they want to believe in a supernatural old man with a beard on a cloud that controls their destiny, they can be fucking idiots if they want to.
news man is a douche
I don't mind atheists, as long as they're respectful.
[QUOTE=Boba_Fett;20346219]as long as they're respectful.[/QUOTE] Too bad none of the Atheists here on Facepunch are.
I've always wondered why you have to >be< an atheist. For me it's enough just to not believe in anything.
Oh hey it's me simplemac the guy that complains about Atheists doing the things that religious people do on a smaller scale. In all honesty, seriously. You guys can't say that you don't do some of the same things you complain about. In most of the religion war topics I've read, there's always a pretty sizable group of atheists that goes "YOU BELIEVE IN A GOD? YOU ARE A RETARD PIECE OF SHIT STOP BELIEVING RIGHT NOW." Yes, I fucking realize that religion does a lot of bad things. It also gives some people hope when they need it. It also keeps a good amount of people from being worthless emo pieces of shit over the fact that they believe they have nothing to work for. I mean... Come on. We have a [I]ton [/I]of idiots in christianity, but can't you people think of a different solution than HURF DURF ABOLISH RELIGION FOREVER HURF DURF.
[QUOTE=Death Giver;20346193]news man is a douche[/QUOTE] Agreed, he's obviously very biased.
sometimes, Christians go too far
I always get mad when a religious person not only expects, but DEMANDS my respect to their religion and views. I choose who to respect myself thank you. Also, have a read through [url=http://www.evilbible.com/Impossible.htm]this.[/url] The whole website can be a little extreme at some points, but there's loads of good arguments in there.
[QUOTE=mbutler2;18903718]Wow, I mean I'm a Christian and that is just crazy....my state too! I am disappoint. But the Dad is retarded, [i]violating[/i] the Constitution? Please.[/QUOTE] Actually yea, it would violate the constitution to a small extent by advocating religious practices in a government institution, if it was a private school, it wouldn't apply.
Well I'm just going to say sorry for the above rant, I got a little pissed at religion war thread #20021. I'm just going to say both sides have arrogant, idiotic people.
[QUOTE=mbutler2;18903718]Wow, I mean I'm a Christian and that is just crazy....my state too! I am disappoint. But the Dad is retarded, [i]violating[/i] the Constitution? Please.[/QUOTE] I'm Christian. I got nothing against atheists. If they don't believe, okay. I got no problem.
I'm a Deist, but I go to an all-boys Catholic academy. People don't look at me any differently, except for the hardcore Christians. I've even seen people become agnostic because they think Christianity is too odd for them to accept. But, I have nothing against those that do believe, because it's, well, a belief. I can't change that. Saying "well you can't prove he exists" is an entirely inane argument in itself, because it's one personal belief, and to say you have to prove something you believe in is like telling someone to prove that the universe is curved and infinite, or to count the number of miles in the universe. It's impossible.
I am an atheist. I don't believe in any type of supernatural stuff, gods/ghosts/aliens. I don't push my views on anyone and I don't start anything if people challenge me on it. My values in life aren't centered around religion. I don't need to live my life wondering if there is a bigger plan. I would much rather just live my life, Go to school/get a job/start a family/die, and enjoy whats right in front of me instead of engrossing myself in everyone's opinions/issues.
