[QUOTE=carcarcargo;24569026]Haha, the OP actually thinks all atheists are super peaceful liberals who are fighting against the evil Christian's. Honestly my entire area I live in is pretty much atheist and from what I can see, they can be just as much ignorant ass holes as the Christian's you describe. Not believing in god doesn't mean you're some kind of ultra logical freedom fighter, they can be just as ignorant as anyone else.[/QUOTE] Where did he say that? Where did he even [i]imply[/i] that?

[QUOTE=carcarcargo;24571046]He didn't directly say it but it's pretty much the point he was trying to make "I found out how stupid that shit is instead of believing it like lots of other suckers in this world."[/QUOTE] That was a dumb thing for the OP to say, I will admit. However, that does nothing to imply that "all athiests are really smart and good and all religious people are dumb and evil". If I had to guess, he was alluding more towards them being "brainwashed" than anything else.

It's just an observation, I suppose.

What a moron!

don't rip on ur dad.... Most uncool!

You're both [img]http://www.facepunch.com/fp/rating/box.png[/img].

Does your father perhaps look like this? [img]http://rachelmaude.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/sloth-goonies.jpg[/img]

My stepdad works for NASA and he's as dumb and paranoid as any southern christian can get about social matters.

[QUOTE=imasillypiggy;24570397]next time read ops post because he never said your god is not real what he did say is that there is a organism that eats garbage! you guys dont even read the post and just focus on the fact that he is an atheist. he never says anything out of line he is just telling his dad about something he heard on the news all these people that call the kid a bad son are stupid because he never said anything out of line. this post shows that people will only read a little bit of a post and make a reply to it. it also shows that the people that did read the post all the way will forget what the post was about and focus on one thing they dont like you dont get science at all. because everything that has any amount of logic in it should not be talked about to his father.son: oh look they found out that turkey is better for you then ham dad: its all LIES! son: hey dad i fell and hurt my knee dad: thats also LIES[/QUOTE] No, I read the whole fucking thing. I think you didn't read my post, at all. It has nothing to do with him being an atheist. It has something to do with his father being a dumb brainwashed 100% God trusting fanatic. You don't get my post at all. His dad won't believe in experiments with bacteria or anything that is discovered, talked about or backed up by SCIENTISTS. Everyone has enough common sense to understand that your knee hurts when you fall on the ground, that's not science, that's common sense learned through experience (yes, technically it is science because you observe and learn what happens when you fall and hit the knee on the ground, but it's not what we refer to or call science). If you ever told anyone that it's a scientific fact that you hurt yourself when you inflict pain to your body parts then they would call you dumb for stating something obvious that isn't really a scientific fact, but rather just a fact. A fact of life.

Sucks to be you, OP. My Dad is great!

What does he think, that Jesus eats all that oil?

Get a new dad.

OP and his dad are both ignorant in their own way.

Your dad is a stubborn dumbass. [highlight](User was banned for this post ("Reported two week old post" - verynicelady))[/highlight]

This is why you don't bring up religion on the Internet.

Ok, OP :jerkbag:

Read the first page, rage'd alot. Like someone said, there's a difference between beliefs and being wrong. Making this analogy again, it's like his dad said "The earth is flat and there are dragons in China and the moon landing was a lie etc etc etc". Those aren't "personal beliefs" to be respected. He's just wrong, same goes for the bacteria. [B]EDIT: [/B]Did nobody read the OP? He's not annoyed at his father for being Christian, he's annoyed at him because he refuses to believe FACTS

^agree. I'm disappointed at facepunch. Those of you, who tell other posters who tell op to agree with his dad, are stupid, because I'm fairly certain they didn't mean for op to "agree" with his dad. Obviously paps here is wrong, but the best thing to do, is to leave it be.

[QUOTE=No_0ne;24581992]smartass vs dumbass news at 11[/QUOTE] I dont think there is anything wrong with talking about the news.

[QUOTE=Sir Tristan;24534600]I'm not even going to continue trying. When [I]your[/I] mom or dad dies, maybe you will know where I am coming from, or maybe you will continue to be a dense fuck who thinks he knows better than everyone else, and can't just agree for the sake of being nice. Have fun being logical and always right, up until you realize that being right isn't going to get you through life.[/QUOTE] Wow, you're not very smart are you? I disagreed with my parents all the time, and if I felt they were wrong or misinformed, I let them know. But I did so [I]respectfully.[/I] And because of that, they respected me no less for it. You're basically saying people aren't allowed to disagree with their parents or they're angsty teenagers and ungrateful assholes.

[QUOTE=Mrs Affinity;24534072]You are basically being a stereotype athiest who is arrogant and thinks he is smarter than everyone else. Just learn to respect other peoples views even if they aren't similar to yours.[/QUOTE] That dosn't work in a democratic nation, fact needs to overstate the ignorant loudmouths, otherwise mankind will move backwards. Intellectuals are normally passive, analytical and generally reasonable. But idiots are loud, dumb, overzealous and ruthless. Who do you think will be heard the most? It's time we fight fire with fire, and question whatever idiot's out there. The man we just read about is leagally allowed to vote. He does not belive in science, and if he gets enough friends who does not belive in science, science might get outlawed due to democratic legislation. So if you don't express your thoughts, don't come running to us activists when you find yourself being hauled away by two men in visors for not attending church...
