Very based, very cool, thank you Kanye
Why do all the fedora guys look like Dollar Store Matthew Lillard?
I made fun of their very early reddit-type edgelord memes and they banned my ass too
Back on the old place I subbed to the religious meme subs of all the religions I did not beleive in, because they actually had fire memes, rather than the Atheist sub cringers.
M'lady.
Good meme, butthurt community
Amen
Thank you for sacrificing yourself for our memes.
I can find a comment by you that got removed a year ago, but no ban.
Sounds about right, if I saw disgusting Islamophobia I would call it out, IDC if they believe in X fairytale, there's generally a line.
Are you insinuating someone would LIE in a shitpost?
Where's the "lie", my guy??
I can no longer post in the community, and they found I once commented on a grandpa-tier 'me stand against the IS-LAMS' meme as a possible reason why.
Trust me, if i could shitpost in my people's meme community, I would!
You should be able to. There is no ban on record.
They look like this:
Oh wow ig I mustn't know what I'm talking about, I tried to post and all I saw was:
Why are you getting combative? There's no need for that.
I was curious for the reason behind your ban, so I went looking. But it's not there.
You're welcome to check the modlog yourself, and find that there is no entry for your ban.
It's a real shame that a lot of atheist communities online are just circle jerk condescending bs. There are some interesting discussions to be had but I guess we'll have to look elsewhere.
I mean, if you wanna talk about the multiple books that I've read about Judaism and early christianity this year, I'm down.
One was about Jesus as a messianic Jewish preacher. Another was about how he went from messiah to God after his death. Another was about how he ingeniously social-engineered his way to the cross because he believed he was the messiah because he was so clever that he was able to make it happen. Another is about the author's thesis that he was never intended to be seen as a historical person and that he always existed in heaven but was crucified in the firmament between heaven and earth but then the new idea developed. That's half so far.
Hey some guy, if you wanna talk about books you've read this year, you gotta list the titles to attract people who have read said books.
Or... at least to enlighten us poor stupid fuckin idiots who can't surmise what you read from your vague ass descriptions....
See above
Deadass, it seems like atheist communities are full of these vibes
Like I was that kid once, but grow up please
Well maybe many of those communities are actually filled with 14 year olds
Can confirm, was an edgy atheist when I was 14 then real life managed to chill me the fuck out.
they absolutely are. Where else can a teen growing up in a religious family and forced to attend church/mosque/temples vent their frustration, and they are definitely going to be edgy about it, that's what being teen is about after all
If you don't let your inner 14 year old atheist out every once in a while what's the point?

I was banned because I said that a meme wasn't Atheist but plain Islamophobia. No explanation given.
This is such a huge problem in atheism communities, which is why I don't spend any time in them despite being secular and non religious myself (yeah, I honestly don't even like using the term "atheist" anymore). Religious or not, you shouldn't be telling people what to believe or how to believe. That goes for hardline Christian nationalists just as much as it goes for hardline Atheists attacking anyone of faith. If it's not hurting anyone, let people believe what they believe.
Thanks, Sam Harris.
I read "The Moral Landscape". 90% of it is pretty good, but he'll randomly drop "and that's why we need to be worried about Islamic takeover of western Europe" into something completely unrelated. He spends a lot more time complaining about Islamic fundamentalist than he does the Christian fundamentalist who actually have political power in the US (and to a lesser degree, western Europe). Then you get to a chapter that's all about religious influence on society, but it's all about relatively relaxed Christians who have Ph.Ds in some field and show up at scientific conferences.
You might expect a word somewhere about the fundamentalist Christians who control roughly half of Congress, but no. It's all Muslims and Christians who make it a more personal thing.
Wow, that is pretty ridiculous
Religious or not, you shouldn’t be telling people what to believe or how to believe. That goes for hardline Christian nationalists just as much as it goes for hardline Atheists attacking anyone of faith. If it’s not hurting anyone, let people believe what they believe.
I would agree, but I've actually become sympathetic to the opposite viewpoint recently. It is hurting people. Look at the policy decisions in the US that are driven by religious fundamentalism. Heck, just think about the core premise that faith is stronger than reason. That's an inherently problematic and extremely exploitable viewpoint. I don't think something like religion can be counted as harmless by ignoring all the examples of harm that it causes. If a belief is only not dangerous when it agrees with other beliefs, and is dangerous when it disagrees, then that is a fundamentally dangerous belief all the time, which only becomes apparent sometimes. I think religion has a purpose, to give community to those who need it, but fundamentally it is not good.
spoiler
If God is reading this, I'm sorry, but I do hope I get points for trying to hold good beliefs from fundamentals. It's also a reasonable religious viewpoint that organized religion has been taken over by the literal Antichrist. You could say that I hold faith that good acts are judged accordingly regardless of religion.
...I would make a really weird Christian.
The thing is that is exactly what I mean by having a problem with people who force their religious values onto others, which is expressly not okay. But I know plenty of people, be they Christian, Muslim, Jewish, or whatever else who practice their faith in their own lives and do not disrupt the lives of others according to their beliefs. As a matter of fact, the vast majority of religious people I have met and know in real life are like this. Christian nationalists are different, they don't respect the beliefs of others and want to force their faith onto other people. That's where the line is. What I have a problem with is those who attack people who are not past that line, who are practicing their faith in their own lives without forcing anything onto others.
I think that's fair. I generally follow that philosophy in my personal life; many members of my family are religious to various degrees, but we don't really discuss it much, and their beliefs don't really effect my perception of them, because we don't try to force our beliefs on each other.
I agree with this sentiment, but Christianity is partly defined by "spreading the word of god". So "telling people what to believe" is par for the course (think missionaries).
Curious though, why do you not refer to yourself as atheist? Non-religious is actually not very specific. Non-religious can mean Agnostic Theist, Agnostic Atheist, or Atheist.

Have you tried sprinkling a random reference to "sky fairy" in your post? Teenage atheists think they're clever every time they hit that one.
Fuck off, everyone knows it's the magic sky fairy, fake fan
