"You believe in a book that has talking animals, wizards, witches, demons, sticks turning into snakes, burning bushes, food falling from the sky, people walking on water, and all sorts of magical, absurd and primitive stories, and you say that we are the ones in need of help?"
- Mark Twain |

You say that I have no morals? At least I don't need an outdated book, an imaginary god, and the threat of reward or punishment to be good. |

Why do gays disgust you when you do nothing about pedophile priests? |

Often, I hear Americans (more specifically on the left, sometimes the right) defend Muslims. Yet I never hear about people defending atheists, unless if that person happens to be an atheist. As an atheist, I can be given the death sentence in at least 13 countries. In so many more, I can be murdered by people with meat cleavers or the like, and the police wouldn't give a damn. I am discriminated against in MANY countries. In the US, I can't serve in Government in 8 states (last I checked). I can lose my children in a divorce custody battle if my ex-partner is religious. I am given less priority for, say, a kidney, as a religious person is. Crimes against atheists are rising at a fast, and ghastly, rate. People can openly discriminate against atheists. I can lose my job just for telling people that I am an atheist. The list goes on.
And yet people have the audacity to tell me that I'm "privileged"? That I have it better? I'm sorry, but I'm not the one who kills others simply for their religious beliefs. In Muslim-dominated countries, I have the least rights. I am very likely to get killed, murdered, or other, just for being atheist.
I am NOT privileged. Look for privilege before you wrongly assign it. |

It certainly wasn't praying to God that made the atomic bomb. |
|
|
"In God We Trust."
I can't trust someone I believe doesn't exist. |
|
|
Some people want matriarchs (female religious leaders).
Aren't patriarchs bad enough?!?! |
|
|
"They wanna see blood, They wanna see hate, Like needle in your vain, Sickness with no name, In a world that's insane, Was America to blame? When you're prayin' for a change, To a god with no face!"
~Deuce, America |

"One Nation Under God."
Why are we required to say this in the pledge?
It wasn't even added until the 1950s! |
|
|
I will defend your right to practice your religion; but I will NOT defend your choice to discriminate against others. |
|
|
If there is a "perfect plan" that God makes for everyone, and it happens according to what he chooses, I guess God chose me to be an atheist. |
|
|
Freedom of religion is that you have the right to practice your religion, NOT the right to discriminate. |

I just realized something. Well, on 6/23/2020, but whatever. I still realized it.
The reason why Christians, Muslims, Jehovah's Witnesses, and other religions, go around, trying to convert so many people, is for one reason:
They are afraid their religion will die out.
If they weren't afraid, why would they go door-to-door, trying to spread it as fast as they can, like wildfire? They fear it will die out. If they didn't, they wouldn't be trying to recruit as many people as they can.
Atheists don't go door-to-door. Religious people do. This shows a fear among religious people, that simply doesn't happen among atheists. |
|
|
As an atheist, I have faith. I have faith that you're wrong and your God is fake. |
|
|
It is impossible to prove something doesn't exist, that has never been proven to exist. |
|
|
Some religious people say that atheism is misogynistic.
I'm sorry, but I'm not the one throwing acid women's faces, refusing to let women drive a vehicle "because," making sure that women can't be a leader in said religion, murdering women in "honor killings" because they decided to get an education, and more.
So how are atheists the misogynistic ones when it's religious people doing these things? |
|
|
Circumcision only exists because religion exists. |
|
|
Religious people attacking atheists is like feminists attacking Men's Rights Activists (MRAs). They're allowed to, for no reason, and they don't have to listen to their side. They control the government and politics.
The thing is, atheists and MRAs are very alike. Both are hated very much, for no reason. Also, I have found estimates of that about 70 to 80% of MRAs are atheists. |

The 7 deadly sins:
1. Lust. Without lust, there would be no sex; without sex, there would be no children. Without lust, our species would die off.
2. Gluttony. Without gluttony, no one would be trying to get more; no one would be trying to get to the top. Without gluttony, there would be no competition.
3. Greed. Without greed, there would be no desire for money or wealth; there would be no one trying to make better things for money or wealth. Without greed, there would be no improvement.
4. Sloth. Without sloth, there would be no office workers, atheists, and others of the like; there would be no intelligence to spend on improving society and instead on time wasters. Without sloth, there would be no intelligence.
5. Wrath. Without wrath, there would be no anger; there would be no fuel feeding movements. Without wrath, discrimination continues.
6. Envy. Without envy, there would be no desire to have what another has; there would be no incentive to try to get what another has. Without envy, there would be no ambition.
7. Pride. Without pride, there would be no satisfaction with what one has done; there would be no happiness at one has done. Without pride, there would be no confidence. |

If religion is the instinct that we all have, then why have I always been an atheist? |
|
|
The truth is this: I don't believe in God. You can, but don't act like I'm somehow harming you or being idiotic because of my disbelief. Go eat a sandwhich. |

You want proof that religion is the root of most hatred?
1. Christianity was used by a lot of people to justify racism against and slavery of blacks.
2. Islam is being used by a chunk of people to justify their hatred of white people ("white people are the devil" is what some of them have said).
3. Homophobia (Just read the Bible).
4. Sexism (Depends on which side you're looking at: misogyny because it is used to control women, and misandry because men are made into sacrificial lambs).
5. More. (I need a list of evils) |

The fool hath said in his heart, "There is a man in the sky who loves us, so he murdered babies, flooded the earth, hates the gays he created, that anyone who dares to disbelieve is a sinner and is going to hell despite the lack of proof, and more." |
|

Religious people are like TERFs (Trans-exclusionary radical feminists):
They don't make sense.
We have no need for them.
They hate certain groups of people for no reason. (TERFs hate trans people and men, while religious people hate gays, bisexuals, trans people, atheists, other religions, somewhat agnostics, etc. ...)
They annoy everyone (that has brains, anyway).
They indoctrinate.
Etc.
The list goes on! |

There are two types of atheism:
New Atheism- ARGUES that God doesn't exist.
2.0 Atheism- ASSUMES that God doesn't exist.
I am a 2.0 Atheist. I *assume* God doesn't exist.
Which type of atheist are you? |

The only things that need a Shepard are sheep; and do I look like a sheep to you?! |
|
|
What terrifies me is not death, but living forever. That is one reason why I don't follow your religion. |
|
|
When I say things such as "Jesus" "Dear God" and "Holy Hell" in response to something someone said, it is because I find that something to be unbelievable. |
|
|
Instead of blaming all of your mistakes on an imaginary God and "fate", you should take responsibility and admit when you're wrong. |
|
|
Just because I am an atheist does not make me any less than you. |
|
|
Priests hate trans women (MtF) and call them "Predatory men" (misandry, anyone?).
Priests wear dresses.
I fail to see how they can successfully defend their hypocrisy. |
|
|
I find it funny how certain people (especially Christians and other religious people) call trans men (female-to-male) lesbians in denial. Wait until they meet a trans man who likes men. |
|
|
I do the work for myself; not some vacuous concept like "fate" or a man in the sky. |

Christians: The president should NOT be someone who doesn't spend time on their knees.
Gay men: I was born for this. |

Gen Z: The most atheist generation
Religious people: ALL TEENAGERS SCARE THE LIVING SH*T OUTTA ME, THEY COULD CARE LESS AS LONG AS SOMEONE'LL BLEED |

I talk about gods so much because of one reason: I see them as mythology. Every religion to me is mythology. I love to study mythology. I love sharing and talking about what I've learned. That's why I talk about religion so much. |

Here's a little story that I wrote:
*Note: I might transfer this to a drawing that I make soon.
*Note: This is the first draft, and I will change it soon.
Title: A Drop of Ice
A young boy stared up at the sun, from the shade of the cave. He looked young and pale, almost like an albino, but not. His short hair was a snowy white, the same color as the frozen powder on the ground. The sun glared at the surface of the earth, the soft ice unwilling to give in and melt.
The young boy had no name. Even as he stared at the sun with his big, blue eyes, he would never know what it felt to have a name. But that never mattered. He never had had a need for a name, nor would he ever.
As he stared at the sun, he only had one thought in mind: What was it like to feel the sun on one's skin? He had never tried before, and the thought had occurred to him only now.
Tentatively, he began to reach out a hand. He stopped right before his hand entered the sunlight. He was frozen, body tense. If he had the ability to breathe before, he would have stopped breathing now.
He closed his eyes and summed up some courage. Opening them, he thrusted his hand forward. A sudden shock caused him to clench his eyes shut and snatch his hand back. He clutched it to his chest, jaw tensing. A few moments later, the pain vanished.
He opened his eyes cautiously, only to find that his hand was completely fine. Turning it over slowly, he examined the surface. He let it fall down to his side as he looked up. The sky was a wash of watercolor blue, no clouds in sight. It's not like there were ever clouds here. You need water droplets for that.
He steadied himself, relishing in the memory. That was the first time he had felt any kind of pain.
And he loved it.
It was new, something different to a frozen world full of ice. His hunger for it grew. He wanted to taste more, to feel it again.
He desired it. Clenching his hand, he balled them into fists. Maybe he would be able to see how far the horizon went. Go to the edge.
He closed his eyes, whole body tensing. He opened his eyes, blue eyes hardened. The ice-blue of his eyes now had a fire in it, a driven force.
He ran.
The sun never set here. He didn't know what the moon looked like, how it was so much easier to look at. But maybe =that was a good thing. He never would have had the sudden determination he does now.
As he ran out into the sunlight, his whole body felt on fire. Pain seared his flesh, nearly making him cripple. But he pushed on, fueled by the one desire to find something. Anything. Just something more.
His eyes were forced to shut, the pain was too great. He didn't know for how long he had ran, or what distance he gone. The world seemed to go on forever.
Eventually, he had to give in. He slowed a little and then collapsed. Using the rest of his energy, he curled up into a ball. He started to feel himself fade. Taking one last pull of strength, he lifted his head. All around him, was solid ice in the shapes of children. Some were curled up, some laying out, some on top of each other. Boys and girls, all dead.
But how can something that' never been alive die?
He laid his head back down regretting his decision. He wished that he could go back. But he couldn't. There was no turning back.
A few moments later, he disappeared. His body froze over, becoming nothing but ice. Because that's all he was.
A drop of ice.
