Thank god I'm not one of you people.
That's primarily internet Atheists right? I haven't met asshole Atheists in real life. There are assholes in every belief system of course, but I've met very few asshole Atheists IRL.

Nope. I live in Chicago. Waiting for the bus, sitting on the train, inside of White Castle, fapping to hentai at home, Jehova's Witnesses jump out of the bushes at every turn. They're not even waiting till Saturday anymore FFS. I'm sitting on the bus, and the woman I'm sitting next to just turns her head to me and says "you believe in God?"

Don't feel like making a whole new post, so I copy/pasted another one from a post I typed a few days ago.
I was raised by devout Pentecostal Christians on my mother's side and devout Roman Catholic on my father's side. I have three grandparents who work for the church exclusively, and one of them recently retired from being a pastor. I am a nihlist. If this does not speak of the absurdity of the Christian faith in a benevolent God who bore a human savior, of a man made from dirt and a woman made from a rib, and a universe created in seven days (you can dispute that one, because modern Creationist theories state that the universe was created in a relativistic bubble of time, and Earth has been around for a mere 4,000 years), then I am not sure what does. I have decimated a Baptist priest in a formal debate with him on the theistic dais and I on the opposite end of the spectrum- I have convinced many that the existence of God and religion are a falsehood that they serve only the purpose of instilling intolerance and a relativistic form of morality. I have read Hawkings A Brief History of Time, Darwin's Origin of Species, Kaku's works on string theory, and many others- and I have read the Bible, the Torah, and the Qur'an, and other religious works. The answer to the creation of the universe and life is one that will be found in physics and biology- not in gods and parables. We are but a speck in the universe, and when we all die, not one thing in that infinite and unknowable vacuum will shed a tear. There is no god, no meaning to life save that which we assign to it, and morality is all relative.

Murder is murder regardless of whether the executioner finds it justified. If i was around prior to WW2 and managed to shoot Hitler before he formed Nazi party, i would be a murderer. Would it make me feel bad? Not a bit. But i would have broken "the sacred" biblical commandment.
Amazing how you don't see how many things are wrong with Egypt story.
God openly favors certain group of people over others.
God is OK with slavery everywhere else but when Egyptians held Jews as slaves. God kills every firstborn of every Egyptian family, even though Pharaoh was the one who had anything to do with it. But then, he dished even less justified punishment after original sin, so hey. Nothing new.
Plus there are many other instances where god orders people to murder and rape others (thus breaking his commandments).
I've yet to come across an atheist not randomly calling me ignorant, stupid, dumb or a hypocrite for being a Christian. And I'm not talking about agnostic people or just people that don't care about anything like that, I'm talking about serious atheists, like Odlov.
I'm agnostic atheist. Care to point me where i called anyone ignorant, stupid, dumb or a hypocrite? If i do want to insult someone i usually do it subtly - blunt name calling is not my style.
