    Atheism is the worst religion because, it's a faith built on destroying all other faiths. Wait, that's radical Islam, as well. Okay, both of them.
    not believing is not the same as believing. scepticism is not the same thing as faith. Faith is n a requirement of consciousness even if it is for your particuar worldview. Not collecting stamps does not make you a nonstampcollector.

    Christianity is an exclusionary religion as is judaism as is Islam.

    Atheists dogma is pretty damn religious and yes I know plenty of them. They remind me of high school bullies or the fat rich kid in high school when they talk about religion. Their common meme is meme is "I don't believe in fairy tales". They mock it from the get go and really are a waste of time to have a conversation about it. I simply smile and nod.

    do they just walk up to you and say they don't believe in fairytales or do you bring up religion first?

    No, I get the distinction but, it only exists, if you're truly apathetic about what anyone does, with respect to their religious faiths.
    And that's exactly how I feel.... I don't really care whether or not you choose to follow any religion, just don't use the law to force your beliefs on the rest of the population and it's cool, tbh.....

    funny, I do the same when people tell me I need to believe in a fairy tale to avoid being punished for not believing in the fairy tale.

    I never initiate those conversations about religion. Sometimes I join in. I mainly observe.

    If your friends are constantly belittling your religion around you unprovoked, it's not because they're atheists, it's because they're assholes.

    What's the appropriate number to know?

    it would probably get invaded by people like those English Crusading fellers from back in the day.
    Nah, they got theirs, y'all go ahead. Just don't us once you're there.

    Sure you have. But I imagine you're the type that can't have a 5 minute conversation without politics or religion coming up, so most of your friends, or the people you spend a lot of time with, are probably the same way.

    And I've found that the majority of those kind of people are assholes.

    You'd be surprised. I have an in-law I love to death and would do anything for that voted for Obama and is going to do it again.

    Love is more important than politics...and, it's the principle tenet of my religion so, no problem there, either.

    And I've found that the majority of those kind of people are assholes.
    If you're finding a lot of insufferable pricks in your real life, I'd look at the common denominator; you.

    I'm not finding a lot insufferable pricks, that's my point. If most of the atheists you know are assholes, you either don't know many atheists, don't know many people, or you hang around too many assholes.

    Jehovah's Witness are funny because they only think 144k people are going to be brought into gods kingdom following Armageddon. Everyone else is subjugated to the 144k or goes to . Sounds like the religion for me!
    That's not true, from what I understand. They do believe that only 144k will go to Heaven, but they do NOT believe anyone is going to , as they don't even believe exists. They believe that if you aren't part of the 144k that goes to Heaven, you either simply just die (and no spirit lives on), or you will live on forever, happy, on a Heaven-like NEW Earth (as the Bible says there will be) with no sickness, death or sadness, etc.

    Just sayin..

    There's your mistake; it's not just the atheists I personally know (and, I would agree, most of them are cool because we just ignore the topic), it's most atheists I've encountered throughout life. The vast majority of atheists I know, whose self-identification as such is one of the first things you know about them, are insufferable pricks or, in the case of Madalyn Murray O'Hair, s.

    Hey, speaking of insufferable pricks, what happened to "Starbucks Appreciation Day?" I've been by a couple of them today and it looked like business as normal.

    can't be normal. the bible beaters in here say your business won't be rewarded if you don't run them with god.
