Very good point Skeeve. It's like when my Dad got a cat bite that got infected. He went to the doctor, and the doctor said "you know, the majority of cat bites I see are infected. Cats must be really dirty!" "Well", said my Dad, "that's probably because if it doesn't get infected, they're much less likely to see you about it." I think the doctor's mind was blown that day.

Why Are You Atheists So Angry? - Greta Christina

>And no, I am not defending religion. Jesus hated religion. Christianity is a relationship with God, not attending church and saying grace.

A friend of mine says exactly the same thing, and this argument perplexes me to no end. You're talking about a relationship with God. The one in the bible. You follow, I assume, a system of belief. The one in the bible.* You are therefore religious, and follow a religion, by definition. If you want to make a distinction between organized religion vs. your own personal "take" on Christianity, so be it, but it seems to me that telling people "religion is bad, god is good" is just a convenient loophole you can use to distance yourself from all the horrible atrocities that have occured over history as a result of the belief in your god.

* You cherry pick the things from the Bible you like, and discard those you don't, of course. And this is good, because otherwise you'd be executing your children for disobeying you and beating your slaves on a regular basis.

The claim that atheism is a religion shows not only a lack of knowledge (or willful ignorance) about the subject of atheism, but also a lack of knowledge about the English language and roots of words.

By the way, have you considered the irony in the fact that as an attack against atheism, you try to demote it by calling it a religion? Isn't religion the very thing you're trying to defend? Oh, that's right, all religions are actually bogus, EXCEPT YOURS! Now it makes sense.

I actually find it very amusing that thumpa28 provided a really good example of EXACTLY what Christina was talking about when she talked about people telling atheists to "tone it down". Thanks thumpa! Next time, perhaps you should watch the video you're commenting on before making yourself look like a buffoon.

>> ^thumpa28:

Looks more like hairy armpit feminist anger to me. Seriously let people believe what they want to, atheists trying to convert are just as annoying as religious zealots trying to convert. Just a different belief system but still BORING.


Nice knee jerk reaction without actually listening to the content of the video.
