Topic	Why dont mods do anything when users say offensive stuff about Christianity?
Bio1590 12/23/19 2:16:18 AM #18:	MrMallard posted... Oh yeah. As an edgy 14 year old atheist in 2008-2009, the atheist shit was bad enough that I rethought my position on atheism while not believing in God or respecting Christianity. I think it was synonymous with the anti-PC crowd at the time, because the PC crowd of the 90's and 2000's was the religious right. But as time went on, this came to encompass your standard, shitty "get in the kitchen and make me a sandwich" douchebags, and "God isn't real and I'm not going to hell for being deliberately offensive" turned into people actually getting offended and up in arms about feminism and shit. I'd go as far as to call them proto-incels - they preceded PUAs, who preceded "meninists", who preceded incels. I saw this thing the other day that someone wrote and I think it sums up a lot of the "edgy atheist" movement of that time frame. Definitely brought back someone pretty bad flashbacks of CE at that time The thing that I hate about atheism as a movement is that it doesnt just want to critique the hegemony of Western Christianity, it wants to kill spirituality. There is no joy, there is nothing about it that isnt founded in a pessimism that sees itself as so self-important that it cannot exist outside of destruction. The face of atheism is a white male disgruntled ex-Christian who decided that if he cant find joy in religion, then nobody else can. Theres a leftover missionary sensibility to enlighten people to atheism that exposes itself as racist, antisemitic, and islamophobic, thats ultimately not unlike the dominance exerted through colonial Christianity --- https://imgur.com/bbRWLI8 https:/i.imgur.com/S1m3po4.jpg https://imgur.com/A0BErSV https://imgur.com/7fCcfko <cite>Bio1590 posted [p:931952129] in Why dont m...
