“We want people to realize that there may be atheists in their family,” he told the New York Times, “even if those atheists don’t even know they are atheists.”

Is atheism the new gay?

If we hurry, these closeted Christians can celebrate Christmas like the rest of us. As an added bonus, they will no longer be looked upon as people who “believe in nothing, stand for nothing and are good for nothing.”

Mom, dad, sit down. I have something to tell you... This is hard to say, but... I'm an atheist. I've known for some time now, I'm always looking at atheist porn. When I see an atheist and a christian on the street, I try my best to look at the christian and think I could be in a relationship with that. Unfortunately it never works, I always end up having dirty thoughts about the atheist. I understand if you want me to pack my things.

"good for nothing" is wrong, sure. But that's only a few words and shouldn't destroy the overall message here- not to mention that they're only quoting whoever said that, and contextually are not giving that quote full support.

Also, being an Atheist is far worse than being gay. Because you choose to be an Atheist, but you do not choose to be gay. Indeed, as you do not choose to be gay, it is not a sin at all.

That said, the Catholic Church does a lot of things wrong. Especially its core premise. Jesus commands in the Bible to call no one father but God, and no one teacher but the Christ. Catholics call priests father, and Pope even means father. And of course people are supposed to accept church teaching- not advice or interpretation but teaching.

Christians can't even agree on their own doctrine. Here you are openly calling other Christians wrong, while they would say the same of you. You can't even agree with each other, yet you think it is your place to tell me that my beliefs are wrong when you can't even agree on what is right. What kind of monumental arrogance does it take to do that?

I am upset about that, if it actually happens. I'm an atheist too and it annoys me when other atheists try to get religious people to stop believing in God just as much as it annoys me when religious people try to convert others to their way of belief.

Indeed they would openly call me wrong. And that's perfectly fine, because that's what they believe. I am saying that you are wrong because that is what I believe. And if you believe I am wrong, then I expect you to say that. It takes no arrogance at all to say what you believe- everyone can do it if they want.

I was generalizing to Christianity.


People often lump all Christians together, which bothers me somewhat. I've talked to many people who think that Christianity is an ancient ridiculous religion because of things like this, and doesn't really care enough to investigate the differences between different denominations.


Honestly I just wish everyone who is religious period would stop being stupid. I think religion is a very important and useful aspect of society but stories constantly come up like this to challenge that view.

Eh, I don't see the big deal. Converting non-Christians has been Christianity's M.O. since the beginning. I don't see how it's any different from the usual conversion tactics other than the "atheist = gay" metaphors that sound kinda sarcastic, but then I didn't actually bother looking at the site to see whether or not it's a joke site.

And atheism technically isn't a religion since the idea is the absence of a theism, but they sure as hell behave like it.

The second anyone talks about their faith, like piranha to cattle, they swarm, rip, and tear into the poor bastard until he leaves and they declare victory in the name of logic.

It really isn't any different in practice than anyone else's religion.

I see this point bandied about a good bit: religious folks wanting to "help" non-believers (or different types of believers, which I guess would be considered the same thing) by showing them the "correct way." But they don't know what the "correct way" is any more than anybody else does.


That's irrelevant since they feel that there was IS the correct way.

It's called "faith" for a reason.

as hilarious as it sounds, i'm pretty sure most religious people who take their faith seriously have those kinds of views when you get right down to the meat of their beliefs

if you don't truly believe in their god, ultimately, you are living an empty life no matter how happy or successful you are or how much you've contributed to society and that you are an immoral person especially if you know about their religion but deny it anyway
