On second thought, after some of the replies in this topic, I have changed my opinion. I have written more in [the thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=16159272&postcount=188) about it and moved it to the Pit. ---

Anti-theist vs atheist (look it up if you don’t know the difference!) I myself am an anti-theist. I am the arrogant atheist that you would hate to meet! It absolutely disgusts me that people still believe in this superstition. I could sit here and talk about this for hours. Ill just keep it short. If you are an atheist, STAND up for your beliefs. Quit being a closet atheist and when someone talks to you about go LET them know YOUR beliefs. They are doing it to you why cant I do it back? All you people say “oh just pretend, will makes things better” Really? We as a community already do that with so much BS. The one comment about dinner and praying, Why should I put my head down and pretend to pray? Would you pretend to be an atheist?..NO. Let me get one thing strait. I don’t care if you are christian/jewish/johova blah blah blah. Keep your beliefs to yourself and you wont have to hear mine! SIMPLE! Most of the wars in the world are because of religion, because of different beliefs. Proven fact! My belief, take religion from the world, it would be a much nicer place to live! 😃 ---

This forum is for questions about the functioning of the Board. ---

> [@Gallexy](#): > > I myself am an anti-theist. I am the arrogant atheist that you would hate to meet! I’ll take your word for it. 😉 Welcome to the board, **Gallexy** , but this isn’t the place to debate religion. It’s just our forum for discussing the rules of the board. If you want to start a new thread or participate in one that’s already open, go ahead. I’m going to close this one, though.
