That’s what “atheist” means.
Though “criminal malfeasant” and “fucktard” might be a fun self-descriptors as well. Good conversation-starters, I imagine.

Atheist means that to me, but if idiots will continue to claim a different definition of the word and then somehow, magically think that means something different about my lack of beliefs, well the word becomes a liability.
ETA: To be clear, I’m trying to say that I’d rather they used the wrong word but get the sentiment right than use the right word and completely misunderstand the meaning.
And, also, to be perfectly, perfectly clear, the “misunderstanding” of the meaning is often extremely deliberate.
But you don’t have to be an atheist to be a fucktard. There is no escaping the label. It is etched into my mirrors and engraved on all my jewelry. I don’t know how it got there. It just seems to have happened over time.
I’m tending towards “Ignostic Empiricist” myself.
You non-religious people are really hilarious. You claim there can be no God, and your logic behind that is we all came from a little ball of energy that blew up about a trillion years ago. So tell me, you most intelligent ones, how the fuck did that ball get there? Something cannot come from nothing, can it? Thats science, right?
You’re so “smart” (haw haw haw) because you believe in “science”, when you dont have a fucking clue as to what the science means, or what its even about. Its just your way of being “smarter” than everyone else and “rational” and the rest of the shit.
Where did god come from?
Ohhh… burn!
Saying we don’t know where it came from is our way of being “smarter”?
Okay, I’ll give a real answer. We don’t know what came before our universe. The laws weren’t the same then. So science is silent on that issue.
And all religious people believe what they believe with no evidence. That doesn’t mean they’re stupid. It might mean that they’re weak, gullible, incurious, slow, delusional or just plain afraid. If you can find a rational argument for believing in god you’d be the first. Bonus points if you can find a reason to believe in *your *god specifically.
Now, you, Nation, actually are stupid, so don’t bother trying to figure this out. Smarter dudes than you have tried. (Haw haw haw)
Yeah, science really sucks. In about 400 years of real science it has figured out what happened 14 billion years ago to a few microseconds after the beginning of everything. But it hasn’t figured out - yet - what happened on the other side of the discontinuity. What fools we are.
Religion, on the other hand, has done a much better job, accurately explaining the natural world and history as in …
umm
umm
sound of crickets
I don’t think religion has a very compelling explanation for cricket sounds.
Thats the question isnt it? Where did ANYTHING come from? You cannot explain it, I cant, no one can. But to rule out anything when nothing makes sense is narrow minded and egotistical.
No, not you, you’re too smart to have been created, it just doesnt make sense to you, but neither does quantum mechanics or quantum physics… but some scientist told you it did so you go with that.
I’m not a Christian, a Muslim, or anything, but I’m open to all points of view and I dont discard one theory over another one because its the least logical, when none of this shit is logical.
Speak religion to an Atheist and he/she goes insane over it. Screaming and ranting and pointing fingers and laughing because they DONT WANT to believe it… that existence has a purpose or that there is a higher power above them…
The trouble is, my little nub-brain, science works. Science has given you the computer box that your dirty, barely literate little fingers are using to cough out such bullshit.
We work on evidence in this world. There is evidence for science. Science is all about evidence. When evidence is found that contradicts something we think, we go back to the drawing board.
Religion, doesn’t use evidence to come up with its ideas. It doesn’t use anything. It just makes assertions based on fiat.
We don’t know what happened before the big bang. But neither do you. Why do you think it’s a god? Much less a personal god. Much less one of the gods represented by an earthly religion? Much less the religion you’d be likely to choose?
I don’t believe in a god because there is zero evidence for one. If you think that the time before the big bang necessitates a god, then where did the god come from?
But we’re not comparing the theories. When faced with a question that you don’t know the answer to “I don’t know” is the only correct response. Any theory you decide to pull out of your ass are equally and factually WRONG, because you DON’T know.
No, not all atheists do. And those that do, do so because religion is so incredibly stupid that it’s a mark of shame for humanity that anyone, much less so many people actually believes it. It’s embarrassing and irritating to hear people babbling such garbage and actually believing it. And because you and your fellow malignant lunatics refuse to leave those of us who don’t want to share your fantasy alone.
No, it’s not. It’s kind of sad really your open mindedness.
First the limits of our scientifical understanding of the universe is pretty much irrelevant to conclude that christianity is a fairy tale. Are you saying because we don’t know what “caused” the big bang we can’t discount as absurd the notion of heaven or an after life for example?
Anyway if you want to discuss a higher power maybe you can tell me first why something must come from somewhere? Since you’re so open minded and all, you must have figured this one out already. I’d really like to know too.
How about, “it just IS.” And if you’re so smart, what makes you think some vapor in the sky gives a fuck about what happens down here, given the state of things on Planet Earth. Seriously…can you hear yourself?
I’ve already told you that I dont have a clue as to where God came from, IF there is a God to begin with. Miss that one Einstein? With all the wonderful advances in Science you should have been able to figure that one out. Perhaps you were jerking off to a L Ron Hubbard novel?
You Science freaks are really, really funny. You dont have a gawdam clue as to what its about, what it means, or how it applies to anything of significance. You’re TOLD it does, but you dont understand it, yet you accept it.
Like I said earlier, you DONT WANT to accept a God because you think there can be nothing greater than you are. Its your egotistical brain that rejects the notion of a God, because Science has proven NOTHING as to how the Universe or anything in it came into existence. Theories yes, proven? NO.
Now, it may give you the answer you are more likely to accept, but there is no proof. Sorry. You lose. Game over.
Game over?
Bucky, you aren’t even in the game-you are standing outside the stadium, yelling in the general direction of the building.
I would certainly consider something with SOME sort of scientific thought behind it before I’d consider something that has been proven over and over to be a custom-made Explanation for Everything, cherry-picked by each believer so it feels all comfy and soft to their individual experience.
