What us atheists objective

I've never encountered an atheist who made it their business to convert people to atheism. Condemning and discrediting theism isn't a mark of militancy, it is (at least in this context) a defense mechanism against the proliferation of religious dogma in society, whether that's government or the creation and enforcement of social taboos.

Nor is being passionate a mark of militancy. I think this is where your confusion lies.

Have you? I usually don't bother reading your posts.

What's your point?

Phew! Dodged a bullet there!

You have now met an atheist who makes it his business to convert people to atheism. That is because I believe that rational thinking leads to atheism, and that rational thinking is vital to a functioning human society. Faith is a virus of the mind that people can be talked out of. Faith leads to decisions that are not based on reality and therefore result in negative consequences. If rational thinking led to theism, I would probably feel the same way about theism.

 

What's wrong with social taboos? Or do you like bestiality, incest, ... other taboos too horrible to name?

 

Unfortunately, the manufacturers of tinfoil are our greatest enemy.

 

BLAM!!! Right between the eyes!

 

Please try reading what I write before responding from now on.

I don't have a problem with social taboos as a general concept, and certainly don't have a problem with bestiality and incest being taboo (not that either of them require religion to be taboo). I have a problem with religion being the cause of a social taboo. Like divorce, for example.

 

And how does that manifest? I've never noticed that aspect of you on these forums.

 

I'm a new convert. I've been blessed in the river of the light of reason.

 

I'm REAL'ing.

 

Like (gasp!) interracial marriage? It's against God's laws, you know.

 

There are higher planes of consciousness beyond Christianity.

 

That is just your overactive imagination contriving things that have never been shown to exist.

 

Well...it's almost time to leave for East Texas for Thanksgiving..so I don't have time for a long response. Just one question for our Christian friends. How many strangers did you invite into your house and feed this week? This atheist fed one 21 year old from New Orleans who knocked on my door trying to sell me something, and hadn't eaten all day.

Be EXCELLENT to each other, and party on dude.

 

They exist. You've just never seen them before.

 

Neither have you, so stop lying about it.

 

I'm not lying, I'm telling the truth. You just don't want to hear about it because it threatens your worldview.

 

Happy Turkey Day!
