Why "militant" atheists are despised and ridiculed

Mod Hat — No

We're not doing this today. Or any other.

Really, Dave, If you were nearly as smart as you think you are, you would know better, by now.

i can measure your life in seconds

 

you don't want to die, do you?

 

You're sorta raving, maybe you should have a drink and relax.

 

This seems like terrible units to use for that particular measurement.

 

Despising & ridiculing is common social negative action to drive individuals conformity.
you see this in ex-communications and solitary confinement of children and adults inside religious sects.

you see this commonly in most conservative religions where people who do not obey the narcissist leader are deemed to be evil or morally disgusting and so should be ignored by the group.

you need to give some clarity to the word "militant" and how you mean it
give some examples of militant atheist versus no militant atheist

 

you can see hundreds of millions of dollars created on this function through
Reality TV
TV Drama's
Romantic Comedy's
Etc...etc...etc...(some comedians style specifically to this with vast success & approval)

it is not a unique individual aspect of human culture
it is an immersive state of human emotional psycho social function

being "persecuted"
versus "feeling persecuted"
is divided up into
behavioral emotional(majority)
mental illness(majority)
abuse (majority)
environmental physical(poisoning noise etc)[rare but consistent & frequent low level]

 

We are all going to die, Dennis, and so long as I have my affairs in order first, and my son is taken care of, I shall be content.

But if this is a death threat from you, a nutcase in Montreal, then I must say it is mildly amusing.

 

old joke:
At an atheist's (Fred) funeral
Fred is lying in his casket dressed in his best suit
one friend turns to another
and says
"Poor Fred all dressed up and no place to go.

 

long ago
I was at a family reunion at my uncle Elmer's place in northern Minnesota
My cousin Margery had married a minister
we were talking, and he told me of his walks in the woods formulating his sermon
so, just for him,
I created a minister joke
"An absent minded minister was pacing his hallways trying to formulate the words and pattern of his next sermon
as he passed the dining room wherein his son was doing his homework
his son asked 'dad, what is diagnostic?'
unfortunately
His father heard 'dad, what is die agnostic'
and confidently replied
'something most of them won't do' "

im no coder so i dont know how to
but i know enough about IT technology to know if you piss off the wrong person
they may decide to turn up on your front door step when you are your family are eating dinner in front of the TV and lob a few nails bombs & incendiary bombs through your lounge window

then shit gunna get real
& no amount of "i was just joking" is going to un-dead anyone

 

for some reason your comment reminds me of a women, mother of a guy i was best friends with
stunningly smart guy
probably a scientist now
his mother would talk out loud to herself alone, like an actor might practicing their lines
she was a devout baptist & talked in tongues in church(so he told me).

now i realize she was obviously psychic or psychiatric
she liked me & i liked her initially, but as time went on her mood toward me soured considerably as her life started to become more difficult(stress)
she didn't harbour grudges and was a nice as pie to anyone and everyone(lovely person, she was like a school teacher right out of little house on the prairie)
...
...after many years reading while the vast majority of people deny it
around 50% to maybe 70% have voices in their head talking to them or talking.

being able to vocalise that to process it so it doesn't drive you to run outside naked and under a buss
is a win in anyone's books

but playing in that mind area, to service your ego
as some self anointed preachers do
is like hitler shooting up crack in an STD clinic
