    If your faith can’t survive the existence of someone a little more secular than you, or a few probing questions from an atheist, then I think your faith is the problem.

    The mere fact that I am an atheist who values a secular society not ruled by an organized religion, does not oppress you, Josh. I wouldn’t know how to oppress your spirituality even if I wanted to. Another thing: spirituality does not equal religion. They are not the same thing. Read a dictionary, then the bible, and then grow up. Problem solved.

      Fellow atheist here. I swear, are you me because I feel the same way? All these people on the right come across so childish in their beliefs and behaviors. Whenever I get them talking about their hangups that is usually the question I ask them. Are you a baby or something? It forces them to self reflect which I think many of them are lacking in doing on a regular basis.

    Fuck that dude. What a weaselly opportunist coward.

    Blaming atheists for the negative reaction to stripping people of rights and dignity is the exact kind of projection they use to let you know they want you gone if you don’t believe.

    Spoiler belief is an unquantifiable undefinable made up non-existent thing.

    They can just use it as a free “this guy doesn’t believe like we do” and then you’re gone even for people who are actually in their stupid religion
