Why are many atheists so angry?

I dont know religion rates of Usa prisoners but I know the fact that a big part of christian community around the globe doesnt care about christianity , especially the new generation youth is not on religion , they are atheists .

 

Faith groups are not an issue for me until they resort to still brainwashing little children which I consider child abuse and foisting their nonsense on the public. Stop indoctrinating children when they are little and keep your faith to yourselves and out of the public sphere I have no issues with religious people.

 

Atheists are angry because they know they've been living a lie and can't seem to win over the populous with their Harry Potter delusions.

 

For me at least....there is no anger.

I am entertained on this forum when the religious decide to post either fabricated reality, or as in he case of this thread (and many others), false claims that Atheists are the ones that start dispute.

It seems many of the devout feel the need to get "Militant" toward anyone who disagrees with them, even their own.

Few Atheists actually care what you think....we just accept you are confused, and dismiss you for what you are.


It is not until you call us out, or become entertaining that we decide to mess with you.

 

I'm only an angry atheist when people always bring up religion when I am discussing my personal life with them, like friends or relatives who start babbling about God and how God's watching out for me and how things will get better because God is with me. It's annoying especially when they know i am an atheist and why I am an atheist. But other than that I am a pretty happy atheist. And I don't usually define myself solely on my atheism.

 

So Muslims aren't allowed opinions? Typical Christian

 

She's a Muslim, Colonel K assumed she was a 'Christian', so his question was ironic.

 

'Many' and 'constantly' are weaselly words in this context. How many is many? More than ten people in the world? More than a hundred? More than half a dozen people in this forum? What? And how often is 'constantly'? Are you talking about atheists you know off the internet? On the internet? Only on forums? Only on this particular forum?

Basically, what you posted amounts to "there exists more than one atheist who can be mean on occasion."

Well, somebody call the waaaambulance.

 

What a fine example of your moral values this bigotry you so openly display is.

 

Well I am certainly turned off by organised groups that are focused solely on atheism, like the brights or american atheists. But to say 'people' (another weasel word) are getting turned off by atheists in general is blatantly misleading. Certainly people like you exist, who are 'getting turned off' by atheists. But if you look outside your echo chamber, you can see that Gallup polls showed that even in the US, people defining themselves as 'religious' declined from 73% in 2005 to 60% in 2012, and 'convinced' nonbelievers rose from 1% to 5% in the same period. And atheism is also rising globally too.

 

Where exactly did that happen?

 

Not fast enough. I say we target older children of faith and let them know what their faiths teach I did that when a nice tween girl tracted me and opened herself to my message. I used a simple analogy in WW2 the Nazis killed millions of Jews, Gypsies and other people like Homosexuals in camps and that was bad right, your a nice young lady so you don't approve of that. (she agreed she did not) I then added under your faith god doesn't change he is like he was in old times and is the same now this includes the actions he did. (yep no issues) Now I want you to think about this read the story of the Exodus where god freed the Jews he tortured and killed many men, women and children and innocent animals with plagues was that a good act is that any different than those bad Nazi's who we agree were very bad? I want to add a good god would have found another way I'm an atheist I have one that would impress send angels in a display of diving power to lift the Jews to the new land, take half the wealth of Egypt as a fine to go to the Jews and then smite all the idols of other gods in a way no one is hurt. Now wouldn't that have done the same thing and would any people after that dare hurt the Jews?

Her parents were pissed off and the pastor with them but I didn't lie you READ these stories comparing it to a "good being" then they are not really going to sway anyone unless god changes and if he does is the book called the Torah relevant now morals can change then and god was a monster but now is not?

 

first off, the MAJORITY of atheist are evolved theist.

Basically, when a person wakes up to find out that they have been lied to, by their parents, preachers, peers and even friends about the 'existence' of a magical mystical entity called a 'god' or simply see that there is no way that mankind or any life can be kicked out of 'the garden', then people become angry about being lied to.

i personally want all to stop the 'false witness' and give the children a chance that you and I did not have, from day one; the truth. I hate liars and the idiots that mislead (false witness), anytime.

misery loves company.

I agree that there are many angry, militant atheists.
Perhaps these are people who are responding to the tendancy for the 'religious right' to impose their brand of morality through legislation, much of the time while declaring that people who don't share their faith in a specific "flavor" of religious dogma will "burn in Hell".

Perhaps, many people are immediately branded as "angry" simply for asking questions that make theists uncomfortable.

 

Could you please site the study in which these tendancies are documented?
If there is no such study, I assume you have conducted some sort of survey in which you measured the relative politeness and vocal patterns of individuals in relation to their religious belief?

If not, your experience is limited to forums such as this one and you should avoid flame-baiting by making insulting generalizations about the personal behaviors of a large demographic.

You might also want to practice composing sentances with correct structure prior to insulting the communication styles of others.

 

So much so that the pope has just offered lowering his flocks waiting time in purgetory, on the basis that they follow his tweets. Yes, forward thinking indeed.

 

I believe this post adequately answers the question in the OP.

 

Just more of this.

 

This thread is funny. Like as an atheist I am threatened by religion. While sometimes I get frustrated when people us the Bible or such books as fact in debate, for the most part their beliefs amuse me./ The thought of these mopes wasting their time on their knees or in a confessional (or worse yet doing penance) just concretes my belief in the follies of humanity.

 

This is my observation and you could easly see angry atheists in history : )))

 

Because...
Society is always divided into those people who believe that the sexual employment of their own body is off limits to what other people think, and they resist and angrily resent being told that the use of the body in regard to sex is totally up to them.

In America, the Feminists have specifically so stated that the use of "a woman's body is" even in regard to a fetus growing inside it is "totally outside of the domain of the Social Contract."

Homosexuals insist that their sexually promiscuous life style and the promotion of gayness publicly is likewise no one's business.

Hollywood, Nude dancers, sexual content in publications, porno, etc are also claiming that society has no legitimate case for restricting what people can see or print or merchandise.

Since Religion is totally opposed to such imprudence, (or say they are), these people are angry.

 

If we see the Cross as the scepter of Truth since Jesus said, "I am the Truth, and the way, and the life," the apparent contradiction goes away since sexual immorality DOES hurt the blind and deaf who refuse to see the connection with $1 Trillion dollars Welfare costs last year, the crime by kids raised by Single Mothers, now 50% of all families, and the destruction of the Institution of Marriage by No Fault Divorce, Gay inclusion, Living Together Life Styles, shameless adultery, 14 years of jaded sexual adolescence, and Abortion as means to continued illicit sex.

 

Yeah, they are just funny and inane useless pretenders.

70% of all abortions are by never married young girls who check off "Christian" on the forms they fill in.
The Church is full of "experts" on arguing the Bible's interpretation, old ladies who actually attend, the ritualized Holiday visitors at Easter and Christmas, and families with teenagers who are scared to death of the peer pressures they see and accept.

No Black minister is going to condemn Welfare and Single Mothers for raising father kids who are responsible for 70% of all violent crime in America, nor will the White ministers tell their congregation that Abortions can be reduced by 2/3rds if their daughters get married instead of sexing the boys until they are 26 years old.

And, they seem to have forgotten that Christ is The Truuth, not some nice guy who says "You are OK, I'm Ok."

 

Didn't jesus also say something about not judging others, unless you were happy with being judged yourself/ And not casting the first stone, unless you are without sin?

 

I think what you wrote is not what you meant.

But we should have guessed you would turn this debate into one about sex yet again, as you always do. You know, sometimes a cigar is just a cigar, my friend.
