It is freeing to recognize that I have never sinned and it pissed Christians off when I say this. To clarify, in Christianity sin is not simply "the bad things we do" it is specifically an offense against god. God does not exists so i have never sinned against him.

I've been an atheist for for 16 years but it was only recently that I realized this distinction. It short-circuits the guilt based evangelism. It forces the christian to first demonstrate that god exists before they can convince me I have sinned and need to be saved from that sin. And to say the least, they are ill equipped to demonstrate the existence of god.

For a bunch of so-called atheists, yous sure do spend a lot of time thinking about god ๐Ÿ˜‚

There are dozens of churches in my town. There are religious messages everywhere, from billboards to plaques. There are Christian radio stations people play music from when I go into their businesses. Religious people knock on my door trying to convert me.

Of course I spend a lot of time thinking about it. You people shove it down my throat every chance you get.

Best pun in the thread, and the edgy teenagers missed it :)

You people

Mate, we got rid of our religious nutjobs in the late 15th/early 16th century.

Here's the secret - stick them all on a boat, send them off to some distant western continent (we found that 3500 miles was the bare minimum) and let them create the most fucked up country on the entire planet while the rest of us slowly forget about their weirdo religion ๐Ÿ˜‚

I can't help but note that you don't say where you live. And I have a feeling that it's because there are, in fact, religious extremists in your country.

Yeah but they tend to be the "blowy-uppy" type so they tend not to push their agenda either

[โ€“] FlyingSquid 2 points 6 months ago

Once again, you aren't saying where you live and it's becoming more and more obvious that it's because there are crazy Christians there and you don't want us to know that.
