Assuming I understand the meme, I find the opposite to be true.

Young person is raised in a highly insulated and dogmatic faith. Wants out. Finds company with anti theists and gets the dogma and camaraderie they got in the old faith. Eventually they realize there are tons and tons of people atheist and otherwise who don't think belief should be some type of blood sport.

I feel like this is way oversimplified. You can easily share some of these views while completely rejecting the other ones, and still be anti-theist.

I have no idea what this meme format means, but it's crazy to me people can blind themselves to the most fundamental truth about human existence with delusionals of eternal life where everyone you have ever met is singing kumbaya.

When we indoctrinate our youth into rejecting their sences and logic, how can our species ever expect to progress? Such a shame when you consider how special it is that this 3.4 billion year old blue ball of soup has been sustaining the evolution of carbon based self replicating automata for unfathomable periods of time. Now we carve wishful statues in lieu of embracing our own existence.

This can be taken many ways, both good and bad—depending on where you’re at.

That doesn't cut it; a purely semantic argument from an academic stance is cowardly and impotent. All "gods" and their related cults are an intrinsic obstacle to human development as a species. Don't even get me started on the systemic exploitation of the mentally/emotionally vulnerable, or unchecked sexual predation on children. Fuck your religion, every religion. Full stop.

Alrighty then, but more importantly what is your favorite soup?

[–] littlebluespark 4 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Chowder. It's a hot ocean latte with trash fish croutons. 👨🏽‍🍳🤌🏽

Also if you get a chance maybe read a sentence or two of that wiki article on ignosticism. Seems like your little rant assumed it's some kind of religion. I guess you just saw the suffix 'ism' and got triggered but judging from your angsty sentiment it might be right up your alley.

Tell you what if you're not going to read can you do another ignorant rant for me?

I love how you describe their well elucidated statement as ignorant when the exact opposite is true.

So you consider that to be an 'elucidated statement' about ignosticism:

Ignosticism or igtheism is the idea that the question of the existence of God is meaningless because the word "God" has no coherency and an ambiguous definition.

lol- you're even funnier than the first guy!

Yeah. if they picked one and gave it mouth service and are anti all the rest. Well then that would be perfectly hunky dory. How dare they deny all rather than deny all minus one!

No need for the atheist/anti-theist words to say that social media is cultivating indifference and hatred.
