Atheism in America

[enders_shadow]

So, I know, I know, atheism is just something that middle or upper-middle class white folks have the luxury of thinking about and it's really just a #firstworldproblem that we atheists should be all too happy to have, right

As a pagan with agnostic tendencies I stubbornly believe everyone should be left to their own faiths or woldviews, because it's something very personal to each individual and I am in no position to tell anyone otherwise. This includes both Christians and Atheists. And with all the flak the latter receives from the former, I just don't understand because every atheist I have ever met hasn't been anything but a pleasant, decent human being.

In fact I really wish we had an openly Atheist president who can run this country without the question of faith getting in the way so much. I want one to prove once and for all that personal beliefs are irrelevant for running the American government.

And you know what? Here's something to consider.

Who are we as humans compared to everything else out there? Does the universe really give a second thought about our very existence, let alone care about what we believe in?

Looking at how we play The Sims or Starcraft, it really doesn't seem like that much of a stretch.

The objective is to destroy the base, it doesn't matter how many Zerg die in the process right?

[rimpala]

I'm saying nobody thinks about the zerg, and their little zerg feelings, and their little zerg families lol

The Zerg Overlords and Zerg Cerebrates definitely don't think about their offspring, to begin with.

Yeah, people need to lighten up about religion and do actually make the best of what time they have here.

Frankly I think religion is silly, it's on par with sexual fetishes for silliness except we never start war over those. At the end of the day we argue about who's fantasy story makes the most sense, if any.

I hope you dont expect somebody to have an answer for that. ;p

[rimpala]

Nah

[rimpala]

Not unless the answer is doughnuts

Doughnuts is always a good answer to these kind of things

[the_rukh]

Doughnuts aren't good unless they're forbidden doughnuts.
