Atheist support, discussion, and information sharing thread

[The_Lady_Snow]

Can you take that convo into private Drew and respect this space? I mean really why is it people who don't follow the Christian Doctrine can't have a thread to talk about it? It's pretty shittty to bring up your religious views when it is clearly not that kind of thread.

I have to tell you my own secret prejudice though: I think atheists are more intelligent, and braver, than those who can't bear to look at reality. Not to bash you. Jar.

Neither post contributes to this thread.

I consider myself to be a non-practicing Pagan leaning strongly towards Atheism.

That being said, I do not go into Christian, Jewish, Muslim, etc. threads to discuss why I am not (insert religion here) or to tell them that I think they are out of tune with the universe.

This really isn't about my religious views. I rarely if ever discuss those details on this site, to be honest, and I just said in my previous post here that I don't follow the Christian doctrine. And I am addressing a comment about how someone believes that one group of people are less intelligent and brave than another. I am not in any way shape or form bashing atheism, and I said that. I am addressing one particular thing that was said that I found pretty icky against a group of people I belong to.

Respectfully Ms Snow, I have seen you do this in threads on various topics where you see something that you find personally offensive. Just because this is a support thread for atheists, that doesn't mean it is ok for anyone to use this thread to say something unkind and mean about non-atheists. And yes, I fully acknowledge that atheists are often treated horribly by deists, and I think that is horrible. However, two wrongs don't make a right either.

SO ANYWAY! Jar's gone; tapu's apologized; Lady Snow and AtomicZom are at a draw.

Thank you, NYCBBW for the thread!

I know I just did it in this very thread Drew I asked Jar not to come in and say something shitty, nor do I agree with with Tapu said, and now here we are in Ms Jennifer's thread talking about what I did in the past or what you want done or how off the wall the people who don't follow a doctrine are. I'm no saint Drew but also I just don't get why folks gotta come in here and be jerky about something or topics or what I've done in the past when it has NOTHING to do with the OP's intent. Like here. WE could address my transgressions in private instead of taking up more space in here. Cause frankly I don't believe I ever go into a thread and take a shit just cause I don't believe in something or have different beliefs unless it's an ism Drew and if you feel that is me being disrespectful I don't. ME going into a thread and calling an ism out or shitty behaviours is NOTHING like what has been said by Jar or Tapu just sayin' Drew.
