AG, you are killing my hopes, you are a strident atheist!

I also kick puppies too. But only because I hate God due to Him punishing me for my sinful nature, and for that reason I try to deny his existence to replace Him, because I am afraid of punishment.

Wow... The paradoxical nature of campaigning for most strident atheist. To be a strident atheist one must vocalize their superior atheism as opposed to other thoughts, but the more vocal one gets about such strong opinions, the more likely they are to be ignored and forgotten. This means that the more you campaign, and the more you vocalize, the less likely you are to win. If you want to come out of this victorious, you mustn't be too strident, but you should be recognized as strident.

(This message was approved by the psych association of the deeper corners of my mind.)

Not really. Think about it. If one candidate just screamed out "GOD iS DEAD!! ALLAH is a LIE!! !" and other stuff like that over and over, they would get all of our attentions and be shown as strident.

Btw:
GOD IS DEAD!! ALLAH IS A LIE!! ! NO MAGIC FAIRIES LOVE YOU!! !


How loud something is isn't measured by an objective scale; it's measured by the difference between it and the silence before it. If someone is always loud, they are tuned out due to the lack of change. It becomes expected and therefor just not that interesting. Advertising works not because it's loud, but because it's everywhere.

Not to worry. Even a brief review of God's actions demonstrate he is stupid and inefficient and depends entirely on His adherents to administer revenge. Obviously he has gone somewhere else since all his weapons, lightning, earthquakes, tornadoes, McDonald's hamburgers, poison ivy, heavy metal music, flatulence, snotty teenagers, etc do not discriminate amongst believers and non-believers.

Those aren't Christians so much as they're blackmailed slaves.

Oh come on now, between your comment, and the excuses of the Christians for every other crime under the sun, it seems quite clear that there are no Christians.

I'm fairly new, so I am still matching member's posts to usernames and stuff. The only ones that stuck out to me were awesomelyglorious and ruveyn. There was someone in the adolescent forum that stuck out to me, but I don't think their name was on the list and I don't remember it.

On a side note....

How can you engage in a hatred of God, say he means something to you, and even furthermore, attribute characteristics to him while having no belief in him? How can you attribute qualities to something you have no belief in?

The Incompetence of the Lord is manifest in the world. If the Lord had a boss, then that boss should fire Him off the job asap.

Well, that was sarcasm, but there is a small subset of Christian and Muslim apologists who actually advance that line of thinking.

I've only really been surfing this forum of WP recently but I'd say Awesomelyglorious is the most strident atheist. Looking at recent threads anyway. :lol:

DentArthurDent:
Hasn't been around in a while, but he always did criticize religion rather harshly. I would say he was somewhat more civil about it than Sand. I also get the impression that his atheism has something to do with adherence to a specific political ideology.



I find this quite offensive, your appear to be suggesting that I am not capable of individual thought. My atheism and political beliefs may be compatible but in their timeline they are worlds apart. I have been very aware of the complete stupidity of religious belief for a very long time, where as my journey into Marxism is fairly recent, in fact for a long time I tried fervently to reform capitalism, via various NGO's and environmental groups. I am now of the opinion that a belief in the ability of capitalism to reform its essential character is as idiotic as a belief in god.

I actually came back to edit that, as I knew the likes of your good self would pick that up and run with it and I did not want a post modernist fork on the nature of individuality and membership of idealogical groups.
