You May Be A Fundamentalist Atheist If...

If you haven't read this, you need to. It's tongue in cheek and yet, I've seen a LOT of these come into play in my conversations with atheists in my life. I will just say as a disclaimer:

I LOVE THEM, GOD LOVES THEM, even though the majority are mean, bitter, angry, and foolish people. I do love them because God said so. Which is a sample of the irony of life!

"

Although you've memorized a half a dozen proofs that He doesn't exist, you still think you're God's gift to the ignorant masses.

You believe the astronomical size of the universe somehow disproves God, as if God needed a tiny universe in order to exist.

You think questions like, "Can God create a rock so big that He cannot lift it?" and, "Can God will Himself out of existence?" are perfect examples of how to disprove God's omnipotence and ultimately how to disprove God. When someone proves to you the false logic behind the questions (i.e. pitting God's omnipotence against itself), you desperately try to defend the questions, but then give up and go to a different Christian site to ask them.

You are a person who absolutely believes that life came from nonlife, yet absolutely deny the possibility of anyone rising from the dead.

You won't bet $10 on the football game because a 50/50 chance isn't good enough, but you have no problem gambling with your life on the nearly impossible odds of a cell randomly generating from nothing.

Engaging the "slippery slope" fallacy, you think you can invalidate the whole bible by discrediting Genesis, since 'the whole bible either stands together or falls apart'. However, when a Creationist tries to invalidate the whole doctrine of naturalistic evolution by exposing the sheer improbability and lack of evidence of abiogenesis, you note this point as 'irrelevant'.

You think the movie “Inherit the Wind” best describes the eternal struggle of how an evolutionist is being treated by creationists in this religious society. And you can personally relate your life to the Scopes Monkey Trial.

You ignore “Time Magazine’s” poll, which states that only 28% of Americans believe in evolution. But of course, “Time Magazine” must been run by creationists.

You teach a belief only held by 28% of a nation, as truth beyond any shadow of a doubt because only educated people believe in evolution. Yet of course, you ignore that fully educated scientists in most other nations have proven against Darwinian theory. Like the Chinese paleontologist who reportedly says: "In China we can criticize Darwin but not the government. In America you can criticize the government but not Darwin."

    Most evolutionists are Christian. This post is based on quite a few false generalizations.

    So since only an alleged 28% are atheists that means its discredited? Why do Christians and any group that believes in the supernatural (which is what you do believe. In supernatural occurrences that cannot be proven) have such a problem with people not believing.

    I don't believe in god(s) because I not only clearly see the overwhelming lack of evidence for it but more simply it doesn't do anything for me. I do not need god in my life to feel like I have a purpose. I do not need god in my life to have morality. I can do all that by myself. No faith required.

    And discrediting Darwin? I always wonder why believers always tend to link Darwinism and religion. Darwinism is BIOLOGY. Religion is THEOLOGY. Darwinism is a factual representation of what we see before us. It depicts how we evolved and are still evolving and it can be proven. To the point where since there is so much evidence FOR Darwinism that religious institutions are now aligning themselves WITH it and saying evolution is also an "act of god" where before we were just all created in a few days. Just change the story a bit and they get to keep their followers, right?

    Atheists don't believe in zombies and anything of the like because it is ridiculous. I don't believe anyone can rise from the dead just like I don't believe in vampires. Because they are bedtime stories for children and not intelligent adults.

    And those "can god destroy himself" questions really just point out the flaws in an argument for god. This omnipotent being, created a universe (possibly multiverses) spanning over 13 billion light years so he could watch over the beings on the third planet of a middle aged star? Why? Does that even make sense?

    Are there unanswered questions? Absolutely! But i refuse to just chalk this magnificent universe and planet down to "oh, god did it" and leave it at that.

    And for the record...Atheists don't really give a fuck what anyone else believes. We just dislike Religion taking over and enforcing their belief systems onto other people. You want to believe in god? Go and do that, but don't restrict anyone because of the way YOU think. Which is exactly what you people want. Everyone to hold the same moral ground as yourself. It is any wonder that nearly 70% of the world population lacks religious freedom? You are a PRIME example of why.
