What does the rest of r/atheism do during difficult times? by StMungoin atheism

[–]dogboybastard 1 point2 points ago

I have hd no breakup that a hooker and a bottle of whiskey has not cured. Then, on the day after, I get up and continue on my merry way. Mourn the past for an instant then work to build the future. Own your own destiny.

My girlfriend deciding on religion. by kionayin atheism

[–]dogboybastard 0 points1 point ago

I don't see what "kind of Christian" she is that you hate. What Christian?

What church does her gay mother go to where they're okay with it? And if that's the church then how is she the kind of Christian you hate?

sounds... weird...

Maybe you should go into detail what kind of Christian you hate.

Also, I see you're 19.

And, you only dated for 13 months.. that's hardly a relationship and is nowhere considered to be long term.

So, you broke up with her or she with you?

Moved back in with my parents recently. I found this on my bed after a debate with my mom. by yurimxpxmanin atheism

People who "don't believe in science" are the world's greatest hypocrites. They live in a society that science has built for them and they deny it? That's... well, no offense to your mom.. but it's retarded.

Generally the best way to move someone is gradually and in gentle ways. Choosing books by Shermer, like this one may be a good one to start.

Tell her you're more than happy to read whatever literature she wants you to if she'll give you the same respect and read what you give her. in fact offer to have "book clubs" where you pick one, she picks one, and you get together and chat about it.

Teaching young kids Evolution by fukenhippiein atheism

Sorry, my bad, I thought you were the OP.

apparently my eye sight is going and the damn names are too freaking small...

I thought you were the OP and the OP some other guy responding...

I was irritated at "do you have kids" comment... and since I thought you were the OP... well, you can connect the dots.

Evolution isn't a simple concept for 4 year olds. You as an adult can say it's elegant, and I agree with you. But if you have to teach a kid based on their ability to learn at a level at which they can enjoy it.

And, in my experience, everyone always overestimates their kids.

Edited because apparently I can't tell when I'm talking to the OP or not... getting old sucks when your monitor has distance issues...

Look, if your kid expresses an interest and a desire you teach them at the level they can learn. LIsten to me, ignore me, I don't care. I've raised 5 kids so I've been there. If you think your kid is old enough then why listen to some old bastard on the internet?

Do what you want. It's your life and your kid.

Why ask advice and then argue when folks give it to you? If you don't like my 2 cents then just ignore it.

Question for atheists about government. by Kopmanin atheism

[–]dogboybastard 0 points1 point ago

Not sure where you get the idea I have an axe to grind. My example is pretty clear.

Your wording made it seem that way to me. And, no, your example is not clear or I wouldn't have said what I did. So, you have a choice, attack or clarify. To attack and insult is what an asshole troll does, to clarify if what someone who genuinely wants to have a discussion does.

Within r/atheism I don't see any condemnation for any of the failures of governments or atrocious acts that people have done under the vail of the state.

So you're asking why in a forum about atheism we're not talking about politics? Do you frequent r/politics?

I'm not saying that atheists want authoritarian governments for every country but I also don't see really any posts on r/atheism about (for example) Kim Jung Il continued to murder political opponents and starve citizens while making his people consider him a God. That's far crazier than an ignorant suburban housewife making her kid go to church and read the bible or facebook arguments that I see posted on r/atheism.

No more crazier than Muslim men burn the faces off women who won't marry them. And that you do see here on r/atheism. So, again, from what I think you're getting at is basically this

"why don't you talk about the bad shit that governments do"

And my answer is we do.

I have 5, and 2 grandkids.

I never said you shouldn't be teaching your son about evolution. I said 4 is too young. Evolution is an advanced concept that a 4 year old is too young for. Kid's brains are equals not equal and the fact that a genome can modify a species over time based on what is more survivable is something they are not going to grasp. Evolution is really about entire groups of animals dying and not having babies because they can't get food or can't survive a change in the weather. When you start talking about human evolution that's even a harder concept to grasp. Now if you want to start talking to your 4 year old about that then by all means, he's your kid, go for it. You don't have to listen to me. I'm just some old guy talking on the interwebs.

But, if you really want a book aimed at kids (it's older than 4 though) I found and bought this one. I like it. http://shop.skeptic.com/merchant.mvc?&Screen=PROD&Store_Code=SS&Product_Code=b136HB

how do you explain your "faith" in science? by whydiedboyin atheism

[–]dogboybastard 0 points1 point ago

Science is based on proof. It's a process, a series of tools. You don't "believe" in science, you don't have "faith" in science. That is a red-herring argument.

Why are you people all friends with such ignorant dumbfucks on facebook? by also_hyakisin atheism

[–]dogboybastard 0 points1 point ago

I attribute it to people friending high school morons for nefarious sexual purposes...

How many atheists are you guys friends with on facebook? by SupaKawazuin atheism

[–]dogboybastard 0 points1 point ago

Most of my family are very religious... but they are not retards like most FB crap you see. And they choose not to argue with me and I choose not to argue with them. If I see something egregious I will comment but they generally can't counter it. I never post anything from my FB.

You really need to elucidate... give exact examples of what you're trying to talk about. It sounds like you have an axe to grind but you're not doing it every well.

How do atheists cope with the loss of loved ones? by Kyoriiin atheism

[–]dogboybastard 0 points1 point ago

Same way every other human does. Grieving is a human process regardless of creed, color, or religion. Sounds like one is assuming atheists aren't human... like all atheists are aliens from the planet Reptar or something...

My literature class' homework by FUZiON-in atheism

Think about why you want to do it. What do you think will happen? What are you trying to accomplish?

Pick your battles.

4 is too young

Isn't atheism exhausting? How is your guys' stamina? by drk9in atheism

[–]dogboybastard 0 points1 point ago

When I think of Atheism I think of people refuting religion with a fervor, and with all the religions it just seems overwhelming and exhausting to me.

Yeah, like all Christians are evangelicals and out there on the street every day trying to convert new followers.

Gross assumptions are always wrong.

Told my wife I was an Athiest today. by [deleted]in atheism

[–]dogboybastard 2 points3 points ago

First, let her have her space.

But if she'll talk to her some really important questions:

Was her love conditional? What if you were to be paralyzed or lost a limb, or suffered brain damage?

Sorry man, that really sucks. It does. I feel for you.
