Remember when about 10 years ago this movement exploded in popularity and edgy teenagers everywhere were parroting quotes from The God Delusion?
Now with hindsight, this phenomenon was really weird. Why atheism of all things? Maybe you could argue that it's due to the rise of popular message boards and internet forums, but it's still strange how this was so aggressively pushed. You couldn't visit any site without an image macro of a Hitchens quote in your way. Reddit even made the infamous r/atheism subreddit a default sub for some reason, so every person who signed up to reddit got atheist propaganda on their front page.
Right now, most people laugh at these New Atheists, but the movement has been effective and today your average urbanite is nevertheless an atheist. Nearly all of my peers today are atheists except those from rural areas. Atheists also have the lowest birth rates and are the most likely to participate in degeneracy (besides pedo priests). It's a dysgenic ideology.
Oh yes it was. More like is. They hate our Creator. They want you lost and disillusioned. They NEED you to believe that you are nothing more than a spec of dust that evolved into a monkey. They are distancing you from God, from your true capability. From the fact that man was created in God's image. You are a lot harder to control when you are aware of the fact that you are the greatest thing in all of creation because you were made in the image of God, and the rest of creation was put under your dominion.
New Atheism was SJWs trying to co-opt atheism and getting laughed at. They assumed religious is right wing so atheist must be left wing. When they found out most atheists are right libertarian, they went apeshit, tried to start a pseudo-atheist cult, failed, and burned out.
Luke Rogers
Yeah. Its the new way a person signals status, and little more than that. I get it for teens who are going through their crisis of faith, but for anyone in their 20s it should be a red flag. Being able to admit "I dont know" shows a but more maturity. Its alot more interesting and engaging when you say youre and agnostic and that you dont ascibe to Abrahamism, but still think that non-perceptual entities exist and have effects on human behavior in regards to spirituality. Self described athiests are just jehivahs witnesses with something less interesting to sell you, when in both cases you can only find out what you need from yourself.
Levi Rodriguez
Is there a link between protecting life in the place of birth and sanctuary and environmental protection mechanisms. Is it possible that we can harm humans or the planet to any degree? As a mothers womb protects life is it so but this is a reflection of this manifested on a global front? A compensation plan? What is the missing link?
Jonathan Phillips
That's agnosticism. Atheism is specifically the belief that there is no God.
Carson White
I think they called it Atheism+ for a while. I can't remember the name of the main dude who was publicly the leader of the movement. The main chick was Jen McCreight. Online she went by Jen McWrong.
Zachary Wilson
There are two types of atheists, those who took time to come to the conclusion that god is not likely to exist and considered the consequences and new questions raised from this conclusion, and those hate their dads. The former is far less common than the latter.
Ayden Brooks
They said the same thing about rock and roll, and all sorts of other shit, fuck off with your retarded red scare 2.0.
Atheism is still around, we just don't bother arguing with tunnel visioned idiots who roll their face on the keyboard and regurgitate overly glorified sun worship.
Gavin Johnson
No. Agnosticism is the belief that there is some kind of god, but that god fundamentally cannot be understood by mere mortal humans.
Daniel Reyes
atheism doesn't try to explain anything. it is the LACK of an explanation.
Nolan Brown
Now you're talking about general Theism.
Brayden Gomez
There isn't really much to it. Atheism was a hot button issue at the time because this was during and immediately post Bush, the zealot cowboy. It was counter culture. As secularism has marched on, it has become more and more pathetic to whine about religion, because it has finally reached a point where unless you're in the bible belt, religion doesn't really affect your everyday life too much anymore unless you really want it to.
Bentley Walker
Either that or people got sick and tired of Israel-first (((christcucks)))
Luis Smith
That's what I got from the edit lmao
Henry Cooper
>Now you're talking about general Theism.
>Acccctually you're talking about more in line with _____
No they aren't. Being agnostic about something means you are on the fence. General Theism means you are putting your faith in some form of higher power beyond capabilities of how the universe works and how we as humans work within it. It can be worshiping a giant flying space ant or a rat god that fly's in the clouds.
Parker Miller
Is that you again you damned dog shagger
Austin Ortiz
The term 'religion' simply means belief system. Scientism is the world's leading religion right now. And not because people chose to believe in it, but because they were conditioned to. They have no interest in a populous that is objectively moral and self aware.
Evan Myers
Atheism and materialism was an exoteric explanation given to the masses to hide the esoteric meaning of a Kabbalah. The materialistic principle will evolve (Macroevolution) while the spiritual principle (New Age) will materialize. This applies to cosmology as well, government, and medicine as well. It is turning lead (Atheism) to gold (New Age). It is man's attempt to become like God (Genesis 3:4) without the work of Jesus.
John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
Right. Bush Sr. l proclaimed from the Oval Office that atheists shouldn't be considered Americans. A lot of it was probably just backlash.
Chase Jenkins
>Being agnostic about something means you are on the fence. Agnostic is not "I don't know." It is the positive belief that "I cannot know."
Brody Jones
pol licking gods balls constantly like savage animals, i will never understand. Figured this bullshit with god at age 5, some people are born to be sheep.
Austin Jenkins
Neocons aren’t religious retard.
Andrew Diaz
Yes. It's funny how all of these "Atheists" also happen to support Israel.
Nothing exploding to create everything, is retarded.
Christian Gomez
Atheists act like religious fanatics.
Justin Long
>Atheism is specifically the belief that there is no God. That's anti-theism. Atheism is just the lack of belief or disbelief in any gods.
Lucas Gonzalez
That is what all the mystery schools teach. Which is an abomination. Man is not meant to be God. Man is meant to be man, the image of God. All these, on the surface level, different belief systems share a common root. Its the same old lie sold to Eve in paradise right before the fall of man.
Liam Rogers
But if you knew, you wouldn't turn away the truth. Someone who is devout religious will turn away truth in order to maintain what they believe is the truth. This is why there are so many religions, and denominations, etc all claiming to be the 'one', that is 100% correct. And if someone were to convert, it's only because of some sort of pressure put on them, usually socially. For example a Muslim can simply just hide their faith if threatened, well how fucking convenient.
Tyler Butler
If you don't believe in God, then you would be inclined to accept the notion that something came from nothing because there's no other explanation for existence
Justin Lee
It was a reaction to evangelicals going full retard with the Iraq war, taking evolution out of school books and establishing megachurches while sucking israeli dick on one side and muslims going fucking crazy on the other. There was a lot religious extremism in the first half of the 2000's, thus there was a pushback in the latter half.
Michael Barnes
I agree. Atheism serves as a teaching tool, an antithesis for the church, a framework for more heresies, and a means for one to yearn for the false religion of Mystery Babylon.
Julian Bennett
Yes, they characterized all Christians as young earth creationists and most of them completely refused to criticize Islam until it was too late and their feeble attempts to speak up were shouted down by their own acolytes. Of course the topic of judaism never came up because many were jews themselves and their ethnocentrism was still stronger than their "rationality." It helped foster the sjw movements of the teens knowyourmeme.com/memes/events/elevatorgate
Luis Smith
One can only be agnostic about things that can be known. Irrational beliefs fall outside the realm of knowledge. It is a rationalization fallacy to pretend anything can ever be known about fairies, gods, leprechauns, etc.
Grayson White
>Remember when about 10 years ago this movement exploded in popularity and edgy teenagers everywhere were parroting quotes from The God Delusion?
You're so easily offended. The christian church used to torture, maim and murder non-believers just the way the muslims do today. It's sad what pathetic little sensitive snowflakes you've become since you lost your political authority.
Anthony Harris
According to that quote, would it be fair to say that atheism is Gnostic-lite?
Thomas Brooks
What makes you decide what is knowable and what is not? The universe is endlessly vast, we are like ants compared to a skyscraper
Nathaniel Turner
Imagine being so cucked you worship a kike on a stick.
Michael Bennett
>materialism A term invented by believers to describe people who don't exist.
>Scientism A term invented by believers tired of getting their crazy beliefs debunked by science.
Brody Jones
The amount of internet organization of these strange, fatherless atheist fags was way too hierarchical to be by accident, and it was always tied closely with either lolbertarian or marxist ideology. For the most part I blame media like South Park and Hitchhikers Guid to the Galaxy (intentionally juvenile humor with hamfisted "THERES NO GOD MAAAAN" horseshit) but the academic nature of the atheist cliques on websites like Something Awful tell me that this is part of the reason leftist professors are terrified to start doing online lectures: they don't want their internet recruitment processed scrutinized because it revolves around targeting kids and teenagers with extreme intellectual intimidation and social shaming. People would call for heads on pikes if they knew how their kids were bring targeted on all fronts of media, at least they would 30 years ago. Maybe today it's simply too late to prevent what's happening (creation of an illuminatist nigger-brained slave race who cannot think to argue with the established intellectual authorities)
Benjamin Jenkins
>I dont believe that there are no apples in the bowl, I believe that the bowl is empty!
Modern day atheists are anti-theist. A true "atheist" by classical definition has clearly spent so little time considering themselves or their world that I'm not sure their opinion on anything is really worth considering
Brandon Walker
Kabbala is a degenerate judaization of Neoplatonism, which is itself an orientalization of Plato's philosophy.
If it ain't Aryan, it ain't worth your time.
Austin Gomez
>What makes you decide what is knowable and what is not? Evidence that is not explained another way. You can tell me about a mystical force which no one can see, hear, taste or smell, that you can only feel, that spies on you and micromanages ever aspect of your life. I'd ask for evidence.
I can tell you about a mystical force which no one can see, hear, taste or smell, that you can only feel, go on it's just a theory.
And you need people to believe some old book and zero other evidence. Get some better evidence and maybe you'd have less atheists. Don't vet mad at reasonable people for believing in unreasonable claims.
Why wouldn't a being that is all powerful not rational or possible if such things can happen in reality?
Angel Peterson
your green text is retarded. It should be >I don't know enough about the bowl and apples, so I cannot conclude the apples exist.
Daniel Hernandez
Are you retarded? Laws of physics by definition cannot be violated
Blake Thompson
Nice of you to read this "book" and do actual research before regurgitating an opinion that has been manufactured for you. If you have actually read the Bible you would know that it is mostly a historical account. Confirmed by cross referencing historians of the time from the empires and endless monuments and artifacts scattered around the places that the Bible speaks of.
Levi Price
>I dont believe that there are no apples in the bowl, I believe that the bowl is empty! Apples in the bowl is either a fact or it isn't. Flying horses and talking donkeys are not facts.
>Y-y-you don't know that for sure, man Yes, I do. If there was really a flying horse, there would have been more than just one single witness to it.
>Modern day atheists are anti-theist Theists never prove their gods exist, leaving anti-theists nothing to disprove.
>A true "atheist" ... ... fallacy is like a No True Scotsman fallacy? Go it.
Easton Jones
We get it. You are not intelligently designed, and are only here to divide the people and instigate needless hatred.
Anthony Fisher
If the bible was this strong, it would be taught in school, and those who didn't believe it would be seen as flat-earthers.
Hunter Sanchez
>no argument Is this the best Yas Forums has to offer?
Laws of physics cannot be violated. Big Bang? Slit experiment? Shall I continue?
Robert Carter
>But it is possible for laws of physics to be violated >Therefore my gods exist Hmmmm, no. If our laws don't accurately describe what we are observing, we craft better laws. That's how science works.
With religion you just invent more gods, fabricate more religions, create more zany rituals. That's how god-based beliefs spread.
Juan Kelly
You can meme your greekshit all you want but a greek superstate will never become a reality.
Michael Phillips
Evolution and gravity are deliberately taught in these indoctrination centers you refer to as schools as fact. When officially they are just theories.
Science is your religion son. You believe in it, you have faith in it. But who created it? Who created you?
Juan Ortiz
scientific theories with more evidence than the bible, yes
Sebastian Carter
>Hmmmm, no. If our laws don't accurately describe what we are observing, we craft better laws. That's how science works. Since it is possible for scientific laws to be violated, then surely it's possible for a supreme being to exist because of how violations are 100% possible
>With religion you just invent more gods, fabricate more religions, create more zany rituals. That's how god-based beliefs spread. Different interpretations of what God may be like?
Lincoln Brown
Something can not come from nothing. Evolutionary advancement is more likely combined with survival and intelligence potential. I give you a survival. If survival is granted what is the maximum potential of evolutionary advancement? And has it happened in time or history outside or inside this thing we call the universe. What is the point of survival and reproduction? Trajectory? What baselines do we follow? Impossible possible reality by way of manifestation and creation. We follow and walk this path.
Carson Myers
Why would I want a 'Greek' superstate? The modern day 'Greeks' aren't Hellenic in any meaningful sense of the word.
Who are the true heirs of Greece and Rome? The Germanic peoples.
Adam Price
the events in the Bible are confirmed by archaeology and historians of the day. Evolution and gravity are theories invented by masons and other secret societies with the intent to push people further away from the Creator, from their true purpose. Scientism is a major of the deception. You're playing for the wrong team son.
>You are not intelligently designed, I'd always rather choose to be intelligent rather than pretend I was ((( designed ))) by a wrathful and jealous watchmaker with deep emotional insecurities.
Next time you should choose "intelligent" for a change. It's way better.
> are only here to divide the people I'm trying to bring everyone together. If everybody is an atheist, then we're all on the same team.
>and instigate needless hatred OP started the hate. The sad truth is that I'm just here because some believer was lying about atheists, as usual. Guaranteed replies.
