Only problem I have with atheists is that they're so up their own ass about being atheists
I'm not very religious but I have a short story on the subject
Happened a good while ago though couldn't have been past freshman year
I was a pretty fucked kid since my father figure/Grandfather had died a year prior and it basically turned me into a little shit thanks to some things my borderline sociopath mother said
So of course I didn't have many friends besides my brother and his friends but around half the school year in I actual started making some friends with the "untouchables" of the school hierarchy since everyone else took me for a serial killer in the making due to some incidents
A few of them I liked enough to invite home which was a huge deal for me as someone who requires a lot of space or else I get irritable but we had gotten to talking about smash Bros and I thought I could really make these guys friend's if we played
Out of these Bros there's only one relevant one and that's Atheist bro
Like previously mentioned my grandfather had died about a year back and I was still sore (hell I still am) so to do right in my own (perhaps mildly creepy way) I made him a little shrine out of his belongs that had fallen into my hands
His bible. A photo of him and me. His crusifix cufflinks, all ontop of his bible (1/2)

Skip to the day of the visit. Three people show up which is good since I only invited three. I introduce my first friends in a good long while to my mother who stays in her room since our appartment is the size of a broom closet. We watch Netflix animes that Atheist bro claims we just Needed to see for a minute on the big TV before heading to my room.
I don't have any chairs at this point so we just sorta all sit on the edge of the bed. Run a few games. Atheist bro sucks ass so he's off of the controllers a lot of the time . Dude had no fucking boundaries just going through my shit and eventually he comes across my desk shrine in which he picks up the Bible, which of course sent the cufflinks and photo to the ground only to say
"I didn't take you for the religious type. Though personally I'm an atheist, not that it's bad to be religious but I just think it's funny so many people believe in a book written by GOD knows who so long ago."
It felt like he had waited all day to say that. He picked up the cufflinks and threw em back in the box before haphazardly putting it back on my desk. He forgot the photo on the floor
Now let me remind you I'm NOT religious. But my grandfather was a Reverend and it just sorta felt like he had talked shit on his life's work.
We were poor in a fairly wealthy school system so my mom always said don't hit people unless they touch me since these guys usually fight with lawsuits and not fists. It was most likely a joke but I don't know my mother scared the shit out of me when I was younger so I just sorta got up and took him to the door by the collar while he was asking what the hell he did wrong
We made up. Still talk every now and then
Though everyone has evolved throughout highschool. He didn't. He's kinda just stuck in that "grrr Starwars is for sjws now" stage. Neckbeard lite

This. Plus it's a Jewish trick to separate us from our culture and accept an invading horde of savages who have even more irrational and backwards beliefs than our Christian ancestors.
Matthew Martinez
Interesting how this seems to be such a common occurrence. I wonder why. Its probably those intolerant Christians and their morals' fault.
Tyler Reed
why can't people of authoritarian character not define atheism?
Sebastian Allen
No they just belive in rules they are told to believe in morality is a decision of free will to respect others
Ryan Robinson
Eh I just think it's people squirming around trying to find their way.
Alot of folks aren't comfortable with conforming. Atheism is one of the easiest ways to do so. Especially if you're rual. It makes them feel like they're subscribed to a club the rest of their community aren't and therefore must think differently and therefore think they're smarter and THEREFORE feel the need to flex it
I try and think of these types as like the "Christian Fanatic Karen" of the Atheist world
Brody Foster
Pro-tip, you can't. Morals require an acknowledgement of a higher authority. Narcissistic atheist (and yes that is ALL of them) deny that there is any natural higher authority than the human individual. That's why they fall so easily into cults like political parties.
Hudson Morales
If morality is contingent upon free will, and everyone has free will, couldn't people decide upon different sets of morals? Are those different sets of morals then equal? If yes, then that individual is making a claim of preference, not morality. If not, that person must be making a claim of objectivity to some extent. How then does he determine that his moral code is superior to that of another's if he fundamentally believes that morality is subjective and thus, preferential?
Brody Myers
>couldn't people decide upon different sets of morals? They do, even within Christianity. >How then does he determine that his moral code is superior to that of another's It's not superiority, it's your own vision of the best world.
