I'm an 18 year old atheist. AMA

I too abandoned Christianity around that age but a few years have passed and I now understand its value and accuracy. I too found the explanations of pastors and priests to be insufficient for my questions. We are all curious. If you come with an open mind, I will be glad to discuss all sorts of questions with you. I won't try to force anything on you. I will just explain how I think.
>why should anyone care what this user thinks?
I will just have to try to convince you of my worth

I don't think anything should change your mind user. The evidence has been debated for centuries and the contradictions have been pointed out over and over again. And yet the apologists have no good answers. For me, the nail in the coffin was when I learned a catholic first proposed the idea of the big bang theory, and when he brought his findings to the pope at the time, the pope actually offered to make it religious dogma. Religion is a joke. If god is real humans have never and will never know jack shit about it/him/her.

Damn you haven't even heard an argument yet and you're already attacking his character? Lmao.

Who gives a shit?

Exactly. Atheists and anti-theists voice their opinions when religion threatens their rights, or claims they have facts/evidence of god's existence.

As I have responded previously, I used to be Roman Catholic. I view my old Roman Catholic faith as a crutch to the philosophical pursuit that I have now. That being said, while I do agree with some stuff in the Bible, there are stuff that I deviate from. Case in point: I think gay people are okay. I think homosexuality is fine, and so are those other genders I don't really want to go in to. Trans people are gross though. Honestly.
tl;dr I follow my own dogma, and I develop through introspection and asking other people for their opinions.
Abortion is a funny topic to me because I believe it's still a form of murder. They had sex when they weren't prepared to be held responsible for the child. That was the mistake that starts this in the first place. I believe the world has truly gone perverse and is now abusing the fact that sex may not equate to pregnancy in the modern day. BUT that's besides the point. I believe that abortion harms the body and should not be promoted in our society. I would say that if you knew full well that you could not support a child, then you should not have sex. Its the simple facts. I really want to think that abortion is justifiable: because abortion supposedly violates the right of the child to life so that both the mother and child would not live in misery. That's a topic for another day.
Murder is, in most cases, wrong because it isn't legally justified, although there may be cases where you could kind of see why they were compelled to murder. Still inexcusable.

Why do atheists constantly want to debate people? Just shut up, go to work, and dont bother with religious nonsense.

Nobody gives a fuck.
You want a real red pill? Atheism isn’t a cure for not having a personality.

>Christian tries to understand how God created universe
>Bigger Christian: hey, that's a good idea.
So since you believe in an entirely naturalistic explanation for the universe, presumably the prevailing theory, inflation theory, and you observe that a Christian adopts it along with just about every other serious person, how does that prove that they are "a joke"? Could it be that God created a universe with a defined set of parameters which came into existence via inflation from an infinitely dense singularity? Is that impossible?

Oh Christ you’re never getting laid or doing anything cool for the rest of your life
