What it's Like to be an Atheist

most people dont understand y atheists r frustrated by religion & religious people
so heres an article with the terminology u might be able to corp with

Santa & the Atheist
read full story here

(this takes place in a world where they believe Santa is real )

Picture your life unfolding in this world: As a child you also believe in Santa because your parents told you to, but as you grow up you become skeptical, some things just don't seem to add up. By the time you're six or seven years-old, you start asking legitimate questions like "How does Santa get down the little chimney, how does Santa get the time to visit each house, how does Santa know the kids who've been good from the ones who've been bad" and so forth. These questions elicit first strangely evasive answers devoid of content and a general sense of unease among the adults you're asking. Over the next few years that moves onto reactions of scorn, patronizing insults, and open hostility. But never, ever one single answer that holds up over time.

Finally you come to suspect there is a real possibility that there is no literal Santa Claus at the North Pole with a toy factory run by elves and flying reindeer. You began gently asking other folks about your concern. But, when you confide in a few of your most trusted friends and closest family members that the whole Santa idea is a nice sentiment to be sure, but it doesn't make much rational sense and there is no evidence for it, the reaction ranges from puzzlement, to pity, to shock, to anger, to open accusations and implications that you're some kind of mental defective for even wondering about it.

You don't understand what's going on, none of this Santa stuff makes any sense and there's zero evidence for it, why can't everyone just admit that? What's the big conspiracy about? Why is everyone pretending there really is a Santa? Then it slowly dawns on you, around age ten or eleven ... the chilling, horrible truth:

They're Not Pretending. They REALLY Do Believe There Is a Santa Claus. (lmao at this point XD)

Egads! Holy Shit! You suddenly feel a little bit lonely at age sixteen as you come to realize that you may surrounded by fully grown adults who are delusional incompetents that cannot distinguish fiction from fact and are enthralled by some kind of massive group hysteria! They're most of them all like that! And they all think you're nuts for not buying into their delusion! What the hell is wrong with these fucking people, can't they see how crazy this shit is? ......(continue to full story)

  2. I believe if I am a bad boy I will go to hell and have my ass raped all night long. That's what I believe and if you think its a joke, keep it for yourself cause am sure whatever you believe is as much as based on a blinder faith than mine

  3. not that we are crazy, i dont know i do believe that there is a maker to everything, if i can make a glass to drink water i am a maker too, but if i cant make anything i wouldnt believe that there is a maker of everything else that exists around me.

    the problem with the majority is that majority cannot accept the minority, but the manority has the wit or confidence into accepting the majorities opinions because they are free thinkers and they have big hearts to take bigs things and majority doesnt have space left in their hearts to take little things.

  4. Perhaps the problem is that we tend to think God in human terms. Nature is a better word because when we use the word Nature we tend not to think God as some being who is interested whether we have gay sex or not and is interested in punishing us for something that humans consider natural but for Nature (God) which has ingrained in us. Hence, minorities like we gays have to suffer in this world because of considering God more in human terms than in Nature terms.
