Is this a hate sub?
Is this a hate sub?
I checked the five last posts. There is nothing here but hating on religion. Sad that jerking off to ones own superiority is all that Atheism has to offer.
I just reviewed the 5 posts immediately before yours... not one of them expressed hate, but yours did. You should reflect on that.
There is a big difference to being an atheist in a very secular society. It is nothing special and not a major part of your life or identity.
These type of atheists do not need to seek online spaces as there is noting to discuss or much of a need to vent or find people who think as you do.
I am in this group, am not subscribed here and came across your post in /new. I assume you are as well.
Then there are the people who are atheists in very religious communities or societies. They often have few or no people in their lives they can talik to about the issues they face having to hide their lack of belief for it can be very damaging to them, physical, socially and mentally if they are public about it.
These are the people who are more likely to inhabit atheist online spaces.
They need a place to honestly vent about the hypocrisy they see around them.
They need a place to be honest about their lack of belief.
They need a place to find those that think as they do.
So, basically, no, in my opinion this is not a hate space.
Sad that jerking off to ones own superiority is all that Atheism has to offer.
This is also your first post here, so I see it as you feeling superior to the other posters and talking down to them while you have contributed nothing to the community prior to this.
So, prove me wrong and post something to prove what Atheism has to offer...
You sound hateful.
You're clearly trying to start an argument, so don't let me get in your way.
But most atheists don't talk about being atheist, just like most people who don't believe in the simulation don't spend all their time talking about the simulation.
Atheist memes, are therapy for people who are toying with the idea of being atheist, or have just become atheist, and want to socialize it, and are looking for approval.
Funnily enough I have to admit that I skimmed over the answers and just went "yeah seems about right", but at second glance it turned out that there are actually quite a few interesting posts. You also make a good point. Thanks for taking your time to write it down.
How many people died due to religious hate just in the past few months? But I guess some feeling hurt but going to a sub you could easily avoid if it upsets you so must be worse.
