Awhile back I wrote a quick little rant style piece about Atheism. I didn't spend a lot of time on it but I suppose it was an OK piece. Put it this way, I'm not ashamed of it, but it also wasn't my favorite piece I ever wrote. It is however one of the most popular articles of all time here at Laughing at Life 2 and it also has the most comments of any post ever by far. I don't know why but people liked it. I have to say that the Atheism posts popularity really surprised me and for a couple different reasons. First, like I already said it wasn't a very well crafted piece. It started out as a bit idea that I could never figure out how to pull off but I liked it enough to want it to get seen. I didn't expect it to take off like it did. The second thing that surprised me was the comments. Not just the volume of the comments but also the negativity and judgemental hate in them.
So, here's the thing, people liked the Atheism post, the Atheism post got a lot of people talking, I like people, hits, and talking so I figured why not do another post about atheism where I'm actually trying a little harder to make actual points? Since I liked my idea I went ahead and started to put together a brand new post about Atheism and Atheists and you are reading that post right now. I hope you enjoy it and I also hope that even if you don't that you do still comment if only to help me better prove the points I am already going to make here in this piece.
1. Atheists tend to be condescending, and pretentious
I joked in that original piece that Atheism was the religion for geniuses and I said that because if you listen to their propaganda or people like their self-appointed spokesmen Neil DeGrasse
Tyson speak you will see that they are very pretentious and condescending towards people of faith. Atheists seem to all believe two things at the start of every conversation that they have about religion. First, they believe going in that they are right, and the second thing that they believe is that you are wrong. You're not just wrong you're stupid too. You can see it in their smug faces and their, 'I'm a genius', tone of voice.
That is what is so maddening to me about Atheists. I hate anyone that treats people like they are stupid, but to treat someone like they are stupid just for having faith when you know for a fact that while you may not believe in God you actually cannot prove he doesn't exist either. So while I believe that it's perfectly fine to disagree with me it isn't OK however to assume or pretend that you are smarter than me just because you've decided that God isn't real.
