Atheism these days has gone from a belief system to a lifestyle. Now you have all these kids running around screaming "SKREW U GOD!! LULZ" because they think its the cool thing, not because they have come to any decision regarding their beliefs.

You called?

ive had doubts about god since my first day of sunday school.

Yeah, I used to be atheist, but I switch to Pastafarianism after all the pseudo-intellectual 13 year olds started popping up thinking that their new-formed belief of God was a "revolutionary idea", even though I'm sure their opinions were just crafted by whatever Pete Wentz or some other movie/rock star says they should believe.

Right around the time that I started reading about the Old-Testament-God killing thousands of sodomites, I began to grow a jaded eye for his "lovingness".

For me it was "If god loves us so much. Why does he make us sit through and listen to this crap."

No no, I actually thought about the big dude in the sky that got bored and created the universe.

If he existed, where would he come from by the way?

Saying "SKREW U GOD!! LULZ" Would imply that the speaker believes that there is in fact a god in which to screw. Atheism implies the denial of the very existance of any such deity. Your logic fails. I win.

Indeed, what the OP described would be an "Anti-theist", one who believes in God(s) but hates them.
Honestly, the general image of atheists that gets thrown around is very false, it is just depicted by the organizations that supposedly represent atheism..They do a bad job at it. I, as in atheist try to avoid religious confrontations as much as I can. I don't go around preaching my disbelief of God, because that was one of the original things that made me step away from religion. The only time I would actually bring up atheism in a real life circumstance is if some missionary is trying to push his religion down my throat.

you can say "SKREW U LASANGA MONSTER!! LULZ" and still not believe in him. your just saying screw you to the idea of him. you can refer to the character in a novel as a person but you dont necissarly have to believe in him/her.

I'm inclined to agree because they clearly aren't intelligent enough to be atheists or agnostics on their own.

I was an atheist before it was trendy. SUCK IT

Q u o t e:

Agreed. Half of the athiests I know have no reason to be athiest, they know nothing about religion or athiesm, they just want to sound smart and mature. One of my friends claims to be "athiest", yet ALL he does in a argument is "state" things like facts, even though he obviously just pulling it out of his butt. When I ask him why hes an athiest, he usually replies with "because religion is stupid". How he isnt a christian is beyond me.

I was raised a Christian then one day I realized how many religions there were and how my religion was condemning a HUGE part of the worlds population because they wern't Christians. I was not a large fan of this idea. Now, I am also quite amazed at how many atheists left religion for this very reason but they "condemn" religious people. Saying that religion is stupid etc etc. I do agree that it is stupid and to a degree morally wrong (Wishing people who are not your religion/gay/etc to be punished eternally cannot be considered morally correct). However, I would not be one to sit there and try to get every bit of religiousness removed from public sight, etc.

the funny thing is most of the kids in my school who are emo/goth ARE atheist =P....... i figured they were just like........... wiccan or something since they wear those stars heh but then they were all saying they were atheists
