Atheist Nexus

The World’s Largest Coalition of Nontheists and Nontheist Communities!

Am I right? Let's all have a round of applause for the Godless!!

...

Anyways, being Atheists, how do you feel about religious, churchgoing people?

I mean obviously they hate you. No denying that. But do you hate them back, do you pity them, do you really care?

Discuss.

(Hopefully this isn't a repeat topic, I looked around)

I think theists are cute! Like little kids who are excited to see what Santa brought them on christmas morning. When something good happens to them they think it's god's magic! Adorable!

Seriously, I pity them. It's kind of sad how they think humans (and no other species mind you), require god to navigate through the most mundane of tasks, and attribute every success, no matter how minor or irrelevant, to blessings from god. I look at them with pity as one would look at a wet, hungry puppy, or a slow child. It's really the job of those who know better to try to set them on the right track. They certainly can be stubborn though...
Hate me? Believe me or not, I would say 98% of the catholics I know DON'T GIVE A SHIT about my point of view. You may don't believe me, but it is true. My boyfriend believes in God and he has told me that he does just because "I just can't get away with the idea that a supernatural force didn't start the big bang", but that's it. Sometimes he goes to church,mostly to see some of his friends, but doesn't believe in hell or heaven or whatever. All my friends that are catholics are like that: tolerant, free minded,etc. They are theists by choice, cause I know they all question the church and all that stuff all the time, support abortions and etc...So, I like free minded, tolerant, respectful theists, whatever their religion is.

I do know catholics that are aweful, close-minded, stupid, conformist people. Lots of them are my classmates in university, and maaan...I just hate them, and feel sorry for them, because of their extreme conformist ways; they are like that just because they are too lazy to think a little bit more.

The church? My mom makes me go to the xmas mass and I just laugh all the time. Is freaking ridiculous!!! Masses are dumb xD. Most of the times I just find some friends and get away from there as quickly as possible, cause I believe in respect, and I don't wanna be crying of laughter while seated near those people that take the charade seriously :P
I find most religous, churchgoing people are good if they belong to the sects which have alcohol frequently. With a few good herbs, spices and slow cooking they can be divine!

The rest I avoid. They are devolution personified. I don't know why people in an era of mass education can accept, let alone believe, such absolute crap as god, angels, hell, satan and the stories that go with them - all with no proof whatsoever.

They are manipulated by people who are so full of their own self importance or power hungry that they will allow the most heinous of things to happen to their followers they must be pure evil. These are the predatory priests, the ones that deny medicine, the ones who collect wealth etc, etc.

Unfortunately we can't stop the lost, lonely, sad and others from seeking some sort of comfort from these holy people. The proof that there is no divine is in the actions of religions.
