gabriel nunez replied to Brittany A. Cox's discussion Why does "atheist" have such a negative connotation?
"Well said. I believe a third possibility may be "I know there is no magic or God, but pretending there is is really beneficial to me so I will continue to play along.""

"Two great posts as usual Loren! I also like all the other posts.
One other thing I thought of in answer to the question is that I prefer to call myself a Scientific realist instead of an atheist because there's a huge amount of woo…"

"To follow up on Melinda's comment, there are wayyyyyy too many dumbasses out there. And, the problem is that these fanatical, drooling, screaming, spittle flecked, anti-intellectual, pro-ignorance, troglodytes (from women hating Islamic mullahs…"
booklover replied to gabriel nunez's discussion What motivates us to proclaim ourselves as Atheists?
"Because there are too many dumbasses out there who just talk about gawd as if it is a fact that there is one, and who assume everyone believes it. I'm sick of it."

What motivates us to proclaim ourselves as Atheists?
Just wanted to send that inquiry out there... The whole thing fascinates me because, of all the things I don't believe in, God is the only one I proclaim that I do not believe in. For instance, I would never call myself a NonSantaClauseBeliever. Of course I do not believe in Santa (unless it is Secret Santa time around the office and I am likely to receive some kind of chocolate), but my point is I don't go out of my way to announce to the world that I don't believe in him.

Ruth Anthony-Gardner said… Welcome, gabriel! Glad you could join us. :D
Please consider joining a group to meet people and talk about anything that's on your mind, Hang With Friends. You might also like Libertarian Atheists, Humanists and American Atheists.
I also recommend Eco-Logical and Climate Concerns, since Arizona's climate is changing so drastically.
After you've searched for topics of interest in "Groups" above and in the "Forums", don't forget to look at recent activity which hides along the right margin of the page all the way at the bottom.
Happy Halloween and
