Official Kiwifarms Edgy Atheist Thread - where we make fun of all sorts of sky daddy believers

[liam dees]

Religions are a crutch for those who can't think for themselves.

Ok I actually agree with you on this but this seems like a general problem with humans in general. In the absence of Sky Dad, lots of people have replaced it with consumerism, politics, violence or even sciencism. I suppose while explicit religious influence is gone, the urge in those people to act religious has not gone away. So what of that increasingly common occurence? What thoughts do you have on this?

Don't edit stuff in 30 minutes later that I won't get a notification for.

You didn't get notifications cos your giant fedora is blocking your view lmao

Jesus H. Christ you're retarded.

You know it's bad when even the athiest uses Christ's name...

Not only are you lashing out here, you're also doing some gay repentance shit no one asked for. "I was a faggot. I was a cunt. I'm sorry. I won't pull out my fedora anymore from now on." And now you're on the euphoric atheist thread asking for asspats. "Can I be one of the based ones bros? See, I'm pulling quotes without context!"

Look, you've done enough. I think you're utterly pathetic for cucking yourself to Christians like this, but we're not going to resolve those issues here. The wall of text was in response to yours (and you read it, so who cares) and there would've been no need for it anyway if you didn't come in here and start sperging like a retard. I hope you find peace.

Nigga talking like he's some great crusader against religious tyranny. You remind me of rabies.

For one, I feel like a lot of these behaviors are magnified and exaggerated by social media and fewer people subscribe to the pseudoreligious beliefs than doomscrolling might lead one to believe.
More to the point, I feel what religious people construe as "acting religious" in nonreligious people is more like "acting communally". People do not require an abstract spiritual fulfilment to be happy. What they do need, as social animals, is a community and a sort of moral/ethical baseline (moral and ethical don't feel like the right words in this case but I can't think of the right one). I'm far too tired right now to elaborate in any meaningful way, but I am of the belief that some people just can't self-govern—these are the kinds of people who would fail the shopping cart test—and need some sort of structure that threatens them with some kind of punishment for bad behavior in order for them to function properly, whether that's a tangible punishment like ostracization or the metaphysical threat of going to Hell.

I hope that's even mildly coherent, I'm not feeling very coherent at the moment. I've said this better in another post but I can't find it.

A thread for edgy atheists, you say?

...ahem. I have arrived.

 

[Coldgrip]

I give it a few more years until some fedora-sperg writes some multi-page thesis on how mainstream atheism is too concerned with their icons and that Dawkins, Hitchens, and the rest are actually not atheist enough or aren't true atheists.

Bonus points if he nails it to the church of satan's doors.

So in the first relevant post since the OP, I'm just gonna link the debate where Matt Dillahunty absolutely dogwalks Jordan Peterson in case fellow edgy atheists haven't seen it yet.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FmH7JUeVQb8

Now say what you will about Dillahunty regarding his jihad for trans rights, etc. but the man is sharp, and nothing can take that away from him. His simple and straightforward argumentation style being one of his major strengths.

This debate happened in 2018, so it was long after the new atheism hype had died out. And yet, here Peterson is scrambling so desperately for a coherent argument that he literally ends up saying at one point "I took mushrooms once... that's KINDA like evidence". IMO, this goes to show that new atheism didn't fall out of fashion because its arguments were rebutted; rather, people just moved on to the next big thing. And with the right wing resurgence in the years since Trump, it's now common for Christians and Muslims, who are back in the cultural zeitgeist, to derisively sneer at atheists. You'll never find anything of substance though, it's just fedora memes and smug chuckling about how we just have such a stupid/immatue understanding of their 500 IQ arguments that they literally can't even. Basically, they're still licking their wounds from the edgy atheist era, but those wounds will never heal.

Anyone else annoyed by the gender cult that's emerged in recent years? It's just as dogmatic and overzealous as religion. Everything I hate about religion I also hate about transgenderism. Yet, somehow, many atheists support it despite its flagrant irrationality and constant mental gymnastics. The way I see it, if you don't believe in God because of logic and reason, you also shouldn't believe a man in a dress is a woman because of logic and reason. Other atheists tend to dislike me for that opinion, but none of them can make a single logical point that differentiates their opinion from a theistic belief system.

Retarded shit like this makes me wonder if Peterson was a fraud the whole time, or he has simply gone rusty.

There is nothing more satisfying to me than witnessing an atheist purity spiral (This one makes sense unlike all the other ones I've seen so far.)

Same. I hate a lot of the woke stuff atheism has become associated with in general.

I think atheists who became hardcore leftists were the ones who were so obsessed with looking like the good guys (as a way to one-up all the sanctimonious religious people), that they got carried away into embracing a bunch of absurd shit. Like how you MUST be a bad person if you don't like diversity, trans stuff, etc. Of course, a lot of younger zoomers are just de facto atheists and were never part of the new atheism discourse to begin with - the woke stuff being their main thing.

Many atheists went to the other side too - Sargon, Spencer, JF Gariepy, Atheism is Unstoppable (AIU)... weirdly large number of atheists (and closet atheists) in the alt right and conservative spheres. Too bad they can barely admit to being atheists now without getting backlash for it, never mind advocate for church/state separation and all that jazz. Hell, right wing atheists more often than not just self-flagellate, similar to antiracist white liberals.

It's kind of a lose-lose situation for atheists, politically speaking. Nevertheless, I respect other atheists who haven't given in to any sort of hivemind thinking.

I obviously can't speak for everyone, but I'm personally never going to "disown" anyone unless they actually switch to a theistic belief system (like Ayaan Hirsi did recently). I don't know if any spergs are saying Dawkins isn't a true atheist anymore because of his comments on being a "cultural Christian" and whatnot, but that - for me - would count as a retarded reason to discount someone. If people on your team are saying/doing something you don't like, suck it up; don't be dishonest about it. No True Scotsman was one of our most useful arguments back in our heyday, and hell better freeze over before I betray my euphoric intelligence.

This reminded me how hilarious it was how Richard Carrier was exposed as a desperate sex-hungry loser trying to cheat on his wife under the guise of polyamory

More like Richard "HIV" Carrier

Daniel Haqiqatjou (a.k.a the Muslim Skeptic on YouTube) and Mohammad Hijab don't have threads on KF, but could easily qualify as horrorcows. They're both part of the new wave of right-wing Muslims (or dawah fags, whatever you wanna call it) that Tate and Sneako are drawing their new fanbase from.

Here's Mo Hijab doing some olympic gymnastics to cope about the Prophet (Police Be Upon Him) deflowering a 9-year-old. Look at Sneako's face (lmao):

Basically, "it depends on what you mean by child" and "pedophilia is relative". Look, I'm not one to make a "she was 17 years and 364 days old, you sick freak" argument, but keep in mind this is about a 9 y.o girl with a big bearded man in his 50's.

Next, you have Haqiqatjou (sorry, sorry, just call him Daniel Pikachu, a lot of people already do) justifying taking sex slaves. Yep. And no, doesn't matter how young. Would you rather leave them out to die???

Don't get me wrong, I genuinely appreciate how honest and unapologetic (save for the mild discomfort) these people are about how they portray Islam. I wish more Muslims were like this.

Everything is created by someone, so our universe was created by God. And it was the same God that's worshipped in my religion, and not the one that's worshipped by other religions, cause those religions are heresies or, even worse, demonic! Why? Uhh, cause they just are, OK?!

I spoke to some gnostic schizo who told me that by successfully convincing Abraham to kill his son, the demiurge showed to other gods that human beings are not intelligent, cause creation of intelligent beings was apparently a big no-no.

I never said the crutch should be taken away, disabled people need crutches to walk after all.

If you want solid proof we've failed as a species, look no further than the dumpster fire in the comments section of any video on YouTube about evolution, when sorted by new. You'd think these people would learn something by now given that even religious apologists are starting to either accept evolution or at least choosing not to die on that hill, but nah. Besides the usual "fake", "hoax", and the "i cant believe ppl still fall for this hah", here are some highlights.

Have you heard of creation science? I'd like to present my altern- huh? What do you mean that's not science? Hey, wait a minute, why am I being discriminated against? Oh my god you're an atheist aren't you? Help! Help! We're being censored! We're being persecuted!

The atheists gathered and burned him at the stake that evening.

Guy has no idea how many white people agree with him. Don't be racist, kids.
(he's also an unhinged schizo and is spamming a lot of brain vomit)

"Sir, the video isn't even about-"
"Hah! There it is! You fragile atheists have to insert your atheism into everything, don't you? Who's seething now, bitch?!"
(also a schizo spammer, there's lots more from him)

I watched Pokemon and Digimon so I consider myself a bit of a biologist, and I've never seen a fish transform into a cat. We still need evidence for that.

This is about retroviruses infecting gametes. The esteemed commenter figured it shouldn't work any differently from the flu.

Why can't I do everything my ancestors did, the same way they did it? Why do things change?! I don't get it, man!

If only we'd set up those Jewish space cameras 175 million years ago to record every organism as they evolve in real time. I can't believe no one thought of that.

Ah, one of the classics. Checkmate evolutionists

Okay you know what, let's just try a different channel:

Hey! It's featuring that one example of-

It was the smog that turned the white moths gray.

Links to some creationist video titled "why natural selection is NOT evolution". Definitely no brainwashing or manipulation happening there!

I want to stop messing around for a bit and just take note of this consistent pattern. These people deliberately limit their imaginations because if they try thinking just a bit more freely, things start going uncomfortable places for them.

...

At long last, I've found a video by libcuck tuber Hank Green whose sorted-by-new comments are mysteriously scarce, suggesting some sweeping taking place.

However, they missed one brave Jihadi from just about a year ago:

What better way to kick off Eid! Congrats Muhammed (never seen it spelled like that, weird), you've won!

He should know that viruses are a hoax anyway. I read about it on the internet so it must be true.
