Well, this is just special.


That list of reasons, well, I feel the need to spork it for some fun:

1. Religion is faith in something that cannot usually be perceived by human senses, it's required you assume the existence of something beyond your sensory input. Calling people crazy for that is just silly, you can't believe in any intangible concept beyond normal human understanding without it.

2. Again, key point is belief in something outside human ability and control. Atheists believe they are absolutely right that there is no higher power, while the religious believe otherwise. That is not delusion, that's two sides having an ideological dispute that some greater force is at work in the universe.

3. Yet again, faith is equated with insanity. Atheists have faith in their convictions there is no higher authority we humans are subject to, so by their own logic, the religious could apply the same condemnation.

4. Alright, partial credit here, they have a point that beyond objective historical fact, the religious have to believe in the unproven and fantastical. Ironically, atheists have to absolutely deny all that with the same amount of faith in their own convictions, their belief in something they themselves cannot concretely prove could be dismissed by their opponents in a similar manner.

5. This is grossly distorted. While yes, there are a paranoid fringe who assume all who disagree are influenced by negative supernatural forces and are thus unregenerate by default, the zealous atheist believes all their opponents to be insane and afflicted with debilitating mental illnesses even if they would be rendered sane by a competent psychiatric examination. More simply put, the rabid atheist and rabid religious zealot are both fanatical about their beliefs and intensely intolerant of the other, neither can claim to be better.

6. How ironic. The rabid atheist believes their existence is limited to a life where they grow old, die, and then cease to be. Their own belief humanity is just another species of animal that will die and their existence meaningless beyond the mortal coil sounds incredibly depressing, and the religious prefer to believe their own lives have more dignity than what is assigned on the mortal, tangible plane.

7. Stones in glass houses. The rabid atheist is incredibly cruel, vicious, and condescending to their enemies, often wishing them death and bodily harm, and in regimes where atheism was/is in vogue, they have spilled copious amounts of blood in the name of enforcing such beliefs.

The tl;dr of this for those wondering is look and laugh at the boomer using reasoning that would embarrass some pre-teens. Look at this emotional midget and laugh.

I wouldn't be surprised if this euphoric fails to realize that for some people, wearing something such as cross comes off as more of a fashion statement without any sort of religious significance.

With this sort of reasoning used by atheist boomers and the like, they may as just flat-out admit a huge chunk of humanity is insane by default simply for having some sort of religious belief.

Unless you have means to travel and directly help, there isn’t much else you can do. They can mock thoughts and prayers all they want, but trying to censor and take away liberties is so much worse in my opinion.

And if they thought about it, the fact people are showing some form of empathy at all should be an encouraging sign that not all of humanity is beyond hope. But no, because they don't like the form it takes, they mock it.

Apparently, they'd be happier if everyone was an amoral sociopath.

B...b...but some insane 19th-century German philosopher said that everyone needs to be an amoral sociopath to not be a sheep! You don't want to be a sheep, do you?

Which, if referring to Nietzsche, is a bit ironic. He hated compassion because he saw Christianity as a religion of pity, which he felt told people to accept their lowly position, while praising non-Christian faiths where the reverse was true because they didn't focus on pitying someone, but encouraging them to become better.

Funny thing is, he came to this view because he believed only a sheep believes their predecessors in philosophy unquestioningly, and the idiots who take Friedrich at face value would make him face palm, because they aren't challenging the views of those who came before them to come up with their own.

Instead, THEY are the sheep.

One of his chief inspirations was a guy whose philosophy of compassion was rejected primarily because Nietzsche believed he needed to be a contrarian and make up his own mind.

So if these idiots are citing that as their world view, they not only missed the point, they are still praising the ideals of a guy who still, in some sense, looked up to some form of religion for guidance on his own views.
 
Making dumbass videos saves no one either, so why do such rationals continue to do it?

Ego, clout, and if possible, YT money. Thoughts and prayers can be lazy shit but even then, I can imagine one doing it while cutting out the "prayers" part. I can also imagine it being lazy shit and something that one could do at best because they can't do other shit beyond maybe, in the case of these shootings, making some complaint to the political monkey suits.
 
There's a big diffeence between "thoughts and prayers" and the actually dickish response of "I'll pray for you". The former at least is neutral and it indicates that they hope whoever they type this to feels better or can recover from something. The latter is the actual assbag response 95 times out of 100, since it's usually used as a polite fuck off or "I'm better than you".

So this guy is going to experience a lot of people praying for him. He needs it too given how shitty his hairstyle choices are too.

That Youtuber is known as Mr Atheist. Raised jo hoe and now has a fuck you mum and dad complex long after his teen yrs. He virtues signals rly hard on trans issues and his videos are the most low effort garbage that repeat the same tropes over and over without adding anything interesting. At least YTers like James Marriott and ImAllexx make their videos on cringey Christians funny.
