bigotry
What is it with Christians running around saying they used to be atheists because they ran around being, at the very least, stupid assholes for a while?
Take the makers of this silly assed shirt shown to the left. It’s being marketed towards Christians who “would not have said God did not exist”.
Many of us would not have said that God did not exist, but we lived as though God did not exist. We lived as though there would be no
consequences for our sins. We did whatever pleased us. Thank God though, today we are officially ex-athiests.
In other words,they weren’t atheists. They were theists, Christians specifically, who were having themselves a tantrum and refusing to obey their main parent God.
There’s also the whole part about atheists being people who live “as though there [will] be no consequences” and who do “whatever please[s] us”.
I don’t even know what to say to that kind of hate and bigotry anymore. Besides “fuck you you damned twit” that is. How about you?

What else can you say about an organization that fought for the right to discriminate against atheists and gay people?
Oh, I know.
Ignoring the fact that the Boy Scouts (BSA) chose to discriminate , is suffering the consequences of it’s choice and could easily get out of it’s self dug hole if it decided to quit discriminating against atheists and gay people, you can say that the BSA is, in fact, the victim in the situation.
You can also insist that we must abandon our principles ASAP and cease denying the organization access to public funding, property and support because, well, much like reason kills gods dead, our principles will kill the BSA dead.
To that, I have to say “if only” as I’m of the mind that an organization that wants to teach children that one can be both a unprincipled bigot and a respected member of the community without suffering the consequences of one’s bigotry needs to die (of natural causes, of course).
How about you?
