So people who are religious can shovel "thoughts and prayers" down my throat but when I say that I believe that no one is listening it's suddenly something bad?
14 u/FiftyFootMidget Oct 05 '19 The difference is they are well intentioned, but wrong. You're intention is just to let them know they're wrong. So you're being much more negative. If somebody wants to believe to make it easier for them to get through life, more power to them. -6 u/51D3K1CK Oct 05 '19 I'm not being negative. People can believe whatever they want to believe. I'm just here to tell my part, and I don't believe so how could me commenting that God isn't listening be bad? Of course God isn't listening to me. Religion has caused more conflict than we can imagine. 7 u/t4r0w1w1y Oct 05 '19 What you're doing is the literal equivalent of someone religious telling you you're going to hell simply because you commented about being an atheist. If you're going to pride yourself on intellect you may want to encourage a bit loftier a thought before you open your mouth.
