Been religious since I was born, still makes sense to me.
I thought the edgy athiests stayed on reddit, sad to know y’all are here too.
It isn't really about edginess. People tend to continue believing in whatever religious preference (or none) they have unless something convinces them otherwise in whatever direction.
To an atheist's point of view, it legitimately doesn't make sense why someone would be religious when what they see is nonsense. It is a genuine confusion and not necessarily meant to be rude.
This isn't just an atheist thing that happens, religious people can often not understand why someone would ever choose anything other than their religion. It doesn't make sense to them either.
Sure, but most answers here boil down to “they’re not as smart as le enlightened atheist”
There is a common circle jerk for sure. Humans gonna human, it happens everywhere. However the question was honest if a bit rude sounding.
The question is completely okay, that’s why I answered it. The second part is only about other comments.
Then study theology and prove them wrong.
No, thank you. Not here to prove anything to anyone.
Don’t let the atheists win.
I suppose it's better than following a standard of evidence that enables homophobes/transphobes, and opens the door to preachers feeding their politics to you.
