Not your typical middle aged white guy. Proud to be a woke, liberal atheist. My deeply understood facts are better than your deeply held religious beliefs

As a fellow atheist, I wish we could get out of the habit of claiming to be better Christians than some Christians, as I don't see Christianity as a valid bar against which we should measure morality. Let them wallow in their ideas, while we go off and be better humans overall.

As an atheist, I agree with the point you're making. The Bible should be looked at as mythology, which provides history, tradition, and connection for people through the years.

I further agree that atheists spend too much time debunking Christianity as though that's the last word on any religion.

Your article insists prayer is done kind of connection to a god (the Christian one) in which we atheists hold no belief, so of course we think it's a waste of time.

If you get something out of it, good for you. But your incessant need for others to get something out of it as well is kinda creepy.

I'm worried about being separated from my loving wife. Worrying about her would be worse than any physical pain they could inflict on me.

As a fellow atheist, I see no reason to put Christianity on such a pedestal.

Yes, but as everyone knows, God is synonymous with Cat. 🐈

I think secular is a better description.

Someone needs to ask him if, as a man of the Christian faith, whether he thinks it is better for people to suffer, than it is for them to get the things they need in order to survive and thrive?

An alternate, and still disturbing theory: Mike Johnson is deeply Christian, to the point that he might believe that causing people to suffer is somehow righteous and holy, because in his mind suffering brings people closer to Jesus. (Mother Teresa had similar ideas)

"You're such a good person for an atheist." I hear this a lot, even from the most well-meaning of people who are close to me.

Anthropology tells us that there have been thousands of religions celebrating thousands of gods. Further, we know those gods were made up by humans. It also tells us that the religion you adhere to is likely to be the dominant one in the family and/or culture into which you were born.

Science doesn't need to disprove any god claim. The imperative is on the person making the claim to demonstrate their god.

Same here my brother.

I can assure you, it hasn't been much, lately.

I muted that account a long time ago when she was saying the same stuff to me. I suggest you do the same.

Dehumanizing language is a precursor to genocide.

Trump to the Navy: "We have to take care of this little gnat that's on our shoulder called the Democrats."

Vought as well. Perhaps first.

Other, non government people I'd include are Peter Thiel, Curtis Yarvin, Leonard Leo, and Kevin Roberts.

I heard about bin Laden in 1998 from a morning zoo show in Baltimore. (They were discussing the embassy bombings in Africa.)

Dehumanizing language is the first step towards genocide. They'll be building camps by late 2026 for anyone who voted Democrat in the midterms.

I'm glad by taxes are paying for that.

I Am Antifa @wrongverb.bsky.social · 15d

I have to say, I, for one, wouldn't mind my tax dollars going to pay for the health care of an undocumented immigrant. #shutdown

I use that as part of my justification for not being Christian, but I grew up secular, and no religion makes sense to me. That's why I identify as atheist.

Not just translated, but added to, subtracted from, changed with and without malice, written with an agenda, written for specific audiences with certain cultural understandings, and most of all, only included the small collection of writings that survived to be included in the first place.
