It's not as appealing as it is we're just tired of being like everyone else. We'd rather think for ourselves and come to our own conclusions than have some weirdo in the sky tell us what's right and wrong. We think we should be allowed to come to our own conclusions and live our own lives without the need of some creature boomers have no proof of and only shove into our face. You know, we'd prolly like your shit more if your people would stop shoving it down our throats all the time. Because then it just gets oober annoying.
In conclusion, we've just found out we can think for our own. Call it "teen age rebellion" if you will, but thinking for myself is better than having someone do it for me.
edginess
>implying young people care about the truth
>not about enjoying their lives
Don't you think that people of religion have come to this conclusion as well? Not everyone is a mindless faggot who decides to embrace a faith.
And yet, here you are saying the opposite. I think it is more a person-to-person basis. Some people are just very narrow-minded, like yourself, so you cannot see why anyone would want something you do not want. Which is OP's point. You're immature and inexperienced with the world if you truly believe human beings are the pinnacle of existence.
Stfu.
>What makes this b8 so appealing to trolls?
I'd say it's the guaranteed replies, friend. Also sage.
only muslims believe in god anymore
They are slow thinking
because they stopped listening to your bullshit and started to look at the fact that there is no God
The fact that we are more realistic?
If you ever find yourself asking a "why" question, the answer is usually (((Jews))).
No one wants to sit in a crowded room praying to the deaf ears of a flying spaghetti monster in the sky.

What makes you say atheism is a religion?
Church people be like:
>get dressed up and listen to an old man ramble for an hour every weekend
>confess to old man about everything you do wrong
>told not to have sex or fun
>allow children to be raped by priests
Also church people:
>wonder why kids dont like church
>ism
that part
quality b8, most retards identifying themselves as atheists are actually agnostics... and they will be flipping that you call them religious. well done
Then I guess journalism is a religion as well

You need more Jesus, or whatever, in your life because what you're doing is obviously failing to keep your inner peace.
Of all religions, atheism is not a member.
Also sage.
Don't forget schism, that well known, difficult to traverse religion.
And prism, the religion of rainbows.
Probably because most realise there's no accepted authority on the matter and there are too many flavors of religion to commit to a single one.
Lmao, I can see why people wan't what I don't want. Most of the time, religion is an out for other people. Or it's a hobby. Or its a lifestyle. I get that, mate. I was mostly directing my comment at cristianity, which I know it didn't come off like that, it was a quick comment I should have thought out what I was gonna say better I apologize.
You say narrow-minded, which I understand, but that's just the thing. I come from the south, where Religion is like, the biggest thing out there and its seen as odd to not be religious, etc. Where I come from (and I know its not like this ever where else) Many, many religious folks are narrow-minded and so sucked into their shit that its like "well if you don't do what I say, what I do, what I follow you're a bad person, you're no good" And it's funny because I can usually tell them things they don't know. Stuff they don't know about their own practice I can tell them because I love religion. It's fascinating, it's fun to learn about. And I can tell them all I want, and I have their attention until I tell them I don't believe. That' when they turn on me.
My eyes and ears are completely open to other religions and ideas. I may never believe in them, and I sure as hell like to learn about them. But from what I've observed, many religious folks are not like that. And that's a big reason of why I gave up on religion as a practice and kept it out of my site until as of late. Now I get that other places many not be as Bible Driven as from where I'm from, but that's why I don't follow a god, or gods.
And like I said before, I got tired of the idea of being like everyone else. Being so sucked into one thing that I close everything else out and don't consider other religions and how my practices may hurt people. Cause that's all I see here in the south. Old people with their old books telling me I'm gonna burn in hell because of a book that they've twisted for a church that is actually against what the bible says.
point is that it is a belief system... hence religion. Agnostic is as far from religion as you can get, since you can argue that they actually don't have belief as they simply don't know.
Not to mention Communism, everyone's religion.
>atheism
>'''a religion'''
bad bait is bad
KYS faggot OP
No, it's not. Lack of belief is not a belief. You are redefining atheism to suit your desire to call it something it isnt, regardless it doesn't meet any of the criteria that define religion.
Atheism is a religion and this has implications in terms of the disciplines of religion, philosophy, Christian apologetics and law. In addition, although many atheists deny that atheism is a worldview, atheists commonly share a number of beliefs such as naturalism, belief in evolution and abiogenesis.
look
you tool, read a book
Sorry can't talk, practising witticism.
And to finish my statement I just do not believe. I believe what science says over some book tbh. And again, I've come to my own personal conclusions as to what's happened to this world. And that's really just my business. I don't gotta shove into others faces like its better than sliced bread. I just gotta stick with what makes me happy and thats it. Its all good
>Lack of belief
you don't have lack of it, you have a belief that god doesn't exist... you are an agnostic you piece of shit
>I just do not believe. I believe
top kek anonn
Noice, but how about not
you don't believe in evolution you dimwit
it's like saying you believe that humans have two legs
Evolution is a fact. Nobody proving the existence of some kind of a god is a fact.
You don't believe in facts, they just are.
not to be technical but evolution is not a fact, its a theory that has significant evidence backing it up, not fact
Thank you for saving my time not having to explain this myself.
They are retarded, it's not about taking a stance, it's about being intellectually and spiritually lazy.
They are basically goyim.
>spiritually lazy
What does this even mean?
>Commonly
Because coming to understandings about objective reality tends to lead to similar realisations. That does not make it a religion. You are jumping through hoops to redefine religion as loosely as you can to include a non-system of not-believing.
>You don't have a lack of it
Yes I do. I lack a belief in God. I didn't have to actively un-believe in him.
almost impossible to prove it, but there is evidence/likelihood of it occurring, not to mention being actually possible according to our current understanding of the universe
a theory with such amount of evidence that makes it a scientifically accepted fact
when Darwin published the book, it was just a theory, now it is basically proven - just like other theories became facts
I see you found the gospel of my religion.

/BEccQ58
you can't unbelieve god because you didn't beleive god, lacking the belief in god is akin to saying I don't beleive in god. you lack; therefore you dont have
What you are describing as agnostic is what atheism is. You either believe or you do not. You cant be both. Now you can be a gnostic (with knowledge) atheist or an agnostic (without knowledge) atheist. Same for theists. Most people describing themselves as agnostic are actually agnostic atheist. I've never met somebody who would claim they know God doesn't exist. Sounds pretty silly
They don't bother with introspection.
Introspection and study of theology will make any atheist a believer.
I read the Gnostic gospels a few years back apparently Jesus used to appear as a small child sometimes kinda reminds you of the early Yea Forums
still called the theory of evolution buddy, you assigning fact to it is a wrong classification.
yea it's a theory thats generally held in consensus, but still a theory. and thats a good thing becuase we can keep changing and adapting it to further increase our knowledge/ representation of the theory, but to consider it currently fact is just arrogant. it's like saying we know EVERYTHING Bout evolution and is just super arrogant
>atheism
>religion
pick one, faggot, Also sage for low tier bait
thats a negative
>Misunderstanding what a theory is in science.
A theory in science is an interpretation based on observable facts. Evolution is a theory based on facts such as "mutations randomly occur" "genes pass these mutations on" "beneficial mutations pass on more readily due to natural selection". I am a reptile breeder and I observe it in action in the flightless drosophila colonies I keep to feed my Tropicolotes Stuedneri (micro geckos). Occasionally, say once or twice in a year, a mutation appears in a colony and a fruit fly becomes not so flightless anymore. (Mutation is step one of evolution). Soon enough it breeds (passing on of traits is step 2). Flight is an INCREDIBLY useful mutation and so it leads to better survivability in its offspring and so increased breeding (this is called a selection pressure, step 3). Within a month I have to gas the colony because it is all flighted and makes keeping them a living hell.
>Therefore you don't have
EXACTLY
I don't have a belief. Therefore I am not religious.
Worked for me, not that I believe in some skydaddy, but there's more to life.
I'll change my mind when scientists can create life, not clone or copy, but create biological life.
Once it has been proven there is a border between non-living and living.

>atheism

this is bait isn't it
>Saying it is all fact is arrogant.
Not when we genuinely do know it exists, with absolute certainty, from observation.
See .
Evolution can be witnessed and recorded in action. It is a theory, but that does not mean it is not a theory comprised of facts.
Stop swinging the word theory around like it necessarily means "this could be not true". That's not how it works. In science, a theory can be "these things are true and have been observed, here is an explanation of this" and sometimes the theory is a complete one, based solely on observable fact, like evolution, or sometimes it is the closest to an explanation we can get with current knowledge.
To be fair, there are atheistic religions.
>Once it has been proven that there is a border between non living and living
That's pretty much an arbitrary border based on the definition of living you choose. For example if you take the following definition, then there is a border between life and non-life:
"Organised, metabolising, reproducing organisms are alive".
As for scientists creating life, been done. Scientists created a unique cell capable of producing entirely new synthetic proteins in 2017.

Then I guess bald is a hair color.
YOUNG PEOPLE ARE YOUNG AND NOT CLOSE TO DEATH. AS PEOPLE GROW CLOSER TO THEIR DOOM THEY BECOME SCARED AND TURN TO A FALSE GOD
Because they are raised by single mothers who are usually femtards. Mommy never took them to church from fear that she herself would burst into flames upon entering.
Because the jewish lie taste like shit and children dont get connected to pedophile church
Like Islam and paganism and shit.
All western women are femtards, disgusting westerners.
look at those postbox sandniggers fighting haha! and you fucking western retards are letting them in!
So what are you then ?
Probably the same reason the Christian cult is so unpopular.
Ok-why are there hairs growing on my cawk shaft?
ok, w the serious f?
A slavoid, the only thing that has kept muslim cockroaches out of Europe, but you self-destructing idiots will do anything to end yourselves and us.
The fuck
Probably 4 wives of the same guy and the 5th wife who is a slave it might sound like a great deal but when did 5 fucking women ever get on ?
Magyars aren't us, but they are fun to keep as pets.
Not a polack ? got any cheap vodka ?
Can we not strive for a life full of contentment & happiness instead of bickering over the most inconsequential things?
Everyone in this thread including myself is an idiot. Look at the site you're on & the peers you surround yourself with.
I bet there's loads of people in this thread that talk so much shit about their lives to the point of being delusional
This site could have been a truly remarkable place but just like the rest of the internet we've fucked it.
Anyways have fun arguing over nothing
Atheism is not a religion. Atheism (hint: it is in the name) is having no religion at all. If you have a religion you are not an atheist. If you have no religion you are an atheist.
why every time I see someone talking about religion (atheism generally), I always see the girl from the neverending story movie???
Got any Transylvania?
Dear god its a fucking ork from mordor wheres my musket
Are you really this fucking retarded ?
are you a 40 year old man who just discovered gifs?
whatever you say mohammed
It's Yea Forums...
of all the baits, why is claiming atheism as a religion so popular among homosexuals between the ages of 6-11?
what makes religous trolling so appealing to transvestites?
why would you say that ?
>I lack a belief in God
no you believe he doen't exists, if you simply lack belief you dont know- which is the most rationale answer to that question and that makes you ... agnostic
>basically proven
kek
read a book, pls jut do it.. any at this point
No, I believe in science not fairy tales
what you describe is agnostic view
Are you pretending like you don't understand the simple concept that RATIONALLY most people are "atheists" towards unicorns despite saying "I don't know" being the best answer? At one point can some shit be so improbable and unrealistic it's ok to claim you do not believe in something and don't need to prove it doesnt exist, exactly?
internet
>I believe
even if i let that one slide, explain - with science, how life originated.
This thread is gay. So I shall psot gay.
read up on agnostic, and then atheism, get back to me after that
Where? Here where I live it isn't 13-25 age are usually Catholics.But young ones in general aren't mentally matured and are yet to reach their full brain potential.
agree, post the gay away, OP is a b8 master, thread is like b8ception its a beauty
Y can’t I find any good lewd Spider Gwen, I feel like she is a really undervalued character... in the context of internet porn that is.
>fuck
Thought this was the catalog lmao
google it retard
Guess I’ll just cut and paste there
>why am I sped
you are the smart one, pls tell me... copy paste here i will give you sheckels or internet points w/e you want
reread my comment and try to understand it this time, don't get back to me after that. I don't suffer fools...
this is a better question than OP
you are right, sounds like diarrhea, i wont waste my time on you
I personally faithless because you can't exercise that there's proof of their deities. However, I respect religious people because they're a lot more mature than the 13-25 yr rangevthat I come from.
thousands of years ago people had no concept of science so, in order to explain the world around them, they invented religion.
you are not old enough to be here me thinks
Of all the music videos, what the fuck did I just see?
Dumb people are incapable of understanding something above the. So I guess we were both wasting our time.
I just find it hilarious I wrote a post explaining why we shouldn't do something and your response was that I didn't understand the difference between the two things that I explained. Like I guess you skimmed it or you're retarded but damn... It's genuinely hilarious to me.
>thousands of years ago people had no concept of science so, in order to explain the world around them, they invented religion.
I would phrase this differently.
I would say that the most basic form of religion - existing well before monotheistic religion, or polytheistic religions with anthropomorphic gods - is basic animism, which explains natural phenomena as the expression of the intention of named forces. This isn't a replacement for science as it is a *primitive* science; since men act from intention, the primitive hypothesizes that rivers and crops and storms act from intention, too. At a certain low level of knowledge, there is no methodological difference between science and religion.
Most likely due to how they want to rebel and not be main stream
No. I don't choose to believe he exists. That is atheistic. Agnosticism is not on the same spectrum. It's like liberal and conservative economic policies not being on the same as liberal Vs authoritarian policy.
You can be atheist AND agnostic
You can be atheist and gnostic (which is what you are adamant is the only thing that is atheism)
You can be theist and agnostic
You can be a gnostic theist
I do not have a belief in God (that is a atheism). You can try as hard as you like to redefine what these things men. You'll continue to be wrong, atheism will continue to not be a religion, and I'll continue to live my life based on questioning everything and searching for answers.
i think in terms of young people it has more to do with the fact that the bibles are outdated and good rules in the past have since become obsolete. sex before marriage is only a necessary rule in a pre condom, pre birth control era.
Atheism is not a religion Fucktard
>difference between the two things that I explained
no you didn't, it was incoherent
>You can be atheist and gnostic
Gnosticism is a modern name for a variety of ancient religious ideas and systems, originating in Jewish-Christian milieux in the first and second century AD. These systems believed that the material world is created by an emanation or 'works' of a lower god, trapping the divine spark within the human body. This divine spark could be liberated by gnosis, spiritual knowledge acquired through direct experience.
how....
Troll line
Everybody above and below this post was trolled
Atheism in not a religion you retarded asshole

God hates fags and most young people are fags. They just don't feel the love.

you are correct and i am in fact wrong.

Beat me right to it my friendo.
Because they don't know any better when the main stream religion is shoved in their faces and they only exposed to a broad understanding of them.
Being “woke”
Well, science has given us logical theories on how things came to be and that are much more believable than some cunt who turned water into wine, was reborn ~ after killing himself in sacrifice to his dad for our 'sin's' and managed to part an ocean for some Jews to walk through. Also why believe in an omnipotent being if they choose not to do anything and who's overall plan includes the needless suffering of millions.
So Christianity is shite, islam is completely fucked like head in the sand kinda fucking stupid. Behead non-believeds, child wives etc, stupid bigger shit. All other religions are fucking stupid too.
We've chosen to believe the reasonable and science based theories that have some evidence rather than stories from books used to control the masses.
A religion is the belief in and worship of a superhuman controlling power. Atheists do not believe in a superhuman controlling power, so atheism is not a religion.
But of course you already knew that.
Wisdom comes with age, user.
as far as you can get is apatheism
as time goes by and the volume of knowledge about the workings of reality are more clearly quantified, the reality that new generations experience is more easily observed
the result is:
i have no reason for that hypothesis (re: any churchy shit or invisible sky wizards or whathaveyou)
