    No worries. It’s alright that you don’t believe what I do but there’s no need to berate or mock what I believe. I’m still very much a human and I have human problems just like anyone else. I’m not perfect based on my belief of God and I don’t go around telling people they’re going to hell because they’ve been mostly a horrible person.

    Seems like you’re really upset with Christians? Yeah me too… I’ll even go as far to say that I hate them and I don’t believe for one second that they really know or believe anything they claim. They are self-serving pieces of crap in my opinion but as for me, I do know God is real and if it weren’t for him, I wouldn’t have made it through such a bullshit life as I have.

    I’m sorry you don’t want me here. Didn’t mean to upset anyone and I can respect you as a person still… even if you don’t believe what I do. In the same way, if this is how an atheist looks on social media then what is the difference in your thoughts towards me and my belief if this is how you conduct yourself?

    I guess you put everyone who talks about God in the same box. Such a shame! It’s like me saying that I think people that wear shoes are delusional.

      I will be respectful to you. No such courtesy is owed to beliefs. Anyone here is free to berate or mock beliefs all they like.

      I don’t go around telling people they’re going to hell because they’ve been mostly a horrible person.

      Good for you?

      I do know God is real

      No, you don’t.

      if it weren’t for him, I wouldn’t have made it through such a bullshit life as I have.

      Apparently you are a stronger person than you think, even if you humbly choose to give that credit to mythological figures.

      I’m sorry you don’t want me here.

      First of all, I never said or implied that. Second, don’t apologize for what you perceive to be my desires. It’s disingenuous and childish.

      if this is how an atheist looks on social media then what is the difference in your thoughts towards me and my belief if this is how you conduct yourself?

      I don’t understand what you are implying here. If you exist in a bubble where beliefs are sacrosanct, beyond reproach, you may not want to involve yourself in a community that is effectively the antithesis of that mindset. That has nothing to do with whether I want you here or not. It has to do with feeling comfortable.

      I guess you put everyone who talks about God in the same box. Such a shame!

      Again, I’m not going to guess at your implication here. There’s nothing shameful, in a community called /c/atheism, to make a distinction between 1) people who believe in gods, and 2) people who do not.

      It’s like me saying that I think people that wear shoes are delusional.

      If those people are insisting that they have shoes on their bare feet, run around saying how awesome those shoes are, and prattle on about how they wouldn’t have gotten to where they are today without those shoes, all the while you’re looking at their naked toes… then they are delusional. You would be right to say they are, and you should make sure everyone around you can hear it.
