Oh Christ they all fucking suck. Listening to a lecture from any of one of them is like watching some dude with a 11 inch cock masturbate. It's only great if you're into that sort of thing, ya know?

If I have to choose, obviously I go with Dawkins for memetic theory and his work in ACTUAL science as opposed to the religion of science.

A real atheist doesn't need some pompous Illuminati puppet to convert them into the faith. Just so you know.

They're only making you atheist now to set you up for war with the Christians. Once you've destroyed each other, the Jews will finally be victorious as God's choosen people.

An atheist is someone who lacks a belief in God. You say 'real atheist' as if there's some other kind...

There are "religious" atheists and "non-religious" atheists. Some like to congregate around their ministers, some don't. Some have absolute faith and proof there is no God, and some simply see no reason to believe in God. Some ridicule others for not subscribing to their beliefs, and some don't.

But of course, there is no difference right? All atheists chose to be that way, which is why atheist parents have a shit fit when their children take up church.

If you were as smart as you pretend to be, you would know the opposite of the word "real" is "fake."

So obviously, it follows I believe there are real atheists and fake atheists. Atheists going though life with pompous certainty in the superiority of their own personal world views are living a life of faith, making them the fake variety.

Cool. You believing it doesn't make it true of course.

If you reject belief in God you are an atheist, it doesn't matter if they think they're "superior" because of it, they're still very much 'real' atheists.

Little bit.

It's true to me, and it's directly observable. How do you define truth anyways?

Meh. Faith is not a virtue, it's mind control. Some are free thinkers, others are sheep.

You came to the wrong conclusion. There are atheists, some think they're better than everyone else and most of them don't. Both are 'real' atheists because they don't believe in God.

I agree, but both types of still real atheists.

They're real atheists. What is wrong with someone being passionate about educating the ignorant? Religion is fucking ridiculous. People are literally brainwashed into respecting a bunch of beliefs, which on their own merit would be judged crazy.

If someone wants to say that evolution is false because there is a being that exists in some place beyond the mortal world who made everything, and you know because there's this ancient book of writings that says it is so, they should be prepared to be called crazy. There isn't a reason to believe it. "My daddy believed it and so did a bunch of other people," isn't an answer to "how do you know it's true?"

Theists are being ridiculous, and when they are told as much they are shocked and offended. Religion knows its fucking ridiculous. It's why blasphemy is such a terrible sin. Religion does not hold up to question.

Im tired of it. It ruins lives. It does. No act of good needs to be halted because religion ends. People are good. Atheists are good. They donate their time and other resources to charity. Religion is ridiculous. That is a truth no sane, rational person can argue against.
