This is the definition of circle-jerking.

I gave you karma! Just for free! Totally one upvote, out of my own kindness. I'm not asking anything in return. I'll be totally fine if this post goes unnoticed. I guess I'm just so nice and considerate I gave you an upvote dammit

R/atheism actually makes me want to convert to Christianity, just out of spite.

Why do I suddenly feel ashamed to be an Atheist..

Oh right, because r/atheism once again is out-circlejerking r/circlejerk.

r/atheism is the best argument against atheism there ever was.

r/atheism has surpassed r/circlejerk long ago. You'd have to be pretty naive to not realize r/atheism is now one big joke.

I still search for the occasional glimmer of an interesting post. They come along every once in awhile. 1/1000 aren't bad odds... right?

No wonder /r/atheism has such a reputation for being a circlejerk when posts which are nothing more than self-congratulatory bullshit are getting upvoted.

What an excellent display of sarcasm. Right? Does the world really need more self-bloviating? What about a nice dose of respecting other people's beliefs, some humility, and deflation of the arrogance and bombast found in not only the religious persons we atheists so admonish, but we atheists ourselves?

Seriously, this sub is great. I see people putting it down and talking about unsubscribing and I feel it's a shame. The world needs more atheism.
