As a white dude from the suburbs going to school with gays and atheists but few blacks or hispanics and having been to the ghetto and read the news from time to time:
Oh you're a gay atheist. Please, tell me how you're the most persecuted group in the USA.
EDIT: Lol, butthurt by this logical problem where I'm obviously right, but you can't admit that there are people more persecuted than you. In fact, some Christians are persecuted. Most aren't. There are many more persecuted minorities than gays (and certainly moreso by society at large). Don't even get me started about atheists and their "persecution". You wonder why voters don't take gay causes seriously. It's a joke and you're not even being evenhanded. Your worldview is fucked and the rest of the country knows it. If you espouse this nonsense in meatspace and no one is calling you on it, no one you know respects you.
[–]ejsanchez1986 2 points3 points4 points 3 months ago
It certainly doesn't seem to me that he was claiming to be the most persecuted by society. Just that being atheist on top of gay is just adding fuel to the fire.
This obviously gives you an opulent world view.(sarcasm) You're just ridiculous.
[–][deleted] -1 points0 points1 point 3 months ago
And, Christians do? Because the upvotes for the picture and downvotes for my commentary seem to show that this community is incapable of seeing the irony here.

What the fuck is with all the gay hate in this thread? I thought /r/atheism was extremely gay friendly, but all the asshats past about halfway down the comments are just being fucking douchebags. Seriously /r/atheism? I thought you were better than this.
[–]mmm_pbj_sammich 1 point2 points3 points 3 months ago
I noticed this, too. If you look at comments on other posts tonight it seems as though /r/atheism has been taken over by anti-atheists.
[–]napoleonsolo 1 point2 points3 points 3 months ago
It's been this way for a while. When r/atheism became a default sub, all new redditors were automatically subscribed. There were about 200K subscribers then, now there are 750k. Theists likely outnumber atheists in r/atheism. That's why it seems bipolar. It only takes a dozen or so assholes to skew the comments thread, out of several hundred thousand new visitors.
[–]AlRubyx 1 point2 points3 points 3 months ago
Why was /r/atheism made into a default sub? That's just a terrible idea.
[–]mmm_pbj_sammich 0 points1 point2 points 3 months ago
I probably wouldn't have found and enjoyed /r/atheism if it wasn't a default.
But it's just asking for spam and off-topic shit.
That's very true. I'm going to try to make a comparison, it might not make sense: it's kind of like atheist billboards. Atheists see them and think "Great! It's good to see there are others like me!" People who don't really care see them and might think "Huh, that kinda makes sense. I'm going to look into this atheism thing more." Religious folk see them and think "Those baby-eaters are trying to persecute me! I'll put a John 3:16 billboard right in front of that one!"
It's sort of a catch-22 I suppose. Either you keep it a hidden sub-reddit and miss a lot of supporters or make it a default and gain a bunch of jerks.
Yeah I've noticed it in the past, but last night it seemed like every post was swarmed with opposing posts/downvotes more than I've ever seen. Maybe it was opposite day?

Is it your opinion that homosexuals are the most persecuted group in America?
[–]Xaxxon 2 points3 points4 points 3 months ago
Why has /r/atheism turned into "complain about gay-related stuff" place? doesn't gay stuff has its own place? Atheism has nothing to do with how you feel about people being gay.
[–]TheSnowNinja 2 points3 points4 points 3 months ago
Why? Because it has been on the news and on everyone's mind. North Carolina bans gay marriage, Obama comes out in support of gay marriage, etc.
How does it relate to atheism? Most people who want to ban gay marriage are religious people who think homosexuality is 'evil.' Religion is used as an excuse for bigotry.
Gay prejudice from religious people has never been completely absent here. It is just more noticeable these days because it is a prominent social issue.
[–][deleted] 4 points5 points6 points 3 months ago
Atheism has nothing to do with how you feel about people being gay.
This meme poses relevant questions about some Christians perception of themselves as being persecuted, whereas the reality is that the same people are most often the ones doing the persecuting.
[–][deleted] 3 points4 points5 points 3 months ago
Seriously? Mocking (and therefore persecuting) Christianity in a post mocking persecution by christians? What has this forum come to?
this post is a self-referential dung-heap of contradictions, and I'm surprised it hasn't imploded due to interwoven inconsistency.
[–][deleted] -3 points-2 points-1 points 3 months ago
You think mockery is the same thing as persecution? Dude, I think you might have a persecution complex.
[–]Xaxxon 0 points1 point2 points 3 months ago
But, to post in atheism, why wouldn't you title it: "As an atheist, this absolutely infuriates me" ?

[–]AlRubyx 0 points1 point2 points 3 months ago
... And what would you say is the most persecuted group, huh?
[–]85h342tht 0 points1 point2 points 3 months ago
Pedophiles and transsexuals, to name two groups more persecuted than homosexuals.
Also, homosexuality and transsexualism and pedophilia are all extremely different things and in no way related.
For one, Pedophiles kinda deserve to be persecuted. Acting on Pedophilia can ruin an innocent child's life, acting on Homosexuality just results in fun. :3 For two, I'll give you transsexuals. They're a little more persecuted than Homosexuals.
First of all, no group of people or person should ever be persecuted or mistreated simply for the way they are, a way they have no control over. Ever. Secondly, if a person decides to act in a way that harms other people, then that person is a criminal and will lose certain rights after due process. This is not persecution, this is our justice system. Thirdly, transsexuals are more than "a little more persecuted" than homosexuals. Considering the president of the United States just publicly endorsed gay marriage, and the majority of the country approves of this endorsement, I thought this would be pretty clear considering there is legislation trying to ban transsexuals from using the bathroom they should be allowed to use. That, coupled with the fact that post-op transsexuals are the most suicidal demographic should tell you something. This isn't the 1960's anymore, where you'd get immediately ostracized, thrown in a mental institution, and castrated for coming out of the closet.
I could say I was born a mass murderer, and with that logic I should be able to kill anyone I ever want and never get any help for it. Pedophilia is NOT cool. Period. Also, my parents would be a lot cooler with me being trans than gay. I got kicked out of the house and called faggot, terrible names, etc, but they even said "If I acted like a fag my entire life, then It'd be understandable."
[–]Chweeeet 0 points1 point2 points 3 months ago
I don't think it is saying gays are the most persecuted group, it's just pointing out that Christians say they are the most persecuted when the fact of the matter is gays are even more so oppressed than Christians are, by Christians themselves. (sorry friend if the language is a little off, it's hard for me to put thoughts into words sometimes)
[–]Aberu 0 points1 point2 points 3 months ago

[–]miss_kitty_cat -1 points0 points1 point 3 months ago
Well, clearly they're wrong. According to r/mensrights, men are the most persecuted group in America.
I can't blame them, really. Look how women are taking over! 18/500 ... before you know it, women might make up 4% of CEOs of the most powerful companies in the country.
[–][deleted] 0 points1 point2 points 3 months ago
Can we lay this comment to rest? Obviously the guy who said this meant "persecutory".
Wait, he actually meant persecuted?
...
Carry on then
[–]nitdkim 0 points1 point2 points 3 months ago
From their perspective, the status quo of society is moving away from their beliefs of what the norms should be. On the other hand, society seems to be moving towards to fit the beliefs of others. While they're not the "most" persecuted group in America (by far), I can understand why they would say something like that.
[–]miss_kitty_cat -2 points-1 points0 points 3 months ago
Yes, because they have the most to lose of any religion, because their religion is the only one that's far more deeply entrenched in US law than it ought to be. Other religious groups are gaining rights never granted before (even though they should have been, according to the law), while Christianity's stranglehold on legislation is loosening. So I can understand why they'd say it, because no one likes to lose something, even if it's something they never should have had in the first place.

[–]Kerrt -10 points-9 points-8 points 3 months ago
You need to study the mass Luciferian people serfs and their sheople minds then work within and around these parameters to slowly break them free. Instead of ramming on about homosexuality is satanic and the Bible detests it (which is entirely correct), you have to explain the Uranian agenda and the Hermetic system thats behind it all in order to perfect Earth and Man in the uniting of Heaven and Earth with Man and Woman also known as Alchemy of the Rosicrucians. You have to explain that just one race will exist on Earth and it will be a genetically created Hermaphrodite which is seen as divine (combination of Hermes [Mercury] and Aphrodite [Venus/Lucifer]). You have to explain how in the meantime before the genetic tinkering of laboratory Hermaphrodite creations, that you will see whats happening exactly today right at this very moment. This is why today you have homosexuality pushed and the masculinizing of feminines and feminizing of masculines. This is part of the reason why so many men and women are suffering from Breast and Prostate problems due to the purposeful inclusion of estrogens in the environment and food. Its a grand plan and you have to know how to tackle these issues correctly otherwise its pointless.

[–]EpicDash 5 points6 points7 points 3 months ago

[–]bastardsnow -6 points-5 points-4 points 3 months ago
i'm saying your feelings about it aren't any different than mine simply because you're gay. claiming they are is a great example of the stephen fry "offend" meme and playing victim like the christians you're criticizing.
[–]bastardsnow -3 points-2 points-1 points 3 months ago
but gay people are second class citizens. they don't have the same rights that straight people do. i'm not saying that's right (obviously it's not and it's decidedly unamerican), i'm just saying the christians are winning at the moment.
[–]ringfortheking99 1 point2 points3 points 3 months ago
Unless you are gay then I really don't think you know what it feels like. I'm not gay either but I've never been singled out and persecuted because of any race,religion, et cetera I belonged to so I can only imagine how ridiculous it must be.
[–]bastardsnow 1 point2 points3 points 3 months ago
you're right. i'm not gay and i don't know what it feels like to be singled out for my sexuality. but i do know what it feels like to be singled out. saying "as a gay" is the same thing as saying "as a christian." our feelings about things are contingent on human experience, regardless of sexuality or religion.
