When I'm at a family gathering & my in-laws pray out loud... (i.imgur.com)

i just go along with it....no use in making a scene
[–][deleted] 3 points4 points5 points 3 months ago
Same here. I'm not comfortable with actually saying a prayer, our doing a blessing before a meal, but I'll gladly bow my head and go along with it. No need to make a big deal out of something so trivial.
[–]IncognitoChrome 0 points1 point2 points 2 months ago
my dad is "agnostic" basically atheist and he just sits silent. You don't have to cause a scene just don't go along with it. Not really a big deal unless you're closet atheist and there is something on the line.

My family does this too, generally I just start eating, they probably get offended but I think its pretty funny.
[–]pudgylumpkins 0 points1 point2 points 3 months ago
They did a prayer at my commencement ceremony this past Saturday. It was interesting to look around and see who kept their eyes closed and heads bowed. It was basically a 60/40 split in favor of prayer which kind of surprised me.

This was my face upon hearing Cliff bloody Richards start singing the our father at the Diamond Jubilee Concert yesterday.
[–]loveandletlive09 0 points1 point2 points 2 months ago
My Southern Baptist uncle (who is well aware that I am vehemently opposed to his theology) always asks very pointedly whether I wouldn't like to lead the prayer. I always politely decline, then also politely decline to bow my head, close my eyes or in some cases stop eating.
[–]Goodrita 0 points1 point2 points 2 months ago
Grand Toreno(excuse my spelling) such a funny movie. And I know your pain, my family is the only one that doesn't pray during gatherings

I feel you man. People.... praying??? Anything religious is by nature offensive to me. I know for an absolute fact there isn't a god, but these silly fags think they know the answer? How arrogant, how could they know, they haven't died? I'm glad I can be more intelligent than them and know for certain no such god exists. One day people will look back to 2012 and recognize it as a renaissance of intelligence, a time when atheists asked the important questions, the tough questions. Science is 100% the tool of the atheist. Science is biased and takes sides, it can be used to disprove god, religion and science can never co-exist. People like being told how to think, and if we keep at it, we'll rid the world of religion, which is not at all an extreme attitude. They have beliefs, but we have facts, our views are absolutely not beliefs. Keep up the good work man.

No alimentes a los duendes. Also, ~60 years and Christianity is mostly toast, count on it.
[–]Batboylives -1 points0 points1 point 2 months ago*
I don't know why atheists assume that just because I disagree with them I believe in Christ, It's not a logical assumption. I disagree with you, organized religion is dwindling in some respects but is here to stay for a while more. Yes, the world is changing and with it organized religion is slowly passing. People will always have faith though, and even in a world void of most religion as we know it, people will likely still have ceremony, prayer, and tradition in the future. It's fine if you disagree with what they do, but no one should scoff at someone exercising their right to pray. Atheists take "in god we trust" off of the money, which I agree with, but let us not forget on that same coin we were a nation founded on the freedom to petition the government, protest, and yes, pray to whomever we want... or for that matter not pray. In a world where the pope is gone and no one's sending money in to televangelists, we will still struggle with the notion of a deity, were we created, is there anything after death. This is the crux of my message to atheists, that it is very simple to disprove the man made stories and ignorance of religion. Beyond that however, nothing, not even science can answer these questions every human considers. We are all afraid of the unknown in some way, and that is because we are uncertain. People I know who have almost died understand this, and they are less likely to align themselves in a fight where both sides operate with a misguided superiority. It's time for fundamentalists and atheists to admit we are all fearful, and we would all like to just know, but we don't and probably never will. The world would be a better place, not if everyone thought alike in their acceptance or rejection of god, but if they could accept differences without taking meaningless and counterproductive stances. That has always been the message from Jesus, to Chomsky, to Tyson, to Sagan.

BWAH HA HA HA HA HAAAAAAAA!!! Get a clue, you gormless ass-shat!! We all know you're just a lame, self-important, attention seeking puddle of fecal grease!! Why else would you come to an atheism forum to complain tirelessly about atheists? **BWAH HA HA HA HA HAAAAAA!!!! What's the matter, loser? No one take you seriously enough in real life so you have to champion your cause on duh internetz? How sad you are!! BWAH HA HA HAAAAAA!!! Derrrrrp... I'mah go online & kick up uh duh-bate about my buh-leefs 'n take it seriously, mom!! Oh, man...you have embarrassed yourself past the point of sheer hilarity, idiot!! Keep going!! I'm laughing so hard, right now, my side is cramping!! LMFAO!!!!!!!!!!
[–]Batboylives 0 points1 point2 points 2 months ago
haha oh you're still at this, whatsup man, lightning quick with the response to my post... 11 seconds?
BWAH HA HA HA HA HAAAAAAAAA!!! You actually responded!?!?!? I thought you said you were done with all this & the "final word" was mine?? Guess we can add liar to your list of traits, too!! BWAH HA HA HA HA HA HA HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!! You still done, idiot?? Come on, keep responding like the well-trained, retarded imbecile we all know you truly are!! BWAH HA HA HA HA HA HAAAAAAAA!!!!
Dude, I have got some news for you, I popped a xanny some time ago. And I generally don't take the shit I/U/anyone says too seriously. This is pretty goddamn funny to me. Don't get me wrong, I totally want your mom to die of a uterus infection but I'm amused. I mean do you do that everywhere you go? Are you at the bank arguing over deposit slips spraying food at the tellers face? I know I shouldn't feed the trolls but lets continue this. What else don't you like about me satanface?
BWAH HA HA HA HAAA HAAAA HAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!! You still done, moron???
Satanface, how much time a day do you spend on the toilet? Please be specific and pepper in laughter in your response.
Doesn't really matter, does it? You were done responding to me three comments ago, remember?
[–]Imnotevenangry -1 points0 points1 point 3 months ago
Overzealous, but agreeable.
Hey, OP, if I invited my black friends to your place and they acted all nigga-like, would that reaction face still suit you?
[–]Batboylives 0 points1 point2 points 3 months ago*
I jut want to be clear that was sarcasm..
But I'd probably be all
[–]BryanWake[S] 0 points1 point2 points 3 months ago
edit: you're not intelligent.
[–]Batboylives 0 points1 point2 points 3 months ago
Not as intelligent as you right? You all think you're brilliant because you take easy shots at biblical stories and fundamentalists... that must be difficult, arguing with the guy who saw jesus on his mudflap. Pointing out OBVIOUUUSSS bullshit that we already know to be made by man, and impossible. However an afterlife, or the existence of a god are nothing you can speak to. You know nothing more than anyone else. You have unsubstantiated beliefs, which is more or less what everyone else has at the end of the day regardless of what they think. You coward, simple minded, aligned, pompous stain.
[–]SatanFace -1 points0 points1 point 3 months ago
BWAH HA HA HA HA HAAAAAA!!!! You're arguing on Reddit then hinting at your intelligence?!?!?! BWAH HA HA HA HA!!!! I'm laughing so hard I'm crying!! BWAH HA HA HAAAA!!! Oh, the unwarranted self-importance you possess, she buuuurns!!! BWAH HA HA HAAAA!!! Idiot!!! BWAH HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!!!!!!!! You sound like a total retard!!!! Please keep responding with your diarrhea-smeared comments!!!
I can't tell if you're really that stupid or a troll.
BWAH HA HA HA HA HA HAAAAAAAA!!! The idiot's confused!!!! Thanks for proving my point, retard!! BWAH HA HA HA HA HA HAAAAA!!! The bible was written by scientifically-illiterate, superstitious, iron-aged, Israeli goat herders and you actually believe it!!!! BWAH HA HA HA HA HA HA HAAAAAAA!!!! Oh, man.... you reek of diarrhea!!!
No I've got it, you used to get picked on at school and you'd do the same thing you're doing now. You'd stone wall the kids and just keep trying the same thing as defense. And all the bullies did basketball and after school church, and you hated them. So you took a stance of superiority, no one would call you names again. But when I upset you on your favorite site, you reverted back. You tried at first to get clever with the mirror line, but I'm obviously older and a little brighter ;) so you go to the old plugging your ears and yelling. It's ok that's one way to do it. I'm getting off reddit now, you can have the last word, you said more about atheism than I could have.
[–]SatanFace -2 points-1 points0 points 3 months ago
BWAH HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!!! Looks like I win: huh, idiot? Are you getting off Reddit to go read your favorite book of fairy tales written by morons? You are so cute & retarded!! Looks like we have an e-psychiatrist on our hands, folks!! BWAH HA HA HA HAAAAAA!! Oh, man...please eat a mint: you've chewed so many turds today your breath is stinking up the whole website!! BWAH HA HA HA HAAAAAA!! Now shuffle off in defeat, little retard... back to the bible for you!! BWAH HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!
[–]SatanFace -1 points0 points1 point 3 months ago*
I absolutely adore idiots like you. I think what the OP meant was a when group of people start talking out loud to an invisible man who lives in the sky that makes everything happen with magic it's an uncomfortable situation for a sane & rational human being to be around. Guess the joke was over your head: huh, idiot? Now please... go look at yourself in a mirror and spit on your reflection.
[–]Batboylives -2 points-1 points0 points 3 months ago
You and OP are the reason most people detest atheists. Many sane and rational people are religious from Nobel prize winners, to the people working on drug cures. Underneath all the arrogance, grease, and dried cum, you're a scared person like anyone else. If you truly knew there wasn't a god and were brought comfort by this, you wouldn't be looking for back patting validation on reddit. Don't call me an idiot because I don't agree with your childish stance.
BWAH HA HA HA HA HAAA!!!!!!!! You actually responded!! You're a stupid idiot!!! BWAH HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HAAAAAA!!!!!!! Let's argue on Reddit about your invisble slave-master some more, moron!! BWAH HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!
[–]Batboylives -1 points0 points1 point 3 months ago
All you're doing is hurting your own community when you simplify someones belief structure by calling it magic, or simplify their argument by calling them a moron. This is why there is a large backlash against r/atheism. In the current case, a family was praying before dinner, something millions of people around the world do every night. This indignant revolted response by OP was a childish reaction. He couldn't accept their lifestyle quietly, or their beliefs. He thinks his beliefs are more important and theirs don't matter, he thinks he is smarter, and knows the truth. The person I'm describing sounds an awful lot like a douche bag. If anyone knew what happened when we die, the world would be a very different place. No one knows, so you look silly claiming that you do. Consider even that you're right and there is no god, you are still the asshole mocking their prayer. You don't consider that believable or not, many people enjoy religion, and they have every right to. Trying to disarm someone who disagrees with you by calling them a retard when they are clearly smarter than you is another atheist tactic that is dying out. There are people in the world who believe in god/s, and they are much smarter than you or I.
BWAH HA HA HA HAAAAAAA!!!! Keep pouring on the diarrhea comments, idiot!! You're so stupid you don't know you're stupid!!!! BWAH HA HA HA HA HAAAAAAAAA!!!!
Did mommy and daddy say no more chocolate? Now you wanna make them mad so you become an atheist. You could have just brought a black girl home. I'm glad I'm entertaining you, you're really cutting me with the mouth full of cake laugh.
BWAH HA HA HA HA HA HAAAAAA!!! You chew turds for a living & you believe the bible is real!!!! BWAH HA HA HA HA HA HA HAAAAAAA!!!!!!!! Go to the store & get some wet-wipes, idiot! You need to start sopping up some of your diarrhea-spewed comments!! They stink like chewed turds!! BWAH HA HA HA HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!* You better watch out! You better not cry! You better not pout, I'm telling you why...there's an invisble man who lives in the sky! LMFAO!!!!!!!!
