As an atheist, I'm appalled by these comments. What in the world makes you think you deserve to live more than somebody who believes in a deity?

time to move on?
[–]JJFO -13 points-12 points-11 points 1 month ago
Yes, let's just move on from that, the Holocaust, the Rwandan Genocide, and all the other atrocities committed by religious people
[–]Hamlet7768 10 points11 points12 points 1 month ago
The Rwandan Genocide and the Holocaust were NOT committed for any remotely religious reasons; don't try to pretend they were.
[–]TorchicBlaziken 3 points4 points5 points 1 month ago
Besides, you can move on from those, too.
[–]conrad_w 2 points3 points4 points 1 month ago
i hear what you're saying, and it sounds like bawww

What a well-reasoned and impeccably argued response. I can't help but agree with you.

ATTENTION RATHEISTS: you wonder why the rest of reddit hates /r/atheism? These comments right here are why. "hurr durr he's religious so he should die, and my intelligent free-thinking mountain dew drinking ass deserves to live more than them cuz their so stoopid."
[–]Arcnsparc 1 point2 points3 points 1 month ago
those people are just trolls, like most of us. please disregard.
[–]SMUT_ADDICT 1 point2 points3 points 1 month ago
You mean there are Athiest that are not trolls? HAHHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAHAHAH
[–]Mr_Wolfgang_Beard 12 points13 points14 points 1 month ago*
This is just a douchebag thing to do. It isn't really funny at all. Could somebody explain the joke to me? I assume I've missed it.
Edit: Punctuation & spelling
I think it's about punishing people for being ungrateful. Because apparently doctors should be in it for the ego :/

How is this kind of thinking different than a Jihadist? You guys are fucking hypocrites.
[–]Illuminatesfolly 0 points1 point2 points 24 days ago
BRAVE.
[–]ginx2666 -32 points-31 points-30 points 1 month ago
No, doctors should heal people, like they are sworn to do so.
We, non-doctors should kill FANATICALLY religious people, but only those who are polluting society. For example I don't mind if my neighbour thinks evolution is not happening, goes to church every day and prays all the time. What I DO mind is when he's shouting at me that I'm going to hell, verbally abusing people of other beliefs and sexual orientations and actively and against protests spreading his own faith.
That kind of people are a waste of air and water.
[–]Hamlet7768 6 points7 points8 points 1 month ago
How like a god!
[–]ginx2666 -12 points-11 points-10 points 1 month ago
Only if I get fancy robe, cowl and a flaming sword/hammer.
[–]JmjFu 13 points14 points15 points 1 month ago
Strong. Then kill.
[–]Coltrane_baby 4 points5 points6 points 24 days ago
As a champion of logic, I feel that we should kill everyone who yells mean things at me.
[–]blaze_all_day 3 points4 points5 points 25 days ago
Someone who can't grasp the English language is more a waste of air and water than someone who subscribes to a religion, other than the atheist religion.
[–]JJFO -3 points-2 points-1 points 1 month ago
According to Carl Sagan, we need to kill all religious people, religion is a incurable virus that has infected them and is heavily contagious. The only way to stamp out religion once and for all is to do mass purges, executing all the priests and such, committing massacres in religious communities, and mass imprisonment and re-education of religious people. That way, though there will still be religious people, they'd be too afraid to admit it and it would spread much more slowly.
If we did this 20 years ago the Twin Towers would still be standing.
[–]JJFO 0 points1 point2 points 1 month ago
You just don't understand logic.
[–]OnAPartyRock 1 point2 points3 points 1 month ago
TIL Carl Sagan isn't an atheist prophet.
[–]SuperBeast4721 -14 points-13 points-12 points 1 month ago
I'm not convinced that faith can move mountains. But I've seen what it can do to skyscrapers.
[–]Decitron 10 points11 points12 points 1 month ago
and here i thought bin laden was upset about the us's dealings with the saudis and support for israel.
but i forgot, all wars and bloodshed are religious and never political. carry on.
[–]SuperBeast4721 -10 points-9 points-8 points 1 month ago
Well. Honestly Korea and Vietnam were the only wars the united states took part in that I can think of that didn't have a religious element for justifying the war.
Edit: forgot about WWI. That was primarily political.
[–]Decitron 8 points9 points10 points 1 month ago
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_wars_involving_the_United_States
im having a hard time finding any that are. to be honest religion is usually a secondary justification if it exists. for instance, manifest destiny was rhetoric to disguise political motives.
[–]SuperBeast4721 -1 points0 points1 point 1 month ago
As a native American I completely agree with that.

This reminds me of House as he may have done something similar.
[–]jchillin89 0 points1 point2 points 1 month ago
The guy and his girlfriend that came over seas because she was sick and the doctors in their country didn't know what was wrong with her. The boyfriend/husband kept saying that he knows god is watching over her and is going to make her better so House walked away and said "Then why did you come all the way to see me?"
Or something like that.
[–]The_Hatter -1 points0 points1 point 1 month ago
It would be just about time to decide what to do with posts like this. I think there's a demand for r/atheisthumor and r/badatheisthumor. Who would lose, if there was a place with a more light atmosphere and where it would be obvious that these posts should not be taken too literally? This would also clean up space from r/atheism for more insightful posts.
[–]Mr_Wolfgang_Beard 2 points3 points4 points 1 month ago
This is subreddit has become far too much about anti-theism than atheism.
[–]The_Hatter -2 points-1 points0 points 1 month ago
Yes, it does.
[–]Ragnar_OK 2 points3 points4 points 1 month ago
Yes, I've always wanted a white, middle class suburban teenager (at least, I hope you're a teenager, 'cause if you aren't, your shit's really fucked up) to explain how and when discrimination and bigotry are and aren't OK!
Please, give us more of your sage advice!
[–]The_Hatter 0 points1 point2 points 1 month ago
So I have to relinquish my sense of humour when I became atheist. Sorry, I did not get that note. Luckily we have you as our white knight and moral leader to tell us what's funny and what's not.
Luckily most people understand the difference between an unrealistic comic and real discrimination and bigotry.
btw. not a single one of your adjectives were right.
[–]Ragnar_OK 1 point2 points3 points 1 month ago
You're an idiot.
That is all.
[–]putcreativenamehere -9 points-8 points-7 points 1 month ago
Seen it before, but it's still great. A little douchey on the doctor's part, but it's still great xD
[–]biodrones -6 points-5 points-4 points 1 month ago
When people say "I believe in the power of prayer", what they really mean, deep down, is "I believe in the power of doctors". They know that if they rely solely on the power of prayer, they stand a good chance of dying.
[–]florida10 -5 points-4 points-3 points 1 month ago
I like this one, in the first place it's a cartoon, not duchbag at all. People self medicate all the time & wind up in the ER as a result of listing to the friend,neighbor,sister in law ..... Who had the same health issue. How is prayer any different? Pray, self medicate= same health issue for years. May not lead to death but a life of pain & horrible mental anguish. Being open & honest with your DR about everything = getting to the bottom of an issue, may not cure it but would certainly try & improve quality of life. Isn't that what people go to the DR's for? To improve the quality of life.
[–]JamesR624 -24 points-23 points-22 points 1 month ago
For the sake of intelligence and any hope for the progression of our species; doctors should legally be allowed to do this.
[–]Hamlet7768 5 points6 points7 points 1 month ago
Congratulations, you are now the polar opposite of a religious fanatic.
[–]crookers 4 points5 points6 points 1 month ago
What the holy fuck is wrong with you
[–]juggaloholocaust -14 points-13 points-12 points 1 month ago
This doctor deserves a medal . If all doctors did this it would be a better planet.
[–]Wild_Bulbasaur 14 points15 points16 points 1 month ago
That is probably more malicious than anything I've ever heard from a theist. You do realize you're saying the world would be a better place without religious people right? That just makes all of us atheists look like the asshole you are.
[–]Ragnar_OK 11 points12 points13 points 1 month ago
