Atheist: HAHA YOU CHRISTIANS HAVE BURDEN OF PROOF YOU CAN'T PROVE GOD EXISTS SO HE DOESN'T EXISTS I'M RIGHT YOU'RE WRONG.

[–]Zidakuh 1 point2 points ago

BTW... Were'nt they going on about Islam at the moment?

[–]TheShadowFog 19 points20 points ago

ATHEISM

I'M RIGHT! YOU'RE WRONG! LA! LA! LA! I CAN'T HEAR YOU!

[–]jabedude 1 point2 points ago

You are not brave!

[–]Lunights 0 points1 point ago

You forgot the part with all of our proof against your book that's thoussnds of years old, been translated multiple times, and has no known reliable source of information. Details details.

[–]ncrazy235 7 points8 points ago

More like r/atheism. This subreddit is less tolerant than anybody I've ever met, and I've been to many churches and mosques. (Family members and such cause me to go)

[–]Dickingwithgrayson 17 points18 points ago

The same can be said for non-religious people as well.

[–]Echidnae 4 points5 points ago

I support you in this. My father is an atheist and complains about Islam, my best friend is an agnost so he complains about religion. My girlfriend is a muslim.

Talking to any one of them about any other beliefs gives me the sort of responses depicted in OP's image.

[–]Crownowa 4 points5 points ago

So which version of lalala do you like to sing?

[–]PokemonGannon 4 points5 points ago

This isnt even good, funny, or creative. Nice try.

[–]cagg333 4 points5 points ago

Religious Fundamentalists

FTFY, not every Religion/religious person is totally unacceptable of facts and reason.

[–]jabedude 0 points1 point ago

What do you mean? All fundies are the same!

[–]pinkert0n 1 point2 points ago

you missed the point...

[–]sometimesbar 0 points1 point ago

This is very funny, especially on /r/atheism, where comments are deleted without explanation.

[–]Feinberg 3 points4 points ago

I suspect you're confusing "comments" with "abuse, spam, and attacks on other redditors", and confusing "without explanation" with "because they were obviously abuse, spam, and attacks on other redditors".

[–]sometimesbar 0 points1 point ago

No, I think you're highly delusional.

From the FAQ:

All opinions are welcome here, and none will be deleted by moderators simply because they disagree with us or are unpopular.

[–]Feinberg 3 points4 points ago

What part of "abuse, spam, and attacks on other redditors" sounded like "unpopular and different", and how do you figure that I'm highly delusional?

Also, could you provide an example of this senseless and unfair censorship?

[–]sometimesbar -2 points-1 points ago

What part of "All opinions are welcome here" did you not get? A sensible person will read the FAQ line that as "No opinions will be deleted even if they disagree or are unpopular".

How can I provide any example when all you'll see is [deleted] and assume that it was fairly deleted?

But most importantly, why the fuck are you and that other guy responding to my comments after 4 days?

[–]Feinberg 4 points5 points ago

Yeah, the problem here is that you're assuming these deleted posts constitute opinions. Here, click this link, hit ctrl+f, and type in "It's always been a fantasy". That post and the next 7 or so are some of the posts that were deleted here. There are a few others that just consist of the word "brave" over and over and over again, or variations on the phrase "I just came." These aren't opinions, and they're totally suitable for deletion. That's just the ones who aren't posting advertisements and such.

As far as the delayed response, posts and comments have a way of bouncing from subreddit to subreddit.

[–]sometimesbar -3 points-2 points ago

You can't tolerate trite phrases like "brave" and "I just came"? That's the definition of censorship and relates perfectly with the original post. My point exactly. Plus, there are highly upvoted posts (like at +50s) that were deleted by the mods.

"bouncing from subreddit to subreddit"? Are you guys a part of a downvote brigade like SRS or circlejerkmilitia?

[–]Feinberg 2 points3 points ago

Plus, there are highly upvoted posts (like at +50s) that were deleted by the mods.

The group of people posting these inane insults and pointless profanity also upvote their posts.

bouncing from subreddit to subreddit"? Are you guys a part of a downvote brigade like SRS or circlejerkmilitia?

No, the people whose spam and pointless profanity you're defending are from there. The people replying to your comments appear to be from r/AntiAtheismWatch.

[–]sometimesbar -2 points-1 points ago

The group of people posting these inane insults and pointless profanity also upvote their posts.

You're wrong. A lot of regular members of r/atheism also questioned the removal. You just don't seem to be able to grasp the idea that there is censorship in /r/atheism and the fact that the original post is highly upvoted just seems to be /r/atheism's behavior. Or at least, their mods'.

r/AntiAtheismWatch?? I just went there. Looks to me like just another circlejerk. I see you're active there as well, which meant I was wasting my time talking to you all along.

[–]Feinberg 2 points3 points ago

Okay.

[–]Quazz 1 point2 points ago

Funny, your comment is still here.

Paranoid much?

[–]sometimesbar -2 points-1 points ago

Again, funny that you're replying to me after three days. And I'm not talking about my comments. Are you a Christian?

[–]Quazz 1 point2 points ago

The only comments I've seen deleted were either disgustingly inappropriate or deleted by the user.

[–]sometimesbar -2 points-1 points ago

You're speaking for yourself. I've seen comments deleted only because the mods didn't like it (possibly) and it can only be attributed to censorship.

You still haven't responded to me about the delayed response.

[–]Quazz 1 point2 points ago

Your lack of evidence speaks strongly

[–]sometimesbar -2 points-1 points ago

There is plenty of evidence. There are [removed] tags in a lot of places. Your lack of explanation also speaks strongly.

[–]Quazz 1 point2 points ago

Those tags also appear when a user deletes a comment.

[–]sometimesbar -2 points-1 points ago

Yes. But in this case, the mods removed it.

[–]Quazz 1 point2 points ago

And you know that, how?

[–]flippedoutcunt -2 points-1 points ago

There are no mods here, no one can delete other people's comments. i.e. no censorship unless your comments are really bad and downvoted.

[–]Serotone 1 point2 points ago

There are no mods here

[–]sometimesbar -2 points-1 points ago

Wow, you're wrong on so many things. There ARE mods here, and comments ARE deleted, even if they are highly upvoted.

About 'bad' comments, do you think they should be deleted? This is the definition of censorship.

[–]Quazz -1 points0 points ago

Should we just leave all the comments with links to CP up then?

Seriously?

[–]sometimesbar -2 points-1 points ago

  1. Why are you commenting on this after three days?
  2. Who is talking about CP? The comments which were deleted had nothing to do with CP.

[–]Cats_and_atheists -1 points0 points ago

BUT THERE'S NO CENSORSHIP!! (UNLESS WE DON'T AGREE WITH YOUR OPINION)

[–]JTown91 0 points1 point ago

Do not accept prophecy but learn from it. This is my understanding of how scripture is to be interpreted. Works with science too.

[–]toughluck1 -1 points0 points ago

Women*

FTFY

[–]nnotserPx 1 point2 points ago

hey guys i saw this wonderful and awesome display of ~logic~ and ~reason~ today in /r/atheism and you know what I figured it needed? sexism. yeah sexism would probably just top off this cake of bravery very nicely

upvotes to the left please.

[–]toughluck1 0 points1 point ago

I'm sure you can take a joke, too.

[–]nnotserPx 1 point2 points ago

your jokes are shitty.

[–]toughluck1 0 points1 point ago

as is your ability to take shitty jokes, geez, what are we all? stand up comics?
