Obviously sarcasm.
[–]qshoe1 2 points3 points4 points 11 days ago
Yeah this guys right
[–]Speaking-of-segues 6 points7 points8 points 11 days ago
Upon further investigation I can confirm this checks out
[–]decoyninja 2 points3 points4 points 11 days ago
My sources have verified this as well.
[–]babyeatingathiest 0 points1 point2 points 10 days ago
It is apparent that the current consensus between specialist converge on that conclusion as well.

This makes more sense to me ATHEISM
The arrogant belief that the Universe was not "created"
[–]nlyles1 -7 points-6 points-5 points 11 days ago
yep, theres was a bunch of nothing, then something happened and with no design or creation at all the universe just kinda worked itself out. soo yeah, gods not real cuz i know science and stuff. Chick fil a
[–]7-sidedDice 2 points3 points4 points 11 days ago
Are you daft? Go educate yourself on the Big Bang, please.
[–]nlyles1 -1 points0 points1 point 11 days ago
I know what the big bang is. Atheists believe that their was zero planning to the universe though since no one created it right? That no one laid out the guidelines to the most complex thing we know of. That nothing set the laws of physics in place for the universe to guide itself by. And no one set the laws of biology so life could take place and evolve and adapt. I'm not a theist because I believe in fairy tales. I'm a theist because that makes no logical sense
I didn't ask you to educate yourself on what the Big Bang is, I told you to probably at least read in to the Big Bang as we currently understand it.
Did the Big Bang happen by chance? Perhaps. It might've had a cause, but not necessarily a reason. Although, this might not be true at all, seeing as time itself was created along the Big Bang, therefore there was no time before the Big Bang for a god(s) to exist in.
Did the structure of the universe happen by chance? Most certainly. There is no evidence to suggest someone, or something, molded this realm to its wishes. In fact, we know that the universe did arrange itself thanks to the forces of its expansion and gravity. That's how stars, galaxies, and later, planets and other bodies were formed. All of this makes sense, I don't know what you've read about but this isn't any harder than learning to count with your fingers.
Does it seem impossible? No. We can see it by simply observing what's already happened. To say that just because the universe is so grand, complex and beautiful, it must've had a creator, is quite ignorant and dismissive of the facts that I've just listed. While nobody can deny the amazing structure of our humble little realm, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and just as an awe-inspiring painting could be created by randomly splashing colours across a canvas, so can a universe.
P.S. And another thing, willful ignorance and the choice to shut yourself off from scientific fact just because you believe it "doesn't make any logical sense," which it does, is probably one of the biggest mistakes you can make. If I may ask, what religion or philosophy do you follow?
These laws were not set so this all would happen, it all happened because of these laws. If you think your version makes more sense, you are a moron.
[–]EpicDougC 6 points7 points8 points 11 days ago
Yeah, I saw this a while ago and thought "wouldn't it be arrogant if you think everything WAS just for you?"
[–]tjenator 8 points9 points10 points 11 days ago
You..: You realize this is sarcastic right?
[–]Whiskee 8 points9 points10 points 11 days ago
that awkward moment when religious arguments get so dumb you aren't sure if someone is being sarcastic or not anymore. You'd be surprised.
[–]MyLifeForSpire 2 points3 points4 points 11 days ago
that awkward moment when on December 21, 2012, all the religious people in the world stand up and admit they've been part of the most long-lasting elaborate trolling of all humanity... "end of the world as we know it"...
[–]KalElKent821 0 points1 point2 points 11 days ago
Oh my science! That would be amazing!
[–]EpicDougC 0 points1 point2 points 11 days ago
I know, it's just first time I saw it a Christian had posted it on another sight as if it's against atheism.
[–]TheShadyCat 0 points1 point2 points 11 days ago
same thought here. Apparently they didn't know how arrogance works. Go figure!
[–]avandor 2 points3 points4 points 11 days ago
I think they misspelled logical, but if that's arrogance, I'm okay with it.

[–]five_hammers_hamming 2 points3 points4 points 11 days ago
I swear, I first saw this as a sort of parody/serious thing made by our side, meant to demonstrate how our position is quite the opposite of arrogant.
Have a few batshit-nutso religioats taken the words literally and found them true?
[–]Nonbeing 0 points1 point2 points 11 days ago
I think your first impression was correct; that's what I assumed, too.
[–]houndoftindalos 2 points3 points4 points 11 days ago
You say "arrogant" as if it were a bad thing. If there is no humanity, there is no consciousness to ascribe meaning to anything. I personally don't give a shit about any kind of world without people in it.
[–]Sutanreyu 0 points1 point2 points 11 days ago
Do you play video games?
[–]houndoftindalos 0 points1 point2 points 6 days ago
Yes. I assume what you're getting at is "Why do you like games because people don't occupy those worlds" The difference is that a universe without humanity is a universe without the human mind. A video game world is a world created by the human mind.
[–]qshoe1 1 point2 points3 points 11 days ago
This was a facetious joke made by atheists..
[–]GreyEarth 0 points1 point2 points 11 days ago
Even if.
Even IF, the universe was all created for us, what makes us think we deserve it?
[–]Ruffianmac233 0 points1 point2 points 11 days ago
Hell yea dude u deserve up votes
[–]Late1110 1 point2 points3 points 11 days ago
IMO this is somewhat incorrect, since not believing in religions where universe was created for humans doesn't make you an atheist.
[–]ohnoTHATguy123 1 point2 points3 points 11 days ago
I've seen this here before....a couple of times...i have to downvote.
[–]Gigcycle -1 points0 points1 point 11 days ago
As a Christian, I don't think the universe was created for us. It was created for God.
[–]errstl 1 point2 points3 points 11 days ago
This is a great example of Poe's law.
[–]EOTWAWKI 1 point2 points3 points 11 days ago
Actually - more like 200 - 400 billion galaxies.
[–]thymeismoney 0 points1 point2 points 11 days ago
I had to reread that to make sure that made sense. Yeah, it doesn't.
[–]mitchrsmert 1 point2 points3 points 11 days ago
False. Not "billion". 125+ billion by current estimate.

Poe's Law?
...Poe's Law.
[–]squigs 0 points1 point2 points 11 days ago
The claim isn't that atheism is arrogant. It's that atheists are. There's a very strong "We're right, you're wrong" attitude (Which is ironic when most atheists seem to claim to simply lack belief so don't even have a position).
An arrogant statement that you're not arrogant doesn't do a lot to affect this perception.

[–]HeyMakoooooooooowoah -3 points-2 points-1 points 11 days ago*
I think some of the criticism of being "arrogant" also comes from atheists' tendency to denounce religious speculation as not being factual due to lack of empirical or substantial evidence to support it. So basically... they call atheists arrogant for calling facts factual, calling speculation speculative and not humoring the idea a divine creator just made it that way.
