At least they don’t try to manipulate you

I would have to disagree. I have personally met many atheists who have tried to convince me that they are right by using insults and attacking religion rather than giving solid points about why they could be right. Instead, they belittle people by saying things like, “Oh, you’re crazy and stupid if you believe in religion.” The truth is, this happens on both sides.

I completely agree with you; both sides/all sides need to be more understanding of each other and not shove opinions down others throats. If someone believes in religion so what and if they don’t so what? The world keeps turning and we live here together whether we like it or not.

belittling and criticizing someone’s character to try and persuade them to think your side is correct is textbook definition of manipulation. If you think there isn’t an issue there then you’re part of the issue.

I think that Christians are way worse. Never met people who are atheists who do that without reason—aka you started it first. But yeah, poor you guys lmao

Also way better than that than Christians and religious people hiding their pedophilia or violence or abuse behind morality and other forms of emotional abuse.

You’re using an appeal to emotions fallacy. It seems you would rather argue about how evil religious people are rather than recognizing that shoving your opinion down people’s throat is bad on both sides of the spectrum. Accountability is important no matter the side, but it seems you are too blinded by hate to recognize that.

Well, Atheists don’t believe in some dude up in the sky, so if I had to call one of them stupid, it would def be the religious person who believes myth is reality

My first comment in a thread can’t be hypocritical because there’s no prior opinion of mine for me to contradict… you beating the stupid allegations is not looking too good rn

I mean you replied to my discussion where I had said shoving your opinion down people’s throat and using manipulation/insults is bad. Your response to this is to insult religious people rather than give a valid point. The hypocrisy is that atheists constantly hate on religious people by saying they force their beliefs, but it’s okay when you do it right? Do we need to go back to kindergarten to relearn “treat others how you want to be treated”? Lmao

I also think you’re being hypocritical; I had the exact opinion you do until very recently. I think you need to try again at this with an open mind like I had to less than a year ago. Believing in a religion doesn’t make you dumb, it makes you hopeful, it gives you a set of principles to stick to. That being said I’m not religious, but if you can’t understand why someone is then it’s you that’s the problem not them.
