Why do atheists have so much pride?

[ghostdog28]

like when they think they've won an argument or pwned somebody.. they're so pleased with themselves.
Reality check. Great, you've won. That means you're a sack of meat that is only here to breed like bacteria. Are you happy?

The argument against theism can never be won if you're arguing with a true believer. We are destined to fight this battle until we die. Seeing as how I can't breed (forever alone) this life still has a purpose though. This life is to be an exciting experience which I may never experience again. I'm here to make the best out of it because it could all end when my turn has come to pass.

why are religious people so proud of taking a fairy tale way too seriously?

[GreenZerg]

Labeling those that don't believe in fairy tales "Atheists' is like saying "Not going skiing" is a hobby.

Because that fairy tale means your'e more than just a self-centered fleshy bag that will spread its seeds and then rot.

If that was the case we'd all have the same amount of hobbies, 'm I rite?

no, it just means that you can't handle the reality that one day you will cease to live.

When I have this conversations with people that are older than me I put the kid gloves on and be nice because of the time difference and their lack of ability and reluctance to gain new knowledge is what's holding them back. People our age should know better, a simple Google search on an iphone will reveal enough information to squash the god delusion quick fast.

You guys are going to love how Rob Boston handles the debate. I swear you'll cheer.

take away the ego that fills you with delusions about your importance and you wouldn't handle it either. That's why a lot of highly intelligent people who are into math or science end up depressed as ****. They know what it all means.

Pride is the wrong word. They are smug.

they think that since there is no reason to feel guilt for moral choices that they are free to go about their whims.

ego spikes up.

thus a cheeky kunt is born.

Everyone is just trying to help one another. Religious people want to share the warm fuzzy feeling they get with their beliefs. Athiests want to share the freedom they have found with their non-belief.

It's not worth arguing over because the chance of changing someones belief or non-belief is about 1 in 350 trillion.

so atheists have a big ego that fills them with delusions, but the guys who think that out of an inconceivably large universe that some magic being specifically picked them to be his special children are the humble ones....

those types of people don't have much else going for them. No matter what side they are on.

So "winning" a debate makes them feel good about themselves.

[ghostdog28]

It makes sense why atheists usually get stuck in their smarter than thou mode looking down at believers. What else are they gonna do. a lot of believers have seen the abyss that is being nothing but meat controlled by dna and they chose to walk with god rather than go through life as mere animals. Atheists never realize the full implications of atheism. the full implications could make a person vomit. Read some sociobiology and you'll know what I mean

No. Have you ever noticed how you think you are the main character in a story about you? that's your ego tricking you. The point of your whole anatomy including your thoughts is to get you to breed. A monkey sees the same point of view too "I MUST SURVIVE. I MUST EXIST"
If you take away the higher reference point of god, your ego becomes your god.

I imagine it's the same reason anyone feels pride in something; they truly and genuinely feel their side of the argument is correct. This is true for all people, not just atheists

[dussocaster]

Life is meaningless... dealwithit. And try to have some fun before you die anytime.

I Think it's because church makes people feel bad. I used to feel bad in church all the time 'sins' forgiveness' bla bla bla... Now when I go (xmas, easter ect...) (to keep gramma happy before she dies) I feel bad for all the people that are there believing this krap. How the table has turned...

brb doing things religious people can only dream of (I'm sure that they would love to have moar fun, they just don't dare...)

[Archangel_Lost]

it's amusing when religious peeps suddenly try to play the victim

[ghostdog28]

true. we didn't evolve to find truth. We evolved to out-argue one another.

"Dr. Phil mode"

Have always thought that as religion is something most people are conditioned into that people who rebel against it somehow feel they've broken their chains and seen the light so it makes them superiour, combined with the fact that many religious stories seem more like fairytale than anything we see these days and it's quite easy to mock people for believing something that an atheist finds childish and silly.

While am an Atheist myself I realise that far more intelligent people than me believe in religion, maybe it's because it's part of their brains rules which lets them get through every day of their life, maybe it's because they take comfort in life after death, there are millions of reasons why. At the same time I also know I'm guilty of the exact same things people do when they consider religion but about other things in life, I have rulesets and opinions that I believe but others don't and while I try to base them on common sense I still fail sometimes.

Atheists who brag about not believing in God are just as annoying at those who push it down peoples throats.

[LankedOut]

Because pride is a sin in christianity. As an atheist I can have as much pride as I want.

U mad OP?

Why do you feel bad for them? Their lives are filled with meaning. They have families. They "talk" to god. They never feel like lonely cold bags of flesh.

herp derp bible and qur'an say those with an ounce of pride are not attaining salvation/going to heaven, dumbphuk
