Should I openly say I'm Atheist ?

[Indigo]

My question wasn't about my beliefs or about atheism... my question was whether I should post it or not...

You're wrong but I don't feel like arguing. kthx.

 

[azanon]

Oh I'm definitely correct. My definitions, as stated, are all over the internet. If you can use google, confirm them yourself.

 

[Indigo]

Dude you're wrong, and you know it... do some research beyond google... google isn't always right, don't be so lazy, plus you are from the Bible Belt....

I thought you said you weren't interested in arguing? Make up your mind.

I had 3 college elective courses in Philosophy, and aced all 3. This is chapter 1 stuff.

I'm not arguing I'm just stating facts

If it's going to cause this much turmoil, you might as well say that you're a Scientologist and piss everyone off.

My friend puts "Satanist" in religion on facebook and ladies absolutely love him. He's a pretty cheery guy too. You can always say you're atheist and spiritual... lots of girls do that.

Say you're a secular humanist, or a naturalist. Many people will know what you mean, and the ones that don't, well you can have an interesting time explaining it to them.

Other than that, don't ever do or not do something because you're worried how others will perceive you.

HA!

Hey Francisco, I see you live in MPLS... I live in MN, up north for the moment, school...

Any hot places to pick up girls down in the cities?

I guess he lost interest in his original question.

You're right about that, but the key word there is worry!

Your folks sent you to school up in Moorehead to try to keep you out of trouble didn't they? Well, we'll fix that.

Hit up these clubs on the weekend.

• The Annex
• The Lounge
• The Rush
• Envy

Oh yeah, stop by the Light Rail station on Block 'E' after the clubs close, you'd be surprised by the women taking the train back to the MOA where they left their cars.

 

[Effington]

I stay away from anything regarding politics and religion, because no one ever wins those debates.

 

[Indigo]

HAHAHAHAHAHA...

No, not Moorehead, I'm in Bemidji... close enough. There are quite a few hot girls though, I can't complain about that.. I go down to the cities every once in a while and I'm planning on transfering some place else soon... to a bigger city..

thx.

being an athiest myself, it's not something i openly broadcase to the world. I don't give a **** what people think, it's what I believe and I believe in my belief core, however why start **** when you don't have to?

My beliefs is one of thoose things that women find out when you peel the orange and you take a bite out of it,a nd you get to the middle where the seeds are. Very, very few people know what i believe in.

The ones who evenaully put two and two together always say teh same old ****.. "I never would have guessed someone like you were an athiest".. meaning I enver thought a normal mother****er could not believe in god... meaning if I would have told you before you actually MET me ou would have thought i was an oddball.

again, why defend yourself when there is no need? Do as you wish but behave like others.

The ones that don't understand will probably think that you are one of those tree humpers.

Well it's true, if you say you're an atheist, there's a good chance you'll get the cold shoulder from a lot of people who are retarded. If you're American at least, there is a huge stigma for anyone who flat out says they don't believe in God.

So, if you want to, just say you're an atheist. You'll be doing the right thing, for you, which is all that matters.

Just keep in mind, that there are a lot of people who, if given the chance to get to know you, would completely change their opinions of what atheism means to them. You may not get an opportunity to meet these people, or show them how lame their thinking is... the very people who's opinion you could probably change.

You just have to decide, if it's more important to define yourself by your lack of belief, or if you want to "fit in" and try to change the system from the inside.

If it were me, I'd leave the religion (or lack of thereof) out of it all together. Because it doesn't matter. Just like whether you're a conservative or liberal, in the grand scheme of things, really doesn't matter when it comes to meeting people and making friends. That's all surface stuff. So treat it like a surface issue... if you want to get caught up in labels, good or bad, then go for it.

 

[KontrollerX]

Yeah put it in there dude.

Ya don't want to meet some chick off of there and get a connection going with her only to find out that she's a hardcore Christian who will only keep dating you if you are one too.

Not all of them are like that of course but you might as well shop for someone thats more or less got the same outlook on life at least in this really important way as I've heard plenty of horror stories about atheist guys getting involved with Christian chicks and getting married and then there's a big power struggle over whether the kids are going to be raised Christian or Atheist.

Avoid that mess and all other related ones is my advice.

It truly saddens me to see atheists, have you not heard of the one true religion Flying Spaghetti Monsterism?

Here is a link so that you may learn more. May you be touched by His noodly appendage.

Put something clever or funny. Or leave it blank. Or put "I HATE GOD!" in. (Bonus points if you spell it as "I H8 GOD!")
