Do gobsh*te atheists irritate you as much as God Botherers ?

    There may / may not be a deity.

    There may / may not be an afterlife.

    There's nothing you can do about either outcome regardless of what you believe / don't believe in.

    Neither annoy me as much as those so obsessed with religion/non that they keep posting in AH about it...

    What if you're believing in the wrong god, and the real God gets angrier about belief in phoney gods than about non-belief?

    Trying to read God's mind fail.

    Pascals wager is such bullsh*te... I must equally believe in every god ever invented for it to be even nearly feasible.

    Atheists do my head in tbh, especially the belittling mocking kind who slag off those with faith.

    Those with faith are equally as guilty with belittling Atheists too. Each is as bad as the other.

    Atheists don't come to my door with shít magazines or books with pictures of creepy hand drawn children playing under rainbows.

    Is your search button broken? We had this discussion a month or so ago and we came to a conclusion. It was great, we found a middle ground and had a group hug.

    They annoy me much more than God botherers. Amongst intelligent informed people, atheists outnumber theists by a significant number. Yet they continue to be smug and preachy, its really ****ing annoying.

    I think in general , atheists tend to have bee in their bonnet about contradictory and hippocritical things that religous people and institutions do. They don't really care if you believe in a God or not but more in the way that they practice that belief. The reverse doesn't really work so it is always going to seem like atheists are giving out about something religous or other.

    Live your life with love in your heart and it doesn't matter if you believe in God or not.

    There are plenty other forums here better suited for this discussion. I would however advise you remove the gobshite bit if you plan on taking it to the Atheist forum.
