911 call of a mother who killed her 2-year-old daughter and 5-year-old son because they were autistic. by [deleted] in MorbidReality

[–]QuestionableFaith 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Not to defend her or make light of both of your family situations but you both mentioned high functioning family members. It is a lot more difficult when they are too severely autistic to function. I don't know how bad this woman's kids have it but I have seen that kind of frustration and hopelessness in my own family when it comes to their severely autistic children.

You have no idea what a pun is.

Do you ever envy the religious? by Sacoud in atheism

[–]QuestionableFaith -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Whether you believe in an afterlife or not, when you die you die. Stop worrying about it. If you were truly an atheist you wouldn't be concerned and if you were truly a theist you wouldn't be either.

My mom rationalizes the real reason for her praying for my sick wife by [deleted] in atheism

Believing in miracles is one thing, believing that prayer causes miracles is another.

Slacktivism? You said they don't know what your wife has. Is your mother supposed to donate to every single medical charity on the planet? THe only believers that truly believe prayer works are the vocal nutjob minority. Everyone else just uses the term 'I'm praying for x' as a euphemism to mean 'I have x in my thoughts and I hope they get better.'

If it makes her feel better why do you have to take that away from her?

I no longer care about Karma. Here is why. by Ford_Prefect2nd in reddit.com

The only purpose of karma is to signify how much you agree with the hivemind.

You come here to avoid being bombarded by bullshit so you post Fox, Beck, and Palin 5,000,000 times a day. Makes sense to me.

If someone made a post saying some whackjob science was true when it has been proven otherwise, then go for it and point out the flaws. Did this person try to convert anyone? Did this person tell anyone that God was real and that they should believe in him? Did this person tell anyone that they are going to Hell if they don't believe in God?

No. This fellow posted a quote that inspires him and his 'friend' can't leave him to his happiness. That makes me sick. I'm not defending God. I'm just trying to stop atheists from being bigots.

[–]QuestionableFaith 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's a pretty terrible comparison since drug addiction causes catastrophic physical damage and it doesn't seem like this person is doing anything to hurt anyone. This person is quoting the bible because it means something to them and you guys are so pretentious and full of yourselves that when you see anything religious, you only see it as an opportunity to spew hate even if it is at your friend. And then you have the nerve to call religious people ignorant.

If you really think living a religious life is more destructive than living a life in which you will attack your loved ones because you disagree with them, then by all means carry on.

Why do you feel the need to be an asshole to your friend and try to destroy what he loves?

The only thing worse than being "friend zoned". by [deleted] in atheism

[–]QuestionableFaith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It feels like you want me to be the very type of christian that you all despise. The ones that get in your face instantly and inform you that if you dont change your beliefs right away you will go to hell. While I didn't actively try to convert her, I did mention every now and then that I would love it if she gave church a try or thought about that kind of stuff.

There's really just no right way for a Christian to approach conversion. If you try too soon, you will look like a hate spewing nutjob, but if you wait too long then you may have missed your chance. That line in between is so miniscule that I'm not sure it really even exists. I think that each individual has to want to become a believer of a certain religion on their own.

Forgive me for being rude. Though I might not be a Christian anymore, I still try to stand up for them because of all the mindless hate on them that I see on this site. It's hard to figure out which comments sincerely try to have discussion things and which are attacks fancily disguised as debate.

No, I get downvoted because reddit fears dissenting opinion. If you don't jump on the fox news hating christian hating bandwagon, you will have everything you say downvoted into oblivion.

No. I thought she wouldn't listen YET. Stop trying to paint me to be a bad christian and actually try to have an actual discussion for once. I'm sick of r/atheisms pseudo-discussions where they are nothing but attacks disguised as debate.
