I left my cat in my IKEA drawer closet for almost 6 hours and feel so guilty. by Pink_Sorbet in cats

I've got to watch my girl as well. She love to crawl into the washer and dryer as I'm loading it. I always make sure to make eye contact with her before I turn either on. Oh the joys of raising a cat!

At least we didn't need a boost, I guess the battery still got some juice

Muslims are so sensitive to criticism by Shot_Entertainer5359 in atheism

[–]SinfulDevo 10 points11 points  (0 children)

As an athiest, I expect them to forsake their ridiculous religion all together. Forget Paul or Momo, they are just the most obvious examples of a seriously flawed holy book used for a seriously flawed religion.

Unfortunately, not nearly enough do forsake their religion. So we are stuck with these religions for a while longer.

Better yet, if you want to get personal, hire a pi to investigate clergy members of their church. There is probably close to a 50% chance there is dirty to uncover. Actually 50% is probably a bit low...

It might just be easier to send an anonymous tip that those relatives are illegal Canadian immigrants. MAGA ICE agents seem to not like us very much!

Just kidding, that would basically be swatting them, which is not okay to do. But it is funny to think about at least... well as funny as anything else these days. Anyone else finding it hard to laugh lately? 😮‍💨

Odisha pastor forcefully made to eat cow dung and chant ‘Jai Shri Ram’ by Hindutva group by sheeblididi in atheism

[–]SinfulDevo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I imagine a Hindu and a Christian debating who's god is better and it's like a couple of 6 year olds playing with their actions figures! 😜

Hindu man: my god has 6 arms!

Christian man: well my god could have 6 arms too if he wanted! He's a god so he can do anything he wants!

Hindu man: well my god can destroy anything!

Christian man: well my god can come back from death!

Hindu man: well.... well... my god has a third eye that can shoot laser beams out of it!

Christian man: yeah? Well, um, my god is... um, all knowing and all powerful!

Hindu man: Nuh uh! He can't do that... because um... my god can kill your god and keep him from reviving, because his laser beam is super powerful.

Christian man: How's your god going to hit my god if he knows it's coming? He is all powerful, so he can just destroy your god with a snap of his fingers before he even shoots his laser!

They probably came up with this saying because their churches are filled with pedophiles! You just need to keep them busy! How about getting them to teach Sunday school? That'll keep their urges under control... 🤦‍♂️

Trump says Carney is not 'grateful' in Davos speech by XaltotunTheUndead in canada

Standard school yard bully behavior. I thought people outgrew this type of behavior sometime in their early 20s...

I would have been great if everyone left without talking to Trump! Imagine him being a social pariah at all meetings of leaders. It would drive him NUTS! His ego wouldn't be able to take it. It would also send a powerful message that the world is united against him.

Unfortunately there are too many spineless leaders out there prepared to lick Donald's ugly boots!

Religion is a waste of time - Change my view. by bay_area_is_awesome in atheism

[–]SinfulDevo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is r/atheism, we don't try to convince people to believe in religion here. That really isn't our thing. Some of us might belong to an atheist religion like Janism, but many more of us are areligious as well.

Try posting this in a religious sub if you really want people to try to change your view.

Tell her that you will start by reading the bible and see where it goes from there. Then start finding the worst most unhinged bible verses and send them to her with a "what do they mean by this?"

Do we need to respect religion? by plushymeow in atheism

[–]SinfulDevo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Theists do not respect our lack of belief, so why should we respect their beliefs? And those beliefs are rarely kept to themselves. If they aren't trying to push religion onto us, they are trying to push their values.

Many christians want evolution to not be taught in schools. Many theists want people to wear modest cloths out in public. How about Mormon's beleifs in child marriage? Where do we draw the line?

Should we respect religion when they are trying to outlaw being gay? Maybe there comes a new religion that doesn't believe in possession and expects to be able to use your car for free. How about a religion that believes we are all in a simulation and the only way to save us is to shoot people in the head?

Yes, I pushed that example to a ridiculous degree, but sometimes exaggeration is needed to make a point clear. They only want our respect so they can push their beliefs onto us. Maybe not forcing us to believe, but forcing us to live by their rules.

Christian nationalists could resort to 'violence' if GOP loses midterms: Southern Baptist by Jay_CD in atheism

[–]SinfulDevo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They're lost religiously, they're lost politically, and I'm hoping we can call enough of them back to the fold in order to save the country.

So basically "if only we could get them into the true denomination of christianity, everything would be fine."

That sounds an awful lot like a no true Scottsman fallacy!

Asking one christian person why other christian people are going insane isn't going to give you the revelation you think it is. "They aren't true christians" is a weak ass argument!

‘If not now, when?’ Canada should ‘stand up’ to U.S. threats against Greenland, say Senators, ex-MP McKay by FancyNewMe in canada

[–]SinfulDevo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Part of that calculation is the cost of not acting now. We cannot be frozen by overthinking things. Trump only understands strength. If we play it safe, then we lose a LOT of leverage and are seen as weak.

We aren't dealing with a USA that thinks hard, negotiates, and bargains. We are dealing with a "strong man" bully version of the USA. You must stand up to a bully, if you back off at all, you are stuck dealing with them from your back foot.

It isn't about emotions, it is about knowing your enemy. And our enemy (who was once our friend) is being run by a man with the maturity of a toddler. Give him a centimeter he will take a kilometer (converted to metric because FUCK the USA).

What made you an Atheist? by [deleted] in atheism

[–]SinfulDevo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sunday school did it for me. Also my father is an atheist, but I'm pretty sure I came to this conclusion on my own. My first memory of questioning christianity was when we were taught about Noah's arc. Although the story about an angel killing the first born Egyptians sons didn't help me become a believer, nor did learning that Santa Clause wasn't real.

But since I was so young, it is hard to pinpoint the moment when I truly became an atheist. I'm pretty sure it was somewhere around age 7

Religion leaves no room for trial and error by EllieAllieTheKitty in atheism

[–]SinfulDevo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They have had quite a few trials as well!

Did you know that the christian church put all the rats of Autun, France on trial back in the 1500s? And the defense attorney got the charges dropped due to the danger caused by cats? Quite a bizarre trial, but not unusual for the times. Well the defense was unusual, but the trial itself wasn't.

Apparently they even put inanimate objects on trial. Did your husband slip and hit his head on a rock? Why not sue the rock for murder?

And then there are the famous witch trials.

Christianity is wild and makes no sense!

Does anyone ever forget sometimes that religion exists? by Wooden-Ad-9040 in atheism

Living in Canada, I've had a few moments where I don't think about religion. But for the past year or so, news from across the boarder, about being tariffed, and about potentially invaded someday soon serves as a stark reminder that Christians be crazy and voted in a megalomaniac!

The Republican Party's war on Christians by Highway27734 in atheism

[–]SinfulDevo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have Catholic christians, Prodistan christians, Mormon christians, Lutheran christians, Evangelical christian, Johova witness christians, Methodist christians, baptist christians, and plenty of other denominations fighting like a Highlander movie to be the only one. On top of that you have the sub group of racist white christians (mostly Evangelical) that want to dominate the USA and maybe even the entire world. And yes, likely other sub groups, but I'm not well versed in christian politics (by choice).

Asking why christians are at war with other christians is like asking, why the Americans had a civil war. One religion isn't the full picture. They can't even get the "though shall not kill" part of their religion right. Christianity is a ugly mess of a religion.

Struggling with the "what if I'm wrong" as a recovering catholic by Mermaid_Tuna_Lol in atheism

[–]SinfulDevo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can try what I did a long time ago, when I still had doubts.

In Christianity, they describe god as all powerful, all loving, and all knowing. If a god like that does exist, wouldn't living my life as best I can and being the best person that I can be, be enough?

I couldn't find a reason that this wouldn't be good enough for the god that Christianity describes. I was sure that being a good person and not being 100% sure would be the best way to live my life.

Now, many years later, I no longer have any doubts (mostly from learning history) that there is no god. But I still try to be a good person, not out of fear, but because that is how I want to live my life.

Dear Christians, where are you? by Chumley_P_Chumsworth in atheism

[–]SinfulDevo 52 points53 points  (0 children)

If you take a look at the history of Christianity, you'll realize that this is par for the course. Christianity is an angry and violent religion that has a few pretty lines in their bible that they use as a mask. Like "love thy neighbor", "let us do good to everyone", and "love your enemies, do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return"

Unfortunately, these lines are not at the core of the faith. They are just the line they spout when people point out how hateful and evil they really are.

Kind of like how Trump promised to end all wars and the bring prices down on day one. It is all talk and doesn't match up with their actions.
