Leaving harmful, objectively incorrect ideas, unchallenged isn't the the moral fucking highground.

Of course. That's why I'm an atheist.

It's irrational to look at the existence of something as 50/50 because it cannot be disproved as well as proved. Every single supernatural thing ever made up or imagined falls under the category of non-disprovable, fairies for example. Just because you cannot ultimately disprove something like fairies does not make its existence 50/50 or any more probable than something that actually doesn't exist.

Come on agnostics, you know you're a little bitch who can't let go of your fantasy.

It's time to grow up and grow out of those childish things. This is how adults behave.

Ah you've got it all wrong. Atheists don't 'hate' theists'. We just acknowledge that they are misinformed


also, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negative_and_positive_atheism

The whole concept of agnosticism is filled with ignorance and hypocrisy, and as far as I know, it's not even a legitimate belief position.

We have to relabel shit because people (like you) love to group atheists into one simple group without understanding what it means. Fuck you, sir.

Points about agnosticism regarding any unseen, unknown entities are valid.

'God' gets a special consideration because of the amount of people who hold to it, not because there is conflicting data on the matter.

If you are one of those "Atheist-agnostic-theist are the only available choices" kind of agnostic, you are a hypocritical piece of shit who needs to some fucking introducing to Russel's teapot.
99% of all self-proclaimed agnostics are agnostic atheists. Just admit it, you aren't going to hurt anyone's feelings.

That's fair.

>The whole basis of what I believe is that, it doesn't matter what you believe.

Then why do you bring it up?

>My biggest "wat" when it comes to Atheist is that they seem to think lack of evidence = proof of non-existence.


You can take the epistemological position that you can't disprove God, but in practice God is the ONLY thing agnostics choose to apply this standard to. They happily chuck vampires and dragons into the "does not exist" bin.

Fucking agnostics.

First of all, they're the indecisive jellyfish. These shitheads make up the majority of the agnostics. And why not? Indecisive jellyfish is practically the definition; after all, Richard Dawkins is certainly cooler than that proselytizing nerd Bertrand Russell. They typically look spaced out and believe in "something" but they're not sure "what".

The typical athiest is usually an annoying prick ("THE BIBLE IS MY FAVORITE BOOK...OF FICTION! OWNAGE!!!!!", but the agnostic is worse insofar as he has the pretensions of thinking what he's spouting is new. When it's really just a slightly different spin on "I don't fucking know", with maybe a little bit more smoke tinted glasses and windsocks. The second type is the apathetic, known for just not caring about something that's really fucking important and a display of your intelligence. And the third and final type is the athiest who doesn't want to have the stigma of being an athiest. Agnostic sounds better, and more Godly. You know? Coward!

And the worst thing of all? There's no upside to being an agnostic. No advantage. Zip. Nada. Nothing. At least with Christianity or any of the other religions, there's hope of becoming whisked away into Heaven (where you worship God for the rest of eternity) or Hell (where all the rock bands go to die) or some other plane of existence. And athiesm obviously has no afterlife or further plane of existence. Agnosticism? "No one knows." So if some religion is right, the agnostic is going to Hell or Hades or whatever. If athiesm's right, the agnostic doesn't get the smug satisfaction of being right. It's lose-lose, man! I don't see a fucking point in being agnostic, just like I don't think being 'undecided' is a good choice to pick for politics.

This sums it up perfectly
