I do not like that atheism is being tied with satanism in this weird religious display being violently attacked by other religious terrorists. I don’t agree with the satanists tactics, and I don’t want to be associated with them in any way. Atheists don’t support religions. Even fake ones. Especially ones that are the mortal enemies of the local religious terrorists.
Couldn’t they do this crap with their stupid noodle god bullshit? At least that nonsense hasn’t been the main enemy of christianity/abrahamic religions for thousands of years.
Atheists don’t support religions.
Why not?
Even fake ones.
What makes you think that it’s fake? I’m a Satanist, and the religion is very real for me. It has had a positive influence on my life.
Ok bye.
How dare you insult the great flying spaghetti monster like that.
I’m an ordained minister in the Church of the FSM. Ordained another guy to marry us last month. Talk about feeling personally attacked. :)
I’m pretty sure getting a rise out of Christians is half the point
Who the fuck are you to speak for me and who I support?
Speak for yourself, by yourself, dogmatic atheist.
You’re free to not like it, and free to voice your opinion but you do not speak for atheists. Go ahead and keep your fears about granting any religion legitimacy through any twisty means, but don’t be dogmatic about it and start telling other people what they do and do not support. You will be wrong every time, and deserving of every ridicule you get.
What don’t you agree with? Be specific.
The Supreme Court, quite bigotedly, determined that the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster (PBUHNA) is not a “real” religion, and therefore adherents do not enjoy the same rights as people who follow one of the preferred religions.
Satanism, on the other hand, is a nontheistic religion that has long been recognized, even if it is begrudgingly, as a preferred religion in the United States. That’s why you don’t see this “crap,” aka fighting for your individual liberties and equal protection under the law, from the FSM anymore.
Don’t conflate atheists with the areligious. There’s an overlap, but they aren’t the same.
Ok. I don’t believe I did that.
Sorry, I meant to reply to the guy two spots above your.
Atheists don’t support religions.
Atheists actively do not believe in God or gods. The Satanic Temple is non-theistic. There are plenty of atheists out there that support non-theist religions.
Your displeasure that atheism being related to “Satan” is you taking a theistic viewpoint by seeing it as the Abrahamic religions do.
The word “Satan” was not originally a proper name, but rather an ordinary noun that means “adversary”. In this context, it appears at several points in the Old Testament.
If you actually read and knew the tenet of TST then you’d know that they are the adversary of Christian extremism.
