You shouldn't have to stay quiet about these things, but saying you don't feel the need to be nice feels hypocritical because it sounds like if they can't be nice, you won't either. Kindness should always be the thing to strive for.

Also, I understand that although it is upsetting to be belittled, attacked, or mocked, that should not justify being rude to strangers based upon a common characteristic, especially when you don't know them.

100

So although there are some groups, they are not representative of atheists as a whole or non-believers in general. I don't see the need to poke at an entire group of hundreds of millions of people. If there is an issue with an individual or organization, it would make more sense to discuss them.

100

While there are atheists who form groups based on being atheists, the entirety of atheists are not a group in any sense. That's part of my point. Christians all have a defining belief in a god and their prophet, but atheists are people from all over the world and are very diverse in every category.

100

All this is to say, I am sorry if people have had poor experiences with others who claim to be atheists before. But there really is no reason to pick on atheists specifically, as the behaviors are neither unique to atheists, nor are they indicative of atheists as a whole. It's a stereotype.

100

Especially when those people are only grouped together by something they have no choice in, like their skin color, gender, sexuality, etc. Atheists similarly are bound by a lack of choice. You cannot choose to believe in something that makes no sense to you, it would be performative at best.

100

The thing that is really the most worrying, is the "othering" that happens to groups of people based on singular personal experiences. These anecdotes of "this one time this guy said to me" and "I once saw this person do this thing" is what leads to stereotyping of entire categories of people.

100

The entire point of being an atheist is that atheists don't do something. They don't believe in gods. Having those folks be organized would be like people who don't play sports having a "No sports allowed" club. It wouldn't make much sense. I think on an individual basis, everyone should be kind.

100

I understand you've had some bad experiences with people who are atheistic before. Considering that, I don't know how atheists are supposed to talk about this in the open more, as they are not only a minority that gets targeted even in 2025, but they have no organized structure.

All proselytizers bother people. I don't understand why specifically atheists are an issue to the point of making it the main issue. Christians of a hundred varieties, Hindus, Buddhists, Muslims, and Mormons all proselytize. I'm asking why the atheists are being called out specifically?

130

People love to get grumpy over nothing. Like yeah, I don't believe in religions for the same reason I don't believe in Santa Claus, but it's a non-position. Being an atheist doesn't give us automatic moral superiority.

Feels really disingenuous, like hate-bait. I don't understand why people need to attack a group of folks that aren't bothering anyone with generalizations and anecdotes. Like okay, maybe you got bothered by a few annoying atheists, but what's the point of this? Is this just to hate on folks, or?

Bethesda RPG protagonist trying to fuck, but every time they stick it in the game engine detects that two physics objects have intersected and ragdolls them into the ceiling.

Half of Palestinians in Gaza are under the age of 18. When they have every hospital, grocery store, food bank, aid distribution center, and refugee camp having been bombed directly by Israel, knowing they are largely killing children.. that is directly a genocide. You are trying to justify genocide

I'm sick and it's your fault, humanity. You're now legally required to feed me soup.

Going to send in my submission to EA to help them save a little money and repay that $20,000,000,000 debt. #Gaming #EA #FIFA #ElectronicArts #Sellouts

Using LLM chat model "A.I." for everything is going to make men even more useless at basic tasks.

If you ever want to make people think you're a psycho, you can put gelatin in your milk and horrify them by slurping it down in congealed form.

If you want to piss off some Nazis you can go give any Bethesda game (notably Skyrim) a positive Steam review just for funsies. Apparently they are mad that Bethesda said fascism is bad in a normal, promotional tweet about their Indiana Jones game. (They don't have the best reading comprehension)

Imagine being in a post-rapture world and not having called first dibs on your evangelical Christian neighbors' stuff first.

Trying to find cheer in a world where people get more upset from a nazi getting shot than from children getting shot. Shit is rough.

Taking bets on what happens first. Are we finding aliens, or is America getting healthcare? My money is on aliens right now.

He was a nazi psycho though.. He was an ultra-conservative, misogynistic, Christian nationalist who thought that empathy is bad and gun deaths are acceptable. Would these platforms also have banned people for hating on Hitler?

It's going to be so cringe when people make documentaries about our present day.

Does anyone know where you can buy a bulletproof necktie? I'm asking for a friend.

Much appreciated. I owe it all to my family and friends, they really helped carry me through hard times working towards this award.

I would like to personally thank the academy for this award. It can take a lifetime of work to be recognized, but I feel truly blessed this day.

Yeah but what's his criminal background? You know he probably was asking for it. What was he wearing? It should have been a modest bulletproof vest. Why didn't he shoot back? Are we sure this wasn't a false flag operation? I feel like it's too convenient. Hold on I can get more.

Totally unrelated to any news stories today. Absolutely not related. I swear. Pinkie swear.

It feels like a good day to come back on Bluesky after not being online in a while. I just felt a balance in the force today for whatever reason. Weird.
