Atheism
"In this moment I am euphoric ..." --some retarded atheist
An atheist is someone who doesn't believe in [1]god or any other similar
supernatural beings. An especially annoying kind is the [2]reddit atheist
who will DESTROY YOU WITH FACTS AND LOGIC^(TM) while managing to throw
around le [3]42 jokes. These atheists are 14 year old children who think
they've discovered the secret of the universe and have to let the whole
world know they're an ATHEIST who scored 200 [4]IQ on facebook test and
knows all 10 argument fallacies, while in fact they reside at the [5]mount
stupid and many times involuntarily appear on other subreddits such as
r/iamverysmart and r/cringe. They masturbate to [6]Richard Dawkins, love
to read [7]soyentific studiiiiiies about how [8]race has no biological
meaning and think that religion is literally [9]Hitler (oh noes, reduction
to HITLER has been committed, game over) while taking every words of
famous soyence popularizators like the word of a priest. They love to
write or even read the [10]"rational" wiki. They like to pick easy targets
such as [11]flatearthers and cyberbully them on [12]YouTube with the power
of SCIENCE and their enormously large thesaurus (they will never use a
word that's among the 100000 most common English words). They are so
[13]cringe you want to [14]kill yourself, but their discussions are
sometimes entertaining to read with a bowl of popcorn.
Such a specimen of atheist is one of the best quality examples of a
[15]pseudosceptic. See also this:

Favorite topics of atheists include argument fallacies (which they also
like to practice), cognitive biases (same), their own intelligence,
[16]Occam's razor, Murphy's laws, the number [17]42, [18]quantum physics,
proving over and over that Earth isn't flat (at least 10 times every day
just to keep themselves in shape), correlation that does not imply
causation, finding contradictions in Bible, asking other people for
citations, [19]binary or even [20]hexadecimal numbers, "programming in
HTML", living in a simulation and disproving religion with books about
[21]Evolution or something.
On a bit more serious note: we've all been there, most people in their
teens think they're literal [22]Einsteins and then later in life cringe
back on themselves. However, some don't grow out of it and stay arrogant,
ignorant fucks for their whole lives. The principal mistake of the stance
they retain is they try to apply "science" (or whatever it means in their
world) to EVERYTHING and reject any other approach to solving problems --
of course, [23]science (the real one) is great, but it's just a tool, and
just like you can't fix every problem with a hammer, you can't approach
every problem with science. In your daily life you make a million of
unscientific decisions and it would be bad to try to apply science to
them; you cross the street not because you've read a peer-reviewed paper
about it being the most scientifically correct thing to do, but because
you feel like doing it, because you believe the drivers will stop and
won't run you over. Beliefs, intuition, emotion, non-rationality and even
spirituality are and have to be part of life, and it's extremely stupid to
oppose these concepts just out of principle. With that said, there's
nothing wrong about being a well behaved man who just doesn't feel a
belief in any god in his heart, just you know, don't be an idiot.
Although they think they do, these atheists don't really believe in
science but rather [24]soyence, they have merely chosen to subscribe to a
new religion than the old one. Compare these scenarios:
* A medieval peasant believes what the priest tells him because only the
priest has high enough education to know the language of the
scripture. The priest tells the peasant God's miracles happen and
other priests confirm this, they even show him the page in the holy
book where it is written, it was reviewed by hundreds of priests. The
peasant believes them, he didn't see the miracles (in fact he doesn't
even know anyone who did) but someone with higher education assured
him it is so and other people with such education approve of the
message. Why would they lie? Certainly there is no politics and
business in religion. Besides this, questioning the priests is
socially punished, it's better to not do it.
* A [25]21st century internet peasant believes what PhD in biology tells
him about human [26]races because he himself doesn't have such
qualification nor the means to run his own research. The PhD science
popularizator tells the guy races are an illusion and other such PhDs
confirm this, they even make their mutually reviewed papers available
on the internet. The guy believes them, he didn't make the research
himself (in fact what they say contradicts his everyday observations)
but someone with higher education assured him it is so and other
people with such education approve of the message. Why would they lie?
Certainly there is no politics and business in science. Besides this,
questioning these PhDs is socially punished, it's better to not do it.
We see there is zero difference besides changed names.
Among the greatest minds it is hard to find true atheists, even though
they typically have a personal and not easy to describe faith. [27]Newton
was a Christian. [28]Einstein often used the word "[29]God" instead of
"nature" or "universe"; even though he said he didn't believe in the
traditional personal God, he also said that the laws of physics were like
books in a library which must have obviously been written by someone or
something we can't comprehend. [30]Nikola Tesla said he was "deeply
religious, though not in the orthodox sense". There are also very hardcore
religious people such as [31]Larry Wall, the inventor of [32]Perl
language, who even planned to be a Christian missionary. The "true
atheists" are mostly second grade "scientists" who make career out of the
pose and make living by writing books about atheism rather than being
scientists.
