My summation is this, I will not approve of action taken against people who hold a set of beliefs just because the beliefs are certifiably terrible. I will always condemn the actions taken, instead.

2018-08-31 21:32:39 UTC  

```@Stefan Payne I can agree with that. But then it would include things like nationalism or hobbies.```
Hobbies not neccesarily, but that's exactly my point that people look for something to believe in and if you remove religion, there is a void that has to be filled somehow.

2018-08-31 21:32:41 UTC  

Militant atheist should be an absurdist term.

2018-08-31 21:32:47 UTC  

It's like the neutral people.

2018-08-31 21:32:59 UTC  

It's funny because it contradicts IMMEDIATELY

2018-08-31 21:33:11 UTC  

Not necesarily.

2018-08-31 21:33:18 UTC  

Militant atheists exist...

2018-08-31 21:33:20 UTC  

Lacking belief is not something you can get aggressive about. Insisting other people not believe in THEIR shit, is. And there's a word for that. A different word. ANTI-THEIST.

2018-08-31 21:33:22 UTC  

ANTI.

2018-08-31 21:33:23 UTC  

And the worst things that could fill this Religios Void is Intersectional Feminism, Marxism, the Religion of Social Justice or Political Partys.

2018-08-31 21:33:23 UTC  

THEIST.

2018-08-31 21:33:25 UTC  

LEARN IT.

2018-08-31 21:33:30 UTC  

But sadly we have to deal with them.

2018-08-31 21:33:32 UTC  

**LEARN IT**

2018-08-31 21:33:35 UTC  

You're making the assumption that *all* people need something to fill their spiritual hole. Not all people are the same

2018-08-31 21:33:39 UTC  

@Khanclansith ya thats my problem, i suppose its worthwhile to preface 'Militant Athieist', they are no more athieist , but like to somehow pretend they are and want to demand people bend to them

2018-08-31 21:33:58 UTC  

*they have seen the light*

2018-08-31 21:33:59 UTC  

Sched, I think most people do.

2018-08-31 21:34:03 UTC  

ANTI-THEIST YOU THICK FUCK.

2018-08-31 21:34:03 UTC  

it all ends up sounding religious

2018-08-31 21:34:04 UTC  

"The English word militant is both an adjective and a noun, and is generally used to mean vigorously active, combative and aggressive, especially in support of a cause"

2018-08-31 21:34:08 UTC  

SAY IT.

2018-08-31 21:34:23 UTC  

militant atheist

2018-08-31 21:34:23 UTC  

@Scribblehatch We use the word "militant Christian" to refer to people who go around proselytizing all the time and trying to ban any displays that offend their religious sensibilities. It is only logical to extend that to atheists to proselytize and file lawsuits anytime someone says "god" or puts up a 10 commandments display.

2018-08-31 21:34:35 UTC  

They believe in something, for fuck sake.

2018-08-31 21:34:39 UTC  

But then again, as long as these Atheists are just assholes that are ranting in front of a camera, I don't really have a Problem with it.

But if they start killing believers, I do.

2018-08-31 21:34:40 UTC  

Angry Militants of any stripe are always a problem

2018-08-31 21:34:43 UTC  

Atheist is just too goddamn broad.

2018-08-31 21:34:51 UTC  

After I stepped away from the church, I spent years coming to terms with concepts of infinity and the finite span we live in.

2018-08-31 21:34:53 UTC  

@Scribblehatch hey you, calm down

2018-08-31 21:35:00 UTC  

The only detail you know about an atheist is lack of belief in a deity.

2018-08-31 21:35:08 UTC  

Agreec.

2018-08-31 21:35:09 UTC  

"This animal... has eyes."

2018-08-31 21:35:14 UTC  

i think you are confused

2018-08-31 21:35:16 UTC  

which is why "militant atheist" has value

2018-08-31 21:35:16 UTC  

Militant atheist is specific, like radical Islam

2018-08-31 21:35:18 UTC  

Whoa fuck that vicious animal.

2018-08-31 21:35:19 UTC  

Eyes?!

2018-08-31 21:35:26 UTC  

What kinda fuckin beast has eyes.

2018-08-31 21:35:37 UTC  

Yeah, I think it can be a useful term. You can be anti-theistic without being militant about it.
