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.
```@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.
Militant atheist should be an absurdist term.
It's like the neutral people.
It's funny because it contradicts IMMEDIATELY
Not necesarily.
Militant atheists exist...
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.
ANTI.
And the worst things that could fill this Religios Void is Intersectional Feminism, Marxism, the Religion of Social Justice or Political Partys.
THEIST.
LEARN IT.
But sadly we have to deal with them.
**LEARN IT**
You're making the assumption that *all* people need something to fill their spiritual hole. Not all people are the same
@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
*they have seen the light*
Sched, I think most people do.
ANTI-THEIST YOU THICK FUCK.
"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"
SAY IT.
militant atheist
@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.
They believe in something, for fuck sake.
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.
Angry Militants of any stripe are always a problem
Atheist is just too goddamn broad.
After I stepped away from the church, I spent years coming to terms with concepts of infinity and the finite span we live in.
@Scribblehatch hey you, calm down
The only detail you know about an atheist is lack of belief in a deity.
Agreec.
"This animal... has eyes."
i think you are confused
which is why "militant atheist" has value
Militant atheist is specific, like radical Islam
Whoa fuck that vicious animal.
Eyes?!
What kinda fuckin beast has eyes.
Yeah, I think it can be a useful term. You can be anti-theistic without being militant about it.
