**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.
it all ends up sounding religious
"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."
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.
Belief in nothing, by the way, is nihilism.
And fuck nihilists.
Back to topic:
The Important thing is what the Religion is about and for.
They're shit.
If you distinguish the atheists who go around harassing anyone wearing a cross or a sickle and star from the ones who just let everyone live in peace, you can start distinguishing the many forms of atheists.
If it is World Domination, could we agree that that's a bad thing?
Militant Nihlism is also a problem
I say you need to have a philosophy and I stand by that.
Nihilism is against me.
I don't think people are aguing against that.

What if the world we're dominating is mars? Because I'd like to dominate that
Nihilism is merely the rejection of codified ethics systems, such that the individual is responsible for their own moral code and goals
