Those Atheists!

Today I will tackle some of the stereotypes that atheists are subjugated to. There are a lot of them. Most of them are completely stupid and anyone that is slightly correct is because of circumstances.


“atheists are immoral people!”

no we are not. You may think that morality comes from god. But it does not as god does not exist. Morality comes from were you live, you learn that particular behaviour is acceptable and that other behaviour is not acceptable within the culture that you live. This happens weather god is or is not involved. Oh and atheists don't fly plains into buildings, atheists don't hang people, atheists don't kill UN workers because someone half the world away burned there holy book.


“Atheists hate god”

no we don't. God is not real, I hate god as much as I hate darth vader, yoda or pikachu. Simpily because we say that the actions of god are immoral does not mean we hate him. I think the actions of darth vader are immoral but I done hate him. I actually think darth vader is kind of cool.


“are liberal by nature.”

this one is slightly true. But it is because of circumstance. We why would we be conservative, we live in a world witch is highly religious. Why would we conserve a world that directly contradicts our beliefs.


“Atheists don't know anything about religion”

Actually most people don't decide to be atheists for no reason. We usually study a lot into religion and than decide its stupid.


“Hitler was an atheist”

no he wasn't. Hitler was a roman catholic. He mentioned this many times in his book. He issued public prayers and he shut down the German free thinkers league the countries largest atheist community, he turned there hall into a church.


“all atheists are fat”

this is just stupid. Look at Richard dawkins, Thunderf00t, or Cristina Rad there all thin. This is obviously a cheap shot but sadly people do believe it.


“there is no such thing as an atheist. They just say that they do not believe in god so they can sin.”

this is so crazy! It is not true, there are atheists and we don’t say we are so we can sin. If we thought we were actually going to go to hell, why would we sin? If an atheist speaks out he or she does it because they feel a moral reason to do so.
