let me begin by telling you that i am an ex muslim now turned atheist right. In a train i once met a another atheist and we started discussing the meaning of god and when i told him that i dont believe in any external god, and that the idea of god has to be a humane philosophy which emanates from the human heart ( similar to the god of voltaire and john stewart mill) this atheist got very angry, and attacked me for not been properly religious.
i then told him that i am not religious at all. He got even more angry. do you know why?
Because he wanted me to go on parroting the same old boring stuff about god that islam and other religions teach me. when i told him about a different god of humanism that i meet in buddha, jesus, tolestoy, voltaire, hume he was annoyed.
what do you make of this atheist who attacked another atheist for not been properly religious?
lol

Atheists are most impatient and irrational in their behaviour. The only remedy is to start having faith in the existence of God whose grace can do miracles in their conduct and character.

You are making this up. Nobody happens to meet an atheist on the train. "Hi, my name's Gary. I'm an atheist, how about you?" It just doesn't go like that.
It's about as likely as someone saying "Hi, my name's Gary. I'm gay, how about you?"
Given that you made it up, this is probably just a stab at atheists. And you are obviously not an atheist as atheism denotes lack of belief in gods, which you obviously do not.
Note: I'm not attacking you at all for claiming anything, I'm just saying you're lying.

Sounds like he's not being properly atheist. Just because you don't believe in God doesn't mean you're immoral, or that you believe in nothing at all.

Seems like you made him think out of the box which was uncomfortable for him.
Doesn't apply to most Atheists as you should know.

That the atheist is a blowhard who is off his meds either that or he is wrestling with his atheism ( get on him for not be properly atheist!!). A true atheist probably would not care.

Sadly, many atheists are as hypocritical as the religious fanatics that they despise!

I don't really care what that guy thinks. I wish people could just respect one another, including their beliefs.
