What’s with the deal with all the unconstructive Atheists around these days?

Question

All you guys seem to do is biatch and moan with well worn quotes that you probably got from some other Atheists ranting and get your kicks from getting thumbs up from your fellow rebellious nonconformist buddies. If you’re not careful, you might end up like this guy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tiqZaFkpH9E There’s even a guy here in this place going mad copying and pasting the same rant in which he compares Atheists to fundamentalist religious nuts. At first glance, I thought it was just another religious based attack on heathens, but he actually has a point. Who else thinks it’s time for Atheists to put up, or shut up?

Answer 1

WITH YOU ALL THE WAY!!!!!!
They're so busy arguing their point that by the time they get done--if they ever do--there's no time left for anything else!

And to the chick who commented before me, we're just using our freedom of speech, too.

Answer 2

Go to it . But there is no definitive constructionist plan inherent in the idea of atheism . what you want is morality if I'm not mistaken and for every fanatic atheist you will no doubt find a thousand worse religious fanatics out killing each other . My advise is extricate yourself from the self effacing contest and live a good kind life helping others rather than trying to hurt them. Even the rehashed ideas of the Christ said not to judge but to admonish.
good luck and peaceout

Answer 3

Calm down, my friend. Be aware that there are just as many religious folks attacking atheists as there are atheists "biatching" and moaning. We find quotes from respectable sources to back up our claims just like you use your bible.

I have no idea which came first, but there is guilt on both sides of the persecution wall.

Answer 4

That angry little man is classic. Atheists need to clean up their own house before they insult ours. Sure some Christians dont know what they are talking about. Some don't practice what they preach (I'm guilty of this too, I'm a sinner). But, when a question is asked its my responsibility to answer from Gods word, even if I am guilty by it.

I've asked reasonable questions where I truly am looking for opinions or answers, and over 50% of atheist answer in some insulting mannor. Either capitalizing on a typo, calling me names, or calling the bible a fairy tale.

Answer 5

Put up what?

Facts, evidence, rational argument?

We do that everyday, but the deluded don't recognize that as valid. If you place more value in blind faith based on the mistranslated scribblings of a bronze age philosopher than on inductive reasoning and the pure objectivity of the scientific method, then there is nothing I can put up that will convince you...Yet we still try.

Answer 6

You really don't need to do this. It serves no purpose and it does no good. Unless they ask something of us, ignore them. If their questions are not truly inquisitive in nature, but instead hint of sarcasm and venom, don't waste your time. Flaming and trolling are common practices in all discussion forums. Very little of the discourse is constructive or honest. It is a reflection of the participants.

Answer 7

Unconstructive?

Answer 8

Pot.

Kettle.

Black?

Seriously though, most of the time I try to be constructive. It can be tiring answering the same questions over and over again.

How can I turn this answer into an expression of Pascal's Wager?

Answer 9

Put up what? Why don't you put up some proof in your god? I gave a question with a quote, but i just happened to find it online and thought it was interesting. And right now you seem to be whining and moaning and bitching a great deal.

Answer 10

Thank you constructive theist for showing me the error of your ways.
