Atheists, are you all afraid of a few little words?

Question

Sure looks like it.

There is some crybaby atheists that are afraid of the words "Atheists In Misery". Now I can not post my questions anymore. Can dish it out but can not take it. I knew all the time

Sure they did "Fangs" you are probabaly the one that did it.

Oh well,i made my point. Atheists are In Misery.

Answer 1

I'm afraid of sticks and stones! I don't care how much children dismiss the concept; broken bones hurt!



Oh, and what words? I can make up non-sequitur questions with no meaning too. Aren't you happy with that color?

Edit: "Atheists in Misery"? I'm not sure that atheists are afraid of those words. If you were to call an atheist miserable, he might take offense if the statement is not true. Would you take offense if someone said, "Christian/Jew/Muslim in Misery" if you were not really miserable? Or at least think the person was lying/misinformed/deluded? In any case, I don't think anyone fears hearing the word, "Misery."

Edit: You did indeed make your point, Eloy. You have shown us all just how miserable you must be in order to pick on atheists who have never harmed you. I'm just glad that this one little selfish act of hatred has given you some modicum of pleasure.

Answer 2

Like the word misery? No.

Answer 3

What words might those be?

Most of what I hear coming out of many of the Christians and Muslims bent on conversion is funny to me. What's to be afraid of, a few laughs?

Answer 4

"If I do not want what you want, please try not to tell me that my want is wrong.

Or if I believe other than you, at least pause before you correct my view.

Or if my emotion is less than yours, or more, given the same circumstances, try not to ask me to feel more strongly or weakly.

Or yet if I act, or fail to act, in the manner of your design for action, let me be.

I do not, for the moment at least, ask you to understand me. That will come only when you are willing to give up changing me into a copy of you.

I may be your spouse, your parent, your offspring, your friend, or your colleague. If you will allow me any of my own wants, or emotions, or beliefs, or actions, then you open yourself, so that some day these ways of mine might not seem so wrong, and might finally appear to you as right -- for me. To put up with me is the first step to understanding me. Not that you embrace my ways as right for you, but that you are no longer irritated or disappointed with me for my seeming waywardness. And in understanding me you might come to prize my differences from you, and, far from seeking to change me, preserve and even nurture those differences."

Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away. —Henry David Thoreau

Answer 5

And what words might those be?

I would guess any atheist would suggest you believe whatever you wish... It if comforts you, and makes you a better person, believe the moon is made of green cheese.

But please allow every one else to believe as they want, as well, including the freedom to believe in no religion whatever.

Answer 6

Is there a point to this question? Are there any particular little words that you're suggesting I'm afraid of?

Answer 7

Which ones?

"Burn the witch"

"Gays are diseased"

"Kill the Infidels"

"Know a woman's place"

"Hang the Hindu!"

"Kneecap the Protestant!"

"Nuke the R*gheads*

"Burn that book!"

"Keep science out of schools!"

need I go on...?

Answer 8

I'm more afraid of fundamentalist legislation.

Apparently you can't take the fact that we're not as miserable as you. Must suck to see people you hate so happy.

Answer 9

which words? I'm only scared of words like 'BOO' when shouted at me in the dark by a axe wielding murderer, but that has nothing to do with my atheism.

Answer 10

Nope. I'm worried about how certain concepts can shape society and cause more pain and intolerrance than the good that they do.
