Atheists

Me. I've unfriended someone because their heavily religious profile wasn't viewable until after we were friends. I'm not against those of religious backgrounds, but there's only so much thanking of god & whatnot I can handle reading.

Some call me an atheist but I'm closer to agnostic. I posted a sarcastic bit from George Carlin a couple days ago and it got removed. They said it probably would not have been removed if it was in the "Chit Chat" forum.

I did notice someone had their "christian" post removed today. Not sure if MFP removed it though.

It's all good though. I would never complain about anyone expressing their beliefs in here.

I wonder if this thread will get locked.

Feel free to add me (Happy atheist here)

I am!

Happy for other atheists and agnostics to friend me! Gotta admit im turned off accepting a friend request when Jesus is mentioned on their profile as an inspiration.

Hell yes!

Hey...I'm not only an atheist, I'm also a pro-choice, gay marriage backing socialist. In short, I'm guaranteed to piss off a good 3/4 of the population merely by breathing ;-)

I'm Atheist now, though I didn't used to be, and sometimes I wish I wasn't. But after the things I've seen, both in my life and the lives of loved ones, I can't believe in any higher power right now.

I miss the feeling of comfort it gave me, though, to have faith. I am almost jealous of those who are still able to follow blindly in their religion, without being deterred by the hypocrisy of most churches. It's a great social group, and when I lost my mother, even though that was part of the reason I lost my faith in the first place, I wouldn't have survived the aftermath of her death without my youth pastor and others from my church. I may disagree with the Church as an institution, but I cannot say that an individual is wrong, delusional, or naive to have faith. I just probably won't ever have it myself again.

One thing I've found about the average atheist/agnostic......we don't seem to have a NEED to have other atheists around us.

Agreed, cuz die-hard Atheists can be just as annoying as any other religious fanatic. :P

I'm an agnostic atheist/secular humanist. I don't believe that there is a higher being out there but I admit I don't know. I do believe that you cannot expect others to direct their lives according to your faith unless you have proof. I believe in the power of people acting at their very best to conduct themselves with good will and sensitivity and altruism towards others.

I'm so glad that when a horrible tragedy strikes, such as the massacre of children, that I don't have to argue it was "God's plan."

Me me me!

Start a 'looking for Christian' friends thread and you'll flush out all the atheists.

What you did there. I see it.

:flowerforyou:

I'm a happy atheist too. Only joined MFP a couple of days ago and very quickly almost left after seeing so many references to god. I find it all very strange.

I believe in being accountable for yourself and thats it. No god to copout to, add me
