Which is deliciously ironic considering how much non-theists enjoy mocking theists "for their 'irrational' thinking".
- orwin 3y agoI don't think most atheist care, really. Most atheist are agnostics who decided they will not arbiter if one religion is more right than other, at least that's my case and most atheist I've discussed with. I like rites (catholic funeral and Muslim marriage would be my perfect combo) and I enjoy talking spirituality and belief systems with people who believe in one more god than I do. I think Shintoism led to the most interesting discussions in general, but Jehovah's witnesses are the most consistent ones (also I always take so much of their time and they're too polite to tell me to stuff it, I always feel bad after).
- jacquesm 3y agoI don't think Jehovah's witnesses get to claim consistency. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eschatology_of_Jehovah%27s_Witnesses#History_of_eschatology https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eschatology_of_Jehovah%27s_Wit... In fact, consistency is their major weak point.
