100% agree with BoardsOfCanada.
Note: Atheism, agnosticism are all religions ( or religious thinking disguised as reasoning ); no less fanatic than the ones their adherents so fervently ridicule.
- mock-possum 6mo agoNo, you’re wrong - Atheism is the opposite of religion - it’s disbelief, not belief. This whole “well actually atheism is just another kind of religion” thing is why I begrudgingly have started to prefer describing myself as ‘irreligious,’ just so that there is absolutely no opportunity for equivocation.
- I011010011 5mo agoAs Mikhail_Edoshin pointed out precisely in the comment below. Religious thinking has certain common characteristics. For example, you go to length to defend Atheism is a sort of X negating a Y etc, that's emotional investment indicating religious adherence and sincere belief in being right. I, from time to time, suffer from this too. It's very indication that I'm likely being misguided by myself or ideas.
- Mikhail_Edoshin 6mo agoFalse religions are all fanatic; they are narcissistic pseudo religions, stemming from the desire to be right.
- BoardsOfCanada 5mo agoWear the downvotes as a badge of honor.
- I011010011 5mo agoLol, indeed BoardsOfCanada :). I didn't know one could downvote. Anyway, Aggressively downvoting indicates religious/religious-like fanaticism, the problem is pervasive.
