    That anyone outside of the US or the middle east even gives a fuck whether you’re an atheist or not

    That’s weird guys come on

    We don’t know right from wrong because we don’t fear retribution from an almighty.

      I had a coworker a few years ago who was seriously confused how I maintained morality without an imaginary friend threatening to fuck me up for all eternity. Like, he genuinely struggled to compute how it was possible for me to go around not raping and killing people as an atheist, to the extent that the guy was clearly wary around me going forward from that point. Very strange dude. Also weirdly enthusiastic about competitive pistol shooting.

      I’m an atheist, so I get to rape and murder as much as I want. It just happens that that amount is zero.

      I’m also kind to others, purely because doing so makes me feel good. If it also builds up “karma credits” with others, that’s just a nice fringe benefit.

    No morality. Eat children. Sleep with your partner when you’re stuck in traffic. The source of all evil. Can’t be trusted. Are always miserable.

    Basically everything religious folks really are under the mask they wear.
