Atheism is just so...dull.

Not at all like stimulating and exciting Sunday Mass!

So Dull

It occurred to me the other day that one of the things that is so unattractive about atheism is that it is well, just so dead boring.
It really is just such a yawn.

I’m sure there are some fascinatingly fun atheists out there, but I have yet to meet one.

I'm trying to decide if I want to compose a reply, or if the whole article is just so well, childish, that I should just ignore it.

You can't out-troll a troll. Every reply just feeds him more.

Wow, that is so insightful.

That tomato fight they mention, it's in a book I own about 101 places to get fucked up before you die. Nothing in that article mentions having to be religious to go there and throw tomatoes at each other.
Just like 'we' have Christmas, also. But 'we' don't get upset if little Johnny adds zebras and red panda figures to the nativity scene on the mantel.

GUYS, WHAT CAN WE DO TO SPICE UP ATHEISM A BIT? SERIOUSLY, WE NEED TO THINK OF SOMETHING!

 

[Keith&Co.]

Hats.

Jews have yarmulkes to show their humility before god.

We can have a sombrero that lights up, and shines laser 'fuck you' messages up into the sky. Because we're not afraid of no skybeastes.

He forgot to mention that we eat babies!

PS -- for truly dull, try a Shinto ritual or an Episcopalian service. If I never experience either of those again, I will die a happy man.

A bit of dancing around the campfire under the full moon whilst scantily clad and drinking mysterious beverages, naturally brewed, should attract some new converts.

Oh yes, I'd forgotten about the Church of the FSM.

I imagine it is more "fun" to live in the land of make believe 24/7 instead of reality...in the same way I had more pound for pound fun as a 6 year old tying a towel around my neck and professing to the world I was Batman.

Of course, you knew you were playing make-believe...

He did get one thing right, though. Atheism IS nothing but negation.

Do you tithe? No.
Do you fear your afterlife disposition? No.
Are you afraid of naughty words? No.
...naughty sexual acts? No.
...naughty birth control? No.
Do you think the end days are near? No.
Do you prefer talking snakes to random selection? No.
Would you stone a man because some days of the week are different? No.

It's just no's, all the way down.

the 50s pop song, "Hearts of Stone" has a nasty nice refrain made up mostly of sequential "no's". Then there's John Lennon's "Imagine"--a lot of "no's" there too.

Yeah, we need to start entertaining ourselves the way religious people do, but spreading hate, intolerance, anti-human shame for natural acts, and committing genocide.

I mean once you do away with things as exciting as church sermons, unimaginative 2000 year old stories told over and over, and believing whatever you're told, what is left to get you out of bed? How can being free to constantly update your ideas based on new information compete with the thrill of blind certainty in unquestionable truths?

You're giving me way too much credit there

Also, we are not making excuses for Josh Duggar's acts of child molestation, which proves that we are persecuting Christians. We're not just boring, we're really mean!
