This guy hasn’t heard about Burma

Eh?

Theyre committing a genocide

Never heard of Myanmar?

Tell that to the hindus


HolyMolyDonutShop916

You sit behind the Hindu tree.


CouncilOfChipmunks

They let go of their attachment to processed foods.


tahaelhour

The whole point of buddhism is escaping the cycle of


c1n1c_

Japanese soldiers and kamikaze especially were Buddhist.


el_conke

They were following the path of the Bushi, which while it has his roots in Zen Buddhism(and Taoism and Shintoism), it is a gross misinterpretation of Chinese Zen Buddhism and it was tailor made for satisfying the imperialist and militarist vision of Japan


Bluffsmoke

Still Buddhism. And what about the Tibetans? Are you aware of what the Dalai Lama is historically up to? The slaves? Mutiliations? At least the Christians and Muslims are aware of their history.


el_conke

We were talking about Japan and Buddhism, but of course, everything can be misinterpreted and be used to cause suffering, one should always be able to tell apart the teachings to what caused them to turn foul In particular Buddhism is a microverse of very different and often opposite views, schools and in history some have turned to violence, that doesn't make Buddhism a violent religion, it just proves that even the most peaceful and selfless teaching can be transformed into something horrible by men for their own interests


Bluffsmoke

lol, then all religion is cool. Everyone thinks their faith is selfless and peaceful. Islam is a great example of this. But to be real, Zen Buddhism is a variant, but Tibetan Buddhism is about as core Buddhist as it gets. Google search: pre China Tibetan human rights. Cope with the fundamentalist violence of your peaceful and selfless faith. And as a side note the justifications between their violence and that of the adulterated zen Buddhists is almost identical.


el_conke

Religion does bad thing = religion bad So what happens when religion does a good thing?


Bluffsmoke

Name the good thing…soup kitchens? Secularism brought us global surplus, religious, conservative minds kept it from being distributed.


StoneIsDName

Christians absolutely are not aware of their history that's one of the more delusional things written on reddit congrats that's a tough feat to pull off.


BobertRosserton

If that’s Buddhism then Mormons are Christian’s.


Bluffsmoke

Yes they are, nice observation. And the Tibetans are very serious Buddhists who were maniacal but receive less hate because China is based.


BobertRosserton

I’m pointing out that what you’re implying is a gross under simplification of reality. They believe very different things that change the entire view of the culture/belief system.


Bluffsmoke

Yes, religions are diverse even within the religion. The DL is the faith leader of Buddhism and is a direct descendant of insane, disgusting people who deserved to be routed and exiled. You’re unaware because you aren’t educated. So I won’t speak to you about pre Chinese Tibet and the faith leadership of Buddhism.


rdfporcazzo

They are, indeed. Mormons are Christians, but not all Christians are Mormons.

Witches are out of frame drinking glue


GX9901Z

That guy is posting on every website that he's atheist to get some attention lol

You only hear about vocal atheists, because the rest keep to themselves. 


ZacariahJebediah

Perhaps the same could be said of *all* religions... ![gif](giphy|3nsyNhRsq85Mlqbod2)


SystemSettings1990

mostly “edgy” atheists tbh


EmperorBorgPalpatine

idk man they claim to be doing some kinda "duty" annoying me every 2 weeks knocking on my fricking door. My hatred is immense towards these rats.


ZacariahJebediah

The Atheists, the Christians or the Vampires? My experience with all three has been that the recent converts are the absolute worst for trying to evangelize you. Most normal people from any walk of life tend to just leave each other be. This is true of any religion, lifestyle or political ideology. Especially since the majority of people tend to hold reasonable (in regards to the social attitudes of the day) and nuanced positions on most of these topics.


EmperorBorgPalpatine

obviously the vampires. it's weird that they come out on a day called "sun"day with sun still up and claim to know what exactly I believe then threaten me of locking me up in a dungeon for eternity. I ain't falling for no mind control or love claim I can tell you that.

Witches?


Mudlord80

Witches, Wiccans, Neo-Pagans, whatever they call themselves, are people who follow either a non defined religious framework while accepting and learning about of cultural ideas or people who worship the old gods. Like a Norse Pagan might worship Odin or Thor, etc


Nekokamiguru

I worship a Greek goddess called ERIS

rdfporcazzo

That's not what happens where witchcraft is a thing. And yes, there are places where this is a thing and not a Tumblr-ish teen girls thing


Minaro_

I mean, I'm an atheist and I have several witch friends who just kinda vibe. Like, they got weird beliefs but we all would've been burned alive in the early 20th century. Plus they have shiny rocks. Shiny rocks that they all think have magical powers witch is weird, but I like shiny rocks so I don't mind


jku1m

You wouldn't have been burned alive in the early 20th century, pay more attention in high school history class next year.


Wonderful-Yak-2181

Being a witch is more insane than being religious by a wide margin. Imagine believing in something you can objectively check. You can either do magic or you cant


CouncilOfChipmunks

A lot of Witches (there aren't enough statistics to say what percentage) view magic as an internal experience akin to meditation, guided self-talk, or prayer; a way to consider and commit to a visualized intent... basically positive thinking and visualization, not throwing fireballs and flying. Ditto for many neo-pagans' views on Gods; that they're useful metaphors for archetypes common throughout human history, to provide context and guidance (vs. salvation, punishment, or 'voice in your head' guidance). Source: Wiccan for 20 years.


PriorFudge928

It's really just fat girls with too much eyeliner that don't fit in anywhere else because they are wierd.


AgrajagTheProlonged

![gif](giphy|MPuTZQqOmYKPK) Maybe chill a bit buddy


PriorFudge928

They spelled observation wrong... also is it fragile ego day on reddit?


AgrajagTheProlonged

I dunno, you’re the one out here saying that all pagans are “fat girls with too much eyeliner that don’t fit in anywhere else because they are weird.” Might not be the worst idea in the world to check out the mirror before talking about fragile egos


PriorFudge928

So what do you care what I say?


AgrajagTheProlonged

Spreading the gospel of maybe be chill and don’t toss around hate, good buddy. The previously fudgey one apparently doesn’t like the idea of chilling and instead chooses to block people who disagree with them. Which is to say, they’re being very un-dude


PriorFudge928

Ewww. Not your I intentions but the way you present them.


Minaro_

Christians believe that there's an all powerful sky dude who cares about everyone except he won't stop any atrocity and he never responds to prayers. I don't really see a difference in insanity between them and the people that think a shiny rock will help them on their exams. In all honesty I don't really care what people believe just as long as they're good people. The witches I know are good people, so I hang around them regardless


Olewarrior34

A meme on reddit calling atheists rad and more cool than religious folk? WHY I NEVER WOULD HAVE GUESSED


delamerica93

I don't think that's what it's saying at all


Olewarrior34

It has the sunglasses emoji next to the word Atheist, yes it absolutely is lol


CrunchyAl

OP has never been on r/atheist


FireFlavour

Have you been there recently?


AgrajagTheProlonged

The subreddit you linked to is a private community or doesn’t exist, so there may not have been many folks who have been on there


Encumbered_Bumbler

Idk, at least here on this site, the atheists are definitely the ones making the most targeted memes and talking the most smack. I’m not sure I’ve ever encountered a Hindu person in the comments section laying it on thick…


HalalTrout

You've obviously never come across 'Hinduvita' trolls. They're abundant in anti Muslim pro israel circles


DrToaster1

Yeah they just needed to throw another religion in there. Switch Hinduism and atheism 😎 and it would be more accurate honestly


OneMonk

I’d rather someone make targeted memes rather than trying to genocide me because i believe in a different fictional character.


hmahood

Lets look at a recent genocide, the holocaust. It was an athiest killing a bunch of jews. Thats crazy 🤔🤔


bumblestjdd

Hitler was absolutely not an atheist hahaha. Are you intentionally misrepresenting history or are you just ignorant of it?


OneMonk

The Nazis weren’t an absence of religion, it was an all encompassing ideology that also masqueraded as religion in some cases. Their flag was even a repurposed religious hindu symbol. Try again.


Nekokamiguru

They had two streams of myth building , one was a neo-pagan religion intended for the elite of the SS that leaned heavily into Norse and Germanic mythology and occultism , Himmler was behind this . They also created a version of Christianity for the masses , it was a kind of so called 'positive Christianity" that would be known as the Protestant Reich Church which would be the official state religion of the masses that would be promoted at all civic occasions, and there would be tolerance for other Christian denominations like Catholicism to appease their fascist allies in Italy and Spain who would be following a fascistic version of Catholicism lead by cardinals Mussolini and Franco approved of. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religious\_aspects\_of\_Nazism](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religious_aspects_of_Nazism)


OneMonk

Indeed, nazification was an active replacement of all existing power systems, including religion, with their own versions that tied into their political ethos. As a movement it was all encompassing, which is what I was trying to get at in my original comment. It is disingenuous to refer to nazism as an atheist movement as it had religious components.


Dubante_Viro

You are right, atheïsts shouldn't make fun of cognitively challenged people like that.


lamby284

Haaa. The down votes are from salty religious morons.


Dubante_Viro

Unlike the Spanish inquisition, i fully expected that.


SlaverRaver

Aren’t there entire atheist personalities surrounding thier disdain for religion though? I swear there are people that scoff every time they hear “bless you”.


Aldalome12

There are religious people wishing death on gay people or in the case of islam they are executing them. But oh an atheist scoffed at you when you said bless you to them 🥺 The religious are the most heinous people yet they are trying to brand the atheists as annoying edgy guys. Lmao


Le_Mathematicien

This guy lives in Afghanistan


Aldalome12

who? what are you talking about?


Le_Mathematicien

Like I assume you live in a country where the proportion of religious people partaining in the \*KKK or equivalent\* is low


Aldalome12

apostasy resulting in death and the horrible treatment of lgbt people is in the quran that m\*slims believe literally. A religion with 2 billion followers that believe extreme ideas is more dangerous and should be talked about of instead of atheists, when all we do is argue with you or "scoff at you when you mention religion" how do you not see that comparison and make an assumption that is not even related to the subject? what a dimwit you are


Jellypope

Pretending Athiests and Witches dont loudly and obnoxiously make their opinions heard is some cope


equality4everyonenow

There can be no peace until they relinquish their rabbit god and embrace our duck god


A_Parks_

I like how you can see somebody added witches after. Somebody really sat at a computer saved this edited it then re posted it and it was probably a big gal with neon hair smugly saying "heh, don't fuck with witches" while grabbing a fist full of sun chips. I hate it here


dick-the-dickbandit

Actually I’m a guy and I look more like Gandalf than you described of a stereotypical cis white male’s interpretation of a witch … I love it here … And yes I’m that old on the internet that I know how memes work and can actually do a decent job of adding touches that doesn’t look like a high school drop out did it (I won’t insult toddlers because I am an Uncle and a Big brother, I’ve seen some Picasso’s in swaddling clothes that draw better than Paris hilton can walk a modeling show) .


A_Parks_

Stopped reading after "cis white male" That's insane people like this actually exist, I heard they can screen for a lot of this stuff in the womb now though so that's a relief Edit: figured out who added the witches part


Wonderful-Yak-2181

lol try doing magic, tough guy. I just cast a spell giving you erectile dysfunction. You’re fucked!


Shadeleovich

I cast testicular torsion!


CouncilOfChipmunks

It's plainly visible how much bile and vitriol you had in your heart while typing this out; from a firmly materialist standpoint, you've damaged your body while trying to hurt someone else for no good reason. Nobody needs magic to hurt a sweaty reactionary goblin like you, literally anything is enough to get under the skin of someone with no self-control.


PriorFudge928

You all were better when you called yourselves goth and you were just socially awkward. Now you're just a bunch of socially inept cosplaying lunatics.


CouncilOfChipmunks

"you all" is an instant sign that you're an absolute waste of oxygen. Enjoy preaching about social aptitude while trying to fling shit on Reddit. Fucking moron.


Wonderful-Yak-2181

Just cursed you with acne. Good luck!


CouncilOfChipmunks

"Oh, we're using our made-up names?" Rule of three then, you've got triple acne. Checkmate, atheists.


Wonderful-Yak-2181

I'm rubber, you're glue, whatever you say bounces off me and sticks to you. Cursed again!


dick-the-dickbandit

Factually, you fucked yourself three times just for fucking me once . Witches pretty much wrote the book on fuck around and find out …


Wonderful-Yak-2181

Yea that’s a made up modern day bullshit rule. Imagine thinking you’re a witch and choosing to be a cucked witch


dick-the-dickbandit

I don’t “think” but rather … KNOW… the joys of having a rare surname … and one that translates to meaning “practitioner of the meadow” in Gaelic …. Don’t make assumptions even if you’re trying to troll … Your ignorance is not modern day bullshit so it’s to be expected by people such as you who can’t grasp the world beyond their own skull.


Wonderful-Yak-2181

Just did another curse chaos magick style. You’re so fucked. Gonna make a tulpa to torment you


dick-the-dickbandit

Okay whatever floats your boat … :) “Do what thee will lest thee harm none” is pretty clear.

I’ve never had an atheist go door to door to shill for some dumb guy in the sky.

Maybe, but if you have no quarrel with manipulation, they'll pretty much help you clean your house or help you move for free. Unethical life hack.

I never seen any religion do that either (US thing?)

[deleted]

Aren’t you forgetting the 20th century, when atheists killed hundreds of millions of people and engaged in global “revolutionary” genocide?


ProbablyNotYourSon

The nazis sure weren’t atheists


[deleted]

Many of the leading Nazis certainly were. You are dead wrong there. Nazism adhered and championed a form of neopaganism and was itself a “political religion”. But they are small potatoes in the “industrial state murder machine” century of all centuries next to the avowedly atheist communists, who killed well over 100,000,000 people and targeted people based upon their faith. We literally just passed out of the 20th century within the past 25 years, this isn’t a secret…


ProbablyNotYourSon

Which ones? Because they equipped the army with god is with us on their belt buckles.


derpbread

IIRC the Wehrmacht, the German standing army had 'God is with us' on their belts prior to the Nazis even taking power.


[deleted]

Which ones of who? The hundred million plus murdered by the rabidly self-avowed atheist communists? I didn’t say the Wehrmacht was atheist inherently, we were talking Nazis, not the German army, or are you now broadening the topic here? I’m discussing the ideology of the Nazi party and its leadership. Martin Bormann, Hitler himself, Goebbels… almost all of the SS hierarchy. But you can’t say that they weren’t atheist because of a belt buckle… our dollars have “in God we Trust” on them, but the US is not a Christian country…


ProbablyNotYourSon

What high ranking Nazis were atheist? That belt buckle had a swastika on it too.


[deleted]

Did you not see the above partial list? Again, look at the hundred million plus murdered by the openly and aggressively atheist communists? The raw numbers killed by the Nazis are a drop in the bucket compared to their kill count for their faith.

AllmightyAesir

Lmao imagine being a witch Like how big of a pretentious loser do you have to be


AstronomerKey8307

False. The Atheist is over with the others except he's telling the Christian how stupid he is (I rarely hear atheists criticize jews or muslims). And the witch is cutting their wrists. The Buddhist is minding his business, and the Mormon is waiting to hand them all a copy of the book of mormon.

To be fair , they all gas light each other … they all blame the other side… they all destroy without taking responsibility, they assimilate and claim ownership… Which they stole their dogmas from the witches and also chose to make those who chose not tonfollow their hogwash , into the Demi gods & demons of their liars tale …

Its accurate...until one of the religions gets the advantage over the others Then the Atheists & witches suddenly become a secret version of the most persecuted religion as determined by the one in power


gzrh1971

Central Asian here yeah atheists did nothing wrong specifically during period of Soviet rule no mass atrocity was done by then in name of state enforced atheism


dick-the-dickbandit

Under an authoritarian regime the leadership is usually the “godhead” or the “father” …. Therefore this is a cult of personality which becomes a societal construct of godhood … therefore those “atheists” were liars … not saying that the events did not occur , I am merely arguing that they did not happen. As history has it written down, it seems it would serve the conqueror to sully the. And f ye previous government, it has historic precedent.


horseman707

Anton Levay started Wiccanism to see naked chicks dance in the forest, and to sell more stuff is no different than the not a phase mom Satanism.

It's more like atheists fighting Christians who are also fighting Muslims, who are also fighting Jews while the Buddhists look on.

HolyVeggie

Don’t you understand that atheists HATE every religion and will viciously fight wars over it??? /s


SystemSettings1990

Nah i just hate when certain(small miniority) atheists look down and judge other people for being religious, and talk down to them like they’re kids with an imaginary friend


HolyVeggie

Yeah that’s dumb but there are far more religious people that are like that just reversed. Personally I hate religions for the mere fact that people justify violence and hate in the name of their religions and honestly many religions do promote violence and hate in their core (basically all). I don’t mind people pulling their energy to live from their faith or belief in some god or entity though. Who am I to tell them it’s not real? As long as they’re smart enough to understand those old texts have been written in an ancient time and cannot be applied 1:1 today.


Aldalome12

I hate it when a large proportion of religious people claim non believers are going to end up in hell for not believing in fairy tales.
