    Can you not just leave it out for a bit? It’s irritating now.

          I can! But it’s often like I can’t say “God love him” without some self-assured milksop craning his neck to tell me God can’t love him because God doesn’t exist.

          I thought we’d snuffed this shite-arse logic out with “toxic masculinity”? They said “acting like a 2007 edgy internet atheist”, not “being atheist, which makes them edgy”.

            Literally all they did was suggest the opposite scenario. What exactly is edgy about it? It’s the atheism being taken issue with clearly, there’s no internet edgy about it. If that is edgy, then it basically says “anyone who disagrees with me is 2007 internet edgy.”

        If billions of people believed Santa Claus existed, and forced their beliefs on other people, wouldn’t you get sick of it?

        Religion has killed many millions of people, standing up and calling it out for it’s lies and nonsense is the right thing to do.

            I wonder what the hundreds of thousands burned alive for not being Christian would say to your comment.

              See, I could reply to this with “nothing, because there’s no afterlife”. That’s what’s irritating: taking figures of speech or offhand comments based on this old idea of God and opting to be a humourless little twerp about them.
