Atheist.

okay, you know what? i am sick of this.
so many atheists pound on religion, especially christianity for driving their beliefs into other people's ears. but guess what?
ive seen far more atheists start religious debates than christians.

this is a list of some of the things i CANT STAND.

I HATE when i am scrolling through a forum or some sort of thing like SongMeanings and i see a post that starts off with "i am an atheist but..." or "i am a christian, but..."
I HATE IT. I HATE IT. I HATE IT. why should your beliefs have anything to do with whether or not you like a band? seriously. i hate seeing "i really like norma jean, even though im an atheist." or... "lamb of god is a pretty good band, even though i am a christian."
what does that matter?
all that does...is draw attention to yourself in hopes that someone with different beliefs will catch your comment and respond with a tongue lashing. you are ASKING for trouble.
its like they draw themselves towards religious debates.

another thing i hate is what i witnessed today.
i was reading about Ryan Clark's new artwork for The Showdown's newest album. the art features a HUGE dude with arrows sticking out all over him, but he is unphased. he just stands there like Zeus. he got the idea from the greek mythology song titles on the album.

the VERY FIRST COMMENT on the blog was from a kid named "16 year old atheist."
first of all...WHY DO YOU HAVE TO INTRODUCE YOURSELF AS "ATHEIST". IS THAT HONESTLY THE BEST AND MOST MEANINGFUL DESCRIPTION YOU HAVE OF YOURSELF?
but this kid was all over it. he was like "blah blah i think you as christians are hypocrites for introducing greek mythology which is polytheistic blah blah"
great kid. you know big words like mythology and polytheism and monotheism.
come on. just because they are christian, doesnt mean every single thing in their life (like album art) has to be a big portrait of jesus.
YES. the point of christianity is to let jesus spread into every aspect of your life.
but for real dude. there is nothing wrong, in my humble opinion, with respecting other cultures and finding an entertainment value in utilizing ideas and imagery from another mode of thinking.

my biggest beef with atheists is that they are so often so very aggressive in denouncing everything that isn't similar to their own beliefs, which is one of the major reasons they became atheists in the first place. (this is called hypocrisy.)



ugh, i have more thoughts but im just not feeling it right now.
part 2?
