Being atheist

I’m an atheist. That doesn’t mean that I claim to know the answers to life, the universe and everything.

I’m an atheist. That doesn’t mean that I claim to know the answers to life, the universe and everything. It simply means that I don’t believe such answers, should they exist, would involve a God or Gods. That’s because I don’t believe in any God or Gods.

If you want to know about my actual worldview, philosophy or ideology you will need to ask me because, frankly my atheism doesn’t explain anything more than is contained in the first paragraph above.

From my perspective those who preach or prosyletise about Gods fall into one of 3 categories. They are either…

  1. Deceitful,
  2. Gullible,
  3. Both.

Either way they’re not fit to lead.

People have rights

We shouldn’t attack or hurt people for their beliefs

Ideas are up for grabs but people have rights. We shouldn’t attack or hurt people for their beliefs. They have a right to hold the beliefs they do. It’s unfortunate that so many Christians think that only applies to them. The rest of us can go to Hell where the God of love and mercy will see to it that we’re tortured forever.
