I watched a youtube video titled “Imagine If All Atheists Left America” and it served as another eye opener for me. It made me realize that atheists are the most important people in America and possibly, the world! Most Nobel Prize winners, university professors, scientists, and charity founders are ATHEISTS!!! And the video showed what would happen to an atheist-free America: it will have a poor, unhealthy, unhappy economy. Come to think of it, countries with the least atheist population are those in the third world: Somalia, Yemen, Iraq, Iran, Egypt, and the Philippines. Then I did some research. All of this is true, and there is more. Countries with 50%+ atheist population are healthy, happy, and economically stable.
And those in history’s most evil were THEISTS!!! Not atheists but THEISTS – those who worship the Judea-Christian God. Stalin, another mass murderer, was an atheist, no doubt, but he didn’t kill for atheism. Hitler, on the other hand, killed Jews for his religion. It is utterly absurd and ridiculous to say that atheists are evil people. There are relatively few atheists in jail since most of the convicts are theists. Terrorist are Theists. Few atheists even killed anyone.
Most of the notable atheists are promoting peace; they are scientists, trying to improve humanity as we know it. It’s illogical, irrational, and ridiculous that I can’t express my feelings for those who say atheism kills society. Let’s say, what if the theists left society? Maybe less war, less stupidity, less genocides, less freaks, less trouble.
Atheists are good people, no doubt. It’s just a matter of time before you’ll realize this. I’m an atheist and I love humanity. I promote peace. Just because we don’t have God doesn’t mean that we also don’t have morals. Humans should help each other, not discriminate one another. And who do you think does the most discrimination? Think again.
[…] It Made Me Think […]
I find it disquieting that there is a need to show the bad side of "good" people to show how good "bad" people are, whichever is your preference.
If you are good, and do good, then so be it! It should end there, and there should be nothing more.
perhaps a case of too much of a good thing? people need validity Willy, apparently even atheists.
We have no deep-seated evil that needs religion to restrain.
Religion is for children and the weak, much like a santa Claus for kids to wait every Xmas for gifts…so be good, children.
For the weak, religion is their "crutch", so they can stand straight and walk without a limp..Remove the crutch and they will fall easily.
Having a rational mind makes you strong and stand out in a crowd..
I remember in grade one…everybody had the same answer but me.they were angry I did not change my answer inspite of them prodding and insulting me… i was the only one who got 100..
I have always been different. I always go against the grain.
It made me think a long time ago that "god is not there for me, so why should I believe him?
Religion was made to address problems of the past. People depended on it for that reason. When these problems were solved, religion had no more use. But there are some people who grew dependent on it that they can't just live without it. In order to perpetuate religion, it becomes necessary then to perpetrate the problems of the past to make sure that religion lives on. Thus, religion promotes evils that men should've outgrown long ago.
We should learn to stand straight on our own feet, not to entrust ourselves to self-appointed 'holies' but be responsible for ourselves and the welfare of our fellowmen. =)
Every denomination has its rotten eggs. May it be theists or atheists. While it is true that there have been many abuses committed by members of the church throughout history, there have also been brilliant scholars, philosophers, doctors and thinkers among the church who strove to help their fellow man.
Even the pope during the medieval period committed mass murders – of Muslims, pagans, Jews and other political enemies of the church. They call it the Holy Crusades.
Even now, clerical abuses are still rampant.
Yes, it made me think and I agree, most theists are freaks.
Let's not polarize ourselves any further from our theist brothers and sisters: too much human effort has been wasted on that account. Sure theists might not believe/disbelieve the same way we do but the best we can do is seek a common, rational, and secular ground.
Then maybe they'll see how good it is to be one of the 'good' guys. 😉
