Why do you openly point to religion as being a horrible, wrong thing? I enjoy DoA, but Joyce comics frequently just come across as "GUYS, I used to be religious but now I'm an Atheist with a capital A! It's the best! Atheism! Religious people suck! I love Atheism! Fuck Yeah Atheism!". I am also an atheist but I respect the beliefs of religious folk who aren't intolerant bigots. It disappoints me because you're usually really accepting of other people, but seem to have it out for religious folk.
It is true, I do write Joyce as a 100% awful person with no redeeming qualities, and Walky is never ever chastised by Dorothy for being mean to her. I have it out for Joyce super bad.

What are your thoughts on religious chauvinism in New Atheism? Even as an atheist, I've always felt a bit exhausted by the endless Hitchens quotes and science-as-ideology attitudes.
I don’t think I know what New Atheism is. Probably don’t want to, either. I’m happy just not believing in the supernatural.
Folks can believe what they want, so long as it doesn’t get in the laws that govern me.

FIRST RULE OF HATS.
YOU TAKE THOSE FUCKERS OFF INDOORS.
WEARING A HAT INDOORS IS HIGHLY RUDE AND UNCLASSY.
YOU IGNORANT FUCKS.
I’m still hung up on that last one. Atheism “is a great power and a realization that only few can truely [sic] achieve”? Any-fuckin’-one can be an atheist. There’s no “hidden mystical secrets.” Atheism isn’t being a motherfuckin’ sorcerer.
I can’t believe this many people are getting pissy about me saying atheism is a religion.
Guys, ANY belief regarding the nature/existence/nonexistence of deities and the supernatural counts as a religion. Efforts by atheists to claim atheism isn’t a religion are just an attempt to claim atheism is better/more special than other religions and it’s really lame and boring.
There’s a real personal need, sometimes, to claim unequal things are equal in the name of being equitable. I think it’s better to understand the differences between different things but yet act equitable towards them rather than redefine them to be equal and pretend the differences don’t exist.
Otherwise it feels like this is just an attempt to feel better/more special than other atheists.
licoricepencil asked:
What irks me about the "atheism is a religion" is that the answer is simply no, it is not. There are seven dimensions of religion as developed by Ninian Smart, and they are material, myth, doctrinal, ethical, experiential, ritual, and social. Atheism fails these dimensional requirements by A) not having any sacred buildings or art (material), B) not having a standard myth, C) no ritual or social structures, etc. There are many other reasons, but I don't have enough space. BOOM.
I think the shortcut is realizing that if every single possible belief or unbelief is now religion, then “religion” as a word has no value. It’s a pointless word, and I guess we better make up a new word to describe what religion is and atheism isn’t.
(And that’ll work out until jackholes redefine that new word to magically include everything again through specious maneuvering.)
I mean I guess it’s because I usually refrain from making fun of religious art from religions which are persecuted minorities, and stick to making fun of religions which face no oppression in the west (christianity, atheism, wicca, satanism) but wow, that’s an awfully low bar people are setting for “nice person”
>religions
>atheism
I’m an atheist myself, and atheism definitely counts as a religion.
Nice brony meme reaction pic btw.
Fart in my god damn mouth.
I’d say atheism could be treated like a religion by certain atheists, particularly the more, uh, dogmatic atheist folks, but I don’t think merely not believing in the supernatural makes you religious. I’m pretty sure that’s, like, the opposite.
It’s a silly thing to say.
I have a new friend!
This billboard went up by my house today. Lots of people here are incredibly angry that it exists. Lots of backlash against atheists for having the audacity to live in this city, or at all. Which just goes to show how much this billboard was needed. I’m happy it’s there.
