Ignorant Creationist Explaining Atheist Anger

Another one of my favorite sections of this great show.

What is The Atheist Experience?

The Atheist Experience is a weekly cable access television show in Austin, Texas, geared at an atheist and non-atheist audience. The Atheist Experience is produced by the Atheist Community of Austin (ACA), a nonprofit educational corporation to develop and support the atheist community, to provide opportunities for socializing and friendship, to promote secular viewpoints, to encourage positive atheist culture, to defend the first amendment principle of state-church separation, to oppose discrimination against atheists and to work with other organizations in pursuit of common goals.

Part 2 of 2

2. it is infuriating to watch as people's basic rights are taken away because the majority of our society still lives by the arcane moral standards outlined in the bible and they see fit to impose those morals onto the rest of society.

3. it is infuriating to watch people die for and kill over whose imaginary friend is the most real

4. it is infuriating to see scientific progress stopped because it threatens the church.

this is why atheists always seem angry!

Part 1 of 2

I am an atheist. I actually agree with the statement that 'atheists always seem angry'. I do however, feel this is easily explained and furthermore is understandable. First, atheists are only identified as atheists when they are debating/discussing religion/god. It is at this time that they 'always' seem angry. Why? 1. as an atheist, it is infuriating to be looked down upon and considered foolish when it is so obviously the atheist argument that is the logical one.

@noobenstein You sat through a whole video(I'm assuming you've seen the vid you're commenting on) explaining that those who think atheists are mad don't understand atheists, yet you still aren't willing to get to know an atheist or two before you claim the exact same statement?

Well I'm an atheist, and I'd be happy to sit down and have a mature chat with you about this, explaining atheism and rational thought to you. That is, if you're willing to have an open mind about it. :).

Wow.  You guys look reallly angry. lol

[noobenstein]

@realoldguy1969 You don't exist... *shrug*

[voltair3inlov3]

I think christians are a lot more angry.

[realoldguy1969]

@noobenstein spirituality, faith, dragons, unicorns, souls, an afterlife, giants, fairies, elves, ogres, goblins, and ghosts are only real in your mind. Outside of the thoughts in your head, it doesn't exist. It is just wishful thinking and fantasy. Your "what if" is a fantasy thought.

[noobenstein]

@realoldguy1969 Nope. Its a load of rubbish. So what? Just because one bunch of people get spirituality totally wrong, doesn't mean we must all be meaningless machines with no soul. What if there are different spiritual beleifs that DO make sense? One that is in tune with empirical science and embraces evolution and the rest of stuff...

[realoldguy1969]

@noobenstein have you ever read the bible? The whole bible, from cover to cover?

[noobenstein]

@blahblahreadabook Atheists are always angry because they are full of self-denial. They deny their own soul. Atheists think they have no free-will and are just meaningless machine with no emotions or ability to be conscious or experience life.

Just like feminists are always angry. And republicans always angry.

Self-denial makes people angry.
