Are there any other atheists out there who find the fanatical atheists embarrassing?

*looks around and slowly raises her hand expecting rotten tomatoes thrown at her*\n\nYes, as a spiritual atheist, I am mortified by those fanatical atheists who seem not to be compassionate towards others of religious faiths, but I cannot tell them NOT to do this or NOT to say that.  I just hope the religious folks KNOW that there are rotten tomatoes in every group.\n\nEDIT: I agree with another who said fanatical _anything_ is embarrassing.  Kudos to that!

I think they are rebellious, and don't like limits. Religion consists of many limits. I think they are immature, and not ready to accept responsibility. Have you ever seen an atheist that was a loving caring mother? No because if they were an atheist at the time they had children they would believe in god as soon as they saw him/her. Also thank him every day for giving her such a gift.

I'm not sensitive about every little comment. Some atheists on here have made valid points, and I have respected them for it. But when atheists start going on about how we are "full of crap" and we are not as evolved as they are, it does make us angry.\n\nAnd not to sound like a smart alec, but why is it the mere mention of Christianity automatically means I'm "shoving it down your throat"?

Not preaching atheism.  Just cuz ONE atheist is, does not mean all atheists are.    I mainly ask and read questions/answers to get answers.

haha I asked the same question but about fundalmental christians.  For someone trying to figure out my own sprituality I find both sides rather annoying and superfical.  I think the reason both Atheists and Fundalmentals are on here so much is because their point of view is very simple to give a easy answer.  Beleive and don't question for the fundalmentals and don't beleive at all for the Atheists.  To answer many of the deep questions posted on here a lot of thought has to go into those answers.  Even with lots of thought, a good answer is hard to communicate.  Whole books have been written to answer some of these questions.  So it only appears to be narrow minded people in the population but in fact its just easier for them to give their narrow minded answers because to them everything is black and white

If You Want To Face Reality!....Yes, It's Strange!......This Is A Religious/Spiritual Site And 95% Of The People Who Log On To This Site Are Atheists, Agnostics, GOD Haters, And Folks Who Are Disrespecting, Judging, Condemning, Mocking, Rude, And Insulting The Religious/Spiritual Beliefs!!!!!...So, Yes, I Would Say That It's STRANGE TOO!.......Ps. You Have Any Ideas As To What To Do About It?...We're All Ears!....

I surely am not trying to convert you. I am an atheist as well and proud of it. You do not have to be a christian to be able to treat people well, with honesty and respect.There is such stigma attached to atheists, that people believe we are devil worshipers etc. This is a myth. I just do not subscribe to the myth and folly of organized religion.

I find the athiests are the rudest, most malicous.  They attack our beliefs, applaud each other for attacking us, then get their little feelings hurt if we don't sit and take it.  If you don't believe in anything, why are you constantly harrassing us.  Why hang around in a religious/spiritual area if you don't think anything exists outside of this life?  Go pick on the republicans/democrats, I'm guessing you at least believe in them.

This is very true.  I know quite a few atheists and agnostics who are very good people.  Those who judge them otherwise are ignorant and should not be payed attention to.

I'm starting to think that YOU suffer from brain atrophy. .. You must be under medication. Anyways, if you're an atheist. keep those sentiments to yourself. by doin this you'll only incite hatred towards yourself n' no sooner will u be REPORTED. .. talk about donkeys.\n\nP.S : Why do I think you're 'woodbuffalo' the moron who got suspended from yahoo answers?

I know exactly how you feel!  I get the same thing when I say I am an Atheist!!!  People are surprised when I tell them because I guess most of them assume that I am a Christian.\n\nI have already gone down the religion road and the older I get, I realize organized religion is suited for those who don't think for themselves!\n\nIt is prejudism!  But it happens to other religions also, like to the Islams and Buddhist and so on and so on!\n\nThis country was supposedly built for religious freedom, but people seem to think that they have a right to "Change your mind".\n\nI'm happy the way I am!!  Believe it or not, but I have a peaceful life with a loving husband and kids!!!!!  I try to teach my kids that it is OK not to believe in a supernatural being!!!  I am not hurting anyone by my beliefs!  So, please except my friendship or leave me a lone!\n\nGreat Question and I hope you get good responses!

Amen Christy! You've got a fire about you in this post, you sure you're not meant to be a preacher? Joking.\nI agree 100%. Forums like this always seem to bring out the bottom feeders. Then we end up with people screaming in frustration, "all you Christians are a bunch of jerks!" or "all you atheists are stupid!"\nThe BIG problem on this site is when a troll comes on here posting something controversial, people reward them by arguing back. Then you ask a serious question, and you get 5 or 6 answers. \nIf we really want the fighting to stop, both sides need to speak up and condemn those who are rude. Nonbelievers need to start speaking against rude atheists who call Christians names. Christians need to start rebuking uneducated Christians who give bad answers.\nAnd please, for the love of God, if you don't have an answer for an honest question, simply don't reply to it. Enough with the snide remarks that don't give the asker any help.
