The angry Atheists poll

[quarky]

I was an angry Catholic. Now, an angry atheist. I like anger.

 

[slingblade]

I'm angry at everything. It's kind of silly to pull out one thing from the entirety of existence and ask me if it makes me angry simply because it exists.

 

[Piscivore]

There wasn't an option for me. I am interested in people, and one of more telling aspects of a person is what religion they follow, and how much of it they hold to be true (such as the "cafeteria Christians"). Some religious concepts I find puzzling, some amusing, some inspirational (as in, if only people would act that way), and some outright horrific.

I get angry about some things related to religion, but mostly I find religion to be just another absurdity to laugh at, along with pretty much everything else.

I agree with both of my friends here, more or less. There's an aphorism I like: "An idea is not responsible for the people who believe in it". I don't get angry at abstract concepts like "religion", abstract concepts don't do things, people do. And I do get angry at people. Sometimes.

Of course, I'm only an atheist when it doesn't amuse me to be something else.

Just you wait until he rises, then you will learn what an abstract concept is capable of.

He is not abstract. And why do you think I've been fattening myself up? I aim to get eaten first.

That is not dead which can eternal lie.
And with strange aeons even death may die.

 

[RandFan]

Angry, must smash!...I hate Zoroastrinism!!!

Theists, can't live with them, can't [snipped] them.

Four Gods wait on the windowsill
Where once eight Gods did war and will
And if the Gods themselves may die
What does that say for you and I?

Tycho and Brahe would be proud.

The tusks which clashed in mighty brawls
Of mastodons, are billiard balls.
The sword of Charlemagne the Just
Is Ferric Oxide, known as rust.
The grizzly bear, whose potent hug,
Was feared by all, is now a rug.
Great Caesar's bust is on the shelf,
And I don't feel so well myself.

 

[John Jones]

This thread makes me angry.

 

[paximperium]

This thread makes me angry.

Your anger at this thread makes me angry.

 

[RobRoy]

Your anger at this thread makes me angry.

That makes me apathetic.

 

[joobz]

Your anger at this thread makes me angry.

I sense a great disturbance in this thread.

 

[RandFan]

I see that we are in need of an intervention.

[briefly] steering the thread back on topic,

I'm generally a #3, i don't bother with religion. today, however, I find myself seethingly mad at what has been done to that poor abducted girl (Jaycee Dugard) and her 2 daughters by some whacked-out religious nut. Perhaps it's just my heightened emotions about the case, but it seems to me that a preponderance of horrific things are done in the name of religious belief, and right now, today, I loathe religion and all of its deluded followers.

Fair point.
