You goin based on the social circles of every religious person so I just threw that generazation back at you, and there are plenty of whites in college who are atheists.
When did I mention social circles of every religious person? I said "people tend to become Atheist in college" you replied "CUZ BEING ATHEIST IS COOL IN COLLEGE". I never mentioned it. And if your referring to me saying "atheism doesn't fly in the black community" are we really going to deny that now? And I mentioned my friend being white to illustrate the point the Blacks tend to not be atheists, supporting that social pressures was the last reason i became an atheist (assuming you believe that im black and have other friends that aren't white).
Once again, your statement was a gross assumption as well and I simply threw it back at you, and there's nothin retarded or arrogant to say they THINK its one of the Four Horsemen but it is retarded and arrogant to say there's no way that could be anythin other than a coincidence.
Problem is, its never "Oh gee I think thats War of the Four Horsemen. How nice". Its more like "THE APOCALYPSE HAS COME. THE MESSIAH WILL SOON RISE. REPENT SINNERS AND PREPARE FOR END TIMES". When weird shit happens (and yet often time explainable weird shit) , religious people are often time the first ones (WITH complete sincerity and conviction) to say it was the work of their god. Do you not remember all those animal dieoffs? Niggas was in here saying it was either HAARP or a sign of the times. Before that, niggas wanted to say hurricane Katrina was an act of god. You'll find atheists will disprove religious claims faster than anything else because religious people (whether they realize it or not) have a habit of using any instance to push their world view, which is opportunistic and self serving as fuck.
]And even if someone claimed they saw a ghost and had no religious beliefs whatsoever, atheists are natural skeptics and tend to apply logic, fact, and reason particularly in cases of the supernatural. Not only is there no reason to believe in such things if there's nothing to back it up (and if a logical explanation exists), but also unchecked, unverified, and unquestioned "supernatural occurrences" have a nasty habit of inspiring humans to believe and do stupid shit (aka religion).
It's not arrogant to think it could be the work of the God you believe in, it 's only arrogant to state your opinion as fact which most atheists tend to do all the time as seen throughout this thread.
Yes it is. If your saying "YOUR god" did it, your without any particularly good reason shunning the possibility of it being a billion other gods and or supernatural entities. And since religious people have faith, they absolutely, without a shadow of a doubt believe that their opinion IS fact.
Atheists may indeed come off as arrogant (which is defined as an attitude of superiority manifested in an overbearing manner or in presumptuous claims or assumptions) but at least we have logic, reason, and testable evidence supporting our opinion. Religious people dont have shit but old ass books and unreliable accounts. Id like to think our "presumptuous claim" is a bit less presumptuous than that of religion.
And here's the funny thing, if im wrong, if evidence, logic and reason start running contrary to my opinion? Im wrong then. No big deal. Believers however will ignore logic when its right fucking there. Its why you hear wack job theories about fossils being some satanic conspiracy to support evolution.
Religious people will bury their head in the sand when faced with that facts, and not amount of logic and reason will sway them. Its why I earlier equated becoming an atheist to waking up from the Matrix, its something you have to do yourself.
I shouldn't even need to tell you how arrogant that part of your post was. Translation - " it's arrogant to have an opinion that I disagree with" If they were really arrogant they'd claim it was them makin all of these things happen not give someone else all the credit.
Once again look at the definition of arrogance.
And tell me, if you don't believe and do the same thing as someone else, and because of this, they think your lifestyle is "wrong" aka incorrect aka inferior and they ostracize you at best and kill you at worst, and have cool names for you like infidel and heathen, what the fuck does that make them?
