I know that there is a recurring theme of atheists being called satan worshipers, baby killers, all kinds of fun stuff. .. what's the best thing you've ever been called by someone devout DIRECTLY BECAUSE of your atheism?
I lived with a vegetarian once..she would call me a murderer whenever I brought lobster home for my dinner..she told me they scream when you dropped them in to boiling water..I looked at her and no they don't scream cause they don't have vocal chords..she countered with they pull younger lobsters out of harms way..i looked at her and said they're Cannibals...lol
Cannibal who eats babies, Satanist, Satan Worshipper, Heathen, Pagan, Savage, Hell-Spawn, Blasphemer, Child of the Devil, the list is almost endless with what I've been called over my 60+ years as an Atheist.
When some poor, deluded Theist/Faithfool accuses me of being a Cannibal and eating Babies my response is, "But I only eat the babies from Religious families such as those from the Abrahamic Beliefs because they are so tender, soft and sweet tasting plus there are plenty of them to go around"....LOL.
Nobody has ever said anything nasty or accusatory to me about my lack of belief.
You don't know just what you've been missing out on then. The comments of these Faithfools are, without a doubt, truly well worth the best belly laughs you can ever have.
Fence sitter....that's my favorite....I don't sit in the middle, I walk around the landscape sharing in other's belief systems. A living Virgil, if you will...hehe..how dramatic of me...
I have often been told I was going to hell, though....especially when the street evangelicals would start on their rants in downtown portland, and I would yell next to them about the virtues of satan...they would get so miffed....hated sharing the 'stage'...hehe...oh the 90's...
I've been called many things for being an atheist. The worst was "baby eater." My favorite though was when a Muslim called me "a racist piece of human shit, cracker ass nigger lover." Oh the irony.
@obtusethevague1 lol, right? I'm not even white.
Yeah ... one awful guy called me one once ... so I ate him !
Did you have his liver with fava beans and a nice Chianti?
@obtusethevague1 nasty !
Hmmmmm I got a accused of being a cannibal by a vegetarian once, but not by any religious people.
Conversation about If I survived a plane crash and was in the middle of nowhere on some icy mountains (just like the movie) Would I eat human flesh. I said If circumstances were so bad I would consider it. So they went crazy and called me a cannibal.
Given the same circumstances you described, I sure as hell would.
Soulless asshole but that may just be my personality.
Lol I think so, as in “go eat a baby.”
