I'm getting more and more irritated at the "us & them" mentality of believers who hold themselves in high esteem just because they believe, and we don't. They pity us, they look down their noses at us, and think that we're lost. They "pray for us" that we find God.
What incredibly arrogant, prideful, egoic bullshit. I even had someone on Facebook yesterday tell me that Christianity was logical. You can imagine how THAT got my hackles up.
Sorry, just needed to rant for a bit.
I find the religious people of all denominations completely hilarious, especially on facebook. I have a whole folder of offensive memes just for them, ridiculing all faiths. I've been told I'm going to hell dozens of times and they'll pray for me. I tell them don't stress, it's fine. All the interesting people will be in hell anyway
I know how you feel .I used to get irritated with them, but then I realized that attempting to open their minds to logic would be like debating Einstein’s theory of general relativity with a 3rd grader .
Ya, but do it enough, and fence-sitters overhearing those conversations will maybe go to the dark side...
Funny, I find myself succumbing to the same "Us vs. Them" mentality, except that I pity them for their blind faith and insane delusions and fantasies and "pray" (hope) that they will see the Light of Reason. It takes a great deal of effort to transcend that feeling of superiority, and I'm not sure I'm always successful. But at least I try.
