You are being very aggressive lol. I’m not being a pickme, I couldn’t give less fucks what religious people think of me. I actively dislike religious people, and agree with you that religion is the root of a good amount of the evil in the world.
All I said was that annoying atheists do exist (I know, I was one of them).
If you won’t allow allies to lightly push back on your ideas then you’ll find yourself without many allies.
I did not attack a wide, diverse range of people. I attacked a small subset that exists almost exclusively on Reddit.
Would it be worth me saying that I find some atheists annoying, but that I find far, far more theists annoying? I find some people in every group annoying. That doesn’t mean I find everyone in those groups annoying. It also doesn’t mean that I’m not an ally for those groups. I will fight to the death for gay rights but if a gay person is being annoying they’re still being annoying.
It’s fine, you don’t think atheists can be annoying. Or you think admitting that they can is counterproductive? That’s also fine. Obviously I disagree, but I just don’t understand your hostility.

I never said this. and if you’re to be taken for you word, it pretty much seals the deal - I find you incredibly annoying. pedantic. facile. tiresome and disappointing.

I’m glad you’re all those things, but instead of standing up for those things, you decided to punch down. reddit (before the diaspora) was a cross-section of society, of course there will be annoying individuals of all stripes in each population, the question is, do you focus on that tiny minority, or the xtians who invade your privacy, judge your values, ignore their own scripture while raping and murdering for their skycake?
you made a choice at some point that this would become your personality - “I’m an atheist but…” - and misread my disgust for that reaction as ‘being hostile to you.’
I didn’t knock on your door to convert you to the idea that all atheists are great, but if you pipe up in threads with “I’m an atheist but…” I hope I’m there to laugh at what a sad choice it is every fucking time.
I don’t care pickme, I don’t believe you. “I’m an atheist but…” I don’t need allies like this. Go shit someplace else.

Have a great day anyway man.
you’re investing way more into this than is actually there.
and yet, you feel the need to attack a wide, diverse range of people based on your reddit interactions.
I don’t feel like you’re my ally, regardless of what you assume, and allies that attack their own aren’t the allies I want to work with.
Have the day you deserve.

I’m having a great day so far, thanks!
