New to this board and want to know the rules? Have a question for atheists? Then you should probably read the FAQ (Updated: 3/19/15). It's not necessary, but don't be surprised if people ignore you if you don't elaborate further on a question already answered here, or the moderator does something you didn't expect.

Well, it looks like 8chan is tearing itself about because not only can the spergs not contain their autism and sheer retardation, Hotwheels tolerance of the spergs autism is running thin and it's making him loose faith and do more and more dumb things out of apathy. Though I don't agree with all his actions, I feel for the poor guy.

Theres a chance we'll be around for quite a while longer, but if something happens to 8chan, where do we go? What other chans have an atheism board? This community feels awfully unique to chan communities, and I'd hate to lose it because of some spergs who love to bathe in drama 24/7.

I myself will probably go to Lainchan, and maybe try Voat to see if they will change some of the UI I hated about Reddit, and also see their community is less cancerous than Reddit's and less self destructive than 8chan's. If someone else tries another 8chan, I'll be cautious, because with all the retards around here I have a feeling none of them can hold their autism (not to mention ego) and run a chan as long as Hotwheels did, especially with all the retarded suggestions I see on /operate/, troll or not, and even if they can, the community here takes one thing you do and holds it against you. Hotwheels was right to have an inclusive community so everyone can have a say. Many of these retards want the same gated community almost every other chan has.

With you guys though, it might be fun to get a copy of vichan and make some kind of Atheism chan. Don't know how long the community would last, but there's got to be some form of potential in it, or at least if it was a philosophical chan. Shit, who knows. Either way, despite all the trolls being here, it's been kind of fun talking with you guys. I learned a bit, and you guys made me think of things I'd never realized before. I went from agnostic to atheist in a span of months. Hopefully we'll last a lot longer than I'm thinking.

8chan is turning into a christian image board

If this board falls I'll probably find another subject to interest me for a while. It's dangerous to learn too many refutations of religion, because you're more tempted to accidentally start arguments, or be bitter when people casually say illogical things. Even so, this board has been a good sounding board for testing and refining my views. The longer debate threads were my favorites.

I might go back to 4chan sometimes for the /a/ or /jp/ boards. But as I slip away from watching anime regularly, I may slip away from the chans.

Thats where the phrase "live and let live" comes in. I understand why you feel that way though. I'd rather keep learning, even if I turn into some weird outcast.

Christians have always been the majority on this site. The problem is that many of them are hardcore /pol/ types.

Are there stats on this? I am aware the /christian/ board is significantly larger than /atheism/ and many /pol/lacks are oddly Christian considering it's the worship of the dead jew on a stick and Hitler's now known personal views. But other boards are popular and seem to have plenty of atheists. It's just inappropriate in a discussion about vidya or gpus whatever to be like: "guys btw there is no evidence for god."

As you've seen, sense doesn't apply to the good majority of /pol/lacks. Maybe Christians aren't the majority, but it sure feels like it.

Maybe Reddit I guess they have more than on atheist board and one is maybe less

awful.

There has been a weird fundamentalist reaction in the chan sphere lately. Which is really pretty bizarre when you think of the foundation this kind of community was built on. That being hentai and nigger jokes.

I think it's mostly limited to /pol/ and /christian/ though. The other popular boards don't care to talk about this shit.

I have never seen an atheist blurt out their opinions without having it warranted.

I browse /v/ and I have never seen, "BTW, guys, there is no god!" I have however, seen, "Is x a Christian game?" "Does x have heresy in it?" "Why is x so anti-Christian?"

And then the atheists call them out and they reply with, "Tips fedora."

>There has been a weird fundamentalist reaction in the chan sphere lately.

You're absolutely right, it's called contrarianism.

>>9106

Voat has a better atheist board. It's not a hugbox like reddit. And their mods aren't ban-happy.

4chan's /pol/ has also been spamming the christ-chan pics recently. Is 4chan becoming more Christian too? I dread the day when you can't post about Shinto on a Japanese-themed board without being called a heretic.

It was nice when 4chan had one purpose: anime and Japan, before all the subdivisions /k/, /cook/, etc, opened the doors to the mainstream. The site became too big, and Normalfags who have barely watched a handful of anime/manga have scaled the gates without discovering the emergent lunacy of following other Gods/beliefs. The young fundies have diluted the ranks. They are replacing the old guard that followed the order of the weeaboo.

I think we all just assumed 4chan was full of atheists and agnostics who didn't care. Instead it may have been full of the most hypocritical types of christian, the type who may never actually face themselves and become self aware to how much they are contradicting themselves.

Then again, maybe its just because a lot of people here originally came from /pol/.

Everything on 4chan is very un-chistian. But for some people religion is like the local sports team. You have to "support the team" but you don't really have to do anything.

Does I don't know and I don't care to think about it really count as atheism?


1ed84a No.9125

>>9120

Yes, atheism very simply means not believing in a deity. It technically doesn't even mean non-religious. Just no sky daddies of any kind.

If a person doesn't even think about it. Hasn't even considered the question. By default they would be an atheist.

>My dog is an atheist

If you want this word to remain useful, I wouldn't recommend defining it like that.


1ed84a No.9144

>>9143

Well he is. That's not my definition either. That's just the definition.

This is why as many have pointed out its such a weird thing to define a person by. Rarely do we label people by what they don't believe.


515134 No.9146

>>9120

That would make you an apatheist, but nobody uses this term unless they want to send that message specifically, because if you don't care, you don't believe in a god and that makes you, by definition, an atheist.

That's true though. All animals are, including humans when they're born.
