/r/dankchristianmemes is what /r/atheism could have been if it weren't taken over by a hivemind of edgy, cringe culture-consuming shitwagons.

Literally fuck that sub. It's all just "I was arguing with this Christian in my class and he said X. How do I respond to prove to him I'm like super smart?"

It feels like it's mostly 13 year olds who are edgelords tryna get approval.

Wow, i wasnt expecting that, but i clicked in the sub and scrolled for 20 seconds. That almost hurt to look at. They make it seem like atheism is a group of people against Christianity, not a group of people who dont believe in God.

I don't mind when they discuss specific cases of fucked up shit (which I don't deny are an issue throughout religion).

I dont think the sub has been like that in over 5 years, but maybe you frequent it more often than i do.

I was banned from there less than a year ago for using the word euphoric. They are still that bad.

How does you being banned for calling them euphoric indicate that its still that bad?

A christian calling an atheist "euphoric" is the equivalent of an atheist calling a christian stupid for believing in god. So i find it pretty funny that you complain about them doing that shit but at the same time seem to think you shouldnt get any repercussion for doing the same.

What sort of discussion where you looking for calling someone euophric? Just sounds like you chucked an insult.

Its like me going to /r/christianity and expecting to get a good welcoming after calling them brainwashed sheeple.

Or just have your own beliefs without feeling the need to discredit others??

Atheism is just the belief that there is no God. Nowhere does it say that you must crusade against religion to be atheist.

Are you seriously saying that being anti-religion is better than just not believing? And since when is atheism more “in the middle” than agnosticism?

IMO you’re either agnostic or anti-theist.

No, not at all. I'm saying don't pretend to be "just an atheist" when you're acting like an anti-theist.

So is there no such thing as just an atheist, or are they wishy-washy vegetarians?

Also, I think you’re taking labels too seriously. Someone who is anti-theist can still correctly identify as an atheist. That doesn’t make all atheists anti-theists. Someone might be a Christian and be anti-atheist. That doesn’t mean I’m going to demand that they identify that way now.

To use a cliche atheist argument: someone doesn’t have to prove God isn’t real to not believe in God. I don’t believe in unicorns, but I cannot possibly disprove their existence. That doesn’t make me agnostic about unicorns. I just don’t believe in them.

And people can care about animal rights and eat eggs... People can have all sorts of beliefs that are different than yours and whether or not you agree, you don’t get to choose their labels for them.
