The same as every "Religion: Let's argue on my viewpoint thread" both peacocks will dance around, each one trying to show their dominance over the other with their vibrant display of colors.
Then the winner gets shoot and stuff in the home of a 40 year old hunter who wanted a colorful home.
Wratheist are the worst types, why, that there Sauron was talking about sending over a few of those types when I revealed I had knowledge of the one ring's whereabouts.
Man, I don't really know what to make of this thread. I was really angry and incensed when I made it. Now I look back and feel confused. Am I supposed to feel ashamed of what I did here? Because I'm not sure if I am.
I didn't want to stereotype all atheists as stupid and ignorant. It's just that I am really frustrated with smug insensitivity in the advent of something really sad. If it were Christians acting all holier-than-thou I would probably have made a similar thread.

Only fools take stereotypes to heart.
Even if you could quantify an average as to what behaviors a typical human being would do, do you really think taking that kind of application fairs you any good in terms of individual judgement?
Well, it can be, when it's warranted. Some people use their religion as an excuse to be horrible, and they deserve to be derided. Some people also use their lack of religion as an excuse to behave the same way, although they are ultimately rarer.

I dunno. I've met a lot of WBC/Jack Chick/"You're going to hell!"-style Christians, but I've met a lot more "no such thing as God LOL so edgies" atheists.
Or maybe the asshole atheists are just more vocal about it.

Only because they make up a much smaller amount of the population.
I'm not gonna play "who has the most insufferable people per capita" game with anyone, but no group deserves points simply for being smaller.
I kinda consider myself an atheist, but it's more because I'm not a Catholic due to my parents never taking me to church as a kid (and the prayers are kinda bleh, too).
I have never subscribed my thoughts or actions to any deity or following that could be linked to religious activities.
In this way I guess I am an atheist
my stance on deities is rather simplistic. in that the relative lineage of deities seems to have become suspiciously less verifiable as time went om, and even certain reward systems came into place for those who did not seek to verify them.
You know, something I've realized. we've had arms races before (As in the drive to create better weapons) but I don't see too many races where people use their arms.

That's because weaponry is probably prohibited at most racing events.
Honestly, some of the "smug atheism" stuff seems to be in response to hardcore Christian fundamentalism. While that doesn't absolve it of any smugness, it's still understandable. It's easy to hate something when it's presented in the distorted, hatemongering form Christian fundies pass off as "Christianity".
Honestly, I feel like some of those kinds of atheists should sit through my Christian Worldview class, because my professor says some stuff that offers a different perspective on Christianity.

Let me put on my smug atheist hat and say "Hmmm, yes, and that is precisely why Religions are backwater stories compared to sciences and maths, even if you wanted a different perspective on thermodynamics, the evidence of it would still be the same, poppycock!"
But I'd only really believe that if I were smug, which certainly I am not despite the fact I allowed myself to say such a statement. What kind of persons allows how that meta-conversation about a topic absolves them of the hubris that comes with such statements.

Such as? I'm interested.
All the same, I don't think it's that easy to get rid of skewed perceptions.
r/atheism is legitimately one of the most irritating places on the internet. If you're an atheist, it's because it's giving you a bad name, if you're literally anything else, it's because you're annoyed by the fedora-wearing bad science worship.
literally everyone I know who goes there (a surprising amount of people, mostly RL acquaintances who think they're intellectuals) is annoying as hell.

Challenge accepted? /links to horrible terrible places where you'd be surprised this stuff came from human beings.
