In France I don't think we have, but we do have muslims woman who REFUSE to be treated by a man, and it's always a mess

This is just so wrong

I mean I don't get it, especially when the best specialist available is a man, are they willing to not be treated at all ? But hey, to each their own right, it's too bad for them

Well I mean, we did say that suicide was a personal choice last time so I guess. Can't save someone who doesn't want to be saved. Allah help them etc

True, but it's a bit frustrating to see them causing mayhem in public hospital like girl if there's no female currently available get treated by a man But yeah, it's pretty rare though ngl.
I so wish we lived in a world where everyone could practice their belief, while still being able to adjust them to situations. In short, I just want people to be smart

Tell me about it. During the Russian invasion in 08, there were people that insisted that god would save us and we should not be worried. Instead of rallying or preparing to evacuate they were looking for the church patriarch to bless and guide them(I can't remember atm what the specific English term for his title is). Like pack your bags and run bitch, what else do you want him to tell you

Oh so you're Georgian ! That's another aspect I dislike about religion in times of desperation instead of trying to be lucid about things and act, they just freeze and pray, like no ? Some religious people are really child-like in those situations.

About heathcare, I only know that hospitals usually ask if you're Jehovah's Witness before booking a surgery because they don't accept blood transfusions

oh wow, I see that once again I got these SJWs hot and bothered, or triggered... is the word I should be looking for

There are so many responses made here that I would like to applaud, but I am on my phone so I can't multiquote


The SJWs came here breaking their heels and sending "Help Support11" because they got triggered and want to shut down conversation where we are free, as atheists, to talk about. In our hangout thread. But you see, since they can't bring factual argument, they need their safe space zone because god forbid someone attacks their beliefs.

Why shouldn't be free to talk about what we want? I don't see other threads that have specifical group name talk about that topic. Most of them talk about **** in these threads

Gender is a topic that atheists want to have discussion because "non binary" genders are not supported by any evidence, biology or facts. It's a belif system on gender that has already been debunked numerous times.

It's so funny when I see these people labelling us as "right-wing" simply because we don't agree with their regressive ideology and hence we are "hateful" and "wrong".

I want to agree with what ATRL Moderator said in this thread tho

If I ever meet a "non binary" person, I would still be nice and respect him as a person. But that would not stop me from being critical on his idea on genderism, just like with any religious person. I will respect them as induviduals, but not religion itself as it's unnecessarry in today's society, just like these 76 "genders" that tumblr creates every month

Once again religion is overprovilged to the point where social services and child protective laws cannot act appropriately cuz of it. People still don't get why I'm so adamant on separating church and state

Jehovah's Witnesses are coming to my house twice a year. They were always looking for my parents, but not me since I was still underage at the time. Now that I am older, I haven't seen them anymore

I am so triggered because I would love to have a conversation about it and point out their illogical belief system on so many things and how their version contradicts itselfs. Ughhh, my parents are catholics so they don't know how to clockT. these JW's good. But gurl, I am always ready for religious conversation with them. I also got receipts with me too

But speaking of contradiction, I was going to religious class in high school and the teacher told us how JW are a sect and how their faith is unreal. THE IRONY

I was a closeted atheist because my high school was really religious, so if teacher told others that I was an atheist, they would treat me worse than everyone else.

I had a religious class in history too except it was just a crazy devoted woman that would come in and make us pray and talk to us about bible stories. The she had the entire class hunting down and ripping up pokemon cards. I had to cut a hoe for doing that to mine. She did have me fascinated for awhile with how much magic and mystery there was in the bible. I actually wanted to be a priest when I was little cuz I thought all I had to do was read cool stories about people getting tortured and magic and would go to heaven cuz of it

The defence mechanisms your brain has to develop to not let those fantasies of christian afterlife be shattered It needs to be studied

This thread . Hell means grave. Dead. Not a firey pit where you burn forever. It's in the Bible and in the dictionary

They don't even know what they are talking about themselves

What do you guys think of death though ? Do you think there's nothing after ? Do you make a separation between the "mind" and the "body", scientifically it's proven that energy never dies, so what happens to our energy ?

watching some great atheist videos, but I can't post them since I am on my phone

also I need to post update on new atheist youtubers videos, but literally all of them are talking about SJWs this week

btw. does anyone know what happen to heckinglovato? why isn't he posting anything on ATRL? I hope he's ok

On the Jehovah Witness stuff.. I'm pretty sure the law is here that if a child (under 18) needs a blood transfusion and comes from a Jehovah's Witness family that they will give the child the transfusion anyway because they are a minor. Though this does get hazy with situations where the patient is like ~17 so there's some flexibility.
