Right? They're all nuts. Glad we can all agree on that

Was it Ecstasy who posted a few pages back that atheist/agnostics don't really share an ideology or anything besides lack of belief?
While that is true, I think the implications of being an atheist differ from country to country. Being irreligious is not a big deal at all in places like France (or that's the feel I get from the few months I spent there--correct me if this is false, FBF) and the Czech Republic. Or in places like China where due to communism being irreligious was encouraged. But in North America where I've lived (Mexico and the Southern US) being an atheist is associated with freethinkers and intellectualism because atheists are people who shake the religious frame of the societies they live in. So yeah while it's not associated with any ideology in some places atheists do tend to be more liberal and intellectual, imo.
Yes and statistically gays are way more sexually active and likely to have STDs, that doesn't mean that I am gonna have a parade going into my bedroom. There are no social implications placed on atheism and it doesn't put you on any specific political spectrum. In America there are many atheist republicans as well as atheist leftists. Some people in here always post "Atheists should do xxx suport xxx". They should nothing. There is no social or political obligation that comes with being an atheist.

funny thing about that is I found atheist that identify as "conservative" and I was like "how?"
turns out atheist conservatism isn't toxic as religious conservatism, and if we look at the way we usually like conservatism, they'd still be considered as "liberal". But since they live in progressive and liberal countries, they view conservatism a lot more differently than what we do in less progressed countries or in America where they are bunch of idiotic conservative republicans
the most conservative thing I've heard those atheists say is that they're pro-life, but not all of them agreed on that, so atheism has indeed a very interesting concept in developmental irreligious countries. It definitely confirms what Ecstasy said: that atheists all have different political beliefs and ideologies of their own.
Communists for example very identified as atheists, yet they banned and jailed gays, lesbians, bisexuals and trans people. China would be another example, they banned a popular gay web series last year because of "spreading unnatural message to their society", a yet they claim to be about freedom, equality and are irreligious.

You're correct. Most people will actually assume you're irreligious, especially young folks (except in Corse though in my experience)
this is such a great video! I love it, it's very interesting, even tho I had this thoughts in my head, I never knew there was a scientific theory behind this!
Why is it that "hell" is considered inappropriate language for family friendly programs, yet it's not inappropriate to tell kids thats where they'll go if they don't eat their vegetables and do their homework.
I always have this type of conversation with people online like in this site.
SJWs: "omg what do u know about islam?!!1 ur racist!!1 check ur privilege!!1 read the quran and then speak!!!1 u kno nothin about islam!!!1" and I'm like

It is simply a power move that they use. It directly relates back to the idea of religion in of itself, which is not to question those in power.
so this morning, my aunt came to visit us after the church to have family lunch with my parents and me. After that she asked me "why didn't you go to church on xmas?" and I said because I am not religious. She then continued to mock me, saying how I will "come to my senses like most atheists do when they get older" and all that mess after I started to bring out some arguments and reasons as to why I left catholicism. After she couldn't bring out any solid arguments and started to poke fun for non believing in a man in the sky, I then started to say the same thing about how believers are sheep and ignorant then the whole family, especially my dad started to yell at me and attack me for "disrespecting them!11" and I remained calm, and said if they're so sure about their belief, why are they acting so defensive and so triggered. I didn't yell at them for being stupid, I was just laughing at the whole thing, but the minute the tables are turned, they get so triggered, literally
anyways, Tyler Preston is back! He has a new video where he also draggedT. that hypocrite Milo Y. guy

I know their sex would be "intersex" unless they chose one over the other. But what gender assignment follows having both parts?
There are a few who identify as nobinary or agender or simply intersex, but many just identify with the gender they were socialized as at the choice of their parents or doctor. And then you have some people who were socialized as one gender and who ID as the opposite binary gender, who are tans in that way. It's a very complex and personal thing, I think, for them, and why some intersex people ID as intersex, and some ID as trans, and some still ID as cis, cause to them, they're just a cis person with a medical issue.
That's why not all intersex people want to be included in the LGBT acronym, because if they're straight, they simply don't see themselves as part of that group. Often, many really do just see themselves as cis and straight and not different because that's all they've known their identity as. And I think that's a choice that needs to be respected.
ff Avril sis once my dad yelled at me asking if I was atheist but damn, I couldn't handle my whole family yelling at me
I wonder if the "Virgin" Mary looked like Dua Lipa.
it was fine, I was a little shook when all of them attacked me, I thought they're gonna kick me out of the house nnn;
