So about half way through secondary school i went atheist, still tried to get forced to go mass, but after a very angry phone call from my dad the school knocked that in the bud after a while.

So ive been an atheist now about...idk about 8-9 years i guess.


My family (Mum and dad are both catholic, my sister is kind of religious, my brothers arnt) didnt give a fuck about me being an atheist either, my choice and they respected it.


Further proof that you aren't fit to rule the Pdox thread, you don't even follow the Pope :p

Where would the misotheist (worshippers of gods like Cthulhu for instance) and the maltheist (God exist but is a jerk!) fit ?

>preferring the effete Hellenistic pantheon to the virile Latin one
I'm shaking my head, profligate. :p

Latin Pantheon is thievery.

I have noticed that a lot of religions, erm, "Borrow" from each other. More specifically, indo-europeanism. A lot have an end time, a god with unlimited power that has and adversary for some reason, a dual afterlife, one for "Bad People" and one for "Good People"

That sounds more like the Abrahamic religions imho. Tho to be fair I’m not an expert in ‘pagan’ religions by any stretch, or even the Abrahamic ones either.
Most of the time I have no idea what the hell I'm doing or talking about.

”Many forms of government have been tried and will be tried in this world of sin and woe.
No one pretends that democracy is perfect or all wise. Indeed, it has been said that democracy is
the worst form of government, except for all the others that have been tried from time to time." -
Winston Churchill, 1947.

"Rifles, muskets, long-bows and hand-grenades are inherently democratic weapons. A complex weapon makes the strong stronger, while a simple weapon – so long as there is no answer to it – gives claws to the weak.” - George Orwell

That had a pretty weak OP and thus, little to discuss from the start.

Just to be clear, I’m not a professional ‘quote maker’. I’m just an atheist teenager who greatly values his intelligence and scientific fact over any silly fiction book written 3,500 years ago. This being said, I am open to any and all criticism.

‘In this moment, I am euphoric. Not because of any phony god’s blessing. But because, I am enlightened by my intelligence.’

That's the point, Abhrahamic Religions took elements from both Fertile Crescent Paganism and Indo-European religions.

The Greeks, Celts, and Germanic/Norse have an end time, gods that hate each other, and "good and bad" afterlives I.E Valhalla and Hel. A lot of these elements mixed into Judaism and Christianity as it spread to Europe.

Have you tried asking your dad? He knows tools and cars and stuff, so he probably knows how to fix everything else.

Or just any dad, at that point. I'd bet they have like, a Walmart for dads, where you can just peruse and ask questions.
