Why are atheist so bitter and sarcastic ?

well, I've noticed when I ask a question concerning jokes or riddles, I'm lucky to get 5 responses in 3 hours. say spmething about an Atheist or Homosexual and you'll get 25 responses in 5 minutes.

How many atheists do you know personally? I know numerous atheists. I've seen one or two smile occasionally. Even heard one laugh once. It was a miracle! Someone must have been tickling him or something.

Oops. Sorry, I think I am being sarcastic. ;-)

Atheists are individuals, just as theists are. Sure, some may be "bitter", many are sarcastic at one time or another, as are many theists, but you cannot and should not assume that we are all bitter all the time or all sarcastic in every aspect of our lives.

Any anger here may stem from being tired of having religionists continually trying to force their religion into government, laws, schools, etc. as well as constantly informing us we cannot possibly have any morals, perhaps not even any human value or meaning in our lives, unless we believe in a god, preferably THEIR god. We grow sarcastic partly due to seeing the same questions over and over and over and over and over and....

Thanks for generalizing about an entire group of people. It could just be that some of that bitterness you perceive comes from people constantly making wild assumptions and accusations about atheists around here. I've been told I have no morals, I have no reason to live, I believe in nothing, and I'm a communist. How am I supposed to react to that?

Not that bitterness is limited to atheists. I guess you haven't run into "No Chance Without Jesus" yet.

And it's "atheists," plural.

This is generally because they are asked offensive questions. Most questions that I see posed here are of the form "Do you still beat your wife?" Of course people will respond with anger. If you want a dialogue, then ask open-ended questions and be prepared to listen. One could also ask why christians are so self-absorbed with their answers to unasked questions. Whenever you initiate a discussion with the attitude that you are right and the other person is wrong, you will get the result of which you speak. This is not a religious issue; it is a social issue. Asking questions with preconceived answers does not contribute to useful dialogue.

What do you assume whilst persons resign the vows of their baptisms and expel the Holy Ghost from their soul? That different 10 % which you charaterize as "cool" are all the extra risky and in all threat completely possessed by capacity of the evil one. The ninety % are people who're linked to the vices of this international, they're vulnerable-willed and delivered in by capacity of the passing corporeal pleasures of terra firma; so with the intention to justify their sinful lives they are able to purely gain this by capacity of denying the fact of God and His purely decrees.

Lets check on this,,your god creates all the players, then sits down and picks the sides, then has a war, in heaven of all places, and then you say I have an attitude because I don't buy this BULL. Get a grip my friend.

Who said you have to be atheist to be bitter and sarcastic?

A lifetime of being told we're going to hell by people who believe in fairy tales, simply for pointing out that there's no evidence to support those fairy tales.

It can get to you after a while.

:)

Peace.

You can blame the Xtians that sit here attacking and belittling us for that. If you had people demeaning your beliefs all the time, wouldn't you be a tad bitter? My own mom is disowning me because i"m not xtian, wouldn't THAT make you bitter towards xtians?

I'm atheist and I answer questions with either my opinion or my logic, which ever is appropriate
