Am I a bad Atheist....worrying signs?

Sometimes, when I read a question posed by an obviously troubled adolescent, whose only way of coping is through their faith, I don't have the heart to add to their misery by debunking their beliefs. Do any other Atheists feel the same way? or is everyone fair game? I dunno, I'd feel like I'd just stepped on a puppy!

    No, I feel the same way. Being considerate & empathetic does not make you "bad", no matter what your beliefs are.

    I make it a point to never answer or interfer with a question posted by a young Christian to the Christian community on R & S.

    How I wish some of the fundies would also observe this courtesy and refrain from making catty remarks when myself or another wiccan/witch/heathen or Druid posts a serious question.

    Source(s): Perhaps in the case you describe its best to answer privately via email. I have done that many times before. A recent case was with a young lady on R & S (no names..) who continually posts about non-Christians and everyone else as "satanic". So far, no response back from her.
  • No, you're not a "bad atheist". If someone's faith is a coping mechanism, who am I to deny someone that? I also believe faith is a very personal matter, and as long as someone doesn't try to make me live in accordance with his/her beliefs or to legislate his/her morality, I'm not going to try to talk people down from their delusions unless someone asks me.

  • The only thing that makes you an atheist is a lack of belief in deities. Your behaviour has nothing to do with it.

    do you desire to understand the easily worst sign? you're all biasing your solutions off of particular human beings you realize. The zodiac solar sign of a individual is a frequency interior of oneself that is affecting features, actual sort, and the sensation one emits. One's sign does no longer in fact make certain features, regardless of the indisputable fact that it does impact them in a manner in the direction of the meant determinations. "Worst" is an exceedingly super term, yet particularly the adverse issues conventionally seen are: Selfishness Stupidity Annoyance Blandness Evilness Stubbornness maximum persons of human beings are reeking with those features regardless of their sign. If 12 human beings all with distinctive zodiacs indications have been one hundred% like their zodiac sign devoid of different features, they might have distinctive heights interior of each of those faults. yet from an purpose attitude, in spite of the fact that they are all worse otherwise, they do no longer look to be a much better fee of worse than one yet another. For the universe plus understanding develops twelve harmonics of differentiation yet all divisions are equivalent. From one be conscious to itself greater on the musical scale is 12 away, on the rainbow counting mixing primarys with tertiarys there are 12 colorings. A sphere has 6 easy factors relative to the XYZ axis and a pair of things to make up one element relative from the middle to the tip of a a million/2 axis, 6x2 is 12. There are 12 zodiac indications. pink isn't comparable to blue, yet whether or no longer this is worse is an opinion. this is only as plenty a shade, yet in a distinctive direction. each sign has a grand up and down, basically like each thing else interior the universe. So what's the worst zodiac sign? Is there one in any respect? definite of direction there is, regardless of the indisputable fact that it is your opinion! i will't say I also have a least renowned sign, I see the useful in all of them and basically see the adverse as something they might artwork on. So be useful to no longer declare a demonstration because of the fact the worst sign, (until eventually concerning a particular ingredient, which incorporate selfishness, or potential to kayak or something), quite declare it as your least renowned. i basically can no longer stand you adult men making human beings sense like **** for the sign they are. in case you throw in that this is basically your individual selection that'll completely ease the bite.
