Why aren't Atheists being Hypocritical when they parrot things like "Sky God" and "Spaghetti Monster"?

You should really pick up a dictionary and look up hypocrite.....as far as the name calling goes, if the shoe fits..you know the rest

"These things are just being heard or read by the Atheists and parroted by them, which is the same thing that some Christians do with what they are told or read and is considered being brainwashed." That's exactly the point. The arguments that Christians make for their religion sound to them exactly like the Flying Spaghetti Monster does to Christians. In other words, stupid and wrong.

I don't think you understand the term.

Those mere labels and descriptors do not require any proof. They are a shorthand way of refering to a concept.

Sure you use words that you are merely parroting, right? Or did you invent your own unique language?

I think the concepts, like "skydaddy" accurately describe the mythology that most montheists believe in. A judgmental (if nominally loving) father figure who lives, somehow, in the sky. Right?

How is that hypocricy? How is an atheist (or anyone else, for that matter), using a common shorthand term to refer to a complex concept hypocritical? Do you use the term software? Hardware? Malware, spam? Then are you not using precisely the same shorthand sort of terminology?

Oh....you think atheists believe in a diety called the FSM? LOL....

They don't. Please see the term atheist. Means doesn't believe in any deity. FSM is simply a way of noting the logical fallicies in Christian arguments.

You just don't get it. I honestly consider your god to be just as real as a monster, pixie, unicorn or leprechaun. I find it to be a perfectly valid comparison. Just because many of us agree with it doesn't mean we're all being brainwashed. Many of us were raised in religious environments and remember the songs, the poems, the art work, the stories and the children's sermons that said the same thing over and over again and some of us were punished for asking questions. THAT is brainwashing. Agreeing with each other on sky pixies is not the same.

EDIT: Seriously, I don't understand physics. How do I "believe" in physics? I don't have to believe in it; the laws of physics don't give you a choice in the matter. You can't be a conscientious objector when it comes to gravity or mass.

Hang on, everyone, I'm gonna go break the laws of physics! Here's my perpetual motion machine, I hope Einstein doesn't strike me dead with a bolt of antimatter!

Do you really not understand the difference between a parody and a genuine belief?

"But Atheists do believe in what these things represent"

What the hell does that sentence even mean, anyway? That's like saying that someone believes in what an analogy represents. It's a meaningless statement.

I believe you mean "sky daddy". There's a difference between using a popular term, and believing a claim that has no evidence. The two aren't related at all actually.

Edit:

Yes I believe any argument that can be used to support God's existence can also be used to support the existence of a cosmic spaghetti monster. I can defend the claim with logic and reason, and by example (go ahead make an argument for God and I'll apply it to the FSM). I don't believe it simply because someone wrote it.

Hypocritical: saying one thing (or demanding it of others), while doing another thing.

Parroting: mindlessly repeating something someone else said

Notice carefully: those two things are not alike in any way.

"...but atheists do believe in what these things represent..."

There are no beliefs in atheism.

Peace.

No, those are called memes. And it's a heck of a lot different to pick up urban speech than it is to be brainwashed that an angry, invisible, sky deity is watching your every move, judging you and planning to send you to a fiery pit if you don't obey him. So many theists sounds like domestic abuse victims defending their abuser.

"B b b but he loves me! He doesn't want to torture us, it's our own fault if he does because we don't obey him."

Edit: "But Atheists do believe in what these things represent so it isn't any different than believing what something religious represents."

BS. The FSM was created to prove that if you're going to teach one crazy theist creation story in a science class you need to give equal classtime to all the crazy theist creation stories. It was satire to prove a very valid point. If you're suggesting its why we became atheist you'd be far removed. I became atheist because I attended church, read the Bible and couldn't swallow that pill.

Christians believe that nonsense, and are hypocritical. Atheists are smart, and like to laugh at christians. Laughing at christians is not hypocritical. Get a dictionary.

You need to familiarise yourself with the meaning of hypocritical.

"But Atheists do believe in what these things represent so it isn't any different than believing what something religious represents"

Wow... maybe you should familiarise yourself with Logic and Reason as well...

Because atheists don't actually believe in the Flying Spaghetti Monster, they're using it to make fun of religion and show how flawed the belief structure behind them is.
