First article says believers bully atheist and push them to suicide!

Interestingly enough, one of those reasons is religious believers themselves. We live in a world dominated by people who often fervently believe ancient superstitions and who many times demonize, harass, ostracize, and disown those who lack belief in those ancient superstitions. Atheists on the receiving end of this treatment are understandably stressed and isolated. They often experience anxiety and depression as a result.


And the top comment from the second expresses my sentiments:

I don't understand that line of reasoning. I like being alive.

WTF!! shocked

Believers bully atheists? Push them to suicide?

Amazing ain't it? I guess atheists are Lilly livered. Either that or they actually take what they call "imaginary " seriously grin

Well actually I seriously don't adopt any of the church doctrines and all, I barely go to church though am morally conscious, friends call me pagan and stuffs, is there a difference between an atheist and a pagan I really wanna know because both don't believe if there's a God, I question that belief too buh I don't know what to identify with

Paganism is merely religious belief that strays from the orthodoxy of the Abrahamic religions. It's not synonymous with atheism.

You might be an irreligious person. Probably deist. Or agnostic. But it doesn't mean you're atheist. And you mustn't "identify" with anything. That makes it sound like you're searching for a new religion. Just explore things for yourself, and be open-minded and discerning, and follow your intuition. Do whatever gives you inner peace.

No, didn't know one of the owners of wiki was an atheist.

The standard here is objectivity. Cons lacks objectivity. Just read the wiki section on Christianity, to see what I mean by objectivity. Though wiki might be owned by an atheist, he does not get to use wiki to shove his atheism down ones throat. Can't say the same about the section on Christianity on cons, and their section on atheism is pure Christian fundamentalist propaganda.

But, as you have and I have not resolved our issues with subjectivity and objectivity, I doubt you'd agree.

You need to read the review about how biased Wikipedia is when it comes to anything creationism and then you would know that even it is not a respected source.

It's not that "amazing" really. I come from a Catholic family where my parents, despite all their education, sought to stop my 2 of my sisters from marrying their chosen partners, just because the men were Anglicans. It didn't matter that the guys were educated, accomplished professionals. Or that both dated my sisters throughout university. Or that they both came from our home state, Anambra, and infact one of the guys was from our LGA in Anambra. They were deemed not good enough simply because they were Anglican, despite the fact Anglicans, as an old Orthodox church have more in common with Catholics than most denominations do.
You can imagine how people who live with such bigotry like my parents would react if they learnt their son is an atheist which might as well be the same thing to them as my saying I'm a blood-sucking cultist that dines with demons.

Nigerian Christians are the most "lily-livered" people on the planet. That's why they spend all their time casting and binding and photocopying and laminating their invisible enemies everywhere.

I can confirm this to be true cuz I use juju words given to me by the God of atheism which I sacrifice babies to under instructions from our high priest Richard Dawkins. I venerate Saint Christopher Hitchens also and worship Sam Harris (my house is filled with his posters)
Do you have the holy crucifix on which the exhumed body of Darwin is to be crucified? I hear it gives more power to the atheist's jujuwords.

This is how atheist wins argument and you are asking why. They go all out to support their words with supporting evidences while you can't provide or even juxtapose your proof of suicide among the two groups for easy perusal....
Even adding insult join.

Well done
I am sorry if it sounded insulting. Just didnt see d need to start bringing up evidences. Will try that out now.

i know you are being sarcastic when bottle self praise the atheist for their brilliance. I like the way you dance along. Only few of them sees their error on time and some are just unnecessary arrogant..... I do not see how a well versed religious fellow with general knowledge will look stupid when engaging the atheist. Most of the religious guys that fall to their intelligence possess little knowledge of their own religion and likewise general knowledge.

People who study their religions more deeply in order to prove atheists wrong often end up escaping from their faith. They become atheists or deists. Religion is a house of cards. The more you know, the less you believe.

Being ignored must really hurt especially if you're an attention seeker. Even the person he's supporting and opening new accounts for and mentioning upandan hasn't quoted him once grin
Really? Must u ply this route? Must I be online 24/7? It's a general argument and anyone can take in on at any point. But is saying this also a way of avoiding d obvious truth that he backed the claim perfectly with millions of evidences?
Little childish I think.

You mean those sneaky photons? The funny thing is that scientists are devoting so much resources to study something as small as photons and it is amazing and baffling to them how they behave when "being watched" and it makes me wonder if light itself is a product of chance or there is intelligence woven into its very fabric.

Yes I've read a lot about him over the years and I'm very curious how you connected his suicide to his "faith"

This is exactly why I kept asking for names, to scrutinise the bullsheet claim made about dead people by apologists/fundies

let's hear it, and maybe while you're at it you can also connect Chris Benoit's suicide to his "faith"

also connect Chester Bennington's suicide to his faith too
