RE: STEEM EXCLUSIVE - Why Are Atheists So Hateful?

in #threespeak5 years ago

It is great that you feel you can be free to express yourself on Steem and 3Speak. That is one of the objectives of this platform. I hope you do have more exclusive content here as it will bring more people to Steem. If you know anyone who needs an account then I can create one for them. Just DM steevc on Twitter with the details. I can delegate some SP to them or you can do it as you have a bit now. I recommend that you power up all the Steem you have to increase your vote.

I expect you will lose your delegation eventually, but you are building up some SP. Bringing in more supporters can help you keep earning and they get to be part of this amazing community.

I do not hate religions as such. Those are just ideas, but the problem is with some of their believers who either exploit the faith of others or who use it as an excuse to do terrible things to others. We see this all over the world with some of the worst examples happening around IS. If people need to believe in some deity to get through life then go for it, but do not force that on others. I shared a room with a Christian guy at university and we got on okay, but at the end of the year he wrote me a letter saying he feared for my soul. Well I don't have one, so so worries! I don't need some holy book to tell me how to be nice to people.

Yeah, sometimes religious people are actually well-meaning.. and at times their beliefs might seem harmless, but in the case of Iran executing atheists, religious beliefs are definitely harmful.

I would argue though that all ignorance is harmful and the LARGE majority of religions spread ignorance.
