If people have "searched for god and not found anything" it's because there's nothing to find.
And of course phrases like "stupid kids", "stupid teenagers" and "damn idiotic" are *not* tags and labels, are they?
Is it that hard to accept that at 14 some peolpe have either searched for and not found a god or come to a realization that given the depth and breadth of the cosmos, a god who monitors your every thought and gets angered if you do not worship him is highly improbable.
Speaking for myself I'd say that any faith I had went out the window about the same time I found out that a global flood was more or less impossible... that was when i was 9 years old.
Secondly why would not getting the chistmas present you wanted have anything to with become an atheist, the "Angry Atheist" is largely a myth, yes there are some people out there that adopt the label atheist because they are acting out against a religious parental authority, and some who have become angered at the god of thier choice because of unaswered prayers or such, but for the most part they are a minority.
In closing prehaps people should find out a little more about others motive for they're lack of faith before lashing lashing out in a juvinile tirade...
I hate it when seemingly smart kids decide to take up a religion. What the heck happened in their lives to make them abandon reason and logic, and opt for imaginary friends and fairy tales? What, did Daddy not give them a firm base in critical thinking?
I'd make fun of the rest of the post, but it's too incoherant.
I actually didn't become a full blown athiest until I was 22 (5 weeks ago). Before that, I tried about 4.5 years of pagan/agnosticism to basically fill the void of christianity while I came to cope with the thoughts of no afterlife, etc. (my friend was depressed over the afterlife thing for a while, so I avoided it). The fact is, I gave up my faith in christianity after several months of *'thinking'* so yeah, christianity works just fine for anyone used to it until they start thinking about life.
@Mister Spak - I WAS lowered head-first by my dad into the kitchen garbage while both of my parents were laughing... or was that a dream...I was pretty young...
i hate it when stupid kids decide to be religious, what the f*ck could have happened to you in your life so far that you think god exists..what did daddy not give you the right christmas present so you felt like you needed to pray for it, or to have god smite him? You're 14 unless you have personaly experienced some serious shit or have searched for god and been deluded into believing you saw a miracle who the hell are you to call yourself that.....pffffft stupid teenagers and their damn idiotic tags and labels.
...fixed...
Cute.
These 'stupid kids' are clearly smarter than you.
And by the way, older people do not have a corner on suffering. There are plenty of young people who have seen a great deal of strife and difficulty in spite of their youth.
What the fuck could have happened in the life of someone so young to convince them that there is a God?
Let's face it.
There is a God.
Which is the weaker proposition? That's right. The latter. (I'm using weaker in the logical sense: it's weaker in that it tells us less that we didn't already know.)
what did daddy not give you the right christmas present?
No, idiot, that would just make them not believe in Santa Claus.
The atheists I know met Christians who hurt them badly.
Ever seen a hate Christmas card? I have. Sent by a racist churchgoer to HER PASTOR.
Whether the jerks that traumatize others are real Christians or not is irrelevant. They claim to be, and often claim to be the only 'real' Christians.
So people take them at their word.
I gave up believing in God and Santa at about the same time. When it was explained to me that Santa was just a pretty story to make Christmas feel a bit more special, it not long afterwards occurred to me that quite a lot of things I had believed up till then seemed awfully convenient with hindsight.
Having worked out that my presents came from the shops, and that my parents had to pay for them, it was on reflection ludicrous to then assume that they had them delivered to the North Pole so that a man with a sack and magic, flying reindeer could bring them to my house and sneak down our chimney to give them back. In a simple, intuitive way I had arrived at a version of Ockham's razor, and having done so I proceeded to apply it to all the things I had previously taken for granted. At which point global floods, talking snakes, angels, devils, virgin births, men rising from the dead and miracles didn't make the cut. If I could think of a simpler explanation, the more complex one was rejected.
So for me it was finding out that there isn't a Santa Claus that was the trigger. It's only a shame that that first step didn't come until I was 23.
Let's see... by the time I was fourteen, my parents had divorced, my mother had been hospitalized three times and had been through rehab once, and my aunt, the most religious person I knew, had already died a painful, prolonged death. So yeah. I was an atheist at fourteen. And it took me until I was seventeen to 'come out'.
So are you going to come to my house and beat me up, now?
It's called empathy. While I myself have been extremely fortunate, I've watched people I know and people I don't know suffer incredibly. No merciful God could allow such things to happen to good people, and it didn't take much looking into scientific evidence to realize that there probably isn't a God, merciful or not.
For the same reason you're a Christian. Because they want to. And by the way, who says that you have to be over 18 to define your beliefs?. Following your logic, why are you a Christian saved since 10 or 5?
This pisses me off. Firstly, there are people who by 14 have undergone more pain and hardship that this Tampon wannabe could have imagined. Second, to say that a person, child or not, is stupid because they don't agree with you is supremely arrogant. Third, how do you know he hasn't searched for God. Some people do, and come up on the other side of the fence that you expect...why do you think priests turn from their faith, schmuck? Fourth, for someone screeching about tags and labels, you're quite willing to slap a fair few on him.
i hate it when stupid kids decide to be fundamentalists, what the f*ck could have happened to you in your life so far that you believe some book written by a bunch of bronze age Arab goat-herders that tells you God's going to "save" you because some dead guy you communicate with telepathically was murdered to repay God for the magic fruit some people were tricked into eating by a talking snake 6,000 years ago ..what did daddy not give you the right christmas present? You're 14 unless you have personaly experienced some serious shit or have searched for god and not found anything who the hell are you to call yourself that.....pffffft stupid teenagers and their damn idiotic tags and labels.
While some younguns may well rebel against religion as a way of looking badass, it is perfectly possible to have experienced serious grief at that age. In fact i'd say it's doubly possible, as the early teen years tend to be when the first hints of how horrible the world can be pop up while a fair portion childhood naivety still remains.
Speaking personally, I remember sitting in my English class at age fourteen, reading "Underground to Canada" and thinking "What the fuck is wrong with humankind", when the police turned up to tell me that **TERRIBLE LIFE EVENT** had happened.
You think it's not possible for somebody to be jaded and cynical at that age? Fuck you. Go ahead and trivialise their problems. Just don't have the cheek to act surprised when your neighbourhood is hit with vandalism and detruction by disaffected youths.
Cause and effect, bitch.
Hm...I'm seventeen, I've searched for God and found nothing and no, my daddy didn't get me the right Christmas gift. instead, he got into a drunk driving accident with me in the car on Christmas Eve and put me on the back burner for years to date someone who didn't like me. Oh, and when I was nine, he cheated on my mom and swore me to secrecy, even after they got a divorce. Yeah, no, you can do what you want, but don't judge what you don't know.
I am not a stupid kid, I'm almost an adult and I'm a very proud agnostic. When you realize that knowledge has it's limits that faith can't fill, that's when you might join the rest of humanity on the 'dark side.'
And the for record, the poverty, depression, bullying, and bankruptcy, the car getting repoed, and my brother's mental disability just proved to me that if God's real, he's fallen asleep on the job.
(though to be honest, I really think I lucked out on a lot of stuff)
You're right, my daddy didn't get me the right Christmas present... He didn't get me any of his court-ordered child support, either. He did, however, give me and my mom a ticket to the welfare line, and left me with a few bruises and a still-lingering mistrust and fear for 'redneck' adult men to boot... And this was before I was even six and not counting such things as my almost-as-abusive stepfather, my cancer-scare, my numerous surgeries and ailments, my family's vast history of alcoholism, drug abuse and diabetes on both sides, my constant mistreatment in school due to my interests in the arts and my feminine nature (as well as, more recently, my lack of Christianity) and my on-and-off bouts of suicidal depression due to intense feelings of loneliness and worthlessness... All while being raised in a Christian household. And I'm not even eighteen yet. So don't you fucking talk to me about finding a god and/or 'tags and labels', you prick.
Being one of those "stupid teenagers", I hope you step on a mine. I'm an athiest-Jew, and I'm damn proud. And for your information, I realized there was no God when I poked enough holes in your Bible to make Swiss cheese.
Go to hell, since you believe in that crap.
"...what the f*ck could have happened to you in your life so far that you think god does not exist..unless you have personaly experienced some serious shit..."
Tourettes For Jeebus!
Accept Jeebus Shit-licking Harold Christ on a Rubber Fuckin' Crutch as your personal goddamn savior, bitches, so you can get your sorry ass fucking Raptured! Cocksucker!
He's not as much of a fundie as the rating said before I voted, but I do take personal offense at the "if you're under 18, you are property and don't have a brain, and are also spoilt silly" argument. Which, ah, Fundies don't have a monopoly on.
"i hate it when stupid kids decide to be CHRISTIAN, what the f*ck could have happened to you in your life so far that you think god exists..what did daddy give you the right christmas present?

Turnabout...Nuff Said!
Learn to spell and capitalize correctly.
You can in fact call yourself an atheist at 14, because, at that age, you're too fucking old to have imaginary friends.
I don't think most kids decide to be atheists, I think that they realize that they are atheists. The only thing that needs to happen is for the kid to think about whether or not God makes any sense. And not all kids are raised in religious households. I was raised in an agnostic household, and my parents didn't indoctrinate me into anything. But it wasn't like I didn't know about religion either. My grandparents were devoted Christians and I read Bible stories as a kid. I was exposed to religion, and the more I was exposed, the more stupid it seemed. Especially because I liked science, and a lot of religion seemed to contradict science and that made me doubt that any of it was true. I also read a lot of Greek myths and realized that sometimes they seemed to make more sense than what I knew about Christianity, but no one ever took Zeus or Athena seriously. here wasn't anything that all of a sudden made me turn into an atheist. I guess around the time I was in middle school I figured out that I was. But I always lied when I was asked about my religion. I was afraid I'd lose all my friends if anyone ever found out I was an atheist.
I'm glad that there are some kids out there who feel comfortable telling the truth about what they believe.
Of course, when I was fourteen, I would also have cringed to see the English language abused like this.
And my dad always got me really nice Christmas presents. I think the best was the telescope he bought me when I was nine.
I hate it when stupid kids don't capitalize and us proper punctuation.
Reading these stupid comments from stupid fundies made me "think god does not exist". That and reading the Bible. Plus, I'm 41 years old, not 14.
Idiotic tags and labels? Like Acanthus perhaps? That can't be your Christian name, can it? Were your parents horticulturists?
Yes! Stupid questioning, intelligent, freethinking teenagers, making me feel stupid with their intimidating ability to come to their own conclusions! How dare they!
“i hate it when stupid kids decide to be atheist,”
“what the f*ck could have happened to you in your life so far that you think god does not exist.”
“what did daddy not give you the right christmas present?”
“You're 14 unless you have personaly experienced some serious shit or have searched for god and not found anything who the hell are you to call yourself that.....”
“pffffft stupid teenagers and their damn idiotic tags and labels.”
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
