Description
Some religious people think the one reason among many other reasons to not believing in their god (s) is to attack, insult and shock them...It might seem rude of me, but if they feel insulted because I'm an atheist it's their problem, not mine...

Most people think I'm an agnostic because I'm depressed. I'm actually a rather happy person ^_^

some is the key. I think they think that because a lot of atheists DO in fact attack them for it which is sad.

Believers do just as much attacking as atheists do. It's a two-way street.

I am pretty sure the key word is SOME. If you are claiming all believers do such a thing then you are wrong because they don't, same goes for atheists.

I'd have to be an imbecile to claim something like that -_-

My dad thinks I'm not religious just to be rebellious and to flaunt it.

I insult and shock them because I'm an atheist. It's so easy to make stupid people angry and they're funny when they're mad.

Because God's not like that.

I just don't believe in any supernatural mythical entities...I don't understand why someone would feel offended or even sad about it. I don't feel offended or sad because you believe in god.
The fact is I've alreadyseem religious people act with anger or even disgust when I said to them was an atheist.

I was born in the U.S. too. You could say, "Personally attacking you and insulting you does not make me an atheist." And that's true. It makes you a bully, but not an atheist. You could also say, "To personally attack and insult you, does not make me an atheist," although it's awkward splitting the infinitive. And, to have been born in the United States does not automatically mean you have command of the English language. Far from it sometimes! Oh my god!
I used to correct my English teachers all time.

Besides being an atheist and being smart are not mutually exclusive. I've just saw a video from the Atheist Experience where an atheist decided to sue Ray Comfort over a bumper sticker that says: ""The fool says in his heart, "There is no God." They are corrupt, doing abominable iniquity." ~ Psalm 14:1". The first thing I thought was: "Wow...I never thought I would say this, but that guy is a really stupid atheist. It's just too dumb to feel offended over some passage from an ancient fairy tale book. Is this guy life is lacking some excitment or he has nothing better to do with his time?"
What I meant to say in my stamp is: I'm not atheist with the sole purpose to personally attack or insult someone who is religious.Period.

I understand what you meant.
LOL isn't almost funny how dumb some people are? It is funny until they start talking and proving to the world how dumb they are. The guy you used as an example gives atheists a bad name. It just makes you shake your head.

Yes, it is almost funny...I already met some dumb atheists that embarassed me in a way you can't imagine...

It should be, "I'm not an atheist because I personally attack or insult you."
Atheists are supposed to be smart, right?

I love it when people like you try to be know-it-alls and correct others, but end up failing miserably. I enjoy watching them make fools out of themselves. This is a great stamp, with perfect english, and you should really just get a life and stop imagining mistakes.

I just asked my former english teacher and he said what I wrote is right (he knows english more than I ever will 'cause he was born in the US, so...)

There are different strains of atheists out there, some of which are "atheists" rather than the real thing. A lot of "atheists" are what I call the "mad at god" type -- they refuse to believe in god until he gives them what they want. And a subset of that group is the "shock and insult" group, who say they don't believe in god for the sole purpose of annoying believers (particularly their mom!).
Anyone who is a real atheist -- such as yourself -- isn't going to do that stupid kind of stuff, so you are right -- if it bugs the believers that 2 + 2 = 4, not 5, there is not much you can do to help them.

George Herbert Walker Bush would say you aren't patriotic....and President Obama gave this guy a fucking MEDAL the other day.
I feel that anyone who would disparage fellow citizens based upon their religious choices should NEVER be rewarded.
