I used to like Ricky Gervais, until I realised what a pretentious cocksmoker he is.

This is why I try to keep myself from learning too much about the people behind the shows/books/movies/etc that I like because when they're an arrogant pissbag, it's hard to separate them from the work they create. At least when they're still alive.

So lately I've been browsing a website called Quora. It's basically just a question and answer site; you can ask a question on any topic you'd like and chances are at least one of Quora's many members will be knowledgeable enough to answer it. Sounds cool, right?
That's what I thought until I began to stumble upon Quora's community of devout atheists. Seriously, I don't think I've seen so many fedoras concentrated in one place (save Reddit, of course). If anyone asks anything even remotely pertaining to religion, expect there to be at least person high on euphoria who will say something along the lines of "That's not important, because religion is all just made-up fairytales." They don't offer anything useful or insightful whatsoever, all they do is shitpost.
Let's see some examples...
Yep, the Roman Catholic Church is totally just as bad as ISIS and Al-Qaeda. Pope Francis = Osama bin Laden. Okay.
I'm actually pretty sure that, in at least one point of Christianity's two millennia of existence, that a Christian has won a debate with an atheist. Especially if the atheist was anything like these people.
I can't even comment on this. I'm too busy picturing David looking like this:
BUT THAT'S LITERALLY WHAT MOST OF THE ATHEISTS DO ON THE SITE, THEY'RE JUST MORE SMUG ABOUT IT oh fuck it, I'm not gonna get mad about the hypocrisy here.
Anyway, probe Quora if you want to find more examples! It's really a shame, because I want to love Quora, but these douchebags have infected the entire site. At least the fedoras on r/atheism usually keep to themselves.

I can understand someone becoming an atheist and getting uncomfortable seeing people talk about religion if they grew up with families who were super fundamental and have bad memories of religion being used in the house to put the fear of God into the kid so they won't behave out of line. Like that shit fucks kids up.
But there's a difference between being uncomfortable with religion and being a huge douchebag to people. In a way it reminds me a lot of SJWs where they condemn people who are cis, white, male or straight except with more neckbeards

I may as well ask, how is the Catholic church the oldest terrorist organization? Would the crusades have to do with it? As for defining normal, one has to ask, what if the person is just asking if the pope is normal compared to other leaders, especially leaders that wouldn't be keen on other groups and such. With that other question, about Christian's losing debates to Atheist, what sort of debates are we talking about? The "debate against atheist" sounds a bit vague that one could interpret that as something else other than the existence of God. That could just debate could just be over ethics in gaming journalism or McDonalds vs Burger King for all we know. Also, with that last one, one can just assume that Quora may as well ended up being an echo-chamber for some groups. In the end, one may as well just say the whole Euphoric Atheist thing can just be a dick measuring contest against other religious nuts.

Exactly. There's a huge difference between "That makes me uncomfortable, can we please talk about something else?" and throwing out terms like "fairytales," "imaginary friend," "make-believe," etc. As much as these types of atheists like to pretend that they're tolerant and open-minded, they're really not. They always use the "we're mad because religion is constantly forced down our throats!!!" excuse, but that doesn't justify their behavior towards religious people who are harmless.
Instead of having a live and let live mentality, these assholes honestly seem to resent anyone even remotely religious for believing in something they don't. Kind of like the fundamentalists they hate.

Looks like a shop to me. Most of the words don't even have anything that seems to indicate irritation from the tattoo, and the words don't seem to be on actual skin. There would be more distortion if they were actually on skin.
It seems particularly unrealistic where it hits the ankle, where the skin is very thin and, for one thing, it is very painful to get tattoos in that location, and for another, they'd be a lot more irritated-looking.
This just does not look like a new tattoo.
Maybe I'm judging from Phil's diseased looking sketchlord tats, though.

Nah, it looks like it could be a real tattoo, if it's healed down after a day or two. You're right in that it doesn't look absolutely fresh off the chair, but it doesn't look 100% shooped.

In the end, the good deed itself is what matters. Who gives a shit why you're doing it?
What, if someone helped you get up when you fell and he said it's what god would want, you're gonna lie back down? This is just stupid, like that one who changed his doctor because she's a Muslim. Assuming it's true and he's not just making shit up to gain creds

A recurring trend with this particular type of atheist is that there's some sort of bad personal experience with religious people that affects their perspective on theology. As much as these people want you to believe otherwise, they're not atheist because they're "enlightened" or "beyond silly superstitions", they just had really shitty experiences with religion and use atheism as a way to rebel against their upbringing. This isn't necessarily the case for all of them, but the more euphoric ones (The Amazing Atheist in particular) show this particular trend.

He's been inactive for God knows how long (hurhurhur), but straightd0pe pretty euphoric himself. The guy is (or was) pretty well known for his videos about fakesagan and Amazing Atheist, but then you see the shit he makes:
He's basically blaming religion for schizophrenic dumbasses killing their own children, as if religious people murder babies on a regular basis.

I agree, I know a guy who was a fedora wearing euphoric atheist before it was even a thing. He used to debate street preachers before meeting up with friends at bars. I couldn't understand why he was like that until he mentioned that his parents were in a cult for most of his childhood.

All of those callout posts are amazing.
Seriously, why do people do shit like this to their bodies? Even if OP (hopefully) grows out of his fedora phase, that tattoo is going to serve as a permanent reminder- to both him and everyone else- of what a douchebag he was. Of course, it's entirely possible to get rid of tattoos, but that's a very long, painful, expensive process. But hey, hopefully OP has

They don't know. They just want to sound edgey and let everyomeveryone else know just how superior they are because they don't adhere to a religion.

I'm sure that many euphoric atheists couldn't wait to whine about the Pope's visit to the U.S. I only found two so far, though.
Yes, fedora-tipper, the Pope is probably an atheist. Whatever helps you sleep at night
At least one was called out.

By the sound of the Pope being a manipulator, that would mean he'd have some ulterior motive. If he really proves himself to actually be a good person and all, should that mean him being a manipulative figure still hold ground? Also, you know who else believes the pope is an evil manipulator of billions? Fundamentalist Christians. The atheist is sharing the same thought as fundies that believe about the Catholic church.I'm sure that many euphoric atheists couldn't wait to whine about the Pope's visit to the U.S. I only found two so far, though.
