You've heard of mansplaining and gringosplaining, now get ready for...

...atheistsplaining, where theists (god-believers) "correct" atheists about what atheists believe and what their worldview is, and overall claim to know what the atheist believes better than the atheist does.

  • "Everyone believes in God, you're just suppressing it in your unrighteousness!"
  • "Atheists are atheists because they're racist and don't want to admit that Hinduism is true!"
  • "All Latinos are Culturally Christian without exception because you can't escape Catholicism in Latin America!"
  • "Atheists believe that the universe came from nothing!"
  • "Atheists have no reason to not rape and murder!"

Oooh, someone didn't like getting called out for bad behaviour!

if you want me to stop calling out hypocrisy and racism I've experienced from your community then clean house yourself and hold people accountable when they say stuff like "All Latinos are Culturally Christian without exception because you can't escape Catholicism in Latin America!".

You either don't understand how tags work on Tumblr or you're trying to say that atheists shouldn't be allowed to speak. So which is it?

Tags on Tumblr are used to find posts relating to the topic of the tag. If my post references Judaism it's entirely reasonable to tag my post with the Judaism tag so my followers and I can find the post in the future.

You don't get to gatekeep what personal life experiences I'm allowed to talk about.

Several Jewish theists on this site have said that I, an Indigenous Latina, MUST be culturally Christian simply by virtue of my ethnicity because they said so (alongside hurling insults and suicide baiting when I said I wasn't).

Because apparently all Latinos are exactly the same and are part of a hive mind.

I really hate how people who have a religion belittle non-religious people. I'm sorry I believe in evidence, I don't want to be gullible in life.

“i really hate how people who don't have a religion belittle religious people“

Yeah, well, I really hate how religious people can legally fire me for not belonging to a religion. 

I really hate how religious people force people who don’t have a religion to be interned into mental institutions because “everyone needs God”. 

I really hate how religious people behead, mutilate, and imprison people who don’t have a religion simply due to the fact that they disagree with them on whether their imaginary friend exists. 

I really hate how religious people disown their kids if they find out their kids don’t have a religion. 

I really hate how I have to live in constant fear that my community will find out I don’t have a religion because I might get attacked, fired, and lose friends and family simply for not thinking like they do.

“I’m sorry I believe in something”

So believing in the supernatural is the only thing anyone can ever have a belief about? 

That’s utterly asinine

It’s like saying “If you don’t like ham sandwiches then you don’t like anything”. 

“I don’t want to be bitter in life.” 

It’s sad that you believe that your happiness is dependent on the existence of the supernatural. 

It’s arrogant that you think the only way to be happy is to believe in the supernatural and that you can’t be wrong so therefore anyone who doesn’t belong to a religion must be unhappy because your way is the only way.

Bitter? About what? Why would I be bitter about not believing in the supernatural? That’s like saying I should be bitter because I don’t believe in mermaids and leprechauns. Why would that make me bitter?
