Things take an /r/unexpected turn at an irrelevant atheist anecdote: "You're an absolute moron, and I'm sorry that you have children"

I love how you think that the over 100 people who down voted you are all idiots, and refuse to accept the possibility that you don't have a clue what you're talking about.

I feel like appeal to downvotes will be an officially recognized logical fallacy sometime in the next 5 years.

Isn't that just appeal to popularity?

Benefits of growing up atheist in a household with two Salvation Army ministers for parents I guess.

I guess that fits in with the sub's title?

Man, people see the word atheist and just freak out. I'm not saying that guy expressed himself well or anything, but he definitely wasn't saying anything about edgy atheism.

I like to think he's posting nonsensical stuff to see how far it will go...

If you read further, he's making sense though lol. People are just being dicks because they think he's saying atheists are liars etc.

He's basically saying some people learn to lie because they have to. Some of my friends(they're gay and/or trans) believe that they got into acting and drama because they were always good at pretending to be someone they're not.

I don't know if the science would bear it out, but logically it makes sense.

Reddit used to upvote anything with the word Atheism in it. Then faces of r/atheism happened.
