I have never sinned

It is freeing to recognize that I have never sinned and it pissed Christians off when I say this. To clarify, in Christianity sin is not simply "the bad things we do" it is specifically an offense against god. God does not exists so i have never sinned against him.

I've been an atheist for for 16 years but it was only recently that I realized this distinction. It short-circuits the guilt based evangelism. It forces the christian to first demonstrate that god exists before they can convince me I have sinned and need to be saved from that sin. And to say the least, they are ill equipped to demonstrate the existence of god.

For a bunch of so-called atheists, yous sure do spend a lot of time thinking about god 😂

In civilised countries, you know how you can tell if someone is atheist or religious?

You can't.

You don't talk about that shit

Same goes for politics

There are dozens of churches in my town. There are religious messages everywhere, from billboards to plaques. There are Christian radio stations people play music from when I go into their businesses. Religious people knock on my door trying to convert me.

Of course I spend a lot of time thinking about it. You people shove it down my throat every chance you get.

Best pun in the thread, and the edgy teenagers missed it :)
