just pulling one example out of many from the essay:

So if you believe in a god, you’re forced to just accept it as a ‘test’ and there’s no option of learning from it and helping others with it? Only if you don’t believe in god is there less possibility of suffering in the future? Maybe this applies to that tiny tiny majority of nutjobs who don’t even bother to get medical help for their children, but YOOHOO mr. atheist not every religous person is ****ing insane.

I think he’s talking about his personal experience and not saying that you HAVE to be an atheist in order to have those things. I myself didn’t interpret it to say “this is a list of reasons why I’m better then you”, more as a response to the tons of comments directed against atheists like “atheists have no morals”, etc.

Of course there are almost as many atheist fanatics as there are religious ones, so I don’t know. Log in to see images!
