I was on Yahoo!Answers trying to get some help about a game, and of course asking a question docks your points so I answered a few to gain them back. I then came across this little gem here;
"Why do atheist bash Christians?"
Ahem. What.
The original question reads as follows;
"For some reason atheist are so hypocritical. they say "Dude stop trying to force you're religion on everyone" AND THEN all the do is try to do the exact same thing. either by bashing the hell out of Christianity or just doing exactly what they contradict by forcing their religion down peoples throat. (Yes Atheism is a religion) i just don't get it. so much ignorance."
And later, they edited their question to also say this as well;
"wow still so much ignorance. first off i didn't bash any Atheist. it doesn't bother me at all. i love EVERYONE regardless. i just always seem to experience hateful remarks from Atheist about my beliefs even if i don't say or mention religion. and i didn't say a curse word. i said "Hell" which is in te bible and therefor can't be claimed as a curse word. like i said SO MUCH IGNORANCE
Yes atheism is a religion. Believers in atheism pin their faith on unscientific theories of how all things began. They generally worship their false science. A lot seem to also worship themselves considering themselves as God's. In actual fact though if you are not worshiping the one true God, then you are giving your allegiance to Satan. They also believe in evolution which is nothing more than an unproven , unprovable theory. You really have to envy there faith though, for it takes much more faith to believe in the evolutionary lie than it does to believe in God and His Creation."
So I'm still practicing being more tactful towards people like this, and left this as an answer;
"Here, maybe you need a little assistance with this from an actual Atheist.
(1) There are assholes on both sides. Obsessive Christians attack Atheists and Obsessive Atheists attack back. If only we could just be peaceful with one another...but there you go then.
(2) Please find a dictionary. The literal meaning of "atheism" is "without theism" or "without a religion." We don't all put our faith in the same scientific ideas and theories; we have the liberty of choosing what we believe and what morals we follow.
And this is just an opinion from me, but you claim to not want to offend anybody and then you turn around and call our structure of belief "lies." I have a feeling you actually fished for all these "attacks" on your beliefs by atheists you've run across. So a bit of advice? Why not keep religion to yourself for a little while and talk to people about things of less depth; you might find a lot of new friends that way."
I'm proud of my own response, but there were definitely some colorful ones up there. Like these.
"Because they're trying to forbid someone get married, make they religion mandatory in schools, force someone to have a child, refuse to punish pedophiles, teach Africans that condoms are bad. When they stop meddling into government, schools and healthcare, I'll stop bashing them." - Mr. Deer.
"I couldn't help but notice that you didn't ask why Christians bash atheists, which happens all the time here. Is it somehow okay for Christians to bash others? Are they just "telling the truth" when they compare us to cockroaches and rats scurrying away from the light, or saying that we can't truly be considered human?" - lainiebsky
"You are doing the same thing right now." - star shine
Just thought I'd share this with you guys; it's about time I posted a blog that wasn't about a petition of some sort.

Ottawa Shooting! My thoughts...
At 9:52, just 45 minutes from my hometown, a gunman opened fire near Parliament Hill (specifically at War Memorial). The soldier who was shot is not reported dead, as is the shooter. Still, there were about three suspects. Parliament is currently on lock down, as are many schools in the area. Me? I'm pissed.
The suspect was described as 5-9 to 5-10, overweight and wearing a dark jacket. At least one witness said he wore an “Arabic scarf.”*
Interestingly, a 25 year old was killed after hitting two soldiers (RCMP) with his car, after being arrested and having his passport seized upon trying to enter Turkey. He was known for b
Submission rules.
A few submission rules for the #FFRFonDA (https://www.deviantart.com/ffrfonda) . Nothing too irritating and this is mainly so that new members of the group can more easily understand the groups goals. These can also be found on the homepage of the group.
Submissions must be on atheist/agnostic topics as that is the purpose of this group. This includes political topics with a particular emphasis on church State separation. See group info for more specifics.
Please submit deviations into the appropriate folder. If you accidentally submit them to the wrong folder we have to move them and that can be a pain. :)

Welcoming the New Founder
And a farewell from me :D it's been an experience and I'm happy to have been a contributor and founder for the time I was. Thanks so much :D
Please give a warm welcome to OpinionsProfile (https://www.deviantart.com/opinionsprofile) your new founder from now on. Good luck!
New Founder Needed
Honestly, I've got too much going on in real life to spare time on clubs on deviantART. Honestly, I'm just about done with dA in general. I'm giving up my spot as the founder of this group, and so I need a replacement :)
I'd prefer the new founder to already be a club member, and perhaps someone with admin experience if that isn't too much to ask.
I won't be closing the group, so there isn't a deadline by which you should message me, but I'd really prefer it to be done by either the end of March or the middle of April. I don't check my dA as often as I used to, so please send a note as soon as you can if you're interested.

"...i just always seem to experience hateful remarks from Atheist about my beliefs even if i don't say or mention religion."
-Not only are those following the atheist religion completely uninformed, they're also psychic!
"...i said "Hell" which is in the bible and therefore can't be claimed as a curse word. like i said SO MUCH IGNORANCE"
- I love this. Hell as in the biblical hell is fine to say in church, true. But stub your toe on the pulpit and seethe "Oh hell!" and watch the disapproving looks. There is such a thing called context, which clearly this person is too enlightened to need.
"...if you are not worshiping the one true God, then you are giving your allegiance to Satan."
- Telling people you worship Satan just because you don't follow their particular religion is sometimes the only way a person like this feels any worth. I suspect they will grow up to preach on street corners about how ignorant we all are and will go to hell unless we become just like them.
Heaven must be one hell of a lonely place.
It's ironic really. This person clearly needs affirmation from other people to feel at one with their god, which is kinda missing the whole point of following a god, especially this blindly. Odd, but entertaining.
