Are Atheists Good People part 5



      This might be my last installment on atheism. I really enjoyed writing for you guys; it has been as awesome as having DirecTV , with a great signal, in stormy weather. Nevertheless, someone might be wondering what I left out of the last story. As the percent of people suffering from obesity increases, so will the amount of intolerant people. The New York's soda policy did not hold up (Here you will see some charts about obesity). That's just food for thought. So what now? I never told you whether or not atheists are good or bad people [drum roll].
      Personally, my bothersome issues with atheists are few and slim. There are two things. The first problem I have is with quantities of atheists and religious people. I strongly detest when people believe in something and do not know why. Atheists or religious, one should be able to say: so and so does not rub well with me, and this is why. One should research his or her grievances. Nevertheless, atheists that choose not to be happy saddens me. It's cool to believe what you believe. However, if you are worrying every night about death and barely get any sleep, remember this: You choose not to believe in a 'possible' white lie. Some religions have to be wrong, right? I want you guys, regards of skin color, ethnicity, education level, income, or religion to be happy – notice I didn't say political. My old roommate talked to me about how he thought his life had no purpose. He believes the world will be destroyed in the near future (if not by one scenario the next) . He told me his hopes and dreams. These hopes and dreams, he boasts about being able to achieve, are, from what he says, unreachable. What I could not understand was that he believed that he could achieve his dreams, but he unknowingly says, with confidence, he will never reach them -- cause the world ending. Meanwhile, he works extremely hard on all his college work. He vows to make it out of VSU. However, if you thought the world was ending, wouldn't you try to have the time of your life (not just cramped in the dorm room all day studying) and try to get the best out of every day? He reminds me of a hamster running on a wheel. He runs on his wheel, knowing his training is pointless. Does he believe his suffering will achieve something – derived from the Catholic faith? I obliviously forgot to mention, he was raised Catholic.

Hey guys! If the first story kept your interest, you will crave this one, almost as much as LeBron wants another ring. If you are just tuning in, you should read part 1 and 2; disclaimer number one, this is not about Lebron James. With that out the way, let’s tackle our second disclaimer; “all atheists are bad.” This is simply not true. All religious people are not good. In every crowd there are some goats mixed with the sheep – meaning, from a distance you cannot tell whether or not they are what they proclaim to be. Luckily, after getting closer and more personal, one can clearly differentiate sheep from goats. In other words, who walks the talk. That still leaves this question: why do atheists, as a whole, receive a bad rep? “It is natural to believe in God, so more intelligent individuals are more likely to be atheists.” (psychologytoday) Atheists, for the most part, believe they are more intelligent beings than the average churchgoer. They have the statistics and numerous websites to back them up. “Those who identify themselves as 'not at all religious' in early adulthood have a mean childhood IQ of 103.09, whereas those who identifythemselves as 'very religious' in early adulthood have a mean childhood IQ of 97.14.”
           While the numbers are indisputable, whether or not these statistics are skewed is another article. Here’s a hint, only 5 percent of the population identifies as an atheist. The point being, nobody, regardless of religion, savors the words that label them as three-string (referring to education levels). Some people cannot handle being second-string; it's all about being first-string. Nonetheless, the tea is only stirred further with a heart attacking (because of the weight of sugar on the spoon) spoonful of obnoxiousness (“You Believe in God?” followed by ha-has and you must be delusional). Then you have it, a steaming hot, bitter sweet tea that advertises all atheists as repugnant (equaling their bad reputation). While this is suitable for some (an atheist who is obnoxious and part take in belittling others), it is not for others. Besides, the same can be said for churchgoers, some treat atheists with the same hand shaking (because of weight) spoonful of obnoxiousness; in the process, they spill over the bag of sugar – that being where the obnoxiousness is coming from – because it's God's will (See Hate Here); in doing so, religious people only push the atheists further away. Nonetheless, others, like the other atheist , do not – they know that all sugar is not good for them. 

One out of three Americans are obese. The same can be said for the portion of atheists and religious people that are extremist (one out of three of them are extremest) – I'm referring to my pun at the end of post one. Two-thirds of us (atheist and religious people) are tolerant and most likely in shape. Oddly enough, the tolerant usually never meet. This begins the unraveling as to why this argument exists."Are atheists good people." The intolerant have nothing but synthetic accusations; the tolerant (who never meet the oppositing) cannot swallow it and ensues on a Google search for confirmation – maybe how you found this article. So, who was the first extremest and how was he or she created? That's a question that may never be answered. We do know is this: Chances of atheists and religious folks agreeing on the creation or origin of anything, are as likely as Elvis Pressely and Tupac doing a duet in 2014. Atheist might think less than two-thirds of religious people are tolerant. However, just like the statistic for the education levels, the statistics might seem misleading. One has to remember, if 73 % of people are religious, 5% are atheist, and the population is about ten million, there would be 2,409,000 intolerant religious people and merely 165,000 intolerant atheists That's one-third of their population, hence why I said the statistics about atheist being more intelligent were skewed. There is a great opportunity for odd balls to be part of the selection process, with a larger population. The next blog will be about something key, which I purposely left out of this one. Hope to have you read again. Please comment!
