        r/atheism and its consequences have been disastrous to the traditional practice of being a decent human being online

              Claiming that /r/atheism has any significant impact on the internet culture as a whole is just the silliest thing to claim without evidence or explanation of any sort. It doesn’t even say what he’s claiming they did to the internet’s culture just an implication that it was bad.

              Pretty empty table pounding statement

                This statement hardly merits the same level of proof as a scientific publication. The original post is an example of the obnoxious behavior you find on r/atheism.
                They feel superior to and smarter than religious people. In this extreme case, the poster expresses feeling superior to people who died in a stampede that took place at a religious event.
                Internet atheists who think they are superior to believers / Believers who think they are superior to atheists are two sides of the same coin.

        I read that and don’t see how it’s relevant in this case. I’m simply telling the truth. Invest your tithe into a retirement account and call it a day.

          You cannot be telling the truth because not all gods have the same rules. Also no common gods demand castration or incapacitation.
