I Am An Atheist: Correspondence

I am no longer updating these pages. If you want to read current correspondence (and my responses), take a look at the IAmAnAtheist Blog. Thanks!

well, mum would be a bit difficult since she has been dead for a couple of years now, maybe you could notify my mother in law instead? And could you also warn them people in Salt Lake City (latter day saints?) that I do not wish to be baptised after death? Is there a lawyer who can sue them for me in case they intend to? And please send a note to the United Nations, since I really believe one day they will be the world governement? I may be an atheist but I do have ideals.

Someone in your correspondence section asked if s/he is now a "double atheist" (as s/he was already an atheist before visiting your site)... and I'm worried too. If atheism is NOT believing in a god (a negative), then this is now two negatives... making a POSITIVE... ah, CRAP. Now I have to be a xian? No way!!

I am an agnostic and am slightly offended by your site.

Happy Accident? Definitely one of the possibilities. But I prefer to quote the wonderful Iris Dement - "People always wondering what and where we all came from. People always wondering where we gonna go when the whole thing's done. Well, no one knows for certain and so it's all the same to me. I think I'll just let the mystery be."

You made Baby Jesus cry. However, Adult Jesus flashed a thumbs-up and said "Rock on, honky-tonk!"

You don't have to inform congress or the others on my Athiest status, I already took care of it years ago.. In fact I just recieved my glow in the dark badge, my "Help! Jehova's Witnessess!" whistle, and my handy-dandy decoder ring, the ring came in sorta a teal color though, and I was hoping for silver, so if any of the other people who's info gets sent to congress get a silver one ask if they'll trade with me cause I mean.. Your not a REAL atheist unless you have a silver decoder ring, am I right?

You atheists - I bet you even love your family and hate your enemies.

I've been an atheist for a long time, but it's nice to have the service of contacting the Library of Congress---Appreciate that. My mom's dead, so by definition of atheism, you can't notify her, but you're welcome to let my dad know. (I've told him, but the reminder won't hurt.)

Christians tell me that Jesus exists because he's in the Bible. I say that the Bible's a book, and there's books about Batman, but that doesn't make him real.

By the same token, a woman once asked me,"If there's no God, then who was Jesus?" My response: "Who's Superman? He's a fictional character!" Love the site. Thanks.

Information on what happens if your mother is deceased has been added to the FAQ.

That's funny. Because by accepting my browser's query for your web site, *YOU* agreed to become a Buddhist, and also to certain monthly financial obligations towards myself.

Congratulations - you have been ensnared by the hand of Fate.

But...but...you don't believe in God...?

...um...

...the god you don't believe in is totally gonna kick your ass for that...or something.

Yeah. Jesus said that. You better watch out, homes.

What are the chances that I can have cabbage rolls for dinner?

If I send someone else to this site, do I get a free toaster?

Oh! well...um.. ta!

Please do not tell my mother

O rly? Yuo can't deeni that God made the world so perfectly. How can cancer, plague and ghonorrea have come about by meer chanse? I mean beautiful sunsets and kittens.

I'd already sold my soul to someone else for drug money, but I guess I can take it back from them and ritualistically burn it..

If your Chrisianity is right to you, and Buddhism is right to Buddhists, and Hinduism is right to Hindus, and Cathlicism is right to Catholics, and and the ancient times believed in monotheism, and Satism is right to Satists, and Muslims think their religion is right, how can you say that what YOU believe IS right, and what everyone else believes is wrong? They all have "proof", but still you believe that what your mommy and the church told you IS right, and everyone else is wrong. And you wonder what's wrong with the world today!

All I can say in dealing with your philooiphy is wow, you really are a friggin idiot.

Cristians don't post shit.

ok, that's dumb

The new testament was written by people who knew Jesus
personally, that's a historical fact. In other words they were
eyewitnesses, just like you have in a modern court case!

If a whole bunch of people pointed out that they'd seen someone
commit a murder then that person would be convicted of the crime.
Well, a whole bunch of people saw that Jesus was the son of God and
most people who are exposed to that idea BELIEVE IT!

This is truth, it's been proven beyond reasonable doubt and if you
don't beleive it's because you are stuborn and immoral. Jesus is very
clear about what happens to people like you, you burn for eternity in
eternal fire. Can you imagine that? An eternity of agony with the
knowledge that it will never end, that there's nothing you can do to
change your fate. Accept Jesus and become a decent person, that way
you can avoid a fate worse than anything you can imagine.

We've added the "witness" and "majority vote" topics to our Arguments Against Atheism page ("threatening with hellfire" and "atheists are immoral" were already there). Thanks! We also recommend that this writer read his bible a little more carefully -- a good hunk of the New Testament was supposed to have been written by Paul, who never met Jesus.

This site is hilarious. I am a Christian, but I still respect your right to disagree with my beliefs,and can appreciate your humor in doing so. I doubt this will get posted in your comments section since I haven't told you that you will burn in Hell or to F yourself. Instead I'll go with something you'll probably find far more repugnant: You'll be in my prayers.

it must be reassuring for you to know that your whole life is based on nothingness and faith in your own obviously perfect wisdom. i read through your arguments for atheism - they were quite good for someone with a closed and un-critical mind. i also noted that you only attacked those of the Christian faith - maybe you have some bad childhood memories that you should get help with. this wonderful site that you have spent so much time and money on must bring you great joy. i wounder if, all things considered, you could have spent your valuable time doing something more constructive than trying to fight the truth with your child-like intelligence?

We've added "bad experiences as a child" to our Arguments Against Atheism page. Thanks!

you guys are some sick indiviuals . we will pray to GOD that you find the TRUTH may you be blessed by GOD'S POWER

Flanders says this is bullcrap! bullcrap I tell ya!! Well... acctually he sounded more like "didli-something-that god hates something..."... So instead I just went to Moe's, got drunk, and talked it over with God himself; he agrees with me that Flanders is a jerk.

FUCK YOU.

now i'm an Atheist is my marraige still legal???

Thanks: I declared myself an atheist years ago, but thoughtlessly neglected to notify the Library of Congress. If Christianity were such a great barometer of morality, there'd be a lot more vegetarians in this country. And gay marriage of course.

What?!? No warning? Just when I'd managed to work the entire Egyptian pantheon into a life of daily devotion and good works... ... I wonder if dead people frequently think this.

Will you still tell the library of congress that I visited this web site even if I was an atheist before I visited it? Telling the LOC is a provision of the (un)Patriot Act, isn't it? Stupid Patriot Act.

This site sucks.

I am a dyslexic agnostic who stayed up last night wondering if there really is a Dog. Your site didn't help.

Jesus H. Christ! What an inconvenient thing to have happen. Now I'm an atheist? They have no holidays, no long-term reilgious rites that give you an excuse to do mushrooms, no real cultural history to bind their community together in ignorance. And now I have to accept personal responsibility for my actions? No way Jose! I'm going to dig deep into my Bible (and maybe my Koran, (Qur'an?) how DO you spell that thing?) and find a way to negate what has just happened. It's just too inconvenient to accept. But thanks for trying.

Thank you so much for this site! I was wondering how I could stand against the onslaught of fervent people who believe anything they're told with enough authority. Little did I realize that all I had to do was click on a link and arrive at the site that cures any weakness to such delusions! I am forever grateful.

You think you're funny, but what if a child saw this sight?

Do you know of a good way to remove Jesus fishies without ripping off the paint. Damn logic done ruined my 1971 Pinto.

You evil bastard, see you in...oh never mind!

I didn't realize that being an atheist came with all those rules. Isn't there some religion/non-religion that doesn't impose moral guidlines on me? I've already broken half of those! (Although, I'd never admit which half)

I really don't think this is funny. You are going to upset a lot of people for no good reason. You are just angry and should keep it to yourself.

Thanks for the unsolicited public proclamation. You just saved me a lot of postage stamps.

I was an atheist before seeing your site, does that mean I'm now a double-atheist?

Hey, it really worked. Until today I believed that the Bible was true, "word for word, cover to cover"! Then, as if by good fortune or the Grace of G...no, scratch that last...I stumbled over your website and was instantly freed from my insanity! Thank you sir, for being there to liberate confused people like me!

You are gay.

I was wondering...since I've long been an agnostic, and now I've visited your site, do I too have to convert? Or do I get a waiver? I don't know...like I said, I'm an agnostic...

Thanks for clearing the board for me. I was concerned that I would be stuck with a religion and a god I didn't want. Thanks to this site, I now have my free will back from the believers and am now one of the thinkers!

Sorry, I disagree - there is nothing happy about this accident. Except for some of the bits where whipped cream is involved. Oh, and parrots are kind of cool too.

"Don't be greedy"? This violates the rationally proven tenets of Randian Objectivism. Your website does not represent all atheists, just secular humanists. Please change it if you wish to be consistent (#9: Don't lie about stuff. ).

I believe one can be full of self interest without being greedy in the "seven deadly sins" sense. If you disagree, then I am at worst incorrect, not lying.

I didn't give you permissiong to WRITE to ANYONE about me! Take me off your mailing list IMMEDIATELY or I will contact your ISP andhave you BANNED!!!

This is completely offensive. I did not ask for this service and I do not want it.

You and your excuse for rejecting our Lord and Savior can go to hell. And you will!

What a great first letter!
