American Atheists create Super Bowl billboard ad at the Meadowlands

[Ghost in the Machine]

59. I can usually tell the difference between an atheist & what I call a "hatetheist"...

I like to think I coined that term right here on DU. I thought of it one day, had never seen it used before and went ahead and used it in a post on here. I've seen it used a few times since then, by other people, but before I even used it the first time, I googled the word and got zero returns on the search.

You can google it now and find a lot of uses from 2012 -2014, and I saw one use from 2010, but here's a link to my original post from 2008: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=214&topic_id=173633&mesg_id=173675

I also agree that religious beliefs can, an DO, harm others. Just look at the whack-a-doodles who kill abortion doctors, or blow up clinics, and claim that their invisible sky daddy who lives in the clouds told them to do it. Other examples can include parents who don't vaccinate their kids, or who don't seek medical attention for their kids, claiming that their god is all the healing they need and the kid just needs to pray harder and/or have more faith.

Peace,

Ghost
