28. I love r/atheism...

Partly because it drives apologetic theists for terrible belief systems soooo mad they just can't stop looking at it. The dissonance must be uncomfortable to maintain for them.

But also because atheists have little to no voice in a society dominated by religion, and atheists need more forums to be open. So many are in the closet, online forums give them a place to talk.

I doubt they get the irony... n/t chervilant May 2014 #1

Do you like browsing r/atheism? MellowDem Jun 2014 #20

Echo chambers are not really good places to learn, let alone think. rug Jun 2014 #29
So you never go to church? And what makes it an echo chamber? And why do you browse it then? MellowDem Jun 2014 #30
I often go to church. I end up at r/atheism occasionally by following links. I rarely stay long. rug Jun 2014 #31
Some of it is... MellowDem Jun 2014 #33
It's hard to have an echo when discussing infinite things. rug Jun 2014 #34
