Does that mean the flying spaghetti monster could be real too?

Does that mean a magic monkey-like creature who is purple and has a refrigerator for a hand and a palm tree tail that created the universe could be real also?

Yay!

Don't have any religious beliefs so can't really be offended. If anything the only thing that could possibly offend me is the way the United States is portrayed in anime, but I find that completely hilarious.


What if they offend your religion of atheism?

Not even sure I'd call myself an atheist. That'd imply that I don't believe gods exist. I don't have any beliefs at all. I simply don't care. I'm not going jump in bed with religion or science because neither can prove their arguments. So to answer your question you can't offend someone who doesn't care about it at all. (at least until there's more information)

I'm an atheist, but I just wanted to prove a point. Having a different belief (or disbelief) doesn't suddenly make you fucking Stephen Hawking's. We get it, you believe in science. That's great. Now sit the fuck down and respect other people's gods.

Mahouka obviously has some very questionable viewpoints. Either the author is screwed up in the head, or he's just trying to make a quick buck pandering to the 'It's not my fault I'm a miserable failure, it's world's fault!' crowd. Not to mention all the xenophobia and whatnot.

That being said, I haven't dropped it yet. And if I were to drop it eventually, it would more than likely be a result of the show being fucking boring.

noep, im not playing with words for I gave the etymology of the said word. So basically, Atheism is a beleif that God doesnt exist. They can be irreligious but Atheism acts like a religion now though. And one point in the history revealed that Atheism can be a religion as USSR gave an example to that. We can say that Atheism celebrates human power and Humanist ideas

Maybe. I thought of this myself, but I'm not sure if it's the exact placing. Ask the director that question if you want the answer.


Perhaps many christians saw it unfitting to watch bisexual couples.

Atheism isn't a logically secured belief, you moron. Get off your high horse and realize that there's numerous things that can't be explained with science, and there's no such thing as a belief with no flaws in it.


can't tell if srs

lol, this is basically what "criticism" of science boils down to.

the concept of science is on no "high horse". its a very humble formula that recognizes the fact that we know very little, but it takes what we know and examines it in the most logical and secure way possible. it doesnt second guess or make things up, if we dont understand we say we dont understand, we dont make things up to try and explain what we dont know. and science is a METHOD to understand the world. its not really a belief. if you can actually come up with logical flaws say so. because saying "there are a lot of things science cant explain" is an extremely ridiculous counterstatement.

I am an atheist and it's withoud a doubt a belief. It boils down to believing supernatural beings, gods and that kind of bs does't exist, and yet you can't really prove they don't exist (that, though, is because they are so conveniently defined), so it surely can be called a belief.

That makes no sense. How do you suppose aliens came to life? They had to come from no life.

no my point is that the meaning of words changes overtime, i did not contradict the meaning of atheism in this case, my point is atheism is considered irreligion while you are saying they are different, i guess we are just gonna go in circles with this so i rest my case here
