If atheism is not a relgion, why they want to convert everyone!

Seems like you have simply run into some atheists who would like to share with you. Not unusual. One runs into Christians with the same idea all the time.

To some extent.

But some religions actively encourage their believers to proselytize.

Is it a more personal thing with atheists who insult believers, even believers who aren’t proselytizing? What motivates an atheist to insult believers who say, just having a conversation about what they’d do if they were God? It definitely seems aimed at changing minds, at moving people away from religion.

Many people like to be snarky on the internets. That's not proselytizing.

It’s not mature, mentally well-adjusted, either. Are you the President? Do better.

Meh. Just trying to explain “motivations”. Calling out someone’s ignorance is the sport. Not changing minds. Not proselytizing.

Troll admits to trolling

Snark is a long-standing custom on the internets. Welcome. Your first time here?

My work here is done. Trolling with a soupçon of calling out what I think is ignorance in the hopes of converting (no other word for it) someone who isn’t sure of themselves.

19:14: this is the behavior we’re all complaining about. This guy is on here 24/7.

LOL. You think people are trying to convert you? No, they are just pointing out...flaws in your arguments. Literally, no one on here cares what you believe.

You are projecting the whole conversion thing.

Nobody believes you. Jeering “fairytales” or “Christofacism” is the stupid sort of babyish behavior that’s a million miles from an adult “pointing out flaws in your argument.”

It’s almost like you don’t have a life outside trolling DCUM. Time to call mom to bring your Fruit Loops down.

Irony escapes you I guess.

If you need it explained, the insulting posts in this discussion are yours and yours alone. You do not make your side look well. In fact I am beginning to believe you might be an atheist trying to make christians look like hypocrites.

You are definitely conflating posters. Feel free to ask Jeff.

And who exactly do you think cares what you believe? You sound like a self-centered boomer. Truth is that no one on here really GAF what you believe. Many are happy to call out your fallacies though. You really can’t see the difference?

Nope. Lame defense fail. 21:19, 9:57 and 10:01, who you would have us believe are different posters, say they enjoy snarking at believers and “calling out [their] ignorance” for “sport.” So yeah, faith is definitely a bullseye to some of you. You don’t snark at/insult other atheists—can’t you see the difference?

The sad thing is that you guys have adopted Trump’s social media style and some of you are apparently here 24/7 blasting away at faith.

1. I never said *I* enjoy it, just trying to explain possible motivations.

2. I'm not the “fairytales” or “Christofacism” posters. There are many posters here.

3. Why do you assume that no one snarks at atheists?

4. No one here cares what you believe.

Of course you enjoy it. Nobody is putting a gun to your head to trash-talk religious people on DCUM 24/7, so why else would you do it? Somebody else (or maybe that was you” said above that trolling believers was “sport.”

I don't trash talk religious people on DCUM 24x7.

PP asked about motivations and was misinterpreting snarking as proselytizing.

Liar. No one said "trolling believers was a sport". Pointing out fallacies is an internet-wide sport, not limited to this forum or "believers". Is this your first time on an internet discussion forum?

And no one on DCUM cares what you believe. Seriously.
