I’m an Atheist who meditates, but I like you guys, the same reason I started meditating, almost made me Catholic again. I’m here cuz I get the memes, I’m an apostate, several catholic friends and a friend who is an Agnostic Falangist, CATHOLIC falangism by the way. What a charming group.
I only get the memes because I’m an apostate (edit: and a bit cuz I’m a history buff), so I don’t think they’re gonna bring me back. Sorry to let you down.
Where is Jesus’s corpse? We kept track of the holy sepulcher this entire time and you mean to tell me that Jesus never went to heaven and we just lost his body? If the romans stole his body (which is dumb because then the holy sepulcher wouldn’t have even existed then) they would have desecrated it in the traditional Hellenic pagan fashion (a cow a pig and a lamb) which would have been extremely important to the apostles (who were the ones who spread the faith the most in the early days) and therefore to the rest of the Christians as a whole.
I was conversing with my Agnostic, but ProCatholic friend, and we were coming up with a technical scholarly response, but we decided Calvinism is based and all 3 of us should convert. What do you say?
Yeah many atheist end up being superstitious or believing in stuff like astrology.

When ppl think God isnt real or religion is false but still have the hunger for divinity ppl do try to fill the hole in their heart with things like astrology and other faiths but only the Living Water can wet their bones
Yep, there are thick people on both sides of the fence.

But what is science but the exploration of all God has made? We know about more stars in our Galaxy than grains of sand on Earth and that's truly sublime.

I have always loved “Remember that thou art dust, and to dust you shall return.” I’m not sure if I’m interpreting it correctly but I always found it so humbling.

The memes will get you. Never doubt the power of the memes

You joke, but memes are stupidly powerful. Their ability to subconsciously enter our minds and poke at us from there is literally why we use them.
They're essentially mental viruses.

Unless I’m misremembering there was a user on r/Catholicism yesterday who converted (at least in part) because of the memes on this sub.

I can't wait until someone writes a book about how memes led to the election of Donald Trump. I think they really did play a huge part.

Would you say that "new atheism" or "reddit atheism" is equal to that of classical atheism?

I don’t really even know how to define them, I just don’t believe in a higher power.

When religion steps out of the door, superstition enters through the backdoor.

Worth knowing that NDT has said publicly that he wouldn’t describe himself as atheist, mainly because he thinks the new atheists are toxic
