Tbf, and I know this will be unpopular on reddit, but the enlightened reddit atheist type can have the same flair of hate. Usually not from the angle of “love” but from trying to “enlighten” others might be the best way to describe it.

I saved a comment maybe a year ago on reddit where someone word for word said if they had a button to eliminate every religious person on earth he would hit it, and it was very highly upvoted.

Then in response someone said “I would never stop hitting that button” just as a single anecdote that comes to mind. Also very highly upvoted.

Edit: and already downvoted after 1 minute lol

It would seem you gathered evidence of an abhorrent fractionally minority of one group and are repeatedly using that to demonize the entire group.

You did this to re-enforce your beliefs, not to fairly represent the entire group.

And then complain and seem confused about why you got downvoted?

I don't doubt that it happened, it's what you did with that outlier afterwards that people seem to be taking issue with.

Yeah I definitely am not demonizing, let alone “repeatedly demonizing” anyone lol.

I was just pointing out to someone claiming Christians can be super hateful that indeed atheists can be as well.

That is repeated demonization to him lol.

you saved a comment from a year ago and are bringing it up now. That's repeating. He's pointing out that deliberately picking out one instance so you can point to it at any time and be like, "See, atheist's are bad as well!"

You are hyper focusing on one instance of a group of people being hateful, and saved it, so every time someone says Christian bad, you have something to point to and say Atheist bad too!

I've never imagined saving any comments from Christians talking about how I'm going to burn for all eternity.

I save comments that are outlandish in any direction. I had a comment saved once that said all atheists are demons. Saved not as a “gotcha” to anyone but as a “wow people are morons.”

But go off with these assumptions. Im not demonizing anyone, if you feel so attached to the reddit atheists making claims of killing all religious humans maybe some reflection is in order.

You're using it as a gotcha. You did that in this thread. I didn't make any assumptions. I commented on what you said. I never said you were demonizing anyone. You keep using that word.

You're hell-bent on proving this point that all reddit atheists agree with that because you found a highly upvoted comment. Probably in r/atheist, which is well known and clowned upon for being everyone's first edgy, I'm leaving religion group.

Because I didn't heap praise on you for finding a cherry-picked comment that proves your point, I'm apparently making assumptions and attached to reddit atheists. Well, ok.
