I got into a discussion about atheism and god and such and this is what happened.

It's sad how Christians have fallen to this sophistry. What happened to Kierkegaard, Barth, and the other dead homies who made at least a little sense? They proselytize like a bunch of hippies nowadays. There's no respect for the atheistic viewpoint whatsoever, but they contrive empathy anyways, so they end up sounding like passive aggressive douche bags.

To me, religion works like becoming a loyal user of a specific operating system aimed at developing a sense of what the higher truths are. Some operating systems are fucking insane to take on and work with to incorporate, expand, and work with, but the challenge of it is respectable and from it you can come out a more refined human being for the insane world we live in. But too many just use it without ever trying to make a fucking tweak in the deeper subtleties themselves, just shout about how it's the best and think you're a fucking dummy (sorry, 'a lost soul') for not using it, even though they can't get on YouTube without an audio-video delay but derp that's how God wanted it.
