Atheist jerk
Hello everyone! Damn it's been a while since I've hit up this site. Well anyway, I wanted to share with you all this message I received from an atheist over facebook. I found it to be quite insulting in many ways, and rather pathetic at that. Tell me what you think. "Dude you might think that this is really psycho of me, or really attractively outgoing, but I promise you I'm decently sane and totally harmless. Also, I like to write. Sorry, but it is by far the best way to express without being interrupted. So you can either delete this message now, or read it. Either way, you don't have to respond. So I just got home from the library, I checked out The Atheist's Values which came highly recommended by my philosophy professor. Anyway, I wanted to see who else on this religiously ignorant campus enjoyed Sam Harris, so I clicked his name in my Favorite Books section. From the list that popped up, a picture of two stunningly beautiful girls was on the top of the list (I guess because you're from Charlotte). I thought to myself that it was a mistake, there is no way that two highschool girls from Charlotte are broad enough to read Sam Harris. Sure enough, after I clicked your name, the first thing that popped out was Agnostic Atheist. Bravo! I love how you tell EVERYONE that your atheist, and don't give a shit, that's straight up badass. I'd be excommunicated for that (but don't call me a pussy). Anyway, I've read all the books in your favorite books section, those are some good ones. You might like "The Selfish Gene" by Richard Dawkins, or my personal favorite, "Letter to A Christian Nation" by Sam Harris. Anyway, I just wanted to know what kind of life would allow you to confide, so strongly, in your religious convictions. Where did they come from!? I know for a fact that since the age of about 12, I preferred popular kids science books, like Zoobooks. From these books I determined that many stories of the Bible certainly could not be true. Dissenting from the one thing my parents indoctrinated the most, grew a suspicion for all authorities in all forms, a mindset that has lasted with me my entire life. If something is in me which can be called religious then it is the unbounded admiration for the structure of the natural world so far as our science can reveal it. That is why I am studying environmental sciences. My dad was furious when I changed my major from International Business to Environmental Studies. But I love the trees and critters infinitely more than Europe's economic trends. I want to further my studies after college at either Law school or a graduate school for politics, to undermine my destiny of environmental knowledge. I've typed a lot, but it was fast because I'm basically talking. I apologize for how long this was, if you even read through it. If you did get this far, and aren't laughing at how ridiculous I am, nor too feminist to talk to a male, write me back; I think we have a lot to converse about. Or I could offer some sweet quotes. Peace and thanks, Wallace By the way, what you see on my Facebook is not entirely me. I wake up every morning and I am Lonnie Wallace Wyatt, an extremely confident environmentalist and moral atheist. I don't like very many people. I find them not intellectually inferior or ignorant, but brainwashed and intimidated by everything rational. They see philosophical conversations as burdensome rather than enlightening. You don't talk about God, the universe, or nature at college parties. You talk about sex, drugs, and sex. I hate it. I am closer to my professors than my roomates. I shower and get ready every morning before school and put on a mask. The mask I wear is one of a conservative, agreeable, social party animal. The only reason I wear this mask is because my father successfully installed the significance and the need of societal acceptance into my brain as a child. Forgive me for lying to the world via facebook. But I refuse to lie to a girl who is on my level of understanding. And really, I'm not crazy, I am just overwhelmed and excited to be able to talk to someone who may think like me..."

By the way, this was my
By the way, this was my response. (CAUTION: MESSAGE CONTAINS EXTREME BITCHINESS) "Hello there, Lonnie Wallace Wyatt. Dude I definitely didn’t think that this is psycho of you, nor really attractively outgoing. Writing is great, I know, I like to write, too! Don’t worry honey, I wouldn’t interrupt you, I’m a good listener. Why do you think I would delete this message? This is by far the most INTERESTING message I have ever received! So, here is my response. Excuse me, but, who do you think you are? You don’t think a “stunningly beautiful” girl who is still in high school could POSSIBLY be intelligent enough to think for herself and step outside the religious realm, declaring herself Atheist? Surely I couldn’t be comprehensive enough to read intellectual books written by people who are FAR more intellectual than me! Well I’ve got news for you big boy; I know plenty of non-religious girls at my high school, who have more than enough brains to read and understand books by Sam Harris. Congratulations, you’ve insulted the girl you were attempting to flatter. Yeah, that’s right. I don’t give a shit that people know I’m an atheist, because I’m not a pussy like you. I am proud to not be affiliated with any sort of religion, and I don’t care how people judge me for it. So you want to know what kind of life would lead me to have such strong convictions of religion. Hmm, let’s see. My mother went to church every Sunday of her life with her family, and continued to go after getting married and having kids. We went to church up until I started going to school. Even after we stopped going to church, I still thought I was a Christian for several years because that’s what my family and friends and neighbors believed. All children want to conform. Where do my religious convictions come from, you ask? Uh, they come from my brain. I wasn’t influenced to become non-religious; I simply did research and came to my own conclusions. I “know for a fact” that since the age of about 9, I started having doubts about Christianity and god. I thought to myself, “Why is everyone convinced that there is an invisible man in the sky answering to everyone’s prayers, when they’ve never seen him? If he doesn’t show himself to us, then why believe in his existence? Why is Jesus a male and not a female? Why does Christmas revolve around Santa Claus and presents when it is supposed to be about the birth of Jesus? What does Santa Claus have anything to do with Jesus? Why are dinosaurs not mentioned in the Bible?” and so forth. My parents did not indoctrinate me to question any kind of authority. If anything, they taught me NOT to question authority. It’s great that you’re studying environmental sciences. I’m sorry your dad was furious at you for switching your major from International Business to Environmental studies. I love the trees and critters more than I love Europe’s economic trends, too. Also, it’s great that you want to further your studies after college at either Law school or a graduate school for politics, to undermine your destiny of environmental knowledge. Damn, you must like to talk about yourself a lot! (Maybe you talk so much because you like to hear yourself talk?) What do you mean, “if you even read through it?” Of course I read through it. It was so astonishing to see that someone could be THAT egotistical and self-absorbed. It also amazes me that you can consider yourself so open-minded and worldly, yet be so ignorant of the intelligence of young females. As a matter of fact yes, I am laughing at how ridiculous you are. Good call. However, your cynicism and assumptions that I would interrupt you, delete the message before reading, not respond, and not even get that far through the message, really reflect on your overall view and generalizations about “stunningly beautiful” girls like me. Did you think that I would be a snob? Did you think that I would feel as though I am “too good” for you, and just ignore you all together? Did you think that I would just be a bitch and call you a worthless loser? Okay, that last one might be true, but only because YOU ASKED FOR IT. You insult anyone’s intelligence and they will be a jerk right back to you. It’s the golden rule, my friend. Also, NO, I am not “too feminist to talk to a male,” so get over yourself. This statement perfectly validates just how ignorant you are. You might say a feminist is a real bitch, who wants to steal power from men, wants to subject men and degrade men. Feminists are suppressors of men with freedom, enemies of traditional men, destroyers of male ambition, and a manipulating liar. They are male-hating, left-wing extremists. They are radical, hypocritical, and think they are superior to men. They believe they deserve more because they can bear children. They want special treatment, they call themselves independent but yet they still expect the man to do everything AND pay all the bills! Did you ever think that a feminist could be a SANE woman that ACTUALLY wants equality and respect, who simply ask to be looked upon as people and not animals or objects? That maybe they could be someone who believes the RADICAL notion that women are people? HOLY SHIT…WHAT A CONCEPT. Poor, poor Wallace. He was overlooked and picked on by all the pretty girls in school as a young boy and now he is a vengeful, self-righteous, cocky prick who has his head stuck up his ass because he thinks he is more intelligent and better than everyone else. I think you are confusing “extremely confident environmentalist and moral atheist,” with “self-absorbed waste of oxygen.” If you are so confident, Wally, why do you have to put on this “mask” every day? Why not show the world who you really are? Do you think great philosophers like Socrates gave a shit about being “socially accepted”? “But I refuse to lie to a girl who is on my level of understanding.” –HAHAHA! I think I have surpassed your level of understanding, sweetheart. “I am just overwhelmed and excited to be able to talk to someone who may think like me...” –Trust me, I don’t think like you. Wow, I’m surprised people don’t already excommunicate you for being such an asshole. And I thought I had already met some of the world’s biggest assholes, (read my note on pornography and the degradation of women and you’ll know who I am talking about) but I was very wrong. Regardless of what you may think of me at this point (IF you even read this far,) I am actually a very chill person. You’ve just pushed the wrong buttons. You’re messing with the wrong girl this time, Wally boy. You may choose to delete this message or respond to it. Either way, I think you're a fool. Peace and you’re welcome, Cary"

"nor too feminist to talk to
"nor too feminist to talk to a male" Yeah, I hate it when people think that you have to be either on one side or against it. "there is no way that two highschool girls from Charlotte are broad enough to read Sam Harris." That part probably pissed me off the most. I'm a high school girl and I'm a strong atheist and more importantly, an anarchist so STFU. Not all girls are ditzy chicks.

Wow Cary, after that

Wow Cary, after that berating I wouldn't be surprised to find a puddle of ooze at his keyboard. He had it coming though. This is the end result of brash assumptions and stereotypes I'm afraid. I eagerly await his reply. If he has the guts to reply after that.

As a teenage guy, this kind

As a teenage guy, this kind of thing really pisses me off. I have ever only found kindred spirits in intelligent, thoughtful people, and honestly, I've found that more in girls than in guys. To me, it just seems as society represses girls far more than it does guys, and I hate it. Every girl that I've ever been close friends with has a deep and thoughtful mind, a caring soul, and the ability to think for herself. Bullshit like this makes my blood boil. It also makes me want to learn how to send viruses to people like that...

Cheers!

Moved this to Teen
Moved this to Teen Mailbag. I can picture him expecting a reply full of sweet little thank-yous and hearts, and coffee all over his computer when he reads the actual reply.
