Atheists are super smart.

Look here if you need proof.

I don’t possess the towering mental capacity of my two new friends.

Much of their arguments went right over my head.

For example:

Atheism is not a true ism, so it doesn’t say anything…

I responded that atheists sure write a lot of books for people who claim to have nothing to say.

We have no doctrine, no preachers…

Indeed.

It is a statement of doctrine to proclaim you have no doctrine.

Nothing to be embarrassed about.

Atheism has a doctrine…

No! It’s a statement of fact! Does not playing basketball count as a sport to you as well?

Doctrine is also a statement of fact.

Where do you suppose I lost him?

I noticed he blogs too.

Why?

He has nothing to say.

I asked him why he blogs.

He answered:

You’re being really dishonest in your use of words now, just like a drug pusher.

I am being dishonest…

…by asking a question.

The obvious answer would be something like:

“I blog to express my views and opinions.”

But he can’t say that because…

…that kinda sounds like doctrine.

Then another guy joined the discussion.

He said:

My blogs/pics tend to be about the harms and failings of religion…to affect change for less harm.

I thanked him for his response.

He had confirmed that atheist blogs also express doctrine.

…at least that’s what I thought.

When I suggested it, he replied:

Trying to twist us nonbelievers justifying a nonbelief in myths into a religion?

After that, I gave up and just trolled them until I got bored.

You can follow me on Twitter if you want to read the whole exchange.

So what do atheists believe?

Apparently, they believe in unbelief.

They don’t profess anything.

They just disagree with whatever I’m professing.

Calling their beliefs a religion makes them uncomfortable.

They have great faith in faithlessness.

And they have dozens of really smart reasons for their lack of faith.

Just don’t ask them what they are.
