I am right and everyone that is religious is wrong because there is no proof God exists! Therefore, he doesn't exist /logical fallacy.

Religious people have been brainwashed from youth and all they do is just shove all their religious books at me all the time! I'm like, "Man, I'm atheist and refuse to recognize that members of my "lack of belief" also try and force their "lack of beliefs" on others. Also, God is a silly notion because I say so. Furthermore, God is absurd because bad things happen and I have not read any counter arguments made by St. Augustine or even attempted to understand the Christian point of view"

Lastly, religious people have no idea what laws and morals and ethics are because they act only out of fear of their God. I am not oversimplifying their beliefs nor am I looking at their beliefs in a fashion that does not take into account many of the teachings of said religious views. By the way, I want to state this definitive and unarguable fact, God does not exist.

Spaghetti monster. Derp.

(Insert assertion about everyone's beliefs here)

Also, God does not exist because you are crazy.

Disclaimer: This only applies to atheists that do this/say these things, as they are highly annoying and have no right to say such things :)

Yeah, but St Augustine's argument for the existence of evil is rather terrible. It's hopelessly dated and a tad sadomasochistic. His argument is actually what finally pushed me over to atheism. I mean come on, bad things happen because some chick happened to take a bite out of an apple 4000 years ago and we're all suffering because of that? The whole notion of original sin is unjustified, and just plain stupid, in the extreme. Rape, birth defects, the holocaust, female genital mutilation...you name it- God turning a blind eye to all this is his way of lovingly punishing the rest of us throughout history for Eve's little fruit fetish. Well, what a complete and utter dick he is if that's the case; talk about holding a grudge.

Oh yeah and natural disasters that kill millions? Naughty angels did it by jumping up and down on the spot in hell apparently...

His argument is simply offensive to any human being capable of rational thought.

I don't have a problem with the music or people enjoying it, but like someone else here said: Skrillex looks and acts like a complete tool. He's like some awful offspring of a greasy goth and Kotaku's Tim Rogers (don't google the later, otherwise you'll want to punch yourself in the face). Deadmau5 is a colossal knobend as well.

Why? WHY!? Did you have to mention the uber tool that is Tim Rogers....

Ah well, that's six months of intensive hypnotherapy down the drain.

@Keyboardwarrior: I'm talking about the original post, not whatever nonsense this thread appears to have turned into.

It's the Internet.-what did you expect? My point about people getting too uptight about any slight criticism that's levelled at the crew still stands (you watch, they'll tear me and this other guy apart just as they did to the OP but worse). I find it creepy the way some people tend to frantically adore anything and everything you guys put out,do, or say, regardless of actual quality; which is a shame because, at its best, this site is quality.

Oh yeah, did you get my meaning about the 'ghost'?

@Jeff said:

Never send an intern to do an editor's job, I suppose.

I'll look into this. Thanks for bringing it up.

Wait...who are you agreeing with? Also, and I mean this in as polite a way as possible, it's time to give up the ghost man (if you know what I mean)

Burn.

In all seriousness: it's just a reasoned criticism of the way Giant Bomb is doing things. No need to overreact.

One of my least favorite things about the internet is how full it is of Person A telling Person B that, in their opinion, Person A's opinion (or worse, the fact that they even have an opinion) is utterly wasteful and offensive.

I'm going to go ahead and have an opinion about a website and post it on the forum that the website has provided for users to give their opinion on. I think I'm well within my rights to do so. I'm less confident in users telling another user that their opinion isn't welcome on a forum for opinions.

But that's just my opinion. I know it's not welcome on a web forum, so I apologize.

It happens a lot but it's getting out of hand on Giant Bomb. Just even thinking about having your own opinion and you'll get executed in public because "If you don't share the view of the crew. You're no real Giant Bomb user!"

This. So tired of the cult like mentality the users on this site are starting to develop. The crew's word isn't gospel people...stop whooping in rapturous delight over everything Jeff, Ryan or Vinny might have to say and abusing, to no end, anybody who dares disagree. Trust me, when it comes to the crunch, they don't give two shits about their user-base personally (in a hushed voice: you guys are just numbers and traffic to them in the end). Get over it.

You guys are sincerely the only people who are developing a cult-like mentality. We're here because we enjoy the personalities. We don't always agree with them, and that's just alright by us. You all are more than welcome to leave at any time. The community surely won't miss you.

Looks like @ZeForgotten is still salty over being called out by @zodiac_motherfucker, and the community collectively told him off. I'm sure @VinceNotVance will still appreciate this hilarity.

Oh look, another teen who got his little feelings hurt because I insulted one of his idols. What's so wrong with not finding ZMF funny? Oh that's right, because it goes against what the Giant Bomb guys think, I forgot. Also, I love how you didn't show the rest of that conversation just to make you look cooler. You're so awesome, like a real teenager going places! 'high five' bro

Yes that's right, continue to prove us wrong by obsessively pulling up the first half of some obscure chat history that has no context and thus makes no sense to anybody other than yourself. Sick burn bro. 'the community collectively told him off?' 'called out'? 'The community surely won't miss you?'

Charlie Manson is that you? Are you out of jail already? You rascal you...I knew you'd find a home on the GB forums! Have fun worshipping in the Church of Gerstmann for the rest of your natural, pathetic, life...

OP IS A DELICIOUS TROLL.

Well, um, yeah It's Reddit...it transforms perfectly reasonable individuals into total cunts. This is law.

If it isn't new then why devote a whole news article to the subject?

I never have and I probably never will. What's the appeal (I mean other than helping your fellow man)?
