aaa (atheist against assholes)

let me start by getting the obvious out of the way.... yeah, i'm an atheist. i don't believe in a god and i don't believe anything special happens after you die. some people will slowly decompose, me personally, if my last will and testament are followed, i'll flow through the breeze as ashes. that's it... no consciousness.... i don't expect it to feel much like anything... but it's probably a whole lot like before you were born.

that being said, i don't consider myself to be a douchebag atheist. i don't wanna scream on a soapbox about it. i don't wanna be the buzzkill at the party that goes to great lengths to disprove the existence of all that is metaphysical or spiritual when everyone else is just there to try and have a good time (i know you know that dude!) i don't want you to join my new, exciting atheist movement, i don't want you to buy my book. anyone who buys a book about atheism is an asshole, and any person who writes a book about it, AND makes money, is a bigger asshole.

there's no book to write. there's not even a main character. yet some of these blowhards go on writing book after book, these several hundred page borefests that explain what it means to not believe in anything... pages, chapters, books, and total libraries dedicated to NOTHING. they're the seinfeld show of the book world, except pretend seinfeld was never funny and took itself way too seriously. yeah i know, pretty awful to even try and imagine.

i don't think i'm better than anyone else. you won't ever hear me say, 'i won't associate with a christian, jew, scientoligist (or whatever relgion you wanna insert here).' i don't think i'm smarter, cooler, or better looking for it.

and i refuse to think that there's some atheist brotherhood. just because you're a fellow atheist don't automatically make you a friend. you get judged just like anyone else.... are you an asshole? then get away from me. are you cool? great, first beer's on me. if my choices for hanging out are a gang of cool christians or a gaggle of asshole atheists, i'll take the cool christians every time. not only are they cooler than you, but their chicks got no attitude, and just in case i'm wrong about this whole atheist thing, it might help to know some people and have some connections in the great beyond.

so there it is, in summation... i'm josh, i like cool people, can't stand assholes. you will not be judged upon your religion. just don't be a douchebag.
