    Soo what is the message here? Atheists are incel neckbeard basement dwellers and god is as real as one of their mother?

    Edit: Oh wait I misread the comic in the most funny way! I read it as “my mum god” as if he stopped believing in his mum as a deity. Tired brain plays weird tricks.

      It’s about atheists who make atheism their whole personality.

        In other words, “anti-theists” instead of just atheists.

        Most people whose personalities revolves around being anti-something are insufferable. It’s far better to be for something than against something.

        Like, I grew up Mormon, and left when I grew old enough to think for myself. Among my friends who also left the church, there are two major categories: the “post-mormons” and the “anti-mormons”. The anti-mormons are miserable to be around while the rest of us decided we’d rather build our lives around what we love, not what we hate.

      That proselytizing about atheism without considering the needs and character of your audience can be just as bad as religion doing the same.

      Love is more important than being right, and the son in the comic very clearly didn’t show any. As soon as he proved his point, he left to go celebrate with his friends rather than spend time with his mother. He failed to show her that just because there is no big sky god doesn’t mean that is no love.
