Atheist Loses His Mind Over Athletes Praising God
Hereโs Why His Argument Fails
Atheists are the most miserable lot on the planet. A quick excursion through the mucky marshes of Reddit makes that clear.
It has become an echo chamber of angry, incoherent psychobabble. Without logic or evidence.
Atheists from all walks of life slander Christians (few other religions are ever mentioned; if they are, rarely in a negative light), mock God, discuss feelings, and pat each other on the back.
A one-sided display of pride-filled, purposeless camaraderie that would make the likes of Mao and Stalin blush.
They pretend theyโre being intellectual, but all day you get vacuous comments like this:
Iโd laugh if it wasnโt so pitiful. These group therapy sessions.
Still, comments like the one above are convincing to many. โYAAAS, BROOO!!!โ come the affirmations. โThose Christians are the worst!โ

He presents as noble but then shares his envy of the players on the field. Their happiness and celebration disturb his misery.
God has nothing to do with it. Thatโs just the front the atheist selects to mask the underlying covetousness of his inward thoughts.
What is actually wrong with athletes praising God and giving God the credit is never a topic brought up. At least, not yetโฆ
