Obviously this is for the atheists, agnostics, and apatheists. I usually reply "Oh, I'm not a believer" in a friendly tone with a smile. What say you heathens of NeoGAF?

I was expecting these passive aggressive replies thanks for not disappointing. Funny thing that, I'm not either I just say it so that they see we're "normal" people just like them.

“Aww, it’s so...average,” she said to him in a cold brick of passion
"Thanks brother/sister. May Satan guide your path as well."
how the fuck do some of you pass as functional adults in a society is beyond me.

Quite easily, how do some people get triggered so easily because someone says they're not a believer is a better question.

That reminded me a couple of years ago when I was training new employees and said "I wanna thank you guys for..." and a young woman cut me off blurting out "I'M NOT A GUY!!"
I just replied "Go burn your bra somewhere else and let's go get some lunch."
Back to the original topic yeah there's no need to be confrontational or start a lengthy debate just because someone wished you well

I'm an atheist myself, I don't feel the need to tell everyone cause I'm not an edgy 14yo.

Honest question, you think casually saying "Oh, I'm not a believer" is confrontational?"That reminded me a couple of years ago when I was training new employees and said "I wanna thank you guys for..." and a young woman cut me off blurting out "I'M NOT A GUY!!"
I just replied "Go burn your bra somewhere else and let's go get some lunch."

Is this a new thing? I heard some guy say it on the radio and then on TV the other day, but had never heard it before in my life.

My fellow dirtbags is a good alternate.
I had someone at work claim dude was gendered so I made them watch this. Got an eye roll in return but they haven’t complained since.

I'll be aggressive if you prefer. The fact that you are offended because somebody wishes you well in a way that you don't like speaks volumes to your immaturity as a person. Deep down you know this because you came to a forum to get validation since posing this question to any regular group of people would be embarrassing.
The correct response to any boilerplate well wishing anywhere on Earth is "thanks, you too". If a Bavarian greets you with "gruss gott" would you tell them you aren't a believer before greeting them? Do you immediately expose your religious beliefs if somebody says "bless you" when you sneeze? When somebody tells you their hopes and prayers are with you do you tell them off? Why are you so focused on semantics instead of the message?

Snip. Herein lies the fault in your argument. I am not offended despite your claims. I'm not rude or mean when I say "Oh, I'm not a believer". I just want to normalize not being religious but I see that's an uphill battle going by some of these replies. No worries honestly did not expect such replies over such an innocuous comment.

If you replied that to me I would just go on my merry way but yes it opens the door for debate.
You are not aggressive in that reply yet there's a bait or jab at that other person's beliefs.

"Just to be clear, I'm not a professional 'quote maker'. I'm just an atheist teenager who greatly values his intelligence and scientific fact over any silly fiction book written 3,500 years ago. This being said, I am open to any and all criticism.

I say it all the time. And have never heard anyone say, "hey! No thanks, I'm an athiest."
My jab would be: Congratulations? Want a cookie?
Yeah, it opens a door for jabs. Similar to if you said "Merry Christmas" and some repsonds with: Nope. Happy holidays! Respect muh atheism." I doubt anyone would really say that though.
My sister's an athriest and says Merry Christmas and 'thanks' if you send prayers or blessings.

Someone's going to get offended and say, "No thanks. Magic's for witches."
To that you may respond with rebuttal statement: "Bippity, boppity...boo-hoo."
You're sea
We aren't having an argument. A benign conversation form bothered you enough to feel like you had a need to correct the behavior then tell the internet what you did. The correct word for that is offended since you're so stuck up on semantics. It's your business if you want to be an asshole to people. Just know that you are normalizing the stereotype of atheists being dicks instead of whatever goal you think you're accomplishing.

So you know better than me how I feel? Ok. That's not how it works I'm done replying to you.
That's cool. I feel immense sympathy for you. I hope you sort out whatever is bothering you and that can grow as a person.
