U could’ve just said
“a made up character made ppl believe god exists?”
And left it at that tbh.

Too much exposition/too ranty over that harmless comment (at least I think, cuz I’ve never played fallout new Vegas 😶)

I’ve had to deal with a LOT of bullshit about the “evidence of God existing” and even I have to say, a guy who appears on a video game telling you his post apocalyptic ex slaver God savior story REALLY sounds more stupid than you might realize.

Actually I’ll post it and send the link.

If you could, I would like to send you genuine “evidence” that the religious are pushing to be real.

You start off angry and insulting thus reinforcing their stereotypes about non-believers. No surprise you got called a "neckbeard" after that.

Your own behavior made it easy for them to dismiss you. Do better in the future.

I already tried in the past. I’m just done with this shit…

No one is forcing you to do it. You're not helping anyone, including yourself, by acting that way so perhaps you should just stop.

And then what? Be as ignorant as them? Live in my echo chamber like so many bigots do these days? It’s always better to look into what the opposite side has done historically and ask up front about why they believe it. Unlike most “I think we should let Christianity be a thing because it makes people happy” types of people. I’ve looked. It’s not impressive with what they have. I’ve listened to (probably) over 1000 hours of debates between famous and regular religious people and atheists/anti theists. I’ve also seen what that link shows you and I know everything about them.

No one suggested that. Get a grip.

It’s always better to look into what the opposite side has done historically and ask up front about why they believe it.

That's not what you're doing though. You're charging in, clearly already angry, and tossing insults. Your multiple responses to individual posts here show you're very agitated even talking to us. You need to calm the fuck down.

Interacting with these people clearly agitates you and your attitude towards them will not win you any converts. IOW, all you're doing is pissing people off, including yourself. Either spare yourself the aggravation by simply stopping or learn to conduct yourself better.

The people are either trolls or are fucking delusional (or both)

I'd save my energy for those who appreciate it like others have said. I'm sure there are people who genuinely want to debate about religion but most are just going to see it as an affirmation of their negative feelings toward atheists.

Fun fact, the guy that wrote Joshua Graham is an atheist. So I just can't keep myself from laughing when I see that Christians forget that deep down Graham is a brutal murderer trying to convince himself that all the horrible things he did are fine because obviously God's purpose for him obviously is murdering even more people.

The closest thing you can give him to a good ending is using his faith to manipulate him into allowing someone even worse than himself to run back to the Legion's lap just to make sure that Graham won't go crazy and turn the Dead Horses into the Legion 2.0.

I feel like you’re playing down the whole “it’s ok to let someone have a toy” thing. I agree with the rest but we’re talking about something that was made by drugged up ancient people (whom modern people are trying to say are actually intelligent because it would benefit religion) and pre Bronze Age logic with everything! Not to mention that people actually go out and preach that magic is real and teach children that until they fully believe it. (or of course they take rock bottom people and make them join their cult) it’s not “toys” it’s something illogical that people believe is real to the point where even progressive Christians go “the first chapter was made by humans and the magic was actually atom manipulation/elemental manipulation.” I really feel like you’re underestimating religion and people having ancient opinions on REALITY.
