Congratulations on becoming an atheist Tommygunn. As a fellow member of the nontheistic community, let me correct you on some of you misconceptions.
I wouldn't suggest you become a homsexual, since you probably haven't felt homosexual urges in the past. If you have, then I feel sorry for you since I am sure you endured limitless harassment and persecution from others. If you had these homsexual urges, I assume you had a hard time coming to terms with them and made a difficult decision to come out about your natural, hormonally driven urges, which have been documented as occuring with hundreds of animals in the wild. Unfortunately, if you still decide to become a homosexual, you are not allowed to marry the individual you fall in love with, because the government has ignored the rights safe guarded by the 14th amendment of the constitution, which should have ended discrimination against ALL groups. It seems some people feel that homosexuals being allowed to marry would affect them every day when they wake up- dreading the mass amounts of public buttsex and general "gaydom" they are certain to encounter on their commute to work since gays make up a whopping 3% of our population and allowing them to marry would have widespread consequences- most involving the buttrape of children (remember folks, you gotta use the children as polical leverage in an argument).
I wouldn't suggest calling anyone's wife names because they accidentally spilled something on you. That would be rude, and most likely, chivalrous individuals of all backgrounds, would watch with glee as her husband beat the crap out of you (and provided it occured somewhere without cameras, hopefully they would get some shots in too).
I wouldn't suggest you steal things, because stealing is wrong. It has been wrong in every civilized society since the dawn of man. By stealing items you cause businesses to lose money and drive up costs, which affects everyone. Stealing a girls bike would just make you a sick individual.
Although there is no higher power to hold you accountable, committing crimes and "bitch slapping your mother" should be avoided. I wouldn't suggest giving guns (without supervision)or porn to your children either. You should accept your mother for her beliefs, and assuming that in her old age her opinion will not change, avoid the topic out of respect for her, as I do. Your children should be taught that human life is valuable and that no individual should be held higher than another provided that the latter hasn't committed his/her own crimes against others.
Also, I would suggest taking a different approach to your stance on why you are now a nontheist. Air and gravity are not good examples of how to disprove the existence of "the almighty". Although science cannot pinpoint exactly how gravity works, the theory of gravity is universally agreed upon, because its effects can be seen. If you throw something up, it comes down to earth. Massive bodies in space are orbited smaller bodies due to their gravitational pull. Air, is another matter, and completely idiotic example to use. Air is made up of many microscopic molecules, oxygen being just one of the elements present in it. These particles and elements have been studied closely by scientists, and most elements' (save the theoretical ones on the bottom of the table of elements) structure, make-up, and existence have been proven beyod a shadow of a doubt.
You shouldn't teach your children that they are monkeys either. They are in fact, the most highly evolved species on the planet. In Earth's 4.5 billion year existence, evolution has created a being that is capable of concious thought and awareness. It might also hurt their scores in science class if you imply that their ancestors flopped out of the ocean, sprouted legs and immediately began to work on developing industrial societies propelled by currency flow and financial intellect. It took a little longer than that. Over hundreds of millions of years, life has slowly evolved, as superior traits in organisms allowed them to adapt and survive, and therefore breed and outlive their predecessors, who failed to cope with changing environments. Creatures of all shapes and sizes soon developed. Somewhere along the line, our ancestors developed social skills, an evolutionary trait which helped them flourish. Over time they probably realized that verbal communication was beneficial to getting things done. Like I said, since this all occurred over lengths of time unfathomable to us, and since most of us don't have degrees in the (roughly) 60 sciences that are used to explain evolutionary ideas, we have a hard time wrapping our heads around it.
If you are confronted by an argumentative theist who disputes your ideas(don't confront them, it is rude and disrespectful), you should debate them in a rational manner. You should examine religious works A) for the wisdom that actually can be found in them regarding the way others should be treated B) so that you can use the numerous contradictions and plagerisms from older works to strengthen your argument.
Note: this probably wont work since they will use illogical arguments about believing in air even though you can't see it and about humans popping up out of the water and creating society as if it happened within a few months
My second most important point is that as an atheist, you are not granted the ability to do what you want. Rules of civilized society and the principles of basic human rights have developed over centuries and should be applied to ensure the betterment of society. You should hope to leave this planet a better place than you found it. You should take pride in the fact that you do this not because some imaginary being says you should, but because you made your own conscious decision to make the world a more dignified, peaceful place. If you choose not to, you will most likely be punished be theists and nontheists alike who object to your selfish, childish behavior.
The most important point I hope to convey to you is that you should avoid being a clown and never attempt to insult people by uploading nonsensical material onto great sites like liveleak where it is going to get torn apart. If you do, you shouldn't revert to blocking comments like the chickenshit keyboard jihadis who used to do the same thing till they all got banned.
I apologize for even uploading this crap, but I figured since tommygunn refused to allow comments on his oh-so-informative post, I would offer my response and allow others to do so in my comments section.
