Top 10 Reasons Atheists Suck
Have you ever noticed how much Atheists suck? Here are the top 10 reasons why!
Atheist Bus Campaign
A fund-raising campaign to get the first-ever atheist advertisements put on London buses.
from the title of this article, i thought the letter was gonna go in a completely different direction….
Who the hell is writing these headlines? What is happening buzzfeed? When is this whole religion thing gonna end so we can all move on with our lives and actually do something productive on this planet.
hey scott lamb. this letter wasnt written by a “school” teacher, but by a university professor. moreover, it wasnt addressed to little children or drunk teenagers, who went to college solely for the chicks and the football, but to university students. in case you dont get the difference between “teach me some facts although i dont care”-places and think tanks (one of them being university) you should just shut the fuck up and continue browsing teh interwebz instead.
So this professor doesn't want bigoted assholes in his class. Win for the professor!!!!
Wait, so students who think their religion is the most valid are bigots? Doesn't everyone who belongs to any religion think theirs is the most valid? Otherwise they wouldn't be a follower of that religion.
This reminds me of a class I had last semester
So he starts off the email in a condescending tone, and then singles out specific students in a class wide email and tears them apart. While I agree with his main arguments, this is a rather dickish and immature response for a professor. Professors are supposed to foster intellectual growth, not call their students bigots in class wide emails. If he really cared about a student's journey from a high school mentality to a college level discussion, he wouldn't have sent out a passive aggressive email. That being said, this could be like one of those fake reddit popularized chain letter style stories, in which case, bravo sir, for not having the balls to say this to someone in person.
Win for the professor!Its about time the Jesus crispys are put in there place
*applause*
I'm confused. I can't tell if all of the “win” tags are for the teacher who wrote the letter that handed the student's ass to them, or the person who titled this post and doesn't realize that's what happened.
I'd rather have this guy than the christian professor that cuts out huge chunks of material you are required to know to work in the field they're teaching because it doesn't correspond with the teacher's personal Christian beliefs.
I miss college… I wish I were in that class I would have loved to debate with the guy who stood up and told everyone not to participate. Idiot. Some people don't need to go to college… it'll just hurt their feelings.
Scott Lamb is either bad with sarcasm or perhaps was one of the students in the class

The best way to convince someone of your point of view is to openly mock them in front of their peers.
Scott is obviously trolling with the title. But surprisingly, I read this and the word “pompous” did come to mind. I sympathize with this man's goals, but I find his methods distasteful. I don't know whether this real, but I dislike that the professor called out specific students in an email to the entire class. The professor could have gotten the same point across without making an example of the students; the students named in this email know who they are and so do their classmates. This can polarize the classroom and discourage participation. The targeted students may be afraid to speak up and the rest may read this as permission to antagonize a specific group of students. Furthermore, embarrassing a student will not get him to change his thinking. I firmly believe that in situations like this, you should make the effort to find out why your student thinks the way he does and then give him the tools to reassess his opinions. Otherwise, you're not doing very much to foster an environment where open discussion can occur, even if this is your stated goal. You're just protecting the individuals who already agree with you. That being said - I don't know what went down in class, but if a student is being disruptive to the point where he is hijacking the learning process, yes, you call him out. You also explain WHY he's being disruptive and try to redirect the conversation in constructive ways. If you think there's something more to be said to a student, arrange a private conference. I say this as an atheist with little tolerance for bigotry of any flavor: students need to be able to trust their teachers. As a teacher, you need to think about how your actions affect their interactions with you and their classmates. It is not always easy to do so, but you must care about all of them. This includes the ones with opinions and/or behavior you don't like.
I fail to see how the teacher was discriminating against christians for telling them their beliefs are not superior to everyone else's.
This makes me want to go back to college.
The headline and the content of this message do not relate. This professor is correct, and the headline reads as if he behaves as the characters he describes. Thumbs down to whoever posted the headline, and thumbs up to the letter.
The professor is correct in expressing his dismay with how some of his students reacted to the situation—he respectfully and eloquently states how he found their behavior unacceptable in an institution that exemplifies an open, non-judgmental space to exchange ideas.
