That Dickhead Friend

[TimbukTurnip]

Can't say I've ever known anyone like this. By the sounds of it he's clinging to you and you alone. Just block him on everything and tell him to fuck off, because he sounds like a right arse.

Had a "friend" like that back in high school, actually a friend of a friend (who was awesome) that didn't sit at our lunch table anymore, so he was just there -_-
And oh god the inane arguments...

*Great text wall of china*

Wow sounds like all of my worst friends rolled into one. One of my firends is always texting me and emailing me and half of the time its him complaining that I haven't replied yet, I'm not fixed to my computer screen 24/7, I don't even check my emails all that often. He then wines that he doesn't have any texts left, then stp fucking texting me! Esspecially when it's just a text saying "Reply to my texts! *Wimper, whine*"

I hate those kind of atheists though, ones who will talk about religion always opressing people and forcing their beliefs on others, but then never shutting up about atheisim and constaly forcing it on people they know are religious.

I really can't say much 'cuz I'm pretty sure you just described me(except the militant atheist part).

He's a PS3 elitist, who thinks that his facebook status updates are going to bring joy to people's life and that he's some kind of life guru. He'll demand hugs and people will either say no or, in the case of one girl, recoil in shock at his ambush while clutching her folder to her heart, shaking her head barely able to speak to him for fear of a conversation. When considering inviting him to join us for a meal, the afore mentioned girl and her boyfriend have the following conversation.

Her: Should we invite Max?
Him: Uh, why?
Her: Because he's your friend.
Him: Actually, I think you'll find that he's YOUR friend.

Turns out our entire circle only tolerated him because they thought that the rest of us liked him. It was VERY funny when we first found that out.

Wow, so we all know someone like that? Thought it was just bad luck...

I dont have any friend like that so that must mean...
No, no, no I can be annoying but not like that.

I wasn't complaining about Atheists. I have many Atheist friends. It's just this guy seems to believe that by making generally wrong assumptions about anyone even slightly associated with religion he's being a genuine stand-up comedian, despite the jokes lacking anything that could be even called taste or humour. They're always badly-thought-out, distasteful, low-brow jokes that generally just include him making a wrong assumption, making a shit joke out of it and then, after being proven wrong by the person he's making a joke about continuing to believe he's correct. Like the one about Christians not believing in gravity I mentioned. That is completely, 110% incorrect and yet he still proceeded to make a joke about it.

Fair enough. Jokes are not that bad, to be honest. It's if the jokes turn into serious rants you need to worry. If I am honest I am an Athiest and somewhat serious about it but if we ever want to be taken seriously we need to avoid saying things that are patently untrue. Leave that to Scientologists and anyone who complained about the inclusion of "hardcore sex scenes" in Mass Effect.

Well, judging from what I hear, my friend has managed to lose me a girlfriend (the best one thus far), convinced others that I'm racist, sexist and elitist, goes around insulting people and doesn't know when to stop (you know, at the part when the target is upset), is virulently anti-Christian but not anything else, thinks he's incredibly intelligent and lauds this over others, when in fact he performed rather crappily in his exams (he insults people who did worse than him).

Despite all this though, he's still my friend. I wouldn't get rid of him, twat that he is.

You mentioned the aggressive aetheist? Try aggresive agnostic. He does not tell everyone there is no god, you are all wrong, he instead with his big smug smile, tell everyone that neither has been proven, all of you are arguing out of emotion and likely wrong. I am sure he feels soooo superior.

Nobody likes a fence-sitter. Atheists will think an aggressive agnostic to be a purposefully neutral smug git, and Theists, if they've read The Divine Comedy and others, will know that fence-sitters don't go unpunished.

"being one of those annoying atheists who can't just not believe in religion"

That was unnecessary, also a little hypocritical.

If it wasn't clear, I meant someone who instead of just being quietly non-religious (like the majority of atheist people) feels the need to make comments they think are snide and clever whereby, in reality, they are just dickheaded, annoying, stupid and the most of the time, completely wrong (as in the example where he thought Christians didn't believe in gravity. He genuinely thought he was being funny.)

You weren't clear, so sorry for the misunderstanding. Although if I'm reading the last bit of your reply right, in the right context he could be making a good point. I'm assuming he was talking about the theory of evolution and how if a person doesn't believe in evolutionary theory because it's a theory, they shouldn't believe in gravity either as it's also a theory. That comes up a lot and is actually a valid point sometimes.

Anyhow lets not turn this into a flame war, just because my post mentions the words "theory" and "evolution" it doesn't mean I'm arguing about anything 'KAY?

Shit, maybe I'M that kind of friend!? But how would I know? Eh... nah... I'm cool. Actually, I kind of like hanging around with people who never shut up and are overburdened with idiotic opinion... means I don't hafta try. At all.
