Atheist … Furries?!

Jump to Comments

At first I couldn’t quite believe it, but there they are, on Livejournal and everything. Atheist furries. Actual adult human beings who like to dress up as big skanky bunnies and would love nothing more than if Richard Dawkins were a giant chipmunk they could yiff.

“This community is a place for furs who are Atheists to discuss their lack of religion, their problems with religion, looking at the world from a non-theistic point of view and so forth. … I believe as Richard Dawkins does that while religion may not be the root of all evil in the world, it is certainly the root of most of it. Let’s discuss that here.”

Many atheists say believing in God is like believing in the Easter Bunny; these atheists believe they are the Easter Bunny.

According to Furthling, one of the chattier atheistfurs, all furries should be atheists. It’s only natural:

“[S]ince animals don’t evince ritual or superstition, much less belief in god, it’s a meaningful trait of anthropomorphic characters that they are intelligent beings that don’t believe in god– part of a broader quality of “innocence” that such characters usually have. … All I’m saying is, I think “Atheist fur” is meaningful, distinctive, and quintessentially furry.”

Right now I’m shuddering like Kif on Futurama when he unwittingly gets a look at Zapp Brannigan’s fully exposed undercarriage.

EDIT: My friend Tuffy at FanDumb has almost convinced me Furthling’s argument actually sort of makes sense, though my cat isn’t an atheist — she seems have her own little cat-worshiping cult, of which she is also the deity. Still, I find the notion of a dude in a wolf suit lecturing the world about rationality a tad risible.

Meanwhile, Furthling has himself responded to my post! While I am pleased that he has acknowledged us as an “insignificant blog” (which is only two letters away from a “significant blog”!), I would like to offer proof that there are indeed people who like to dress up as skanky bunnies:

(Though admittedly he is less a Furry than a Furless.)
