Apparently people who have no problem believing themselves to be Level 40 Blood Elves riding giant purple chickens have a harder time imagining there’s a big bearded guy in the sky watching over them. Yep, atheism has come to the World of Warcraft, and to hear some tell it, that’s not such a good thing:
Atheism these days has gone from a belief system to a lifestyle. Now you have all these kids running around screaming “SKREW U GOD!! LULZ” because they think its the cool thing, not because they have come to any decision regarding their beliefs.
Others have a more positive view of the development:
Well, I’m 16 which is a bit better than 13…. I’ve gone to church 2 times. Bad experiences. There is ZERO proof that any of that religion stuff is real, and there is ZERO way to ever prove it. So, until it’s proven that there really is a god I will continue to stay athiest. And if I ever found out it was real, I would convert to satanism, simply because that’s what’s up.
Still others think the whole debate is for squares, daddy-o!
Psch, Aesthetic is old and busted, Nihilism is the new hottness
Speaking of hotness, if you’d like to buy a sexy Level 70 Blood Elf Paladin lady, here’s one for only $950
She comes with:
225 riding skill with 5 mounts; a summoned horse for paladin’s only, one level 40 ground mount (blue hawkstrider), two level 60 ground mounts (swift purple hawk strider and a Frostwolf from battle ground reputation), and an Outlands flying mount (Green Windrider).
And (imaginary) boobies!

This has less to do with Atheism taking any great stand and a normal shift in social evolution. I am imagine most of these kids were not indoctorinated in a church at an early age. So the fear of God wasn’t placed in them or they were taken to church waaaay tooo much so they are rebelling against their parents. In the long run many people have these internal conflicts over faith some come out as religious zealots and others Aetheist or just don’t give two fart either way like myself. But it gets harder with each generation to keep the cutain up on any supernatural belief due to technology and the global veiw on society.

Madalyn Murray O Hair was a Dawkins type atheist in the 60s, and her son became a Christian priest! (She disowned him shortly after!)

Isn’t the World of Warcraft were useless dweebs, with no social life, go to watch their importance in the world – die?
