A supreme irony, but some would say they had it coming.

It's hard to discern true atheists from the "phase" atheists. I've known so many people who claimed to be atheist, but at the birth of their first child, found God. This has lead me to only count the truth atheist base as those who remain atheist after becoming a parent, or those who never have children, as their viewpoints will stay the same.

Teenagers and people in their 20s being atheist is as trendy as people the same age smoking weed. It tend to be used more as a "rebel and resist" mindset than a base for stance on faith and the supernatural amongst this age range.

What if I was an atheist since elementary school after learning abour genesis and comparing it to pokemon.

I'd be confused, because I went to a Catholic elementary school, and we were taught about evolution in science, and creationism from religion class, and there was never a conflict.

The issue with "creationists" is that they can't read. =D In Genesis, it says that God created man, etc. It never states in the Adam and Eve story that they were the FIRST people on earth. On the 6th day God created man, 7th he rested. The story of Adam and eve comes later after this information. It is known through most educated Christian circles that there was a whole world of creatures and people before Adam and Eve. Adam and Eve were kind of God's lab experiment to see what would happen.

My point is - an educated Christian believes in evolution as well, and it doesn't interfere with their faith. The two co-exist very well. Notice that most of the crazy bible thumpers come from areas with subpar or downright poor educational quality. So really, if evolution is your reasoning for Atheism, it doesn't make any sense to me.

Of course if Pokemon was accurate anyhow, the time it would take one of the creatures to evolve, Ash would have been nothing more than bones in a grave by the time it evolved. =D

Yeah I'm not quite sure why I became an Atheist but I know I was one since elementary school. 1 day I just decided I didn't want to go to church.
