Funny anti-religious Internet pics

i think such images fuel fundamentalist hatred and don't combat it.

It makes people angry, stubborn, resentful, unreasonable and sectarian.

It's an egregious, personal, offensive insult. It violates the golden rule. The effect is divisive.

What good will come of it?

Unfortunately, that image in particular is the same sort of "humor" Fred Phelps enjoys. It's more or less crafted to be nothing but hurtful.

I support the Westboro Baptist Church's legal (American) freedom to make similar hateful speech.

I also condemn it.

Blasphemy is fun and beliefs that are detrimental to society do not deserve respect and deserve to be mocked and ridiculed.

If people take criticism of their beliefs (religious or secular) as a personal attack it is not my fault. My intent is not to provoke for the sake of provoking but to criticize ideas that are harmful and unsubstantiated. If believers want respect, then they must be treated as adults who are responsible and culpable for what they assert for better and for worse.

I'm talking about the farip in post #1186.

If you see that as non-provoking, impersonal criticism then you must also appreciate criticisms like "Matt burns in hell" and "Fags die, god laughs."
 
Re: Funny anti-religious Internet pics

There should be no special reverence for people's religious theories compared to their theories on wave/particle duality, or their theories of the load-bearing capacity of a new design of metal beam.

It would be considered unconvincing to refute a physics paper by showing a caricature of the researcher taking a dump on a science journal. And it would likely be offensive to the researcher. But I am certain such a caricature has been offered in the history of physics debates, and no one worries about the impugned physicist being wounded.

Also, if it had been a picture of hitler shitting out a page of Mein Kampf, I doubt anyone would argue. It is certainly debatable, but perfectly legitimate, to argue that one religion or another is responsible for a comparable amount of harm.

I'd rather people express how they really feel instead of censoring themselves and worrying about everyone's feelings. I don't believe in hell or god so those comments really have no effect on me but I can understand that it is meant to be an insult.

Muslims don't regard the Koran, and its significance to their own personhood, as a researcher regards his notes.

Shitting on the Koran is wounding, in the same order that it is wounding to people to shout that the deceased is an "aids faggot" at his funeral.

Worrying about this sort of thing requires the merest thoughtfulness. I appreciate that for the most part, that is the course we follow around here.
