Re: Funny anti-religious Internet pics

Blasphemy is a great thing.

Religions don't deserve to be respected. They're a collection of lies which hinder progress.

Don't agree? Well of course you don't. Just consider that everyone on this board should have been executed many times over by now as per the Muslims, Jews, and Christians.

Mikey, don't be bothered by this irrational statement of faith which ignores evidence and utilizes fallacious reasoning.

Militant atheists are as bad as far-right deists.

Not as bad, but certainly as annoying.

This thread will upset many people. Awesome.

Militant? LMAO.

Yes, do what you always do - shake your head, roll your eyes, laugh it off and pretend you're absolutely correct while thumbing your nose down claiming to be oh-so intellectual and superior.

If your head was anymore up your ass i'd swear you were a creationist, oblivious and yet so sure at the same time.

Kinda funny. At least funnier than some of the pics(though I think I laughed hardest at Topher's second one on this page).

Deists?

Deists are pretty easy-going types who tolerate most religions and agnostics, but aren't bothered terribly by atheists.

I think you mean "theists".

Actually, the answer is "the second".

Re: Funny anti-religious Internet pics

My statement is totally correct.

Read your Bible and stop conveniently picking and choosing what verses you follow. (Or do the smart thing and just reject it entirely.)

Excellent example of picking and choosing.

See, there's a later section called "the Prophets", where God makes plain that justice and mercy are what count. Then there's a later section where God tells the church that all those old rules are gone; just don't kill people, be promiscuous, and a few other things.

So your statement is false, because it's based on a false generalization, and your defense is false, because it does exactly what you accuse me of.

If you're going to criticize something, at least get a cursory knowledge of what you're talking about. Being able to look up some verses and pounce using them just shows you have no idea what you're talking about.


BTW, you know that word translated "abomination"? It used to be rendered as "unclean". And God himself tells Peter (the alleged first pope) not to call unclean anything God has made.

I leave the conclusion as an exercise for the student.

He is quite similar.

I sighed at Topher's second one. If Tebow and other Christians actually read their Bibles, they'd thank God just as much for getting sacked, for having to call a locksmith and pay $80 to get into the car after losing keys . . . and for not having enough money to put food on the table for their kids.

The only time special thanks are due is if you asked God for a specific thing and it happened.

To render the first relevant Bible verse into colloquial English, "He sends good things, and makes shit happen". The second: "He makes everything work for good, for those who love Him". So when shit happens, it's for the Christian's good -- and God should get praised.

I'll believe Tebow's piety is real when I see him on the field praising God for having gotten his face smeared in the mud and the ball knocked free to be recovered by the other team.

Cute. But it implies that persecution depends on numbers, which isn't so.

THough I'm wondering what the artist meant by putting the grey figures in tidy rows.

Re: Funny anti-religious Internet pics

Kulindahr, in your mind, "pumpernickel" may be what most of us would commonly refer to as a bobsleigh, perhaps with some etymological precedent found in some long-forgotten dusty library, secreted away in another land. And perhaps you're happy to take the pumpernickel down the track at 150 km/h in a latex catsuit.

But when you begin speaking with the larger public, it is helpful to at least acknowledge that a different meaning is not only top-of-mind for many people, but also not without foundation.

To most people, particularly gay people, "christianity" is defined by a more expansive track record than just the theology of a few inoffensive thinkers who might happen to share your creed. Christianity is as christianity does, and it has not always been a pretty picture.

Yes. That one.

Since Crash did exactly what he always does(act superior, try to give me a lesson on the meaning of the terminology I used against him, then lowered himself to using "net language" in an effort to try and "insult" someone), no response needed to his bullshit. If I thought atheists were supposed to be a group, i'd be offended by his existence... thank hell that's not the case.

Oh, and university boy, I do know what militant means.

Damn. Guess that qualifies as a response to him. Ah well, never said I was perfect.

If I had a penny for every time you've mentioned "mob rule" or "tyranny of the majority" under the rubric of "things to be guarded against" I would have all the remaining pennies before they're withdrawn from circulation.

Satire is both intellectually challenging and culturally delightful. It has been a necessary part of civilization for centuries if not millennia.

Designed to provoke, inspire, challenge, or simply amuse, it does not require the approval of those whose sense of humour cannot manage it. It's a damn funny thread with no requirement of inspiring a rational discussion. Though I daresay it lends itself to it.

Re: Funny anti-religious Internet pics

Some people are bound to be hurt by some of the pics in this thread in exactly the same way some gay people are bound to be hurt by the anti-gay images the Phelps use.

Some of this borders on intentionally hurting people's feelings, just as the Phelps' signs are beyond the pale.

Criticism, satire and discussion in the realm of such a fractious and heartfelt topic is appropriate.

Ridicule is puerile and shitty.

The dead christians in the dumpster is perhaps a step beyond ridicule. It reminds me of other very controversial images that do little to make us understand one another.

Re: Funny anti-religious Internet pics

No, you don't, otherwise you would have known that militant atheism is so rare that it's barely even worth mentioning.

We have here on JUB what I'll call "intermittent militant atheism", which isn't quite random as sometimes it's set off by some egregiously stupid or barbaric thing some religious creature worthy of note has said or done. It might even be described as "bipolar II militant atheism", never getting terribly manic, but much of the time sinking into (visible) apathy.

This reminds me of a statement I heard from a professor of systematic theology, a statement found quite offensive by many who heard it at the time -- that anyone who cannot enjoy pointed satire about his or her faith lacks the capacity to be a good systematic theologian.

Re: Funny anti-religious Internet pics

Oh yes they do. Most Christians don't even realize the Bible endorses sex slavery and capital punishment for girls who have sex before marriage.

No, it doesn't. Claims that it does are based on the pick-and-choose approach to the Bible, which is as asinine from atheists as from fundamentalists.

Wow, you are really clueless. The debate in that thread wasn't really about evolution. It went off-topic, and was about whether or not we can say for sure, given the evidence, that there's definitely only one god, as opposed to no gods, or multiple gods.

If me correctly stating that evolution is a fact (and a theory) bothers you, most anything will.

Wow, you are really clueless.

It wasn't you stating anything.
