Comedy Gold
You probably remember that 1954 Christian activity book that I mentioned a week ago. I only found two good images in it, but I saved the best for last. The above image is also from this book. As you can see, it lends itself beautifully to the addition of word balloons.
In fact, it’s such comedy gold that I was able to come up with eight additional captions for this thing! Seven of these “improvements” follow (I hope you aren’t on dial-up). I just stuck the eighth on the end of the Jerry Bergman article. You’ll want to look at that again, if it wasn’t there the first time you looked.
As before, if you can think of any great captions, put them in the comments. I haven’t had the woman say anything yet. Maybe you can think of that angle.

Funny stuff, particularly the “martyr” one….

Fascinating how you set up straw men and beat them down. My you are clever, aren’t you?
I guess the morally retarded need entertainment too…

I don’t see any straw men. Typical fundie. Makes a claim and then doesn’t back it up.
BTW, these cartoons aren’t for the morally retarded. You’ll have to find stuff you like elsewhere. Atheists are more moral than any Christian, for the simple reason that they arrived at their moral code by rational thought. The morally retarded are the fundies like you, because they have no capacity to determine right from wrong without being told by someone else.
I love your website, too. I just found a lot more material!

Of course you cannot see any straw men, that would require being objective and applying critical thinking. You are too busy scrawling your hate on cartoons.

Critical thinking!!!
From a fundie!!!
What a scream!!!
Plus, you still haven’t provided any support for any of your claims!

Here is your proof:
http://www.bay-of-fundie.com
And there are no cartoons on my server so I don’t see you getting much material from there. What are you, 15?
May 3rd, 2009 at 8:17 pm
Again, you fail to provide any proof. Pointing to my entire website to back up your specific claims is like pointing to the entire Earth and saying “Look at that”. That’s your evidence? That’s your idea of critical thinking?
Unless you start providing real information, you aren’t contributing to the conversation, which runs afoul of my comment policy. Put up or shut up.

Woman: What’s in the can, Billy?
Boy: It’s my imagination, Mom. Reverend Smith said I wouldn’t be needing it any more.

I’m rather surprised that “Prophetic Observer” thinks that comics are a lower form of communication. Almost everything written on a fundie site makes ME laugh…

Woman: The can is empty Johnny, haven’t you had any luck collecting?
Boy: Well, Father O’Connor put his donation somewhere else entirely…

WOMAN: “What’s up! sonnyboy?”
BOY: “I’m collectin’ money ma’am.
WOMAN: “Collectin’ what? Child? Did you ever think about what it was that you are collecting? Those coins?
BOY: “Yes ma’am!!! Those coins are going to help the needy.”
WOMAN: “Do these coins that you are collecting have value?”
BOY: “Yes they do!! The coins help the needy!! I have seen it myself, I have seen the results.”
WOMAN: “The coins you possess have a value only in your mind. I can change your mind.
BOY: “You can’t change my mind about Jesus!!!”
WOMAN: “What about money? Why does money have value?”
DIRECTIONS: Woman pulls a $100 bill out of her pocket and hands it over to the boy.
WOMAN: This is yours. Are you happy that I gave that to you?
BOY: [astonished] “Ow WOW!! ma’am — oh yes I am!!!!”
WOMAN: Now suppose that you left my doorstep and everything had changed. And currency that was minted by the United States Government was no longer valid. That is to say that there is no single person in the country of the United States of America who has a penny to piss on because there is no such thing as money.
BOY: “Well, so – I could see the whole thing that you was sayin”bout money — kinda like the same thing you was sayin’ ’bout ‘ligion”
WOMAN: “You’re a good boy! Take this $100 bill and do whatever the fuck you want with it.”

Your comments to the fundie challenger, if you could call him that, were pathetic and made me embarrassed for his lack of insight into this cruel world. and it is cruel, because we are out here going it alone.
I think fundies like that “all-knowing” believer the ‘prophetic observer” are afraid. afraid of a world where they are not special little unique snowflakes. with a human god MADE IN THEIR IMAGE (yes, a human god apparently born of a virgin, JUST like in the 12 other religious myths and legends that came up with a strikingly similar story hundreds of years before christianity, that all have virgins as the messiah-bearers. just like now in the middle east, where the only women worth a damn are virgins.hmmmm. coincidence or just stupid bovine farm animals perpetuating the only story they know?) die for their unique snowflake sins.
The sooner people stop believing in the unproven, unrealistic, impractical story of jesus/mohammed, a magical tale of well, magic and prophecies and indecipherable hocus pocus, the sooner we can start relying on actual solutions to problems and get some real positive progress made with our feeble-minded civilzation. enough with the stupid fracking wars, greed, child molestation, repressed women considered unequal, churches exploiting the weak and mentally unstable…and so on. religion is wrong. and the easy way out. it hits the same vein of addiction as do drugs, alcohol and greed…it becomes THE ONLY WAY for people who would otherwise be addicted to something else. the only way through this life is to have faith in yourself. each other. pray for a better world, but don’t pray to something that doesn’t listen, care or obey those prayers. pray to focus and committ, not to expect divine intervention, it never happens. NEVER. god is dead. gone. moved on. its nobody but us chickens out here. let’s make something useful of ourselves. for US. Imagine.
