ad metaphors aside, I wish people would cite examples of the big meanie atheists. I have yet to see anything particularly egregious. I’m not saying it doesn’t exist, but we have well known religious leaders like Pat Robertson blaming the Hatian earthquake on the Hatians not kissing his God’s ass enough (true story), whereas we have P.Z. Meyers driving a nail through a stale piece of bread.

In addition – and no one ever mentions this – there seem to be a hell of a lot more batshit insane religionists than there are batshit insane atheists.

(Two things:

1. Why do they insist upon spelling it “athiest”? Don’t all browsers have spell-checkers now?

2. He did capitalize it, though. Does that make us a religion?)

Well. If…

Personally, I think the main problems Athiest are having (besides a lot of them being just hateful and close minded in general on the internet)

And you were hoping…

…I am a Christian, I hope you will be objective, and not just an asswipe.

Then…
Fuck off.

That said, the statement of, “I dislike the fanatics on both sides” reminds me a lot of the political debate where the precious middle road is fawned over by the media because they are able to balance in the middle of voting for candidates who will anally rape their civil rights and those who will anally rape their savings accounts. In other words, they are middle road because they vote Republican or blue dog Democrat. (Is there a difference?)

Bad metaphors aside, I wish people would cite examples of the big meanie atheists. I have yet to see anything particularly egregious.

You tell me which is worse.

I dislike the fanatics on both sides. The one that makes Christians look stupid, and ignorant, and the one that makes Athiests look like pompus snobs who have no knowledge of either science or religion. Personally, I think the main problems Athiest are having (besides a lot of them being just hateful and close minded in general on the internet) with Christianity is creation, Evolution, and Jesus doing miracles, his birth ect. I have waited to tell you this because of everyones bias, I am a Christian, I hope you will be objective, and not just an asswipe.

Ow.

I think I broke my brain reading all these comments–not because I just read 90+ comments in one sitting, because I’ve done worse, but because it amazes me how many Christian folks have found it necessary to stumble along over here and voice their loud opinions.

I bet I could show this to a couple of Christian friends and they’d laugh their asses off. It’s like these guys are trying to be offended. If anything, we’re insult Scientologists more with this comic, yet I haven’t seen one of them come along and be pissed.

Jesus. (Oh, wait, my bad. I seem to have used the lord’s name in vain or some shiznit. JESUS CHRIST WHAT HAVE I DONE.)

Come on! Leave the “rebranded mormonology” alone! at least they never had a crusade or told Africans not to wear condoms.

Hey, religious people- wake up…none of you are right. There is no God. If there were a God, he/she would not expect people to worship him, sacrifice for him, kill for him, pray to him, etc…since he/she would be all powerful and our emotions would mean nothing.

Get on with your lives- be good people because you love each other and want to be good people and live good lives. Live for today- there is no afterlife.

Cute cartoon, I love those guys! Great commentary on religious views and tolerance.

Fascinating discussion, I got here through “Stumble Upon.” Thank you for the information, and all of the comments have been very interesting. I came across the following link regarding the Origins of Scientology (the Campbell-Hubbard bet), it’s quite interesting as well!

BTW how about, we are all “children of God,” we are all “God,” everything (the Universe) is “God.” I believe in ‘The Secret’ and ‘What the Bleep Do We Know?’

LMAO…the first five books of the Old Testament (Torah) are much, much older than the New Testament. And remember Derricia…Jesus was a Jew, so you basically called your “savior” a ‘tard. Nice!

Derricia – Well, L. Ron was a real man. And who knows, maybe out there in the vastness of the universe there’s an alien dude named Xenu.

As for Jesus… Certainly there was a dude around that time period named Jesus (it was a common name). And there is a good chance there was a real dude named Jesus that was crucified and he might have even had diciples and followers in his own new little cult.

But did all the myths ascribed to the mythical Jesus as described in the gospels really happen to a real dude named Jesus? Ehhh, not likely.

My point: there’s about equal ‘evidence’ of factuality for both religions.

Oh lord, please save me from your followers… I think that when anybody invokes one of the Conservation laws to prove a prevailing scientific theory is not possible in an internet forum, it should be a form of Godwin’s Law.

And the last little anti-semitic part? You clearly Poed out on that one. Wow, that was some seriously offensive massive racist ignorance.

The difference between Christianity’s “crazy” beliefs and the crazy shit we hear about scientology is the fact that atleast some of the stuff in Christianity has been proven. there was such a thing as the holy grail and it is proven that Jesus was a real man. i dont see the proof of aliens coming to Earth and injecting their souls into human bodies. Some Christians may argue that it is our soul that makes us human and others argue its our intellect. Either way, even if some big guy in the sky or matter coming out of nothing (big bang: which violates the Conservation of mass law) or that all the mass was in a tiny ball and expanded (which also hasnt been proven to be possible) WHATEVER! No other religion can critisize another one. People who argue about the branches of Christianity are just dumb. You are not considering the Christians who do not place themselves into a category but are merely christians. This is arguement that will never end and even so called atheists have their very own set of beliefs (or if you want to say religion) They need their beliefs for confort and to be honest i think some people become atheists for attention.. just to be “different”

I personally think that Jews are kind of retarded. You believe in the first half of the Bible but not the second? Thats like saying half of a person exists and you refuse to acknowledge the other half (stupid metephor) doesnt really make sense..

everyone is entitled to their opinion but in reality no one has room to judge.. and come on guys it was a JOKE!
