If athiests ruled the world

Holy fuck

**Infernus** · 04-05-2009, 10:55 PM

Yeah I stumbled upon this yesterday, it was pretty hilarious.

**gismo** · 04-06-2009, 07:56 AM

Lol, just before it finished I was thinking "I've heard actual christians spout shit like this", then at the finish, I couldn't help but lol.

**sycld** · 04-06-2009, 09:04 AM

I was just about to quote the thing from http://www.fstdt.net about the atheists having wild sex with prostitutes and watching gays fucking followed by crucifying/burning the Christian, since I thought it was relevant.

And then I realized, well, you know.

guys

i don't know how to say this

but 95% of the time, reading forum posts aloud is going to sound ridiculous, especially when it's a specialized forum for extremists.

this is about as funny as that faggot trying to satire teaching boys to control their urges

**coqauvin** · 04-06-2009, 09:28 AM

ps sycld if my future wife ever asks you and one of your fairy friends to fuck in my bed because she wants to watch, you had better say yes

or else.

**pringles** · 04-06-2009, 02:20 PM

haha That was pretty good

To be honest, these posts were funny even in text form. In fact, I think the "if atheists ruled the world" post was funnier as text since you got to add the inflections to the voices yourself and visual the scene in your head.

Hey, I'm not a Jesus-loving Christian that would refuse such a request and deserves to be BURNED and HANGED FOR HIS BELIEF.

no, I did, and they are retarded, but there is a difference between ignorance and comedy.

Very valid point, but I don't think some of these comments are extremist, you would not believe how many times I have heard someone say the line about "if we evolved from monkeys then why do monkeys still exist" or a similar variable. They aren't extremist by any means, just massively ignorant on science.

Just because there are more of them than there should be doesn't mean they aren't extremists. Extremist does not necessarily imply minority.

You're fucking pathetic.

**coqauvin** · 04-06-2009, 06:04 PM

this kind of shit only really seems to appeal to people who have a hard on for hating on anything remotely resembling religion

i admit the visual is strange and can be oddly comical, but you're taking the bottom of the barrel and implying it is representative of the whole

this is just as misguided as their description of 'if atheists ruled the world'

i don't hate anything remotely resembling religion.

i hate anything resembling close-mindedness and a spirit of anti-intellectualism. there's a huge difference.

heh, i hate everything remotely resembling religion (except yours, man; you're the exception -- you're my exception) and i pretty much agree with you about the video.

belittling religious people like this video does -- pretending that they're all like this -- is counter-productive, i feel.

Are you arguing that "If humans evolved from monkeys, why aren't babies born monkeys?" sounds reasonable if read in a forum post and not read aloud?

**coqauvin** · 04-06-2009, 08:18 PM

oh of course i am

dumbass

**Nevrmore** · 04-07-2009, 01:45 AM

Coq you're getting really worked up in this thread. Does Christian bashing just stick a cock right up your ass, or what?

**gismo** · 04-07-2009, 04:05 AM

I got a lol out of it. Do I think it is representitive of all christians? Of course not. Its a piss take of the ones who like to grab the media spotlight and shit all over their name. Its a piss take of all the people who fear evolution but do not know the slightest thing about it.

Do you need to be so confrontational? I don't think anyone in this thread has said anything particularly stupid or aggressive, so nobody deserves to be talked down to or insulted. We're having a debate.

Settle.

Now carry on.

**coqauvin** · 04-07-2009, 09:10 AM

It's because people bash christianity under the same pretext that christianity bashes other people - the blanket of "Well, I'm better than you, you misguided fool." Any bashing that's done paints the basher with the same brush as the bashee. The difference is, it's hip for people who wish to be seen as intelligent to hate on religion as loudly as possible right now, so this kind of thing is encouraged, which is completely retarded, both in the pejorative and literal sense.

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to coqauvin again.

Glad to see someone other than me has actually caught this.

I think it is a simple fact of atheism or "non-religious" becoming more popular. In the latest polls it is at 15% in the US. The more people who share a common ground, the more likely it is to come up.

I think coquavin was commenting less on the frequency of it coming up and more on the context in which it comes up. Some people throw atheism around like it makes them geniuses and instantly better than anyone and everyone who isn't an atheist.

Ah... the pot and the kettle (not you specifically)

i really don't understand what you're getting worked up over. do you like figures like george w. bush? do you like it when people think the USA is specially favored by god and that the king james version of the bible is the only authoritative inspired one (even to the exclusion of its precedents in hebrew, greek, and aramaic)? do you like it when people who identify themselves as christians bash other religions?

the thing is that these stupid forum posts reflect an attitude adopted by many christians in the US and abroad, and it's scary. some people such as myself are intelligent enough to take a nuanced view of things and realize that not all christians are like this and to differentiate between christians like you and christians like these.

however, way too many christians hold the views that these people do, no matter how much you want to deny it. these are stupid beliefs that are just as stupid when read as text as they are recited out loud, and the humor comes from their nature as self-parody and from their obvious absurdity

**Syme** · 04-07-2009, 12:15 PM

Yeah, I don't think that mocking the viewpoints that are mocked in the OP video is at all the same as mocking Christianity or Christians or religion in general. Coqauvin, I think you're jumping to conclusions if you perceive things like this video as simply atheists bashing Christians because they think it makes them look intellectual, or because they think they're better than Christians. I'd perceive it as non-retarded people bashing utterly idiotic ideas because those ideas deserve to be bashed. It's moron-bashing, not Christian-bashing.

Its humorous. Just because I laugh at a racist joke doesn't mean I'm racist.

According to the principal of my school you just acted on "the first steps to genocide."
thats a quote in context of racist jokes.

**coqauvin** · 04-07-2009, 02:41 PM

Ok, so this video isn't a particularly poignant example of what I'm against, but that's not the point I'm making - it's still relatively representative of what I was talking about.

**Syme** · 04-07-2009, 03:12 PM

Honestly, I just see some (socially-awkward-looking) guys making fun of some particularly idiotic things that religious fundamentalists have said on their forums.

well, i'm sorry that you're such a persecuted martyr. i hope this aria i'm playing on the world's tiniest violin will give you some comfort while you're being crucified.

**coqauvin** · 04-07-2009, 03:33 PM

Yes, but we can describe anything solely by a literal description and miss the subtext of what they're saying. It's not strictly speaking the content of this video that perturbs me - it's the spirit that goes into making it, the spirit that enjoys it and the perpetuation of that mindset that aggravates me.

This isn't about me or my beliefs or lack thereof. It's the 'let's all hate religion' bandwagon that has appeared recently that bothers me. The people who hop on that are just as misguided as those they hate, and for the same reasons.
