A lot of atheist questions here, so I thought this'd help...

[Arcades057]

Oh come on, you can be more detailed than this. How is not accepting any random fairytale someone proposes an arrogant and irrational level of skepticism?

Well you can call it a random fairytale if you want. I prefer to look at the Bible as the world's oldest and most successful self-help book. People have turned to that book for inspiration for a long while, and they'll be doing it long after we're all gone. If they believe in something, let them. To ridicule them for their belief is ridiculous.

And don't defend it by saying "they make fun of us, too." This is true, but you believe in nothing. Therefore you aren't be ridiculed for your beliefs, but your disbelief.

Nice. Next why don't you target Mother Teresa.

Why should he, whe Chatterjee will do it for him? Hit this link and scroll down to the "Mother of All Myths" section for free chapters from a book problematizing the late Mother's saintly image.

Edit: Added missing words.

And here we have a catch-22: If a Christian hates someone for being an Atheist, then are they really a Christian at all...?

Exactly.

I hope that guy is going to enjoy the assault charges. For somebody so seemingly proud of soldiers defending the right to free speech he seems awfully intolerant of free speech.

This is an old joke. The version I heard before is that it was a Marine not a SEAL, but I suppose it varies depending on who is telling it.

 

[Pyrite]

"The SEAL calmly replied, "God was too busy today protecting America's soldiers who are protecting your right to say stupid **** and act like an *******. So He sent me.""

I mean, if god couldn't kill a small amount of romans, then I really doubt that he's going to be any good against IEDs or guerillas.

As for navy seals,
If you kill for money, you're a mercenary
If you kill for pleasure, you're a sadist.
If you kill for both, You're a Navy Seal!

YAYYYY

Where the hell did the erection come into this? I thought this was meant to be ironically funny, you guys have taken it way too seriously and furthermore showed hateful prejiduces.

The joke just wasn't funny, so I was making fun of it as such. Don't get me wrong, unprovoked violence can be quite humorous sometimes, but not in this instance.

There were many chances for it to be funny, but it just sucks. The erection part was to satirize how manly the Navy SEAL is.


Man, my sense of humor does NOT translate over the internet for some people.

What a dumb joke. I hope you die

 

[warpus]

If I was God and some guy said "If you're real, knock me off this platform in under 15 minutes", I would make it so that the guy farts when it gets really quiet near the end, just for the laughs... and to ruin the moment for the guy.

Ahem!

Pah! Making fun of silly beliefs is funny!

I mean come on, look at this:

Most of the antireligious stuff that many people post here are just sarcastic funny stuff.

 

[shortguy]

Not only was he a godless atheist, he was an ACLU member too!

Sounds like a run of the mill chain e-mail to me.

 

[malclave]

Here's a joke for you - Jesus's mom sold her virginity for a lame limping sheep (and Jesus had such a complex about it his mother told him he was "God's" baby).

Wow, you "laughed out loud" at that?

Pretty sad... but I guess that's what unceasing hatred of others does to one's sense of humor.

 

[King Flevance]

But God is supposed to be all-loving, so he cannot be indifferent. Would a loving God let a professor and his students burn in hell for all eternity?

This is a very common arguement about Chritianity. God is all-loving, but not all-forgiving.
