I'm an atheist, but I unsubscribed from r/atheism because i was sick of this shit. Don't bring it to r/funny.

[–]sapagunnar 62 points63 points ago

You missed /r/atheism, it's over there ->

[–]Bobzer 32 points33 points ago

Well aren't thou a courageous one.

[–]gigitythatwutshesaid 68 points69 points ago

Not Funny. Try /r/athiesm. Only funny here please.

[–]Kingblackfoot 32 points33 points ago

Okay... WE all have our own opinion, BUT that isn't cool bro if you want to do that then do it somewhere elts. You make all religious people look bad when we aren't bad.. You might think it is alright to post that but it can not be funny to a lot of people. It is as if I changed the title to "What athiest think they're doing..." It isn't as funny to you now is it?

All in all though. Don't judge a apple tree because there is 1 bad apple

[–]DoomSlug14 1 point2 points ago

Let he who is without sin cast the first stone.

[–]Kennyhurtmerchant 21 points22 points ago

/r/atheism is leaking again

[–]JeffHorlick 10 points11 points ago

Because all religion is universally incorrect on all accounts forever.

[–]SitnaltaPhix 4 points5 points ago

Well... yeah. Basically.

[–]gormster 0 points1 point ago

Yep.

[–]Apf4 8 points9 points ago

ITT anyone with any opinion is narrow minded

[–]XFraggerX 8 points9 points ago

Whenever I see posts like this (mocking religion), I imagine there's a fat guy somewhere furiously masturbating, thinking, "Oh yeah, that's right... No god... That's it, oh, oh man... Someone want's to argue... OHHHH!!!! Ah... You... You can't prove that. Oh yeah, that was good."

You're welcome for that visual.

[–]Polymarchos 2 points3 points ago

Is it wrong that your post turned me on a little?

[–]XFraggerX 2 points3 points ago

I can also write erotic novels, erotic pamphlets, and children's birthday cards.

[–]Darksteelone 0 points1 point ago

I like to imagine that the fat guy is TheAmazingAtheist, cus he is a douche and makes Atheists look REALLY bad.

[–]XFraggerX 0 points1 point ago

Funny, that's actually who I was going for.

[–]mr_mia_wallace 9 points10 points ago

as an athiest, stop being a cunt.

[–]Rebornthisway -3 points-2 points ago

The fuck. Just downvote if you don't like it. Any post with more downvotes than up, goes away. However, if more people like it than not, you're stuck with it, so stop complaining.

[–]Transmorphed 13 points14 points ago

Is it just me or has r/atheism been leaking a lot lately?

[–]Jeezum_Crepes 10 points11 points ago

/r/politics too, but I guess that's to be expected around election time

[–]Raymond890 0 points1 point ago

I think it's safe to say that reddit has been leaking.

[–]californiawait 3 points4 points ago

http://imgur.com/IbwD2 False my lil dlggro. Not all of religious people are breathing fire (though I would probably dig that).

[–]gormster 2 points3 points ago

... who the fuck are those people? Are they terrible? Great? This picture tells me nothing. They could be raging homophobes or racists or misogynists or terrorists; or they could be philanthropists or scientists or teachers or doctors. It could be a curling team for all I know.

[–]ROOCHEV 9 points10 points ago

[–]derrick88rose 3 points4 points ago

This is an ignorant post. This is for one not funny so don't bring it here. Secondly, you are only pointing out the radical and judgmental religious people. I for one follow Christianity closely and I actually read it for what it is. I am commanded to love everyone no matter how bad they may be. I personally forgive you for posting this so that I am doing what I have been commanded of. There is nobody that doesn't deserve love. Nobody.

[–]gormster -2 points-1 points ago

If you only show love because you are "commanded" to, you do not know what love really is.

[–]derrick88rose 0 points1 point ago

An opinionated response. People were commanded to hate by their respective leaders and I think they did a good job of it. The same goes for people being commanded to love. And more specifically we are commanded to love our enemies. We aren't commanded to love the people we already do love like our parents or significant others. That is a love that I actually know therefore rendering your statement a bit ignorant and short of thought.

[–]gormster 0 points1 point ago

It's not that opinionated. Perhaps not very well worded. If you think that love upon command is love of any kind, then your concept of love is flawed. People living in a dictatorship aren't commanded to hate, they are persuaded to hate. They are taught and tricked and convinced to hate.

[–]TrueMilli -3 points-2 points ago

Yeah, sorry, that doesn't sound like a healthy attitude. But thanks for serving as example.

And at least 661 people found this funny.

[–]teh_fearless_leader 2 points3 points ago

I think this is an overly vast generalization. I'm not quite religious, but spiritual, and it was about 2 weeks ago when my best friend of about 10 years found out. Not all religious people feel the need to incessantly spread their beliefs.

[–]mastersword83 0 points1 point ago

a redditor basically just said that religious people are badasses, you can't watch that video and not like the pyro

[–]Mylemons -1 points0 points ago

All I know is rainblower ftw

[–]50percentJoe -1 points0 points ago

Earth is 4.54 billion years old, the average person lives to be 80. The only reason I hope there is life after death is because when you think about it, no matter what we do its almost entirely pointless in the grand scheme of things.

[–]DigitalZiggurat 0 points1 point ago

Fuck, now I'm going to play Team Fortress 2 for the rest of the night.

[–]Apf4 0 points1 point ago

I see a distinct lack of OP in this thread, successful troll is successful.

[–]conanoid 0 points1 point ago

As a religious person, i still laughed pretty hard at this.

[–]aido727 0 points1 point ago

Uh oh, looks like you made fun of a reddit no-no topic. Try gingers next time, there aren't enough of us to stop you heartless bastards from mentally wounding us...

tl;dr - butt-hurt people need learn not to take such offense

[–]Teretz_Commando 1 point2 points ago

Go to atheism. I'm a Christian, and I call myself a religious person. I've never hurt you, I've never burned any buildings down, been in a fight, or caused any sort of mass violence. So please shove this picture up your ass.

[–]adamzep91 -2 points-1 points ago

But don't you see? ALL religion is extremism! And us Christians are just as bad as those burning down embassies!

[–]nuggynugs 1 point2 points ago

I kind of see your point but I resent the idea of 'us christians' sort of implying 'them Muslims' are the one's burning down embassies. Could you not have stuck with the extremism theme and called yourself 'us moderate religious people'?

[–]adamzep91 1 point2 points ago

Good point, I didn't at all mean to imply that.

[–]Fishermang 0 points1 point ago

That's generalizing and stereotyping, and the whole theme is unworthy of Pyro.

[–]DoomSlug14 -1 points0 points ago

This is just straight up offensive man. You know I hear 2x more atheist crap in one day than I do religious. You can complain about us all you want but you are the one causing the fire right now man. Go back to /r/atheism

[–]testreker -2 points-1 points ago

you missed /r/untrueandnotfunny

PS every civilization humans have ever created has had religion. Youre an idiot.

[–]nuggynugs 1 point2 points ago

PS that sentence didn't make much sense. Also what's the defense there? Every civilization up until very recently loved a bit of slavery. Doesn't mean it was right.

[–]testreker 0 points1 point ago

That if it was just spreading lies and deceit then we wouldnt be doing it anymore, and it wouldnt of survived thousand of years. And no, every civilization did not have slavery. Hunter-gatherers had no use for slavery. If youre going to be dumb, try to make it less obvious.

[–]clockworkatheist 0 points1 point ago

And the majority of those religions involved some sort of sacrifice. Hebrews sacrificed an astonishing number of animals, as well as the occasional human, Aztecs sacrificed humans, Baal received children as a sacrifice, etc. Christians have moved on from sacrificing, now they just try to keep children from learning about evolution. I'm not even going to start on Islam, the riots, killings, and general destruction speak for themselves.

[–]testreker 0 points1 point ago

thanks for naming a fraction of a 1% of the religions to prove some sort of point.

The fact is religion serves a purpose in society. People thinking that religion in general is just a political, money hungry scheme are just as ignorant (and i mean that in the classic sense, "Lacking knowledge or awareness in general; uneducated or unsophisticated." not as the overused OMG U R IGNORANT internet slang) as the christian extremists.

[–]DeepFriedChildren[!] -1 points0 points ago

r/FUNNY:
'Rape, LOLOLOLOL, if you don't think rape is funny go to hell'
'Hurr hurr hurr, that's the best 9/11 joke I've heard all day'
'Go make me a sandwich!' x 8 billion
and yet as soon as religion is brought up...
'HOW DARE YOU INSULT THE PROPHET, THIS ISN'T FUNNY AT ALL!'

[–]Rzr26 -1 points0 points ago

Religious people is also replaceable with atheists in this picture.

[–]TheFlamingLlama 0 points1 point ago

If this post was a band it would be The Bravery

[–]thatmanstan -2 points-1 points ago

wrong subreddit my man

[–]daStronksie -3 points-2 points ago

Wrong sub-reddit, bigot.

[–]Zax487 -3 points-2 points ago

Dat Sandvich!

[–]thenonlurker -2 points-1 points ago

Meet the Jehovas witness.

[–]adamzep91 -3 points-2 points ago

/r/atheism is that way. Gtfo.

[–]adamzep91 -3 points-2 points ago

How do you know if you're in a room with an /r/atheism redditor?

Don't worry, they'll let you know in the most condescending way possible.

[–]dataninja368 0 points1 point ago

No comments about how this applicable to bronies?! Good work, Reddit. Everyone gets a cookie!

[–]GNsLifeStories -5 points-4 points ago

repost

[–]sir_grumph -3 points-2 points ago

Wasn't there a Reddit thread about this video in which a guy was really, REALLY upset about how his Pyro was portrayed?
