It was a joke.

[–]xternal7 2 points3 points ago

Dragon is intact, a theoretical Christian who'd be crazy enough to do this would link that creature with Satan, the statue isn't missing, therefore fake.

[–]antrp93 0 points1 point ago

Sad thing is, I live with parents who have made that connection before :/

[–]xternal7 1 point2 points ago

I don't figure they'd be much satisfied if they saw this — it's a coat of arms of the city I'm living it for the time of attending the Uni. According to the legend, he's a guardian.

[–]antrp93 0 points1 point ago

Man, it got to the point of ridiculousness to where they took out anything dragon like in my little brothers room. Associating it with "evil" or "satanic". My little bro liked dragons like any other 9 year old boy. But they made him believe that it was evil. I thought it was just all around nonsense.

[–]Thickensick 2 points3 points ago

Im going to repost this, but tell everyone it was my 10 year old kid's room.

Stop taking advantage of people who don't pay attention to reddit...on reddit

[–]Fullerer 2 points3 points ago

We get so many fake posts by people trying to demonstrate how bad r/atheism supposedly is, the sheer number of them means a tiny minority inevitably work. When this does happen, the haters go "AHA! See how stupid they are LOLS!?!"

And the vast majority of misses, such as I'm sure this one will be, are simply swept under the rug and forgotten.

[–]supergenius1337 -1 points0 points ago

Or in other words, confirmation bias.

[–]Fullerer -1 points0 points ago

And I'm sure a significant number of the upvotes here are from the people on the thread where this brilliant idea came from.

[–]supergenius1337 -1 points0 points ago

Wouldn't surprise me. It makes no sense though. I mean, from what I can gather, their plan seems to be:

  1. Fake shit on r/atheism.

  2. Upvote said fake shit to make /r/atheism look bad.

3a. If /r/atheism believes you, accuse /r/atheism of being a circlejerk despite the fact that many of the upvotes are from those dumbasses faking shit.

3b. If /r/atheism doesn't believe you, just pretend this never happened and then accuse /r/atheism of being a circlejerk anyway.

In other words, a crappy circlejerk.

[–]Fullerer -1 points0 points ago

Exactly. I'm using this to respond in the other thread, if that's ok with you.

[–]supergenius1337 -1 points0 points ago

Go for it.

[–]Fullerer 1 point2 points ago

Off you fuck.

[–]Guck_Mal -1 points0 points ago

Am I the only one not buying it simply because of the "life size" Captain America?

[–]supergenius1337 -1 points0 points ago

waitwut99, you are a lying POS. Link.

[–]Vikingmattress -4 points-3 points ago

Dude you're making us look bad with this shit.

[–]Sriad 21 points22 points ago

Sorry to be a hater, but /r/atheism needs no one's help to look bad.

I'm looking at you, 1,000-upvote dog-blowing-a-camel comic.

[–]Vikingmattress 0 points1 point ago

Lol upvote for harsh truth. A tip of the hat to you sir.

[–]leftoverpokshoulder 0 points1 point ago

Wait, is Captain America the father, or the son?

[–]osmuconarora 0 points1 point ago

..or the Holy Toast?
