This is the best advice I've ever read.

I'll be sure to take heed and raise my future children accordingly.

DeadmanDexter · 2012-10-09T17:30:20+00:00

Lobotomy would be easier.

ellipsisca · 2012-10-09T18:48:00+00:00

I realized this is one of those things that get circle jerked around but God Damn! that is awesome...

[My first time seeing it by BTW]

Deceptiveideas · 2012-10-09T20:28:32+00:00

Eh, I kind of enjoy older reposts. Since the last time this was posted was about a year ago, I'm sure tons of people are going to see it. In fact, this was the first time I saw it.

It is kind of like replaying Star Wars Blu Ray edition with your kid. Repost? Sure, but it has been a long time...

it_am_silly · 2012-10-09T19:41:21+00:00

40% from two votes? That's some interesting maths.

culpepper · 2012-10-09T14:44:51+00:00

Holy shit, that's awesome!!

natedog62 · 2012-10-09T16:45:29+00:00

Don't let them on reddit.

jpaul3211 · 2012-10-09T17:02:34+00:00

"What is the best way to score karma from r/athiesm?" repost old shit.

AnnRutledge · 2012-10-09T19:51:29+00:00

This is my friend in a nutshell. She has no idea what the difference is between 'when' and 'whenever' and will only use whenever. She has no grammar skills, is passable in writing (except the legibility) It saddens me.

Bobthemathcow · 2012-10-09T20:34:52+00:00

So THAT'S why my friend is so stupid!

patholio · 2012-10-09T20:39:40+00:00

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

borgfinkleton · 2012-10-09T20:51:57+00:00

This is older than sin, pun intended.

LordAnon5703 · 2012-10-09T20:55:09+00:00

What would have been the reaction if the question was " How do I keep my child from being religious?"?

fotolabman · 2012-10-09T20:55:36+00:00

i had never heard of the jumbo jet from a tornado before...

and after reading about it and that people use that as a way to prove intelligent design it makes my head hurt

AnusHole · 2012-10-09T20:56:33+00:00

i saw this yesterday, what the fuck OP.

Tom_Zarek · 2012-10-09T20:57:50+00:00

The raving lunatic in the desert part got a little cluster fucked IMO.

paelf8 · 2012-10-09T21:27:33+00:00

This guy is my hero.

noksky · 2012-10-09T21:32:23+00:00

Amen.

TEmpTom · 2012-10-09T21:33:58+00:00

Honestly if they are dumb enough to post a question like that, they would be dumb enough to actually take the advice seriously, then that person would have effectively ruined a child's life.

wizzrobe30 · 2012-10-09T21:39:14+00:00

SOOOO.... How many times has this been re-posted? :)

fegd · 2012-10-09T21:41:40+00:00

I lost it at the raving lunatic in the desert.

OrangeAdventure · 2012-10-09T21:45:56+00:00

This link is ancient, i remember seeing it around summer 2009.

kingbane · 2012-10-09T21:46:27+00:00

i would add one last rule to that list. "don't let them read the bible"

if you want to keep them from being an atheist, dont let em read that thing.

Mack488 · 2012-10-09T21:52:10+00:00

I believe in God and am in petrol chemical engineering school.

You know actually DOING science.

RadioactiveHappiness · 2012-10-09T22:04:00+00:00

Sometimes people are so hopelessly dependent on their beliefs that they believe them to be actually true, and are just trying to do the best for their kid, and help them from any form of punishment. She wasn't wrong in direction, but execution needs a little more work.

jeefsiebs · 2012-10-09T22:14:28+00:00

Just tell your kids that people of your religion are special and are better than all other people and religions. Just continue to reinforce that while they are young. After they're older and move away from religion they will have some hard times (like we all do) and they'll remember that they're special and go back to religion.

hotdogscrum · 2012-10-09T23:12:00+00:00

Like Mr. Hitchens would say... Bravo!

PigAteMyPie · 2012-10-09T23:39:48+00:00

David M you boss...

mangybum · 2012-10-09T23:44:52+00:00

Such an arrogant and ignorant question.

xlava · 2012-10-10T01:03:30+00:00

This is old but true.

bloodnaught · 2012-10-10T01:53:04+00:00

My question is how they got 40% with 2 votes.

elehl · 2012-10-10T02:02:16+00:00

Best /r/atheism post I've seen in a long time.

sciencebro · 2012-10-10T02:45:57+00:00

An oldie, but a goodie.

sirwulf · 2012-10-10T02:57:51+00:00

Asking a question on Y!A about how to be a bad, smothering parent

Gets a "look in the mirror" answer

Probably thinks that this is good advice

betrayd430piecesofAg · 2012-10-10T03:24:42+00:00

A better way would be to have the child speak to this neurosurgeon who taught at Harvard Medical School.

betrayd430piecesofAg · 2012-10-10T03:34:44+00:00

Another surefire way to prevent a child (or thinking adult) from becoming an atheist is to have the child (or thinking adult) spend an hour or two on r/atheism.

prime124 · 2012-10-10T03:37:49+00:00

Thank you, person reposting this for the thousandith time

unpopular_speech · 2012-10-10T04:52:43+00:00

Reports are great. It proves that the jerk comes full circle.

SANDYSQUID · 2012-10-09T21:28:28+00:00

Yeah, I've been to "YahooAnswers". JT and DAVID M are the same person. Easier to knock 'em dead when you set 'em up in the first place.

dolphin_rape_caves · 2012-10-09T15:07:32+00:00

You used too many big words. They'll never get it.

Green2Black · 2012-10-09T14:56:25+00:00

Well, talk about Knights of the Told Republic...

AntonChigur · 2012-10-09T16:13:08+00:00

That's really the perfect answer!

SimplyQuid · 2012-10-09T18:25:31+00:00

sssh no downrons, only bravery now

CannaMontanna · 2012-10-09T16:17:35+00:00

Not only a repost, but a Yahoo Answers repost... Trolls asking troll questions and being answered by trolls never deserves upvotes.

jvslacker · 2012-10-09T16:14:52+00:00

Repost repost REEEEEEEPOOOOOOSSSSTTTTT Old Repost Old repost

Mugman16 · 2012-10-09T16:18:42+00:00

STOP REPOSTING THIS SHIT, ALL RIGHT?

Italian_Barrel_Roll · 2012-10-09T15:58:21+00:00

Looking at the picture, I'd say the best way to stop your child from becoming an athiest is to teach them how to spell.

Bearly_Mach · 2012-10-09T18:04:04+00:00

Check. Check. Check. ......

I've been doing it right all along.

Bejoty · 2012-10-09T18:22:23+00:00

My old youth pastor goes by JT.

Birth Control.

bajser · 2012-10-09T20:06:17+00:00

I chuckled for a bit, then sad staring at my screen for 5 minutes.

gee i've never seen this one before and i'm definitely not about to downvote it

ralph-j · 2012-10-09T16:52:56+00:00

The person asking such a question probably didn't need to change much then.

easpider · 2012-10-09T19:27:38+00:00

What's better than a fundie facebook post, or a "i saw this on youtube" post... That's right, a yahoo answers post!

Let's upvote this shit to the front page! Hell yeah!

fapping_smurf · 2012-10-09T20:20:35+00:00

That guy clearly overreacted. Being religiously intolerant is just as bad as believing any sort of nonsense that exists. People should learn compassion rather than to just debunk and ridicule another's beliefs. The asker asked politely, with no signs of imposition, just to have some advice to practice his faith. Maybe you people should learn to be tolerant of others even if their beliefs may seem illogical.

frankts1 · 2012-10-09T17:46:24+00:00

The best way is probably to show them what condescending assholes atheists are - BY SHOWING THEM YOUR POST!

bleedingheartsurgery · 2012-10-09T15:25:06+00:00

How about telling them not to blindly believe in irrational science that you don't even understand yourself, yet you have faith in it. And tell them to go on r/atheism for an hour, they'll surely be turned off by the smug, teenagers who claim to know everything there is to know about the universe

ShowtimeSPL · 2012-10-09T16:11:36+00:00
