There's also an episode where he says "God is pissed" during God-induced plagues upon the Griffin home. Cartoons get off on discontinuities.

[–]worff 5 points6 points ago

And an episode where he prays.

[–]UnwiseSudai 10 points11 points ago

Stewie calls him out on it too.

[–]very-friENTly 10 points11 points ago

I feel like he doesn't give a shit if there's a god or not he just wants to be on the other side of the argument from the majority. Louis pointed that out when he was friends with Rush Limbaugh.

[–]jdmulloy 2 points3 points ago

While he does pray in the Limbaugh episode I think there was also another episode where there was a hurricane or something and he prayed that UnwiseSudai was referring to.

I still can't believe Rush Limbaugh actually did that episode knowing how Liberal Seth MacFarlane is and how he'd be portrayed.

[–]very-friENTly 0 points1 point ago

I wasn't exactly saying he prayed, but he did state that he was a Christian.

Was that really Rush Limbaugh? It sounded very similar, but I wasn't sure because, like you said, Seth is completely opposite of him in every way.

[–]DHarry 2 points3 points ago

Exactly. I believe the "God is pissed" line was early in the first or second season, long before they decided to make Brian atheist.

[–]N0V0w3ls 4 points5 points ago

And before they made Stewie a walking gay joke.

[–]PackmanR 0 points1 point ago

Family Guy does things like that a lot for the sake of jokes.

[–]Octopusbread 114 points115 points ago

Is also a cartoon character

[–]stamatt45 66 points67 points ago

And a talking dog

[–]AtomicDeaths 29 points30 points ago

And smokes, drinks, and is a frequent user of hemp.

[–]jackcatalyst 16 points17 points ago

And fucks bitches.

[–]AJK2741 9 points10 points ago

Doesn't really take a special dog for that.

[–]AtomicDeaths 16 points17 points ago

This dog is a hero.

[–]BIG_AMERIKAN_T_T_S 9 points10 points ago

He's a stereotypical redditor!

[–]OBrien 10 points11 points ago

All of Reddit is trying to throw off the scent by posting pictures of cats so nobody suspects them of being talking dog.

[–]cubbycubb 0 points1 point ago

"And fucks bitches." Well, not so stereotypical now..

[–]dhockey63 0 points1 point ago

no he would have to be a cat, because all these guys on here love pussies for pets than intercourse with a girl's pussy.

[–]fdg456n 3 points4 points ago

Hemp? What does he use that for?

[–]ohyeathatsright 3 points4 points ago

Leash.

[–]laughs_at_your_fail -1 points0 points ago

"user of hemp" ... well, incase you really think thats what gets you high, its not. hemp is the stem, the trunk of the tree, you want the bud, not the leaves either, the THC is what gets you stoned, it can be found in the stem and leaves, but in much less concentrated portions than in the bud.

to be perfectly honest, i am very tired and some of this may not make full sense. hope i helped.

[–]Neckbeard_Alarm -1 points0 points ago

NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEECKBEARD

[–]gulljack -4 points-3 points ago

Also such a repost

[–]Wowtrain 55 points56 points ago

That double "I" physically huurts.

[–]Gary_the_Goatfucker 22 points23 points ago

II don't see the problem here.

[–]NugPlug 2 points3 points ago

[–]superterran 6 points7 points ago

Reminds me of Dogma http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7hfFyGtbXwM

[–]EviliciousAZ 8 points9 points ago

I meet jesus all the time. I live in southern arizona. they're everywhere

[–]Patorama 5 points6 points ago

There is a later episode of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" where a vampire asks her about God, and she mentions there really isn't any firm evidence one way or the other. This is a girl who has literally visited both heaven and hell.

[–]daStronksie 4 points5 points ago

r/atheism is not here..

[–]idontgetbacon 11 points12 points ago

He actually becomes religious on multiple occasions. Even volunteers in a soup kitchen because he "promised someone" after praying.

[–]Kleenexes 7 points8 points ago

Jesus ≠ God

[–]Jokuki 5 points6 points ago

iirc the holy trinity does mean Jesus is God. Maybe my Catholic friend was wrong though. Maybe we're both wrong. Maybe I just typed this to sound like a douche. Maybe.

[–]Steve_the_Scout 2 points3 points ago

Jahova's Witness friend educated me on that, and a Catholic friend backed it up:

There was the Father (Source), the Son (Manifestation) and the Holy Spirit (The Lasting/Omnipresent Force). All the same thing, but in different forms.

Which I find kind of interesting because more "literal" (vs metaphoric) religions (say, Hinduism or Buddhism) view a person's soul as in different stages, and the 3 mentioned above are 3 of the stages (there are of course more, though).

[–]Jokuki 0 points1 point ago

Very nicely written.

[–]JosiahBradley 7 points8 points ago

A true believer never gives up their faith.

[–]JesusHere 4 points5 points ago

To be fair, my dad can be a little unbelievable.

[–]thatguy713 1 point2 points ago

I AM AN ATHEIST AND WILL TAKE THIS TOO SERIOUSLY

[–]ZackZak30 -1 points0 points ago

I bet you will

[–]AllMustSuffer 0 points1 point ago

Brian is as hardcore as athiests come.

[–]joncaprell 4 points5 points ago

Seriously, this is in /r/funny? By a lot? :/

[–]Throwaway281281 0 points1 point ago

Is a talking dog; cool. Has met jesus but is an atheist; HOLD THE FUCKING PHONE

[–]DHarry 0 points1 point ago

That would be a good theory except for Family Guy.

[–]CodeineNsprite -1 points0 points ago

Its a goddamn CARTOON!!!! ITS NOT SUPPOSED TO MAKE SENSSSSEEE!!!!

[–]Hidden_Gecko 0 points1 point ago

Jesus might have existed.

Doesn't mean god does.

[–]johnsuros -1 points0 points ago

Post in atheism Jackass...

[–]ArgonGryphon -1 points0 points ago

No he isn't.

[–]lgodsey -1 points0 points ago

OP: In case it hasn't occurred to you, the animated talking dog, like Jesus, is fictional.

[–]ardentrage -1 points0 points ago

He's a dog. Now contemplate.

[–]jadewolf 0 points1 point ago

Well to be fair just because he met they guy doesn't mean that he has accepted him as his savior or that he ascribes to the belief system of any particular religion that centers their faith on his life and resurrection.

[–]chattyWw 0 points1 point ago

You can acknowledge the existence of Jesus and still be an atheist. Example: There's a region called waterist, where they worship water as a deity (god). You have encountered water before (and acknowledged the existence, I hope). Does this make you a waterist? No. If not then by that rule you should consider Christians and Muslims as Catholics. As both their region acknowledged the existence of Jesus.

[–]unicornon 0 points1 point ago

Jesus also generally agrees with whatever he says on the topic of religion when he does show up.

[–]Tallapoosa_Snu 0 points1 point ago

Yeah, mock a religion based on a cartoon. Atheists will take any excuse to put down organized religion in my experience. At least I'm not self-righteous and purposely unprovikingly offensive. Don't offend other religions. It's not that hard. Be an atheist, that's just fine, but mockery of religion (especially with a child's cartoon) is pretty pitiful.

[–]unprovoked33 0 points1 point ago

Jesus was a real person, folks.

[–]IHaveAFunnyUsername 0 points1 point ago

Why does it even matter. All dogs go to heaven, anyways.

[–]Dillykittn 0 points1 point ago

Atheists don't believe in god. Pretty sure they believe Jesus existed but that he was not a "savior". Plus it's a fucking cartoon :-)

[–]SoFaKiNg42 -3 points-2 points ago

I hope this "logic" debunking isn't a permanent thing on reddit. It's getting old reaaaaaally fast.

[–]mittins123 1 point2 points ago

Your mom.

[–]SoFaKiNg42 0 points1 point ago

What? I'm just reffering to how lately people are like: OMG this thing in a video game doesn't make sense, isn't that crazy guys? or, OMG this thing this character did in a cartoon is silly and doesn't make sense, isn't that crazy? Point aside, /r/atheism is a cancer and should be avoided as such.

[–]Sir_Hooves -4 points-3 points ago

this challenges my definition of atheist
