I'm sorry, but no matter how I read this, I can only interpret it as President Obama anally raping Mitt Romney, and then confiding that fact in his wife, who then seems to be delighted at the news.

[–]ColeUnderPressure[S] 1 point2 points ago

If you had watched the debate, you would know that interpretation isn't far from what actually happened.

[–]smarty_skirts 0 points1 point ago

The downvotes seem to be indicating a sudden rash of prudish redditors.

[–]nicknoble 1 point2 points ago

Now that is an attractive first lady.

[–]Brettshock 8 points9 points ago

Romney's magic underpants must have been Chinese knockoffs, because they didn't protect his ass tonight.

For all of those having problems because white on white text is a fucking horrible idea. ಠ_ಠ

[–]jschall2 8 points9 points ago

You need a new monitor. No trouble here.

[–]OmegaSeven 4 points5 points ago

Or just turn down your brightness.

[–]DollarsThanSense 5 points6 points ago

High quality IPS display here. Not a single problem was given.

[–]thirdegree 0 points1 point ago

Bit annoying, but no real trouble.

[–]-Hastis- 0 points1 point ago

Maybe your constrast is set too high, or your screen just have a bad one...

[–]mrhelton 6 points7 points ago

Good picture TC! It convinced me to become an atheist!!!

[–]El_Polaco 2 points3 points ago

Are we not even trying to have content related to atheism anymore?

[–]owlsrule143 9 points10 points ago

Magic underpants are Mormon.

[–]Globalwarmingisfake 9 points10 points ago

If a joke about a religions magic underwear isn't atheism related then nothing is atheism related.

[–]paranode 2 points3 points ago

It's a political post thinly veiled by mentioning something related to a candidate's religion.

[–]UnexpectedSchism 1 point2 points ago

You don't consider mormon underpants to be a religious thing?

[–]MrKequc 2 points3 points ago

Does it bother you? If so, why

[–]JackRawlinson -5 points-4 points ago

Take a look at the name of the subreddit and take a wild fucking guess.

[–]MyriPlanet 11 points12 points ago

Hello, butthurt poster!

/r/atheism is not actually the 'atheism' tab of reddit, but a community of atheists which organized on reddit. Yes, there is a difference.

Take /r/gaymers for instance. It is a community of gay people who play video games. Not every post is about rubbing dicks while playing Mario; they just post things which the demographic (gay gamers) tend to enjoy.

/r/atheism is full of posts that 20-something atheists tend to enjoy. It's not a religious debate forum, it's not the /r/pics of godlessness, it's a community.

If you could kindly stop circlejerking about how you can read a subreddit title (while ignoring the context of said title), that would be fantastic. Thanks!

[–]MrKequc 3 points4 points ago

What do you think atheism is then, exactly?

[–]MOISTY_OYSTER -2 points-1 points ago

For me, atheism means I do not accept the existence of things for which there is no scientific evidence. It is an acceptance of scientific facts, absorbed by myself into my worldview, possibly changing that world view if the facts presented deem it necessary. It means research. It means striving for equality and making good life choices because that is the right thing to do, not out of fear of being deemed unworthy of a deity.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points ago

That's not what atheism is. That's called skepticism.

[–]Olive_Garden 2 points3 points ago

DAE not believe in god?

Okay now that that's out of the way, shut the fuck up.

[–]poopinthebuttpoop -1 points0 points ago

What if I believe in God but am an atheist? Can I still be outraged?

[–]Olive_Garden 1 point2 points ago

You cannot be both.

You could always go so far as to say: Math is just logic

[–]feral_troll 1 point2 points ago

..did you just explain string theory?

  • According to Webster's dictionary Atheism is 1.the doctrine or belief that there is no God. or 2.disbelief in the existence of a supreme being or beings.
  • In addition, though Biology has yet to discover the existence of god it has also shown that god is not necessary to create life.
  • According to Occam's razor, since god is not necessary he does not exist.
  • Therefore conclusion is correct.

how is complaining about content not being completely about atheism related to atheism?

[–]Ianoren -1 points0 points ago

/r/politics is leaking again

[–]KWGibbs 0 points1 point ago

too light; didn't read

[–]Jagjamin 0 points1 point ago

FUCK YOUR WHITE TEXT SHIT. LIGHT BACKGROUND, DARK TEXT. OR CHUCK A BORDER ON THE LETTERS.

[–]Vexillae 0 points1 point ago

Can someone give me the template to this image? I love it.

[–]ColeUnderPressure[S] 0 points1 point ago

I just googled Barack Obama whispering to Michelle Obama. Here's a link though: http://i.imgur.com/dUeAy.jpg

She is hot Would bang 10/10!

[–]x_minus_one -1 points0 points ago

My art professor is staring at me right now, because I'm cackling.

[–]poopinthebuttpoop 0 points1 point ago

Pay attention in class. Do you think art is a joke?

[–]x_minus_one -1 points0 points ago

She gives us bonus points for attending class and all the quizzes are open notes, online... and she gives us the answers. I think I'm safe not paying attention.

[–]5celery 0 points1 point ago

May I have 3 thousand dollars? I'll send you a paper with an A on it.

[–]x_minus_one 0 points1 point ago

Art has zero to do with my major but is a required class. :)

[–]5celery 0 points1 point ago

Your class is an opportunity, none the less. An expensive one that many people would love to have while they slave in their cube farms. I wish I had paid attention in the courses I blew off - so maybe I'm just projecting.

[–]71nobody 0 points1 point ago

This is funny as fuck!

[–]whiteknight521 -1 points0 points ago

Yes, because Obama is an atheist. Clearly.

[–]Majorasmax -1 points0 points ago

*because they didn't protect his ass last night or because they will be unable to protect his ass tonight. You used past and future tense in the same sentence haha.

[–]ColeUnderPressure[S] 0 points1 point ago

Well since it was still the day of the debate, just later that night, I believe I worded it correctly.

[–]Majorasmax 0 points1 point ago

Yeah I dunno it just sounds weird to me.

[–]Luggenes -1 points0 points ago

I don't understand this post at all. Is underwear supposed to protect your ass? What does Mrs. Obama have anything to do with that

[–]honted_goast -4 points-3 points ago

I assume Mittens' anus was ready.

[–]OmegaSeven 1 point2 points ago

Didn't sound very ready to me.

[–]BjaminJ 0 points1 point ago

Great pic, funny tag, but nothing to so with atheism. Should be /joke, /funny, /politics ..
