Looking for an image subreddit with minimal rules? Check out /r/images

A place to share interesting photographs and pictures. Feel free to post your own, but please read the rules first (see below), and note that we are not a catch-all for general images (of screenshots, comics, etc.)

Spoiler code

Please mark spoilers like this:
[text here](/spoiler)

Hover over to read.

Rules

  1. No screenshots, or pictures with added or superimposed text. This includes image macros, comics, info-graphics and most diagrams. Text (e.g. a URL) serving to credit the original author is exempt.

  2. No gore or porn. NSFW content must be tagged.

  3. No personal information. This includes anything hosted on Facebook's servers, as they can be traced to the original account holder. Stalking & harassment will not be tolerated.

  4. No solicitation of votes (including "cake day" posts), weight loss photos, posts with their sole purpose being to communicate with another redditor, or [FIXED] posts. Weight loss photos go in /r/loseit, DAE posts go in /r/DoesAnybodyElse. "Fixed" posts should be added as a comment to the original image.

  5. Submissions must link directly to a specific image file or to an image hosting website with minimal ads. We do not allow blog hosting of images ("blogspam"), but links to albums on image hosting websites are okay. URL shorteners are prohibited.

  • If your submission appears to be filtered but definitely meets the above rules, please send us a message with a link to the comments section of your post (not a direct link to the image). Don't delete it as that just makes the filter hate you!

  • If you come across any rule violations, please report the submission or message the mods and one of us will remove it!

Please also try to come up with original post titles. Submissions that use certain clichés/memes will be automatically tagged with a warning.

He really made the grade, and the papers want to know whose shirts he wore.

[–]drfre 83 points84 points ago

The myth is that he said:

"I don't see any God up here."

Also, there's no record of him saying either of those things

[–]BaboTron 22 points23 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Even if he did say that, he would have had to, wouldn't he have? I mean, wasn't the Soviet Communist ideology anti-religious?

[–]rustybuckets 30 points31 points ago

There is no proof of him not saying it either!

No. Like a lot of pictures that I use, I had seen it before and then use google to find it if I find a use.

Anti-theism is not atheism.

Hell, what the fuck am I saying? All of you armchair atheists from the cesspool, /r/atheism, have no idea what atheism is.

[–]imallinman95 0 points1 point ago

I didn't see what he said since he deleted it, but really? All 150,000 of us from r/Atheism don't know what atheism is? And why are you such an amazing, knowledgeable atheist? Because you don't look at r/Atheism?

So how far into The God Delusion did you get? 5th chapter?

[–]thetaprime 6 points7 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Psuedo-intellectual bullshit. I love how people call a wrote belief a delusion and yet when it comes to atheism ala science, humans have proven that they are just as unknowledgeable as on old beaded man scratching religious doctrine onto stone or papyrus.

We had the structure of the atom wrong for 40 years and are still finding out how wrong we are daily about the known universe, or I should say the unknown universe. A world full of scientists still can't prove a decent particle theory vs a hole in the ground and we get people that definitively state that God is a myth.

All I'm saying is that atheists have no business taking the high ground on this any more that a dude in pajamas with a "holy text" does. You're a clown if you do.

[–]this_barb 2 points3 points ago

You preach to your friends? Ever thought about starting some sort of organization, where like-minded individuals can come and wor... I mean, debate on the non-existence of god?

True, but the relevancy of the sentence is still there. I should go around with a poll seeing how many astronauts have seen god then present it to the the church .

I do believe I offended a Christian or two.

This, here, is a prime example of what atheism is not.

[–]MargaretFortunka -3 points-2 points ago

Wouldn't he have said it in Russian? So he didn't say "I see no God up here" or "I don't see any God up here" but maybe something closer to "летал в космос, а Бога не видел". Now quit being so pedantic.

[–]pearcewg 24 points25 points ago

Is that supposed to be some sort of anti-atheist argument? If so, lulz at equating sight to observation.

If not, lets not start a thing here...

[–]Harman_M 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

If he had used a MRI machine or something medically, he probably would've seen brain activity.

He was totally trying to equate sight to observation, saying "just because you cannot see it, doesn't mean it is not there."

But, let's not start a thing...

[–]CerpinTaxes 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

...Yeeees I know. But it seems like he's using that statement as an argument for the existence of god. i.e. "Can't see thoughts, but they exist. So even though you can't see god he still exists."

Whereas thoughts can be observed indirectly but not seen, the existence of god cannot be observed or seen even by effects or reactions. Ergo there is no reason to believe he exists.

You must be so naive to think that God is in this existence. Seeking God in this existence (in this creation) is self-contradictory. A Creator is not a created-being, so He cannot be looked for in this universe. Shouldn't be so difficult to understand this logic, right?

No attribution to the artist? That's super weak. This picture was originally made by Alex Cherry, minus the text. Decent quote but come on man.

[–]absolutsyd 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

No record of him saying that, the quote came second hand from Khrushchev's speech following the mission. Likely propaganda. Yuri was probably a member of the Orthodox church, and had his daughter baptized before his flight. Wish it was true, but only if it was his real feelings, not just what the USSR forced him to say in public. Government enforced atheism is just as bad as government enforced theism.

He didn't say that but he did say "The Earth is blue… How wonderful. It is amazing.” But that's probably not as dramatic.

It is highly questionable Yuri Gagarin was the first person in space.

There are indications the Russians had a lot of unsuccessful launches with people on board that didn't go exactly as planned.

I do believe Gagarin's launch was the first successful one, because that's something you can sell to the world.
