I missed it before, so am happy for the repost. Just sayin'.

[–]BdotDS 1 point2 points ago

This again. You know, if people actually linked to a source when posting a comic, these reposts wouldn't be as common, since it would be likely that the source had been previously used. But then, internet points.

The baldness of the atheist is probably a reference to 'bald is not a hair color'.

I've seen this comic about 15 times now, and I still have no idea why he's not wearing shoes in the last two panels.

[–]Kowzorz 0 points1 point ago

He's been through a lot of shit. You wouldn't be wearing your shoes either.

[–]NiccoHel 0 points1 point ago

No shirt, no shoes... No salvation?

"Finally, they calmed down"

... what?

[–]Skibum04 17 points18 points ago

This commic makes a lot more sense if if you live in europe. Christianity has calmed down for the most part in western europe however Islam is getting much much worse in western europe. There are way more muslims in europe than in america. Other than extreme examples of terroism christianity is america's greatest threat as far as religion is concerned.

that's because they shipped all the fanatics over to the states

It's surprising that more people don't know this.

I usually don't care about reposts, but this was posted YESTERDAY, ffs.

This is a great cartoon! Made me laugh pretty hard [5]

Except I have a shred of respect to those who practice islam, because they bother to follow the fucking tenets the religion promotes.

I was just thinking of this comic and you happened to repost it

[–]abbiistabbii -1 points0 points ago

Calmed down? Really?

Because Christians seem to be up to their old tricks.

[–]Clowncopter 3 points4 points ago

While child rape is pretty bad, it's dissimilar to the examples in the cartoon.

What about persecution of Gays and Lesbians, Killiing abortion doctors, getting their fairy tales put in science classrooms and taught as fact and working against Abortions even when they are necessary to save a woman's life?

[–]fuzzydunloblaw 3 points4 points ago

All a walk in the park compared to the horrors of the "holy" christian crusades. Things have calmed down, relatively speaking.

And homophobic violence?

[–]elusiveallusion 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Relatively speaking, chilled out.

I mean, they don't openly, and with complete impunity, and indeed total social endorsement, actually torture and kill people of non-heteronormative status.

Now, they might do so with a distressingly mixed public reaction. But not widespread acclaim.

Its r/atheism... every subreddit has reposts. r/atheism will naturally have more reposts because we are talking about the same things over and over. Its not like there are new discoveries to be made in the atheist world.

Ya reposts from the previous day are annoying but honestly reposts from a couple months back are not a big deal. New people join this subreddit all the time.

I don't think this is a matter of right and wrong. This is a matter of personal preference and obviously r/atheism would prefer to see this again.

The reddiquette says:

Please don't:

  • Complain about reposts. Just because you have seen it before doesn't mean everyone has. Votes indicate the popularity of a post, so just vote. Keep in mind that linking to previous posts is not automatically a complaint; it is information. Votes indicate how the community values information, so just vote.

[–]completedick 0 points1 point ago

Oh look, another asshole complaining about re-posts. It's strange that someone would click on something they've seen before and then go out of their way to complain about it. Yes you've wasted 1/2 second of your life viewing the re-post, but, you've just wasted 15+ seconds bitching about it.

[–]EvilTerran 0 points1 point ago

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

You have a point... on the other hand, the reddiquette says:

Please don't:

  • Be rude when someone doesn't follow Reddiquette. Just point them here politely, and keep in mind that these are just guidelines.
