As a former Fundamentalist Christian, for more than 20 years, I am thankful that this isn't actually true.

Also, keep in mind that FOX and FoxNews are not the same thing. I assume that was the tired joke you were going for.

You do know Fox and Fox News are completely different entities, right? One has no influence over the other. Why don't some/most people seem to get this?

[–]johninbigd 2 points3 points ago

For the same reason that people think every Fox affiliate in the country doing local news is the same as Fox News. So annoying.

Used to work for a local Fox affiliate. Don't get me started.

fox and fox news are completely different entities. they only have common ownership in common.

Hm, yes, thank you B0NESY, I did think it was about time for this to be recycled yet again fro karma.

Just a question, how much FOX do you watch?

I have been a redditor for just a month, and even I am bored of this repost!

Has this become a meme or something? Reposting the House quote many times per week?

[–]BlackbeltJones 2 points3 points ago

But The Simpsons are on Fox.

Clearly you haven't watched enough Malcolm in the Middle.

How many reposts will it take for civilization to collapse. Surely we will know soon.....

[–]wytewydow 1 point2 points ago

[–]i_fap_faps 1 point2 points ago

Pretty sure The Simpsons had better truths.

[–]Lodur 0 points1 point ago

Not really. Sure, let's assume that there is a religious person and an atheist, and the atheist knows all the reasonable arguments against religion and uses them against the religious. It still might not work. Mainly because if the religious person is getting something out of being religious, it is not unreasonable to continue that belief even if it lacks evidence of existence.

If you're playing life to make you feel the best, sometimes the most rational choice there is to chose to embrace the irrational.

This ignores that aspect, and /r/atheism ignores that aspect a fair bit as well. People have goals, if being religious furthers your goal, then it is reasonable for you to be religious. /r/atheism likes to assume that increasing knowledge and fighting ignorance and inherent goals and ideals which everyone should live up to, but they aren't.

My two bits.

All I want to do is post the quote again in reply.

How incredibly selfish and dangerous it is to live life in blissful ignorance while the rest of us are in the real world. If you are someone who chooses to embrace irrationality you have no place voting, being on a jury, or having kids. Holding irrational beliefs is unacceptable in every field except religion so long as no one ever acts on their beliefs.

It's very ironic that you don't see that naive comment as irrational.

[–]B0NESY[S] -4 points-3 points ago

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

You did not just use "rational" and "religion" in the same sentence... Believing in and "embracing" unicorns might make me feel the best, but it would be completely irrational to do so. Give me one example of how being religious can further your goals any more than mine, which have no religious influence.

Cue ad hominem attack on House because he's a pill popper.

[–]peteheat 0 points1 point ago

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

mixed feelings about house-he brings a tone that is quite an atheist stereotype-but i cant deny agreeing with this statement.

Someone make me happy, what popular atheist character on tv isnt a complete dick?

Well... Brennan on Bones is an atheist.

In Italian translation this has been removed. And the one talking about not liking nuns.

You just can't say that in Italian TV.

Please stop this bullshit, This image gets reposted at least once every two weeks and still manages to get triple digit upvotes. Really losing faith in r/atheism.

I think House is what you get when you amalgamate Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson.

anyway this could be turned into a wallpaper?

[–]EcureuilSecret 0 points1 point ago

I used to have this as my wallpaper, except I used a copy with the actual quote (not this dumbarse paraphrased one) and I suggest you do the same.
