Bets on how long it will be until the ole "Atheism is a circle-jerk" fight occurs?

Yeah after many years of trying I also figured that this shit is unswallowable(not a real world?) and left it behind. Anyway, far tastier fish in the sea!

You'll learn that religion is a giant battlefield here. One wrong move and your going to be eaten alive.

You just did -_-

Leave ALL religion (or lack there of) out of comedy subreddits. If you don't like /r/atheism, join /r/christianity. But don't come to /r/gifs. Or /r/funny, or /r/AdviceAnimals, or any front page subreddit that's not about religion.

Why would that be? The only important thing is that something is funny. The people that complain about not finding something funny or immediately have to say: /r/atheism or /r/Christianity is leaking again are the nuisance that spoils the joke.

Everyone should just swallow their pride when people are making jokes, or even try to enjoy the joke despite it being at the cost of you.

As an atheist these are one of my favourite jokes for instance:

click

These jokes are at my expense, but I don't give a shit, and neither should someone else. I have seen jokes about atheism that I deem unfunny. However, because I think it is unfunny does not make it inappropriate or offensive. The only thing it being unfunny to me means is that it does not make me laugh.

People should stop drawing the line of funny/offensive where their taste of humour ends. It is highly subjective, and probably highly incompatible with the opinions of the rest of the world.

And why is religion an exception? You can also make jokes about political parties, ethnicity or other things and without a doubt that is also going to offend some or many people but like any grown-up you have to deal with that too.

So, shut it, try to enjoy it, otherwise let it pass and don't complain because it doesn't fit your style of humour.

I'm glad you realized the joke is not about religion or atheism but rather about reddit and the reddit hivemind (thanks for the term newdreksilver), where everything is kosher except religion and pedophiles.

I totally agree with you, but this post is essentially using an old gif to whine about the "persecution" of religion on Reddit. Posts like your two links are totally fine, albeit I would rather place them in /r/atheism than /r/funny, but nonetheless, this post is clearly just a way to start some religion fight.

With this you are judging the intent of the OP, and disregarding the fact that this may simply be his sense of humour or even the sense of humour of fellow Christians, or maybe even Muslims and atheists.

We should give it the benefit of the doubt and we should focus on discouraging the religion fight by downvoting it and commenting on how it is misplaced in a reddit that is supposed to be dedicated to humour.

I think most of the time the commenters are ruining it, and not the OP.

Perhaps he's not necessarily trying to start a fight, I suppose that was a poor word choice. But with the dynamic of the "Reddit Hivemind", any posts about religion (or politics) shouldn't be allowed in lighter, more fun subreddits.

Don't worry, people tend to care way too much about trivial bullshit, including yourself.

[–]donaldfick 1 point2 points ago

Including religion.
