Thank you for mentioning male genital mutilation, most people scoff.

[–]sciencechick 4 points5 points ago

Especially when it comes from buttsex-yeah-i-know.

[–]viiScorp 2 points3 points ago

I second this, props for not holding the double standard that so many do.

Picture of text?

[–]toSTONEiGO 2 points3 points ago

BUTBUT KARMA!!!

[–]Dravorek 1 point2 points ago

no background, bad font. I can see 0 reason to post this as a picture rather than a text-post. Except for of course karma but surely OP isn't a vapid creature feeding off upvotes.

[–]tha_snazzle 0 points1 point ago

OP probably saw it linked from elsewhere and posted it to reddit. If I wanted to do that, I'd probably just use the image link rather than type it all out in a self post too.

Rejection of reason is offensive enough for me.

[–]EffingTank 1 point2 points ago

Rejection of reason isn't the crime theists have committed. It's more a perversion of reason. Reason should be used to find real answers, Theists, for instance Thomas Aquinas, make the mistake of trying to use reason to support their beliefs.

can you give me a article about killing albinos? never heard about that. im in the mood for a good rage about now.

[–]pcnerd37 1 point2 points ago

This is great! I want to post this on my Facebook wall considering many of my facebook friends are the people I used to go to church with. Unfortunately, I haven't come out of the closet yet.

Why is that people can never pick a proper typeface for this sort of thing

[–]kent_eh 0 points1 point ago

There is a proper font for a wall of text as an image?

Who knew?

[–]SkullyKitt 0 points1 point ago

A good font makes the difference between a screaming wall of black text and a legible, easy-to-read body of type that expresses an idea intelligently. If you don't already feel this way about type, do yourself a favor and NEVER, EVER get into typography, learn about kerning, or look into how the basic choices made by designers on a daily basis effect how you read your world - you will learn to hate things based on font.

This one pops into my head just about any time the word 'kerning' does xD The first time I read it, I thought "I must be one self hating bastard."

[–]TeenageKevin 0 points1 point ago

I'm an atheist and I like science but I don't think it's rational at all to believe in most scientific reasoning. Induction simply doesn't prove anything no matter how useful it is.

[–]polygoniix 0 points1 point ago

its not your beliefs that annoy me its your choice in typeface

[–]Ol-softhat 0 points1 point ago

I had to look up "pederasty". I then got "paranoid parrot" over the fact that I looked up the word.

[–]shhyguuy 0 points1 point ago

This kills the eyes

[–]almosttherebutnotrea 0 points1 point ago

I would have upboated this if it were easier to read.

[–]thescandall 1 point2 points ago

I regret that I have but one upvote to give

[–]oldmoneey -2 points-1 points ago

This reminds me of the douchebag guy who likes to go around with his shirt off and thinks that people find it annoying because they're jealous and intimidated by his fit body.

"Oh, they're offended 'cause I'm an atheist! Not because I take delight in ridiculing their dearly held beliefs or anything!"

[–]sharthappens 1 point2 points ago

You...uhhh. Fuck, I'm at a loss for words.

[–]oldmoneey 0 points1 point ago

Is that good or bad?

I'm not disputing your figures, or whether or not the various regimes you mention were atheist or religious in their origins. But did the nazis or the chinese, for example, perform their atrocities in the "name of non-belief in a deity"? Was the driving force behind their actions a non-belief in god?

[–]cruown -5 points-4 points ago

As an atheist parent I actually approve of "male genital mutilation." It is one of a few things I didn't agree with Hitchens on. There is a difference between having a doctor do it and having some old guy suck on my son's penis.

[–]Moontouch 12 points13 points ago

You realize that unless it's for a specific and special medical condition, circumcision has zero medical benefits and is just mutilitating males' penises for fun?

[–]My_junk_your_ear -4 points-3 points ago

You lost me at "murdering of albinos."

[–]Gemini4t 7 points8 points ago

In Africa, albinos are thought to be witches who commune with the devil.

[–]TheIvoryNun 2 points3 points ago

Also, their body parts are used in witchcraft rituals and potions meant to bring good luck and fortune.
