As an atheist, I'm appalled by these comments. What in the world makes you think you deserve to live more than somebody who believes in a deity?

[–]Ragnar_OK 12 points13 points ago

Hippocratic oath? What Hippocratic oath?!

Paging Dr. Kevorkian!

ATTENTION RATHEISTS: you wonder why the rest of reddit hates /r/atheism? These comments right here are why. "hurr durr he's religious so he should die, and my intelligent free-thinking mountain dew drinking ass deserves to live more than them cuz their so stoopid."

You mean there are Athiest that are not trolls? HAHHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAHAHAH

This is just a douchebag thing to do. It isn't really funny at all. Could somebody explain the joke to me? I assume I've missed it.

Edit: Punctuation & spelling

I think it's about punishing people for being ungrateful. Because apparently doctors should be in it for the ego :/

How is this kind of thinking different than a Jihadist? You guys are fucking hypocrites.

This reminds me of House as he may have done something similar.

[–]jchillin89 0 points1 point ago

The guy and his girlfriend that came over seas because she was sick and the doctors in their country didn't know what was wrong with her. The boyfriend/husband kept saying that he knows god is watching over her and is going to make her better so House walked away and said "Then why did you come all the way to see me?"

Or something like that.

It would be just about time to decide what to do with posts like this. I think there's a demand for r/atheisthumor and r/badatheisthumor. Who would lose, if there was a place with a more light atmosphere and where it would be obvious that these posts should not be taken too literally? This would also clean up space from r/atheism for more insightful posts.

[–]Mr_Wolfgang_Beard 2 points3 points ago

This is subreddit has become far too much about anti-theism than atheism.

Yes, it does.

[–]Ragnar_OK 2 points3 points ago

Yes, I've always wanted a white, middle class suburban teenager (at least, I hope you're a teenager, 'cause if you aren't, your shit's really fucked up) to explain how and when discrimination and bigotry are and aren't OK!

Please, give us more of your sage advice!

[–]The_Hatter 0 points1 point ago

So I have to relinquish my sense of humour when I became atheist. Sorry, I did not get that note. Luckily we have you as our white knight and moral leader to tell us what's funny and what's not.

Luckily most people understand the difference between an unrealistic comic and real discrimination and bigotry.

btw. not a single one of your adjectives were right.

[–]Ragnar_OK 1 point2 points ago

You're an idiot.

That is all.

I like this one, in the first place it's a cartoon, not duchbag at all. People self medicate all the time & wind up in the ER as a result of listing to the friend,neighbor,sister in law ..... Who had the same health issue. How is prayer any different? Pray, self medicate= same health issue for years. May not lead to death but a life of pain & horrible mental anguish. Being open & honest with your DR about everything = getting to the bottom of an issue, may not cure it but would certainly try & improve quality of life. Isn't that what people go to the DR's for? To improve the quality of life.
