Seriously?

Straight from 4chan

Here is the reddit post for it

http://www.reddit.com/r/4chan/comments/x604v/atheist_bale/

[–]mrducky78 9 points10 points ago

I know right, subscribed to /r/4chan and I was disappointed at the lack of xpost and the original surrounding 4chan-ness due to it being a screencap.

Upvote to condemn people who dont cite their sources (or make it seem like they were the origin)

[–]DutchmanDavid 0 points1 point ago

I was going to make a subtle post along the lines of "Man, this sounds like a 4channer made it", but you beat me bluntly to it :p

To be honest, reddit is a news aggregator, then again... This isn't news...

[–]jmf145 0 points1 point ago

I am pretty sure this joke is even older then that.

[–]LiteweightPhenomenal -1 points0 points ago

He mad

[–]thechapattack 12 points13 points ago

Apparently no one can take a joke. ITT

[–]DutchmanDavid 0 points1 point ago

Who can't?

[–]thechapattack 1 point2 points ago

Look at some of the comments in this thread. Some actually have taken this serious 0_0

Kristen Stewart cheated on her BF. Atheist Stewart did not.

Atheists :1 Kristens :0

[–]YourNipsWillBeMine 11 points12 points ago

the score is 1 1 good sir

[–]manuel_robot_cleaner 10 points11 points ago

Kristens are different from Christians you goose :3

[–]YourNipsWillBeMine 2 points3 points ago

Heretic!

[–]manuel_robot_cleaner 3 points4 points ago

Nope, arbiter.

[–]RobertTheSpruce 19 points20 points ago

Christian Bale is British.

UK 1 - USA 0

[–]Cedworth 7 points8 points ago

Yes, but the US gave him the opportunity to visit tragedy victims that might not have been possible in the UK.

UK 1 - USA 1

Tie score.

[–]RobertTheSpruce 3 points4 points ago

FUCK! I knew an out of control gun ownership system would have it's advantages! CURSES!

[–]Beardstone 1 point2 points ago

As a guy with multiple guns, they're fun

[–]RobertTheSpruce 1 point2 points ago

Shooting stuff does seem like ripping good fun.

[–]Gerhard2202 0 points1 point ago

So long as it isn't still breathing.

[–]4850923718860137810 6 points7 points ago

Buddhist Bale visited the babies the victims were reincarnated as. Muslim Bale killed James Holmes and all his family (Finding inoffensive Muslim stereotypes is hard). Agnostic Bale couldn't decide whether or not to visit. Jewish Bale made a Holocaust reference about it. Jain Bale couldn't reach the hospital because there was an ant in the way. Vodouist Bale summoned the spirits of the dead back into their bodies.

[–]jukebug 13 points14 points ago

Give 4chan the credit when you post their oc, or at the very least go back to 9gag.

[–]caretaker82[!] 1 point2 points ago

Too-shay

[–]GolfTee 4 points5 points ago

C'mon, at least wait a week before reposting.

[–]SwagMaster2000 3 points4 points ago

Dude, this had me let our an ear-shattering cackle. Thank you.

[–]tvangste 2 points3 points ago

James holmes was christian.

[–]monkeyjay 3 points4 points ago

Look, we just want to know how many points they get, OK?

[–]ArcticFrankie10 4 points5 points ago

repost, straight from 4chan

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points ago

so you're why 4chan hates redditors

The joke was only funny when told in their format, anyway. This sucks

[–]Nagazaki -1 points0 points ago

Had me laugh with voice :D

[–]CallofTraviss 0 points1 point ago

Why was Jared Leto in the hospital?

[–]Omnomphenom 1 point2 points ago

Shamelessly reposted from 4chan.

[–]agmcleod 0 points1 point ago

Good word play. But from what I've heard, Christian bale is a hard guy to work with, and a bit of a douche.

[–]Rafen325 0 points1 point ago

Correction: Christian: 1 Christians: 0

[–]DarkAura57 -2 points-1 points ago

Doesnt even bother to source it.

[–]djv516 0 points1 point ago

I upvoted only because I thought it was funny :)

[–]Fausto1981 -3 points-2 points ago

our move? there's no further move: this is checkmate! (atheists!)

[–]masterboat -2 points-1 points ago

Heheheh Wordplay! Sarcasm can be fun.

Christianity gave us Hitler...so yeh I think Atheists are in the clear here...

ಠ_ಠ

[–]taint_stain 4 points5 points ago

Hitler did try to get rid of the Jews, though.

[–]Silicate 0 points1 point ago

So did just about all christians sects before him too, he was just the one who is remembered best.

[–]Ken_NoisewaterMD -5 points-4 points ago

How dare you use BATMAN with your militant christian bullshit. I hope you sit on your testicles later, then you will feel the pain I felt when I read this post

[–]LordOfGummies -1 points0 points ago

Trolling in a sea of trolls.
