How I react when people say, "Checkmate Atheist!" (i.imgur.com)

In fairness, I hear this almost exclusively from atheists who are attempting to be either comical or ironic.

That is where it all started I believe... Edward Current

thats true now but at one time it was being used in a serious context. it was such an obnoxious phrase i remember my drunken roommate saying it once whilst poking me in the chest as he said it. i moved out a few weeks later and really don't speak to him anymore.
[–]coolguyblue -1 points0 points1 point 1 month ago
That would have pissed me off too.
[–]1337ninjer 2 points3 points4 points 1 month ago
if it were truly checkmate you wouldn't be saying it more than once per game. maybe we should be more accurate and just say "check".
[–]Pipster8 0 points1 point2 points 1 month ago
haha i love when people say this. if they believe it or not it's still awesome.

Whenever I'm in a quarrel, I quote the good book. Since everyone is quoting the Lord, I figured I should too. Since His word powers over everything and anything,
"And the hilt also went in after the blade, and the fat closed over the blade, for he did not pull the sword out of his belly; and the dung came out." Judges 3:22
Go with Christ.

This gif perfectly describes your feelings. Checkmate, athiest.
[–]Ixilary 1 point2 points3 points 1 month ago
Do you not realize that it is almost always used in a satirical form?
[–]moralnihilist 0 points1 point2 points 1 month ago
Does anyone other than atheists pretending to be Christian fundamentalists for parody purposes say this?
[–]Thergal 0 points1 point2 points 1 month ago
That picture moves, checkmate atheists.
[–]Johnza23 0 points1 point2 points 1 month ago
This is the most boring reaction...
[–]udbluehens 0 points1 point2 points 1 month ago
I get offended because I play chess, god damn it
