This is a repost, and there doesn't seem to be a reliable source for the quote.

[–]Dmoneater 59 points60 points ago

Why can't you just take it on faith that she said it?

[–]FSMfan 35 points36 points ago

"Without faith, it is impossible to please me" -- CHRISTina Applegate.

[–]johnsmcjohn 4 points5 points ago

Checkmate, atheists.

[–]MagicBob78 5 points6 points ago

You are correct sir! (or madam) and here is a comment from what I believe is the first posting of this image. It contains a link to the supposed creator of the image and a quote from his Facebook page saying that he says it is entirely possible she didn't say it. Every source I tried to find online only attributed the quote to a "magazine interview" without any source magazine listed. I'm gonna have to agree and call this quote bullshit.

[–]LaheyShitStorm 1 point2 points ago

She is a Christian, it is 100% fake, as was the conclusion met the past 4 times some dumbass posted this.

[–]FuckinJabberwocky 2 points3 points ago

Too late, erection achieved.

[–]Norse_of_60 2 points3 points ago

True dat. Let's move on and talk about that great fucking rack she had.

[–]NotYou007 4 points5 points ago

FUCK CANCER!

Took her awesome set of boobs.

Married with Children was a ground breaking show too.

[–]Colesephus 1 point2 points ago

Alright im gonna be that guy...Honestly had no idea she had cancer or anything. Can someone tell me that story?

[–]barjam 1 point2 points ago

She had cancer and a double mastectomy I believe.

[–]isometimesweartweed 0 points1 point ago

Woah woah woah now. She had cancer!?!

[–]NotYou007 0 points1 point ago

http://articles.cnn.com/2008-10-14/living/o.christina.applegate.double.mastectomy_1_christina-applegate-breast-cancer-double-mastectomy?_s=PM:LIVING

Then, in April 2008, shocking news silenced the laughter. At 36 years old, Christina was diagnosed with breast cancer. At first, Christina says she lived quietly with the disease. "It's hard to live quietly," she says. "I went through five weeks of work without telling anyone that this was going on in my life."

THAT'S proof there is no god.

You took every word out of my mouth.

[–]BTMaverick707 0 points1 point ago

The last one I saw was her against it.

[–]KilroyLeges 0 points1 point ago

I knew someone would say that. Knowing that, I'd still hit it.

[–]TheSuitGuy 14 points15 points ago

I'm fairly certain this is a fake quote. The first time I saw it was on Facebook by the Cult of Dusty, then re-posted to a few hours later, with Dusty Smith saying it "may" have been made up by him. I'm not 100% certain, but, unless someone can link to a reputable source for this, based on what I've seen, I'm going to consider it a fake.

[–]Animation 0 points1 point ago

The content and style of delivery does sound like Dusty.

[–]somethingspiffy 15 points16 points ago

just now? what's wrong with you?

[–]KPDBfan[S] 11 points12 points ago

Well I liked her on Married... With Children, but other than that, I never considered myself a "fan"

[–]lilwhitestormy 12 points13 points ago

i appreciate your proper punctuation of the title

[–]ShadowAssassinQueef 0 points1 point ago

This went over my head, what is correct?

[–]lilwhitestormy 1 point2 points ago

it's "Married... with Children", but most of the time people ignore the ellipsis.

[–]ShadowAssassinQueef 0 points1 point ago

Oh thank you.

[–]UnholyDemigod -1 points0 points ago

I was a fan of her boobs. Now they're gone :(

[–]kimshoo 10 points11 points ago

I love her. She's hilarious in Samantha who and up all night.

[–]Kfeno 3 points4 points ago

So much.

Why weren't you already a christina applegate fan

[–]CosmicIndifference 9 points10 points ago

As it was repeatedly said the last time this was posted... There is no reliable source for this... As much as I wish she said this, proper skepticism is necessary and we should seriously stop posting this until a more reliable source is found... :\

[–]SumoMoses 8 points9 points ago

Repost AND not a real quote...

[–]remton_asq 1 point2 points ago

FUUUUCK YOU.

TIL the religious right has been around for thousands of years.

Another fake quote, another two thousand upvotes from the r/atheism horde.

[–]Not_Me_But_A_Friend 2 points3 points ago

How many times is this subreddit going to be trolled with this CA quote?

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points ago

fake quote and repost, i think you even used the same title

[–]internetarguments 1 point2 points ago

I don't watch any media, I let the beliefs of celebrities decide whether I am pleased with them or not. I'm just that above it all.

[–]chadsexytime 1 point2 points ago

[–]NannigarCire 2 points3 points ago

Can we stop?

Can we just god damn stop with these posts?

Oh man, look a flattering photograph of a celebrity with a quote of how they too support athiesm. Holy-fucking-shit. MINDBLOWING

AMAZING

MY GOD WHAT AN INCREDIBLE THING YOU HAVE SHOWN US

WOO!

[–]sethpeck 8 points9 points ago

Funny, beautiful, rational, and extremely intelligent...what's not to like?

[–]christoefur 4 points5 points ago

Laughing at River Phoenix as he died

[–]ezlol 3 points4 points ago

My girlfriend also cites this as her reason for hating Christina Applegate.

A little digging didn't find me any answers though.

"Christina Applegate, who had been inside the club, came out and nervously watched Phoenix shaking. When she went to report what was going on to one of her girlfriends, someone said that they were laughing and making fun of Phoenix's soon-to-be-fatal condition. But others say that Applegate was genuinely upset, and that the stories about her laughing are simply untrue. "

So its not likely anyone will know fore sure, and even if she did laugh, she wouldn't admit to it. River was pretty awesome though :(

[–]CinomedTweak 2 points3 points ago

Another thing to consider here, the kinda party that was, no one was "sober" and seeing anything you don't understand is liable to cause laughter....

Maybe "not sober" isn't a good excuse for laughing at someone that is dying, but I hardly would jump to the conclusion they were laughing "at River dying" rather then laughing at "River acting all messed up".

[–]agentmuu 6 points7 points ago

10/10 would punch in ovaries again

[–]Corbzor 2 points3 points ago

Again?

Do tell.

[–]agentmuu 2 points3 points ago

It was a long time ago. One thing I can assure you, it escalated quickly from there.

[–]Direnaar 3 points4 points ago

Ah yes, loved her in Anchorman

[–]HydrogenxPi 1 point2 points ago

Damn did she grow up nice.

[–]mikek44224 0 points1 point ago

I was always a Kelly Bundy fan. This just shows her beauty is more than skin tight...shit, skin deep

[–]cloudywater 1 point2 points ago

...Why aren't you saying the religious right is wrong for condemning homosexuals and terrorizing them for thousands of years?

[–]defuse00 0 points1 point ago

Reminds me of this wondeful song.

[–]FrowningSetter 0 points1 point ago

Interestingly, her debut role was in a 1979 film titled, "Jaws of Satan".

[–]hook_it_to_my_veins 0 points1 point ago

I recall Artie Lange on the Howard Stern show reminiscing about working with her on a TV show and he mentioned she would have a prayer circle before each taping.... This Doesn't sound like her.

[–]Random0001 0 points1 point ago

Repost for sure... Since everyone here is an expert, explain what the "religious right" is versus someone who has religion.

[–]Amryxx 2 points3 points ago

"Religious right" = someone with right-wing views who are also religious. In the US, commonly attributed to conservatives in the Bible Belt.

I have never heard of the "atheist right", but I assume they do exist.

[–]syphilitic 0 points1 point ago

I don't believe there is a cohesive "atheist right" movement, but you'll find plenty of right-wing atheists in the military. Also, they're out there, in Washington working behind the scenes in PR, policy, lobbying. They're also represented on the staffs of various right-wing publications like the National Review. You'll see more and more of them come out of the woodwork as the GOP shifts away from the culture wars, which they've lost, and their doomed marriage with evangelical Christianity.

[–]Tonytarium 1 point2 points ago

Christian Applegate is Gooorrrgeous

FAKE! Christian Applegate is a devoted xian

[–]gnualmafuerte 0 points1 point ago

But she has a love/hate relationship with christians. Why? Well, on the one hand, she can turn any gay dude straight, so they love her for that. On the other hand, she can turn any woman into a lesbian in a nanosecond.

[–]hippiekyle 0 points1 point ago

you mean you didn't spend years fawning over her on married with children?

[–]killa320 -1 points0 points ago

I wasn't aware the religious right has been around for thousands of years.

[–]buffnuggler 0 points1 point ago

She was so fucking hot in Hall Pass.

[–]IceKnight366 0 points1 point ago

That's because there is no right on wrong on the atheist position. So she's smart to recognize that.

[–]mikfin1423 0 points1 point ago

You just became a fan...ppsshh!

[–]Averant 1 point2 points ago

Aaah, the ol' Fight Fire With Fire approach. Using no logic to combat no logic. In the end, everybody wins, because nobody's listening to anybody else.

[–]she--has -1 points0 points ago

if she said it, and then she lost her boobs to a "disease," would you then believe in faith??

I've seen things man, makes you wonder man...

[–]Colesephus 1 point2 points ago

Go back to your home on whore island!

[–]Colesephus 0 points1 point ago

YOU DIRTY PIRATE HOOKER.

[–]nakedapedude 1 point2 points ago

Anyone who just became a Christina Applegate fan hasn't seen Married With Children.

[–]bebattey -1 points0 points ago

Could we please get some mods to delete fake quote posts? This whole ironic credibility thing is getting to me.

[–]aznboi972 1 point2 points ago

Kelly Bundy...would do before, will do now.

[–]biscobuddha 0 points1 point ago

LAME awful quote

[–]Dicky1893 0 points1 point ago

I wanna be on you...

[–]goezzel 0 points1 point ago

This is a repost. I love Christina Applegate and the quote is alright, but I really wish this would stop showing up on the front page every week

[–]toolverine 0 points1 point ago

Maybe these quote images should have a link to the source contained within. Then the same image would not have to be vetted over and over.

[–]Frederic54 0 points1 point ago

I am fan of her since Kelly Bundy ;-)

[–]lmnopeee 0 points1 point ago

If I ever forget about this quote, all I have to do is wait a week and be reminded by a repost! Amen!

[–]prayerheals 0 points1 point ago

No talent? Make a controversial statement.

[–]tinydancerboy 0 points1 point ago

She is very funny, witty, and curses like a sailor. It would not surprise me if she did say this.

[–]Stick314 0 points1 point ago

I've always been a Christina Applegate fan.

[–]nosferatu_zodd -5 points-4 points ago

fuck faggots.

[–]ziggmuff -2 points-1 points ago

Really doesn't take much to impress a lefty lib. Just say "fuck you" to people they don't agree with, and suddenly you're on their level.
