THIS IS LITERALLY TRUE!!!!! NO ATHEIST HAS EVERY KILLED A SKYFUNDIE BECAUSE OF HIS RELIGION!!!! SKYFUNDIES KILL PEOPLE ALL THE TIME I MEAN WITHOUT RELIGION THERE WOULD STILL BE THE WORLD TRADE CENTER!!!!!!!

It's like he's speaking directly to me!

[–]DryvBy 14 points15 points ago

Like a heavenly spirit, almost. You know, if I believed in that sort of thing.

[–][deleted] 34 points35 points ago

Like Stalin or North Korea right!

[–]Nikola95Logic. Then Reason. 22 points23 points ago

Soviet Russia and North Korea were organized by the church to give Atheists a bad name!

[–]CaptainSombrero 12 points13 points ago

Don't forget Pol Pot and the Mexican Red Shirts!

Hitler was a Christian, therefore all Christians are Hitler.

[–]Orange-CrushEr 6 points7 points ago

LOGIC'D RIGHT IN THE FAITH

[–]cardinalwolsey 1 point2 points ago

Hitler was definatly a christian. There is no way his love of darwin would ever trump his love for Jesus. HItler may be a bad guy but he WOULD NEVER lie to the public about anything! there is no way he would lie to the christian german people about being christian in order to maintain popularity. HE IS JUST NOT HTAT BAD OF A GUY.

/ooc Sadly, people do believe the Church created Communism, among other things. And they're not even Atheists!

[–]FundieDestroyer 28 points29 points ago

/ooc

This is maybe the third time I've seen this, and it gets more obtuse and ridiculous every time I see it.

[–]vainamo-No True Atheist 4 points5 points ago

ooc: but they can write things like that and when a religious person takes offense they can say:

gOD YOU RELIGIOUS PEOPLE TAKE THINGS TOO SERIOUSLY IT WAS JUST A JOKE LIGHTEN UP!

[–]vainamo-No True Atheist 1 point2 points ago

It's obvious you want to violently silence any opposition to your delusion.

[–]atheist_ 21 points22 points ago

hey guys, atheism isn't a religion. it's the lack if belief in god.

check out this comic comparing atheism to religion.

[–]yep45 15 points16 points ago

if only we had science, 9/11 could have been prevented

[–]theskyismine 15 points16 points ago

no, it is SO brave

[–]LibertariansLOL 12 points13 points ago

over the 40 years since roe v wade, 8 people have been killed in the US due to anti-abortionists

extrapolate that to a couple million years and you'll come close to the soviet union's extremist atheist kill count against the orthodox church

[–]Carl_DePaul_DawkinsLogical... Sometimes coldly so. 2 points3 points ago

[–]idosillythings 9 points10 points ago

/ooc I used to love the Oatmeal, now it just seems like every third comic he makes is about how stupid religious people are.

I'm a Muslim and I think that the extremists should be made fun of but when he made that one comic saying that showing the Prophet (pbuh) would automatically get him death threats I felt kind of offended. I would never threaten someone because of something like that and I realize that he was talking about the crazies but the way he put it just kind of rang of ignorance.

[–]Young_Money_HustlasMountain. Then Dew. 8 points9 points ago

/ooc It's pandering more than ignorance, I think. I mean, if he can combine a persecution complex, a superiority complex, vast generalization that helps to allow the world to be simplified into "white places = good", and anti-theistic condescension, he's going to hit reddit gold every time. (Possibly literally, considering his reddit account GiantBatFart does in fact have reddit gold. I doubt he paid for it, and if he did, he used profits from sales to redditors to do so.)

[–]MWozz 6 points7 points ago

C'mon, guys, not enough

in the comments.

Edit: Also,

[–]Appendant 5 points6 points ago

OOC: So much pulling words out of their asses in the comments...

It doesn't take a STEM degree to know the basics of history. They have entire libraries of information at their fingertips. And yet there are still comments stating that no atheist EVER in the entirety of human history has committed or has sought to commit large-scale violence against the religious or in general. They only need to look to Ayn Rand's works to see a want for violence in the name of "rationality".
