    Default If Atheists Ruled The World

    This made me absolutely SICK to watch.

    Eh, don't let it get to you. Though I do understand your irritation of course.

    Maybe it's my current mood--a bit cynical I confess--but I thought it was funny, because it was so absurd.

    Put one of those nerds out into the jungle with some chimpanzees they claim to be so superior to, and watch him try to survive. That would be funny!

    The part at the beginning about acid and the human body made me facepalm.

    I have no problem with religions, but this video just reinforced my extreme dislike of fundamentalism in general. But I did get a really good laugh out of it anyway though.....

    Dear i believe you may have fallen victim to Poe's Law which basically states that fundamentalist are so insane that you cannot parody them because anything you do will pretty much look like the real thing. I took that video as a joke, but there really are a lot of people who feel exactly the same way and were probably nodding thoughtfully while watching rather than laughing their ass off at the ridiculous things religious people believe.

    Win. I read the website that they are getting those quotes from. Not sure where it is not, but my favorite is this, "Apes are just creatures twisted by Satan to mock Jesus by giving EVILolition credibility."

    LMAO wtf I can't believe people say shit like that. I enjoyed the delivery of the video since it's being used to mock and expose but I share your anger in the thought processes that fundamentalists and uneducated folks have.

    I once had friends who were fundamentalists. They were strict but nowhere near as strict as the hard core ones. In other words, as strange as this sounds moderate fundamentalist. However as they got more and more into church, they talked to me less and less until the friendship was broken because I was "a leftwing lesbian socialist Satanist". Very ironic because I am none of the above (I've been accused of being somewhat conservative actually in many cases). There church was the most hate filled church where women who dared to work, or minorities who dared to have management jobs were considered Satanic or whatever the new bad word is. In general I don't really care for many atheists either, but I find them far less scary than fundamentalists. Both groups want this country to be certain ways and I disagree with both.

    I believe they are mocking it, it's in the delivery. The words are by real people, though.

    The video was funny. The fact that there are people who actually think like that for real is funny too, until you realize how poisonous it really is. Fundamentalism is responsible for a huge amount of global tragedy, both in current times, and historically. It should die.

    ^^I agree. It should die. I'm pretty sure the vid is a parody. Very funny.

    Though the video and every "christian" gives me a good laugh. Every religion is completely retarded to me, and believing in it makes you boderline insane.

    I am not sure what the heck is going on, but I do know there has been some pretty bad news when atheists take over a country. They can and are as bad as the "Christians" (seems to be everybody's whipping boy these days.)

    Lets look at the modern reality of atheists ruling:

    Anyplace that was communist controlled, Stalin, Pol Pot, etc. was very anti-religion and under their regimes and ideology literally millions were killed.

    "Dime a dozen" dictators often have no religious affiliation or went to church. Creatures such as Idi Amin, responsible for hundreds of thousands of deaths, as well Pinochet were not religion affiliated.

    And of course before anyone invokes Godwin's Law, the Nazi's were very much anti-religion - especially if one was Jewish.

    So, if anyone thinks that atheism is the cure all answer to fair and equitable government, they should really take their blind fold off.

    There is no better governmental policy than some simple common sense. The regimes you mention are just as extremist in their own right as any fundamentalist campaign and it is that blind belief in an extremist dogma that gives us problems, regardless of what idol, or lack of, it bows to.

    I think it is an episode of "Trading Spouses." Perhaps one of the best episodes of reality TV ever made!

    I'll have to disagree with some of this.

    Hitler wasn't an atheist, he was anti-catholic maybe, but not anti-religion. He wanted his religion to be rule. Nazis believed in god, so therefore they were not atheists. He disliked the power the cathlicks had, but was a catholic himself.

    I'll agree that atheism isn't the magic pill for evil. Evil people will be evil. Murderers will murder. Sure religion has caused some otherwise "normal" people to murder, but surely it has caused some "evil" people to be "normal" as well. So I don't believe that religion or atheism is the magic pill to cure EVERYONES problems, but it would surely eliminate some stupidity.

    Its not fair that laws are not passed/upheld because of faith based backings. Like gay marriage. Gay people can't marry here because people are christians. If it weren't for christians we would have gay marriage everywhere. Gays deserve the same right to be able to marry, and be given the same benefits from government/employers as 'straight' couples are given. Businesses with a religous backing are tax exempt, when they are just like any other business. Fair to me? NO. If you are in business, you pay taxes. Don't care what the nature is.

    Christians deserve to be whipping boys because the religion is vile, hate filled, very offensive to women, and so utterly fucking stupid on such an assclownish level. I find other religions (scientology, muslim faiths to name a few) to be just as horrible, if not worse, but will pick on the christians because they are the common ones and the source of most of the government power in my neck of the woods. If I lived in Turkey, I would bitch about the muslims.

    Personally, I support gay marriage, however I do not think a church should be FORCED to accept it. It should be their choice what they allow (btw I do not support tax dollars going to church in any form). Many straight people disrespect the tradition, such as cheating on each other, serial marriages, making a mockery of it, etc. Don't get me started on those people who live together for years, have children, yet think marriage is "a piece of paper". Meanwhile, gay couples often have their wishes ruined. I grew up near a long term gay couple who had been together over 20 years. The one partner died and his survivor got nothing because they weren't legally married. However the deceased partner's sister (who disowned him) got everything including his house and business. If they had been married this never would have happened.

    Yes, many Christians insult religion, but this happens across the board, including atheism. There are MANY problems I have with atheism, including the fact they are the ones who made it almost a crime for people to say Merry Christmas. I say Merry Christmas or Happy Hannukah to people and don't care if atheists get offended. Many of them cause trouble by protesting EVERYTHING. Am I a hard core Christian? Not at all, but I do believe in many views. I just have a problem with atheists trying to make others abide by their rules.
