    Are we reliving the cringefest atheism memes of early 2000s?

      They won’t go away as long as there are creationists trying to conform the world to their backwards worldview.

    I love seeing memes about religion being downvoted.

    Your religion means nothing to anyone but yourselves and you should keep it to yourselves because we’re just sick of it

          I’d love to hear arguments about how worshipping an invisible being that controls everything you do while also giving you complete autonomy isn’t cringe.

          Or how cutting the tips of baby penises off isn’t cringe. Or dunking a baby in special water isn’t cringe. Or saying the color spectrum visible through a prism is god’s way of saying he’ll never flood the earth again isn’t cringe.

          It’s all cringey af it doesn’t matter what religion. The problem is people actually believe these ridiculous fucking things

            I don’t understand why some people have such a big hate boner for mocking other people’s beliefs

              Probably because religious people do everything they can to bring “awareness” to their people’s “suffering”

              Probably because religion is constantly used as an excuse to violate human rights.

              Probably because religion has no place in modern society.

                Why shouldn’t people believe in whatever they want. As long as it’s not hurting anybody, there’s no problem.

                You say that religious people are wrong as if that actually answers why you’re allowed to mock them, the fact that people are wrong doesn’t make it okay to be an asshole

              If those believes are interfering with our governments policies, they aren’t just free to be mocked, but we are obliged to.

              Nobody cares about your believes if you pray on your own.

              Which is what it says in the Bible btw. [Matthew 6:6]

              Yes I do. I love a system that is based on understanding evidence and facts. I love a system that puts evidence above belief. I love a system that supports repeatable experiments over assumptions.

              I do love science. Not because it provides all the answers but because it’s as real as it gets.

              Take away all religion. In a thousand years there will be new religions.

              Take away all science. In a thousand years the same science will be discovered.

      Sounds good in theory, but a) creationism isn’t a religion and b) creationists and other religious folks aren’t always content to “keep it to themselves.” They often try to use legislation to force their religious views into public schools, for instance.

      I see far more post for these types of “jokes”, that are low effort and repost far more often than I see people trying to legitimately shill for a religion. On here and on reddit.

          Want to hear a fun fact? I grew up in a fundie family and spent every Wednesday after (christian) school, for hours in the Florida sun, wearing a suit, walking door to door trying to get people to be “saved”./ Before spending 2 hours that evening in church where we’d tive status reports on how many we’d “saved” that day. I feel really fucking guilty about that, but I blame my parents more for forcing me into that. Fuck em.

            Genuine question if you don’t mind answering. About how many people did you actually “save”? I feel like most people are universally opposed to door-door salesman.

              I dunno, maybe one or two a month? Not that many. People in that podunk orange-grove town were already pretty religious either at the same church or similar. Generally was kids who didn’t know any better that were just outside playing or teens around our age. And yes, almost all of it was “no thanks, goodbye”

                  We also once spent a week in the far off land of heathens you might have heard of before. It’s called “Canada”. Pretty third world, but we definitely unheathened a lot of kids at church camp that week.

                  Man I feel so dirty just thinking about what I used to consider “normal” human behavior and all the churchy judginess I had. Thanks parents. At least I got out as soon as I was old enough and never looked back.

    Okay… if that’s the difference then… Does this mean creationism is still a sharp tool with an edge, even if without a point?

    Why would it be weird if a God used evolution to make shit and the stories just highlight cultural values?

      Why follow someone who isn’t omnipotent, all powerful, and all knowing?

      And if they are all those things? Why the fuck would you follow them if they’re cool with child cancer deaths and insects that burrow into eyeballs?

      Fuck that noise
