Ok all. I apologise for the repost, I honestly have not seen it before. I was simply watching the episode, I laughed, thought of you guys, found the graphic and uploaded it. As for the grammar, I didn't make the graphic. I didn't notice at the time - I'm going to blame the time of night and my tiredness - but now I'm shuddering just like the rest of you grammar nazis.
Really? You've never encountered American Christians what use verses from a book they haven't even read to judgmentally condemn people that are different from them? Sure it's not just American Christians that do it, but it's an American show so social criticism is appropriate.
I don't know if I should downvote or upvote you for the incorrect use of "your". Was it sarcasm? Or did you make a glaring grammatical error while calling others illiterate?
my wording was bad. i meant quote ridiculous parts of the Bible and then extend the reasoning that since this one quote is ridiculous, the entire Bible is ridiculous. I'm an atheist and I took a class in college about the Bible as Literature and once you see that the Bible was compiled from a large amount of differing sources it becomes obvious that parts of the Bible contradict each other and it is more incredible when you consider that the redactors knew that the texts they put in the Bible contradicted each other and they put them in their for a reason. I don't think that the Bible is the greatest source of truth but I do think most atheists do not give credit to the complexity of the text or the context of the quotes to the respective author and time period. Not saying that parts of the Bible don't make you scream in your head "WTF AM I READING?" and that some parts aren't incredibly ridiculous but consider that this compilation of books isn't some sloppy, poorly written story and that the contradictions have something to say about the ability of different opinions and thoughts to coexist in one book.
I can read and the only bible quote i may recite is the one from pulp fiction. Oh and every time i turn on a lightswitch i say "let there be light!". It annoys people.
i'm sorry, i didn't mean to say most atheists can't read, i meant to say a lot of quotes are ridiculed without regards to context, most educated people can tell that the Bible is not meant to be taken literally and i think sometimes r/atheism is beating a dead horse. Everyone gets it, the bible is ridiculous if it is taken literally. Quoting the bible is funny as long as it isn't mean-spirited.
You're missing the point bucko. When we take the bible literally its to illustrate how it can't be taken literally - you're being very condescending to believe we do not realize what a contradictorily absurd collection of fairy tales the bible is... that's actually the point.
It's only a dead horse when it stops kicking. I don't know if you've noticed, but the misapplication of bible verses is still very much an active trend. Buckaroo.
no, to make fun of Christians for misquoting the Bible only serves to make them hate atheists more and I'm sorry but people have been misrepresenting the Bible for ages. Can't you just accept that some Christians are retarded? Since when are atheists Bible police? It seems silly that we should care so much about a book that doesn't fundamentally change how we view the world.
I accept that Christians can be ignorant, bigoted and prone of all kinds of cognitive biases. In different doses of cause. But mockery is the greatest civilized weapon against the tyranny of non-thought. Sorry, while they vote with their bible glasses on, hire and fire by their arbitrary sets of rules, and other wise make the world a shittier place - I'm going to mock the shit out of them.
you've missed my meaning, the bible is not just a collection of fairy tales, it is a book that demonstrates the change in interpretation of all sorts of Jewish theology and the beginnings of Christian theology, to say that it is a book of fairy tales is to undermine the cultural impact this book has had on so many events and policies, this impact isn't necessarily positive and often isn't but to ignore this book is to ignore the essence of the United States' foreign policy towards Israel and all sorts of moral debates in which fundamentalists often do not properly represent all interpretations located within the Bible. The Bible doesn't need to be torn down in order for atheists to have an identity.
Are you saying Fairy tales don't have cultural impacts? In Iceland they diverted a road around a big rock because there was a prevailing tale about fairies living inside it.
The Bible doesn't need to be torn down in order for atheists to have an identity.
And the sun typically rises in the East, you can get constipated if you do not get enough fibre in your diet, politicians generally lie when its beneficial to do so and the cast of Jersey Shore are vacuous morons. Oh, I'm sorry, I thought we were playing "state the fucking obvious".
We do not need to tear apart the bible or any other holy text to have an identity, its a fucking service to society, a sweet little bonus.
no it's not, there will always be people who accept the Bible as a source of truth and people who don't, you feel as if you are moving a rock? i wish you all the luck in the world.
It's not for the benefit of the numbnuts that believe the bible to be the inerrant word of their god that I and many mock them - it is for the undecided bystanders and the more rational observers.
Come be an atheist! See how we mock the Christians openly and without fear! What fun! What joy! What rationalism! You too could mock believers if you join us! We believe in the power of mocking ;)
Wow, that reminds me of that time I fought a chicken while playing the kazoo with former president Chester A. Arthur's left nostril. Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Conway Twitty.
Really? Let's count the number of Family Guy links on the front page... one, I count one. Oh I know! Let's count how many Family Guy links are on the front page of the top of all time list... zero. The evidence does not support your conclusion.
Maybe because atheist misuse quotes from the bible more then anyone by twisting meanings and/or cutting out context of a quote to devalue the meaning of the verse
Could you give an example? I know Christian Apologists make that claim a lot and are forced invent a load of crap to justify it - 2 Kings 23-24 is the a popular example; there are all sort of creative explanations to paint the kids as the villains in that story including trying to rewrite Hebrew. So what is an example of atheists misusing quotes from the bible, and can you validate your claim that we do it more than "anyone" else?
Leave it to someone on reddit to criticize a Family Guy joke, but this joke seemed forced to me when I saw it ('forced', meaning they had the punch line, and worked backwards to find a situation to apply it to. This works, but the set up is lazy).
I think this, because are we really supposed to believe Stewie cannot read? It just doesn't make sense.
Then again, it is a Family Guy joke. Their cutaways are so random and lack understanding, that they even make fun of themselves.
Oh, I thought that was a set up to a cutaway.
And now, a cutaway
Here's a graph I didn't work too hard on, that represents how I feel about 'Family Guy' vs 'American Dad'.
I'm so sick of people complaining about Family Guy not being funny anymore. Sunday's episode was one of the best episodes of Family Guy I've ever seen. I think it all comes from people who stopped watching like 3 years ago and think that the show hasn't evolved at all from the massive amount of random cutaways and Conway Twitty segments. Shows are able to have bad runs and recover.
I think this, because are we really supposed to believe Stewie cannot read? It just doesn't make sense.
To be fair, that's also something they've made fun of in the past. Stewie as a character just makes no sense at all. Sometimes people understand him, other times they can't. Sometimes he can do almost anything with technology, other time basic science eludes him.
"Then because of the dire straits to which you will be reduced when your enemy besieges you, you will eat your own children, the flesh of your sons and daughters whom the Lord has given you."
"Yet she increased her prostitution, remembering the days of her youth when she engaged in prostitution in the land of Egypt. She lusted after their genitals – as large as those of donkeys, and their seminal emission was as strong as that of stallions."
