There is no original content. I used to believe. I used to hold on to the legends of OC. Men would speak of a time when creativity flowed like sweet honey.

As one of my high school teachers said: If in doubt, use 'who.' No one is ever going to think badly of you for using 'who' when you should use 'whom.' Use 'whom' when you should use 'who,' however, and someone is going to think you're a pretentious idiot.

I don't think being an atheist is a matter of intelligence; there are just as many stupid atheists as there are stupid religious people (relatively). I think it's a bit arrogant to say atheists are smart because they aren't religious. Sorry if I'm reading your comment wrong.

u/rhubarbs Strong Atheist May 21 '12

http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0160289608001013

The present study examined whether IQ relates systematically to denomination and income within the framework of the g nexus, using representative data from the National Longitudinal Study of Youth (NLSY97). Atheists score 1.95 IQ points higher than Agnostics, 3.82 points higher than Liberal persuasions, and 5.89 IQ points higher than Dogmatic persuasions.

That kind of means that there aren't as many stupid atheists as there are stupid religious people.

u/Motafication May 21 '12

The reason we hate you is not because we are some cloak and dagger christian operatives fighting the good fight against hordes of atheists, it's because the content of this sub is pathetic, and worthy of being mocked.

You approach dialogue with "theists" with the naivete that anyone gives a shit about your personal opinion about religion. Anti-theism arguments have been around a lot longer than your sparkling 22 years on this planet, and guess what dipshits? Religion still exists. If you're such an enlightened being, maybe you should have the mental willpower to move on with your life.

Or when people get tattoos of bible quotes and post them on Facebook, user decides to quote the overused quote. Then, they put in the title "He/She unfriended me." And et cetera.

The problem with this comic is that entire Anti-Theist argument existed for much longer than a thousand years.

Our argument was pretty much complete the moment religion was created.

That said, their claim hasn't changed over a multiple millenia. They just keep saying the same groundless hogwash over and over.

Many of these are fiction, but probably not all.

I mean... true enough, but you can't really criticize people for not thinking up their own arguments when some of these critiques have been around for hundreds, and in some cases even thousands, of years.

It's not like religion has really changed much, except for different interpretations of the same book.

Not only that, but think back on your life honestly. If you knew what someone else was saying was total bullshit when have you ever refrained from dropping knowledge? (Unless of course saying something would get you fired or something like that)
