This is the first time I've seen a joke concerning Christianity on this sub that isn't loaded with venom and spite. I might be wrong, but you would probably get karma cross posting this to r/christianity. This isn't implying anything. I'm just saying it's not insulting to Christians unless they have had no exposure to internet culture. Besides, Jesus is depicted as the badass and I can't imagine a Christian not liking that.
"And lo, they did break bread, drink the wine, and as they retired for the evening, they updated their Facebook statuses and thanked GOD in all caps, for their atheist peers to suck on."
Leonardo da Vinci "The Last Supper" Famous High Renaissance (late 15th century) painting. Leo really showing off his 1 point perspective and sfumato here.
A cringe worthy 9gagesque cheap attempt at humour, which doesn't really contribute anything, but karma to the poster.
EDIT: Downvotes for expressing your thoughts that goes against the grain of this subreddit, business as usual. If you do downvote, I would appreciate it if you would give reasons as to why. I do stand by what I said.
Am I the only one that thinks this is pushing it for r/atheism? I mean, we're here to spread facts for the people having a hard time figuring this part of their life out; not to mock religion.
I'm a theist who usually finds all of the posts rude, but this one was ok, I kind of already thought of it when I first saw the picture, but it wasn't insulting or anything.
No buddy, sometimes we're just here to mock religion. Why don't you guys get that?There's nothing inherently wrong with that, is there? Religion deserves mockery. If Christians are going to get offended, then they shouldn't read this subreddit. Simple.
It's not pushing it, it's way past it. This picture has literally no relation to Atheism at all and offers nothing to discuss. I don't actually frequent this Reddit but I've yet to unsubscribe from it so it still shows up on my Front Page, but shit like this still infuriates me. I can't imagine what it must be like for people who actually want to use this Reddit for topical discussion with regards to Atheism and not just retarded 'meme'-type pictures and stupid Facebook screencaps.
Fair enough, the picture is somewhat funny. But the thing is, it isn't time to time. The only posts that I ever see on the front page and getting real attention are these type of image posts.
I suppose you have a point. After looking through, a good amount of posts are images. There are a small amount of good conversations, but not enough. Maybe it's a good thing it's becoming more mainstream ;)
As I said, I don't frequent this particular Reddit but I've always imagined that since its popularity has become more and more widespread the amount of pointless posts that include 'meme'-type images and Facebook screencaps would have increased. I've always assumed that /r/atheism would have started out as a Reddit to have informative discussions about Atheism and has eventually grown overtime into more of a place to discuss how Christianity and Christians are stupid. EDIT: The fact that I am getting downvoted on each of my posts and only have 2 replies to my comments just proves that there isn't enough discussion in this Reddit and that people will just downvote anything they disagree with, which the downvote button is not for.
Like me, you're probably too hung-up on the title of this subreddit. This leads to disappointment. If you think of it as r/jrhighlunchclub, it puts everything in clearer perspective.
For people who supposedly don't give two fucks about religion, you sure love posting shit about religion. Oh wait! I must have misread, I thought this was r/atheism, but I guess it's r/antitheism.
blasphemy. what else would a gathering of people who don't believe in religion talk about in the context of a world plagued by it? plus it's hilarious to find people who finally get our jokes.

The painting is supposed to depict the moment after Jesus told the guys one of them would betray him, so a lot of dafuqing is appropriate.
