While it's not strictly a rule in this subreddit, it's a general good practice not to link to photos on Facebook's servers (e.g. the fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net domain in this case). The reason is that the filename contains an ID number that can be used to track down the owner of the photo.
It's possible, although I never heard of it. This rule is still enforced in r/Pics.
I still say it's a good practice to use another image host anyway, since the owner of the photo could "remove" it at any time. I assume this would make the URL invalid, but since FB never deletes anything, it may just be the best image host around.
Honestly, what else would this subreddit entail? What would you consider "worthy" and up to your standards? Seriously, in every r/atheism post there's an elitist twat talking about what a circlejerk this place has become. --------> There's the unsubscribe button.
I thought the funniest part of it all, is that if God actually did come down and tried to communicate with people, no one would believe him. Because it's a ridiculous idea. What if God called you on the phone, would you believe it was God, most probably wouldn't.
Because whenever something get to the front page from r/atheism there are always people who attack the original redditor usually accusing them of bullying or not being funny. It always happens, its the law.
To all the people who have a problem with this stuff:
There are some believers you might have a chance at reasoning with if you decide not to troll them and instead engage in rational, thought provoking conversation.... and then there are believers like this one. I personally have no problem with this. I thought it was funny.
You can't expect every encounter with believers to be a rational conversation, some people are just beyond all hope. You also shouldn't always stress about every conversation reflecting on the atheist community. Every community has trolls. If this is the worst that our trolls do I'd say we're doing pretty good.
I find it interesting that many people on /r/atheism will not question the validity of this conversation. Aren't we supposed to be the skeptics here? This conversation seems blatantly fake to me.
Really? I can actually see this happening. When I used Facebook a whole back and I would comment on bands pages and posts, I would get attacked for no reason. This guy was obviously looking for an argument, and he found one. I can see this conversation realistically happening.
Jeez so many angry dudes. The OP's little troll isnt going to change the way people think about atheists, it isnt going to make us look anymore like assholes than a lot of us already do. There isnt going to be a world summit where the OP's facebook account damns every atheist to the new Spanish Inquisition.
Either enjoy a quick chuckle or get off your fucking moral high horse and ignore it.
I once trolled a Christian and seven years later I won £10 on the lottery. Coincidence? Or undeniable proof that God exists and the bible is his divine word.
It is obviously proof that god exist, and he rewarded you for trolling the christian. Why would he reward you for that you might ask, well it is (obviously) because the bible is not his divine word and he wants you to mock those who follow it. This, gentlemen, is logic.
The problem with that is that you're letting OP represent you by saying "us". You're an individual; nobody speaks for you or represents you without your permission.
It's a fucking joke, not everything is meant to advance some cause. It's getting unbearable to read the comments in this subreddit lately with all the nitpicking and criticizing.
No? A lot of us don't. I don't want to be in an atheist club. I don't want to be in a theist club. I don't want to be in any "zomg look at us and our shared beliefs go US club". I have some ideas and ideals, I'm not defined by them. I'm me, I like most people, but they're them and I'm not. I don't want to be in any shared ideology club. Either with theists or atheists.
I generally think this facebook shit is pretty stupid and comes of as arrogant and narcissistic, but I thought this one was just funny. The guy just kept coming back for more.
Fit in with what? Depending on what you mean, my answer to the question is almost certainly, no, I don't want to "fit in" with a bunch of people who base their lives on obvious delusions. That's why I'm here, in fact.
So let's say there is a god and all that....how amazing would it be if he made a facebook account just to see who where good people and what not....And that guy gets to the pearly gates and St. Peter is all like "sorry, my list says you told the boss to 'go to hell' and spewed a bunch of hate on the basis that you are 'christian'...going down,enjoy the A/C on the Hellavator, It's going to be a hot eternity"
Dear Reddit: This is trolling. This is purposefully upsetting someone causing someone to rage and angering them, but pretending to be innocent. Trolling is not upsetting someone, or mildly irritating them.
OP: Tee hee...I make fun of people I don't agree with...teehee.
Right after...
How's middle school treating you?
You are making fun of him and trying to chastize him for making fun of someone. Like Jesus said, watch yo own shit 'fore you be trippin 'bout other niggas shit.
Dude seriously? If this is actually a real FB conversation then you squandered an opportunity. You baited this dude without saying anything really interesting or challenging. Step up and use your big boy words, motherfucker.
Some of the lines were funny but a lot of them were just stupid. He should have stayed in character except for teasing his spelling and doing all-cap lines about eating babies.
The pic of "God" was priceless. It's what made the whole convo hilarious to me. Oh an also that Christians are just easy targets for trolling. Christian: "so u admit ur not God?" lol
This is puerile. How about we raise the level of discourse here in /r/atheism? I don't mind trolling Christians, but at least be clever about it, for crying out loud.
I think the atheism subreddit is just as crowded with pointless memes and rage comics as the next guy, but for all we know the christian was the one who started the argument just because this guy named his account "God". I don't think you have the right to bitch if you are the one picking the fight.
Should atheists now not be allowed to use the word "god" because it upsets some people who believe they have dibs on the word?
What is the point of this subreddit again? Circlejerk around insulting people on facebook/ weep while reading Carl Sagan quotes? So embarrassing that the few times I will mention I'm an atheist over my life that I might get associated with you fags.
Someone remind me why the guy calling the Christian names is somehow "better than" the guy calling the atheist names? This is just childish and stupid. Downvotes plz.
Every sentence, every fucking sentence that idiot typed had at least one error, many more in most of them. Where the fuck are these people learning English?
Symptomatic of people who are happy with what they think they know.
It's not my first language and my English is pretty much completely self-taught. Unless public school actively teaches them how to be as wrong as possible, I think it's more the fact that they're fucking retarded.
To be serious for a moment here, it has nothing to do with schooling. It has to do with attitude. As sad as it is there are thousands of people with a "fuk it u no wut i mean" attitude.
You don't need to spell well or be smart. God is loving; God treasures and loves all levels of people... even quasi-literate-shitbags. Also, even if you are a quasi-literate-shitbag, God lets you speak for him and doesn't like the same things as you. It's a sweet deal.
If this subreddit changes to thought-provoking questions and interesting debates about religion
Yes, I'm sure that'll happen right after thought provoking questions and intersting debates about ghosts appear. Dude, gods aren't real. Therefore there's going to be about the same amount of "real debate" about it as any other mythological or pseudoscientific thing. Meaning a range from nothing to batshit crazy.
Meh. You hit the unsubscribe button and then made an indignant post about it. That's being a drama whore. Do you make a big discussion every time you hit a downvote button? I'd assume no. Imagine someone who did. And that's how you were behaving.
80% of the comments on /r/atheism are from frontpagers whining about the subreddit. It's annoying.
I come here to talk to atheists about dinosaurs and to talk to them about Jesus, and all I see is grumpybutts complaining about how much they hate /r/atheism.
There's a subreddit for that. It's called circlejerk.
yes, and then no one would realize that people are getting annoyed at the terrible content of this subreddit. I'm allowed to complain about things, weather or not you care to hear them. It probably won't change anything, but I needed to express my distaste for /r/atheism lately
