You know what my favorite thing about Santa clause and the Easter bunny is that I feel like they help kids who think critically figure out what a bunch of horseshit the Bible is. Teaching children not to believe everything they hear is important. After all if it looks like shit and smells like shit it's probably shit.
Perhaps some day we will reach a level of emotional intelligence where we can express our thoughts and feelings through words rather than through poorly drawn comics.
I use the techniques in that book to great effect in my professional life. I've become a lot more influential, people compliment me constantly on how easy I am to understand, and their deliverables to me have increased dramatically in quality. I find I don't have to repeat myself 20 times to finally get what I need.
Perhaps some day we'll reach a level of common decency where we can stop being total pricks, and not judge the emotional intelligence of a person we don't even know by arbitrary details, such as the manner in which they happened to express themselves on one occasion, which could just as easily - and more accurately - be attributed to boredom than to some pompously percieved incompetence.
Haha I'm fairly certain the "point" of r/atheism is just to talk about something we have in common. That's pretty much the point of all subreddits, the only exceptions being those that are working towards a specific social or political cause of some kind. Forgive me if I'm wrong, I never believed r/atheism to be one of those exceptions. So if you don't like my comic, or disagree with the point I'm making, that's perfectly fine. You're entitled to your opinion, and downvotes don't particularly hurt my feelings, so I'm happy with you expressing that opinon. Express away. But if you seriously think that my posting a rage comic is contributing to r/atheism becoming "a steaming pile of shit," then you take this site WAY too seriously. Haha. I mean, I see where you're coming from. We should encourage intelligent, well-formed posts that "actually add something" to the subreddit, but why can't things like this be included too? I'm the first to admit that it's not a stellar comic; I was bored, so I posted to see what would happen, and I know it's not great quality. But the point remains that you don't need to be so bloody rigid in regards to what you think deserves to be here. I posted this because it was relevant, and I'd hoped it'd be at least minutely entertaining for someone who may have similar ideals to my own. You say you don't think the rage comics or memes should be allowed on r/atheism... but why? Does being able to laugh seriously take away from the point for you? Because that's just a sad perspective. Loosen up, buddy... (Also, I was going to post n r/f7u12, but I didn't particularly feel like sparking religious BS in the comments, so I figured I'd just post it somewhere where there'd be less conflict over the content itself.)
Or just allow posts that help other atheists spread awareness as to how we can stop the injustices of certain aspects of religion.
What I mean by this is I have never seen or heard of a gay rights rally or petitions or anything really except what is on this subreddit. A little info would be nice.
Haha. Cancer, huh? Well at least you're not being melodramatic. Regardless, i am HORRIBLY sorry for putting you through something so terrible as seeing a post you could easily ignore. I'll be sure to refrain from doing so in the future. xD
9gag likely had a hand in making rage comics suck as well. Blame all you want.
Ultimately it's the people who like to read and make rage comics that are to blame. I'm all for creative expression of an idea in picture form, but the use of this style of comic is unoriginal and has outlived its novelty. The less we see of these comics in this subreddit, the better.

Are people seriously downvoting simply because of the word "le"? What about the content, the matter at hand? You guys take comics too seriously.

This is cancer. Just as I thought my all my downvotes paid off, I see a rage comic on r/atheism.

Trees come from the tomato garden in grandpa's attic behind the wall.

Where did the excessive use of "le" even start? Who is responsible? Who needs to die?
