Baby’s first atheist meme.

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 22 points 1 day ago (1 children)

A man and his sons used archaic tools to build a mega structure seaworthy vessel much larger than any structure modern humans are capable of building, then put two of every animal (and millions of seeds) onboard, as well as enough food to feed all the animals for 1 year 10 days, and none of the animals died or killed each other and there was plenty of leftover room for newborn animals and the seeds were all fine despite not being stored using modern techniques and then after 1 year 10 days the animals just went on their way and the man and his sons traversed the entire planet planting all the seeds, which were totally still fine, in their appropriate climates and everything was fine and everything worked out.

It happened. For reals. Not believing so will force my invisible friend to damn you to an eternity of being burned alive. Sorry.

You missed out the bit, that the Bible deems important enough to mention, where, after doing all this, one of the sons fucks the dad when the dad was comatose drunk.

Your thinking about Lot and his daughters (I think)

Not to be confused with Noah who was 600 years old when the flood happened, and 950 years old when he died.

Nope. Wrong.

Do as I say or he will torture you.

You must worship him to protect yourself from what he will do to you if you dont.

“Come see the totem I wear of my dead god. He’s not really god he’s just the son of god. That we killed. We nailed his body to this stick. Now the stick is our symbol. Wear it around your neck to remember the murder weapon of our god”

[–] spicehoarder@lemmy.zip 6 points 21 hours ago

I have a fun little head canon that we actually weren't supposed to kill Jesus. And doing so was like humanity failing their final test. Like how Lot's wife got turned into a pillar of salt.

That's why nobody has ever seen or heard from god since, and why we're actually all in hell right now.

[–] PwnTra1n@lemmy.world 2 points 22 hours ago

Is there a “this machine kills Jesus” cross?

[–] SethTaylor@lemmy.world 3 points 20 hours ago

Dude, I was JUST ABOUT to go to sleep. I am literally in bed.

Christians aren't real, though, right? Christians can't hurt me, right?

Everyone who's still in the Trivializing Your Beliefs Via Tautology phase should be sent outside and grounded from owning trilbies till they hit 18

[–] Mulligrubs@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Ironically, you got your tautalogy mixed with their tautology.

WELL DONE

[–] Ghostie@lemmy.zip 2 points 22 hours ago

“Hey you got your tautologies in my tautologies!”

Crazy that I rewatched The Mandela Magazine last night and this post shows up next morning.

lmao, sometimes those people do feel like that.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago (2 children)

You spend enough time with New Atheists, and you very quickly discover why the movement tripped over its own dick and died back in the '00s.

Christopher Hitchens secularizing the invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan, Sam Harris secularizing Islamophobia, Richard Dawkins secularizing misogyny. Joel Osteen juice and crackers seem far more attractive than some greasy, hollow-eyed Objectivist preaching nihilism and genocide in the name of corporate profits.

[–] Krono@lemmy.today 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The leaders of the New Atheist movement are not heroes; they are certainly imperfect. I agree with all of your criticisms, but you say nothing of the bulk of their work.

Hitchens' God is Not Great will stand the test of time; his Islamophobia will not.

Dawkins' The God Delusion is still correct, despite his late-in-life transphobia and "cultural Christianity".

[–] Ghostie@lemmy.zip 1 points 23 hours ago

I hear Christians say the same exact thing regarding the people in the Bible.

[–] HazardousBanjo@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago (3 children)

At least in the US, younger generations are still increasingly nonreligious

If we take "atheism" to mean the vague "lack of belief in any deities", then atheism is still on the rise by a significant amount.

It is, however, a hilariously ironic notion that atheism fails where Christianity succeeds: being appropriated by the far-right to spread bigotry and fascism.

I guess there's a far bigger gap in intelligence between the atheists and the religious than the religious would ever be comfortable acknowledging.

I would argue that it’s not funny or ironic. The right is defined by their pursuit of consolidating power and authority at all costs. Anything and everything is a resource to exploited toward advancing their selfish misanthropic ends. They will appropriate anything and vilify what they can’t successfully appropriate. This isn’t irony, it’s a core tenet of rightism.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world -1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You'd never know it when you listen to YouTube Atheists talk. It's all the same reactionary clickbait bigotry we've come to expect from the Internet.

[–] BackgrndNoize@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Well how else will they get the algorithm to promote their videos

[–] krashmo@lemmy.world 0 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I tend to think that any conclusion that could be reasonably summarized as "I (or a group I belong to) am smart and everyone else is stupid" is not an opinion rooted in objectivity and is therefore very likely to be heavily biased.

[–] Ghostie@lemmy.zip 2 points 23 hours ago

Adding to that, to me it seems like they are projecting their insecurities when they posture that way.
