Biblically accurate Atheist...

[–] deacon@lemmy.world 19 points 3 days ago

Funnily early Christians had to defend themselves from accusations of atheism from their Pagan contemporaries because they only believed in the 1(3) God(s).

[–] SeductiveTortoise@piefed.social 8 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Answered to the wrong comment.

Guy is still less cringe than my fundamentalist parents. Probably less emotionally abusive too

[–] kandoh@reddthat.com 33 points 3 days ago (3 children)

We needed this type of guy in the internet ecosystem. We hunted them to extinction because they were cringe and annoying but they were all that was keeping the religious wackos at bay

[–] Fedizen@lemmy.world 11 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

Unfortunately when exposed to a girl they immediately convert to a christian fundamentalist because the only thing they hate more than religious zealots are girls. Its why so many of these guys thought jordan peterson was profound.

Protect this man (the OOP) from the wamons at all costs!!

/s

[–] RedAggroBest@lemmy.world 14 points 3 days ago (5 children)

Were they? They seemed to attract them more than repel them. Quickest way to turn 1 religious zealot into 20 was add one obnoxious internet atheist.

[–] KeenFlame@feddit.nu 7 points 2 days ago

Do the buzzer things that kill flies attract more flies because there are a lot of fly corpses around it?

[–] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

Only until Dawkins and others like Thunderfoot convinced them that Islam is a thousands times worse that the worst of christianity, then also the culture wars happened.

Even geek circles wanted to do the same "big tent" bullshit new atheists tried to pull when atheism+ happened, except it included actual christian fundamentalists. This lead to some new atheists welcoming them, due to the very heavy overlap of the two circles, which in turn even lead to them converting to conservative christianity.

[–] jamie_veal@feddit.org 3 points 2 days ago (3 children)

atheism+

So all in all they took modern satanism, gave it another label and managed to lure fundamentalists into this? Color me impressed.

Nah „sceptics“ were instrumental in starting the modern TERF movement. They’re as bad as the fundies.

[–] DylanMc6@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 2 days ago

I like Penn & Teller

[–] 4am@lemmy.zip 59 points 3 days ago (3 children)

I have the power of Penn Gillette and Anime on my side! BWAHHHHH

[–] the_crotch@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 day ago

This dude absolutely studied the blade

[–] tempest@lemmy.ca 13 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I have not seen Gillette in while ( he's not really my jam) and then I saw him in Marty supreme. He has lost a lot of weight and is also much older. Turns out time keeps on turning, who knew.

Anyway all that just to say that's a really old image of him.

[–] athatet@lemmy.zip 11 points 3 days ago

To be fair, this whole image is really old.

"in this moment, I am euphoric"

[–] SchwertImStein@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Who are the faces? I know Stephen Fry (top left) and Richard Dawkins (bottom right), but the other 2?

[–] LarsIsCool@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago (2 children)
[–] Gremour@lemmy.world 11 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Top right is Christopher Hitchens.

[–] Tattorack@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Hitchen's Razor is an incredible tool.

[–] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 39 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I wonder if he since became an anti-Islam tradcath convert...

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 12 points 3 days ago (2 children)

I don't see Sam Harris growing out of his face, but Christopher Hitchens is already a bad look.

Dude probably vapes like a fucking chimney

I am as atheist as it’s possible to be. I’ve never been even slightly religious and there’s no part of me that even vaguely believes in anything religious, supernatural, or superstitious.

I read The God Delusion and I found it extremely weak and unconvincing

[–] FatVegan@leminal.space 1 points 1 day ago

I grew up completely without religion. I only knew one family that went to church, ever. I feel like these books are weak, because i feel like they weren't made for me. I don't need to be convinced, i find religion so out there, it's like listening to someone who believes that Yu-Gi-Oh is real.

Thank you for your service

[–] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 1 points 2 days ago

It’s not exactly a life style choice is it? My experience was that you free yourself from useless crap you don’t need, and that’s it. Trying to persuade other people to follow your path is ultimately not fulfilling as you’re trying to reason someone out of an emotional decision, and it’s not your job to do that.

[–] CetaceanNeeded@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I thought God is Not Great was much better.

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

I haven’t read it, but I don’t find Hitchen’s argumentative style in other venues to be better than Dawkins’

And in this moment I am euphoric

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 5 points 2 days ago
[–] SeductiveTortoise@piefed.social 18 points 3 days ago

That's only fair, they keep citing some random ass goat herder from some millennia ago.

[–] HEXN3T@lemmy.blahaj.zone 12 points 3 days ago

We're a system and can't get this image out of our head now thanks 💀

[–] sentient_loom@sh.itjust.works 16 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I'm currently reading Lawrence Krauss' book "A Universe from Nothing", and in between the excellent descriptions of our ideas about the big bang and the evolution of the universe he's constantly sneering and lashing out against religion for absolutely no reason. There's no relevance for these outbursts at all, but there are 16 pages of preface raging against the idea that some people believe that the word "nothing" means "absolute nothingness" instead of "space" (which is truly an active thing) plus a whole Orwellian doublespeak chapter about how nothing is actually something.

[–] TheRealKuni@piefed.social 17 points 3 days ago (1 children)

That’s because Lawrence Krauss is an asshole. Also cancelled, and considered Epstein a dear friend. And willing to sell his soul to a deeply wacko evangelical publisher to bitch about woke culture.

[–] Grail@multiverse.soulism.net 16 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I've seen that video. He sexually harassed his students, faced professional consequences, and blamed it on Woke.

[–] TheRealKuni@piefed.social 11 points 3 days ago

There are very few YouTubers who make me giddy with excitement when they drop a 4 hour video. Shawn is one of them.

[–] AccoSpoot@lemmynsfw.com 1 points 2 days ago

2010s ass looking post

[–] tomiant@piefed.social 7 points 3 days ago

If this kid actually read a single book by any of those, I am willing to forgive everything.

[–] yermaw@sh.itjust.works 7 points 3 days ago (1 children)

By the same logic youre arguing against God, who is pretty infallible.
