Did i mention his name was XXCHRIST-SAVIORXX1999?


Ah. This applies then. No offense intended.

At first I thought your comic might be actually rational. Alas, no. It's one of those "holier less holy-than-thou" atheists.

"I have no religion and you shouldn't either. I'm an atheist, it's not just a different belief though, it makes me fucking special! It makes me smarter than you stone-age religious fools! Religion sucks! Why should anyone have any fundamental right to believe in religion? What kind of backwards douchebag would give them that? Never mind that that's the same right that lets me be an atheist. It only should apply in one direction! Everyone needs to be an atheist! Then we wouldn't have douchebags like Fred Phelps or bin Laden! After all, they're the only religious people on Earth."

The dude supports his premises well but they don't support his final conclusion, as he's lumping all religions together with the ones that impose their arbitrary morality on others.

For, in order that men should resist injustice, something more is necessary than that they should think injustice unpleasant. They must think injustice absurd; above all, they must think it startling. They must retain the violence of a virgin astonishment. When the pessimist looks at any infamy, it is to him, after all, only a repetition of the infamy of existence. But the optimist sees injustice as something discordant and unexpected, and it stings him into action.

Let's not get into this. I've got a million fun little pictures on my harddrive for just this arguement, and I'd rather not get banned over something like this. Let's just argee to disagree, and I'll remove the comic. :) I was hoping for a different macromeme religion image, but that's the one I found first. Poor judgement on my part.

Whenever SAVE TIBET people say china kills millions of tibetans daily, a smidge of my faith in humanity goes poof.
Yeahhh....the whole Tibetan thing is a very popular cause for beginning lefty activists to cut their teeth on. Which means you get a lot of people with good intentions and bad research. The reality is a lot more convoluted.

Go ahead and bump the theology topic and we can go mano mano. I like going devils advocate, especially on stuff I only half agree with in the first place.

Well it was a rant on all the crap, hate and ignorance religion causes. I didn't really see him trying to establish superiority at all, he was just mad that there are Christians who literally teach things like "condoms cause aids" and said it was obsolete. Probably not a discussion fit for a stupid thread.

Indeed. It was an ill-thought out post, let's move on to people being stupid, and not be stupid ourselves. :D

The same people who claim the US beat Germany, I'd guess...

I also find it funny how some people consider the bombing of Pearl Harbor some sort of "darkest hour" in history, and that it justified anything the US did to Japan. PH was a military site. Of course it'll be the target for an act of war!

As for those who say it was wrong to nuke Hiroshima and Nagasaki, they should also think again. Operation Downfall would have cost more lives on both sides. Less civilian casualties though, as Japan wouldn't have had non-combatants  ::) The US were even planning on using strategic nukes as tactical weapons. ‼Warfare‼ at it's finest!

I wouldn't know about that, Fatman and Little boy were kind of whats left of what they manufactured during that time so it would have taken another 6 months for them to make more bombs and then china and russia would have bumrushed into the islands.
