Should've been GTA XVI.

Now you, too, can relive the glory that was /r/atheism before the mod change.

I had planned to spend the time productively, curse you! Not in the biblical way mind.
For real though, many laughs.

I'd love to play a GTA game where you're Brian Blessed.

You could even punch the Dalai Lama! (Actually happened)

You should have heaps of fun with this site. Both articles and comments.

Oh boy. Wow. That's just scary, the way they refer to white people as bueatiful, and the black people as ugly.

The link doesn't work for me.

Probably blocked for obvious reasons, wherever you are.

Things like that make me wonder how sites like this get left alone, while other things constantly get attacked because of "copyrights" and other such nonsense.

WTF, what is wrong with people that run sites like these?

I guess it could be my ISP who blocked it then. I mean, they are the ones who blocked TPB, but that had a specialised page informing you of why they were forced into blocking it by the government trying to control what they don't understand.
This doesn't have anything though. It's as if the website just doesn't exist.

Someone on Tumblr praising Brave:

#they actually showed a pretty accurate representation of how witches truly are not terrible people and it’s just their lifestyle. #i really really really loved that fact

None of those things are accurate about real witches because there are no real witches. Witches were not good people because witches were not people because witches do not exist. I know you want to praise this more positive female role that would traditionally be viewed negatively, but pretending witches and wizards are real is not the way to go about that.

I really try to avoid reading any paragraph that's made up entirely of hashtags because I know it will be stupid. I don't know why I read this one.

Please don't insult Wicca just because you do not share their worldview.

The difference here, methinks, is that the "witch" from Brave was a semi-new twist on an old stereotype, which has nothing to do with reality, only storytelling. Furthermore, none of the Wiccans, pagans, or new age wooers actually believed that they could perform magic as seen in fiction. They do rituals, sure, and they believe that they hold some foggy, fairly undetermined sway over reality, but none of them are brewing potions to turn you into a bear. If that were the case, I would like a dozen, please. I will become the most bearest bear of all time.

tl;dr: Chill, bro. No one brought anyone's religion into this.

Yeah I realized almost immediately that what I say was pretty stupid.

Can we please redact this or something?

Now I don't want to offend here, as an atheist I see pretty much all faiths on even footing. If you believe there is something sacred about pointed, wide brimmed hats then at least they are far more useful than that thing the pope wears, but still...
If I were saying believing that because in a video game a priest has certain mythical powers that doesn't mean in real life the christian church has special magical powers, nobody would bat an eye. It would be a sane and rational comment. So why is pointing out that there is a difference between witches in fictitious media and the beliefs of real life wiccans is offensive?

In real life there are not priests who run about healing people with glowing hands. It just doesn't happen, it is fictional, they don't exist, and you understand that I'm talking about a different thing to clergymen right? Well it is the same deal. Not all Witches are of the wiccan verity.
