Talk about editing history....

Crap like this just shows that Bible-fundamentalists don't have a monopoly on ignorance.

[johaninsc]

[Kulindahr]

Same as above.

You should work harder, and find some that are actually funny.

Why are opinions sprung from ignorance "funny"?

[Kulindahr]

Cute.

[Kulindahr]

What's funny about pictures with no disagreement among them?

The competition is on for the most ignorant offering.

Kulindahr, the most revealing thing ever is your responses to this thread. You've never shied away from rebutting or debating pretty much any issue in the most finely-grained detail, with propositions and context and citations. But on this topic we see something different.

Poking fun at the hypocrisy we sometimes note within a religion seems fine to you, as long as you can read the premise of the cartoon as still being amenable to religion. But when the premise of the cartoon is actually on-topic; i.e. that religion represents a complete falsehood, you're falling back on just dismissively countermanding the cartoon with a denial.

It sounds something like this:

…and something like the sort of poster who typically just repeats the infallible slogans of his creed in a kind of catechism on infinite loop.

Humour has a way of getting to the point and laying bare some of the most basic and important ideas. I can't help but see an attempt to evade confronting head-on the insights offered in these cartoons.

[Kulindahr]

Tell me how that isn't designed to make atheists look like spoiled, ignorant bullies?

[johaninsc]

strike a nerve..?

You say that because you aren't paying attention. When the premise of the cartoon shows total ignorance of religion, especially the religion it's attacking, there's no humor, and I say so. It's like making jokes about Hoover Dam that are based on the premise that it's made of chocolate malt blocks -- there's no humor there at all, just absolute infantile ignorance.

"That religion represents a complete falsehood" is not a legitimate basis for jokes about religion, it's only a basis for self-congratulatory shallowness.

I don't care if something is "amenable to religion", I care if it actually has something to do with that religion. Many, if not most, of the "cartoons" in this thread by you and at least one other, are very Romeny-esque: based on deliberate misrepresentations. From such there can be no "insights" -- just as someone whose economic program is based on fantasy can offer nothing of value for helping exit a recession, so also with someone whose view of religion is a fantasy.

well...I thought they were funny

The competition is on for the most ignorant offering.

Well, for once [really? ], you are the one stupidly ignoring one of the best cartoons ever on this thread.

[belamo]

NOOOOOOOO! that means science would remain 500 yards-light from religious people and you would be giving them exactly what they want

[belamo]

Kul, your prob, like that of religious people, is that you can't tell the truths assumed to be under what you call Revelation from mere ritual.

[Jacquemar]

From the quotations, I think it is hilarious that these cartoons make some people so uneasy that they have to continually come to this thread and bitch about them.

I think that's excellent evidence of a job well done.

That's actually a pretty good flick. A "machine gun preacher" is a bit weird, though.

What's ignorant about pointing out that a cartoon is based on ignorance -- which it is?

[Kulindahr]

Kul, your prob, like that of religious people, is that you can't tell the truths assumed to be under what you call Revelation from mere ritual.

Huh? The "humor" in that "cartoon" is based on a faith position about the contents of the Bible: that it's supposed to conform to science. It's not funny; if anything it's a serious comment on the tragedy that so many atheists treat the Bible in the same ignorant manner as fundamentalists do, reading it literally and expecting it to be a science textbook.

So wise of you to give your approval to ignorance.

All too many of the "cartoons" here are on par with snide jokes about the periodic table because the people believe that the periodic table says there are only four elements.

time for another funny pic
