Funny anti-religious Internet pics

Excellent illustration of why so many people see evolution as a religion.

Norse mythology rocks.

Especially when seen through the show Stargate SG-1.

False equivalency based on ignorance. The Bible has gobs of verifiable facts, while even the Greeks generally understood the stories about their gods to be fictional.

Its odd that small truths are used to make big claims for instance the veracity of one God as opposed to another.

It was to Greek society's credit that atheists were making more progress against their myths, and that more people were able to follow their arguments far enough to come to that understanding. Christendom was indeed a step back.

Thank you for posting this!!! I did read about the Horus myth (in Lewis Spence's Ancient Egyptian Myths and Legends and George Hart's Legendary Past: Egyptian Myths) and I saw some striking similarities (especially regarding the defeat of Set by the Savior Horus) but not those specifically mentioned in that chart. I can say that Spence said that at one point the Osiris myth was fused with the Horus myths... perhaps that's where the idea of the death and resurrection of Horus came from.

If you read some serious articles, it quickly becomes evident that most of the claims about Horus on that chart are specious.

It's odd that people read things into statements that they want to see rather than reading what's there. It's also odd how many times atheists have to rely on lies to try to make a point.

Damn, it's not the same.

Going back to your statement about the bible having gobs of 'verifiable facts', does that not allow also for untruths or lies therein?

Modern Christianity and religions in general, if it's not the whole warts and all, it really is a pic'n'mix bag, even with so called "scholarship". Westboro Baptist Church pretty much nails it when they say heed all the stuff in the bible or else. Its a repressive thought control tool, or a happy religion if you just ignore the bits you don't like (you know the more enlightened free thinking) see above re Satan, post#1653

Religion is never about facts, verifiable or not: you just believe or, at least, simply accept.

Talking about the pope, he's resigning his Petrine ministry.

It seems to me remarkably sophisticated that the Greeks generally understood the stories about their gods to be fictional and had them anyway. If so they were a step ahead of us, divided into warring camps of factualists.

You've stated elsewhere that you regard the resurrection of christ as a fact. In a ritual setting this makes perfect sense. In a non-ritual setting, there are simpler and more rational accounts of the event. Our era bars movement between the two settings. We ought to be more Greek about these things; as our ritual dimension faces eclipse.

This thread, and everything about it is awesome.

Consider all the adversity society has faced in the name of religion (a MAN MADE, tax exempt, money making machine) and now consider how and why we as a society rarely call out organized religion and are requested to tailor OUR lives, livelihood, and policy for organized religion and treating it as sacred.

I believe the agnostic and athiesm community: we need to start forming our own vocal communities, and being less apologetic about not being part of the mind controlling pyramid that is religion.
