Funny anti-religious Internet pics

Does LEGO really make all those Bible pieces?

I believe the guy that runs the site makes the pieces he needs if LEGO doesn’t have what is called for. LEGO does have a lot to work with though including religious pieces.

I think you have difficulties with fallacies. There is no more reason to believe in Jesus than Santa. The Santa pic is perfectly logical. Your belief in Santa, er, I mean Jesus, is based purely on faith. There are some ancient documents by some unknown authors making some exceptional claims and you believe it not because of evidence, but because of faith. You have faith in Jesus, just like children have faith in Santa.

The comparison is made that adults are about Jesus like they are about Santa. That's false on the face of it: it's rare to find an adult who tells kids there's a Santa who actually believes it, while it's rare to find an adults who tells his kids about Jesus who doesn't believe it.

Epic fail, twice -- once by the poster, second by you.

Further, I know no no one who trusts and relies on Santa with confidence, which is what "faith" means in the Bible, while I know plenty who trust and rely on Jesus with confidence.

Epic fail, again -- you throw words around without knowing what they mean.

[Kulindahr]

Except it's a verifiable fact that Darwin didn't say we descended from monkeys.

As for Jesus, we can't even verify he was a real person. He probably was, but it's certainly not verifiable fact. Again, you're relying on faith and faith alone. What Jesus did and didn't say is even more questionable. Certainly, Jesus, being 30-something years old, must have said more than what was just quoted of him in the gospel. And then assuming Jesus had supernatural powers and was the son of god is being plain silly.

Yes -- because what you just said is that I am trusting and relying on Jesus with confidence.

Another fail: there's no "assuming" here; there's assessing the evidence, meeting the Person, and putting trust in Him.


BTW, it's also a verifiable fact that the Bible doesn't say a lot of the things that are claimed. Hearing all those claims is what drove me to study Greek and then Hebrew and Aramaic: I wanted to find out what was really being said. Of course I found out there was a lot more to it than that....

[Kulindahr]

That's not humorous -- it's maddeningly tragic.

You met Jesus? Many people of faith believe they met their god(s). That's how they know their god is the real god and all the other gods are fake. LOL.

Point is, adults lie. Jesus isn't real. Santa isn't real. They're mythical characters may have once been based on real people, but that's about it. The fact that most adults don't believe in Santa and some adults believe in Jesus was beside the point the picture was trying to make.

The only criteria for whether or not you think any of these pics are fallacies is based simply on whether or not they challenge your particular chosen faith-based belief system.

That lie is tiresome.

[StarCrasher]

That lie is tiresome.

What lie, that you have no evidence?

You don't. It's true. There are only unverifiable and unlikely stories written by superstitious people in a time when people named Jesus and messiahs/prophets were a dime a dozen.

It's not called "faith" for nothing.

[Kulindahr]

It's not called "faith" for nothing.

Right -- it's called faith because it's trust based on incomplete evidence.

He was called "Joshua/Yeshua", actually: he was Jewish Cf#392

There is evidence for divinity.

Note that "evidence" represents tangible things & events, or credible records of them, that remain. "Divinity" is a theory that purports to explain that evidence.

I'd say it's as good a theory as any, except I am not convinced it is the best theory or even equally good. I think that there are other explanations for the accounts, records and artifacts, which are much more convincing than the theory of divinity.

[johaninsc]

Divinity!!

You mean you turned it into a lie.

Give a listen:


FORA.tv - Karen Armstrong: What is Religion?

That's awesome!

Except the Cross was a wee bit bigger than that stick.

Like the nutters who re-enact the crucifixion?

People re-enact all sorts of things (including, believe it or not, the Kennedy assassination ).

If you're going to do it, do it right. I saw one once by some guys at OSU -- they'd gotten a mill-roughed six-by eight, meaning it was actually six by eight inches, rough, with splinters and all, one six feet, the other ten, and lashed them together before spiking it together. The first guy to try it was a varsity OSU wrestler; he got "fired" right away because he just shouldered it, lifted the whole thing off the ground, and walked.

Of course, odds are Jesus only carried the cross-piece, although that's arguable.

The real humor there is the total failure to understand the Cross.

I laughed for a moment when I saw it, but then felt sad for the person who came up with it.

You are talking about Royal Nonesuchs there? Sort of like the Karen "speech" on the link above...

The sadder truth is that that is just the same sort of witty pseudojustification that Christian lifestylers can use to demean the rest of the world, like with the Noah joke above.

Nice. But a guy labeled "politics" should be hanging in the background, trying to get War's attention.

Religion is just War's favorite because it's so easy for the lower-echelon preachers to excite/incite the lower-level masses.

[pat grimshaw]

I'm agnostic so I think this so-called 'funny thread' is rather lame.

I'm guessing many posters here are angry lapsed Christians.

Nah. Don't sweat it, it simply was as crappy and lame as the average Christian lifestyler or the philosophical-ish-ist one: hence my posting it.
However, I must add, for your own private enlightenment, that politics uses ideology to rouse the rabbles, which is just the fruit from the same blooming tree of religion. Then, when the fruit rots, as we are experiencing right now, the time is ripe *hyperstupidlamepun* for the cycle to start over.

Wow, wouldn't that be a perfect definition for an agnostic...

... an atheist being some sort of raging fallen Christian (since they are easier to find, at least vocally, in a Christianized culture) .

I agree. I was too lazy to crop it out. Mi scusi, mi scusi.

Okay, back to funny stuff.

I understand that cartoon to be tongue-in-cheek. In my view the author is knowingly satirising a caricature of the christian myth, rather than satirizing the myth itself. I don't for a second think the author fails to understand "the Cross"; I think the author merely finds it irrelevant.

"Slacker" is a good source for something like that, since mostly it demonstrates ignorance.

I really do feel sorry for people who are actually making fun of themselves.

1) I'm an agnostic and I started this thread.

2) Yes it is funny, except to humorless twats and uber-religious nutters.

3) This thread isn't just making fun of Christianity, but every religion.

4) There is a wide range of people represented here, at least by JUB standards.

Why are you always such a tool, Pat? There was a time when I thought you were a cool guy but I've witnessed you post so much nonsense I can't help but to change my mind.

How is Jesus not Santa Claus for adults? And how are they making fun of themselves? They're making fun of believers in Jesus, which is why it has you miffed. Your supposed fallacies for the other pic don't apply here. The only thing you can say here is "but Jesus is real and Santa isn't." Again, evidence, smevidence.

[StarCrasher]

Poor Epicurus failed because of his own intellectual limitations.

Or you fail to understand him because of yours? Just a thought.
