Where is that U Mad jpg when you need it?

Next up, Glenn Beck is mad at MLK for having a rally on the same day as him.

Is this news or just childish religion bashing? A blog is a better format for this kind of stuff.

Do you think there is mature religious bashing or do you just not like to hear religion get criticized?

 

[Vette73]

A new group of atheists has arisen in society. Called the new atheists, they are not content to keep their views to themselves.

You think the magazine linked to on the JW website is somehow fake?

I don't know what's true or not in this matter...but one things for sure, JW's have no right to complain, f'in door knockers!

Not me, and I find it ironic. I also find Dawkins to be

I think they're both silly

[Nemesis 1]

Ya I agree its funny . I can see it now . JW pounding on your door and you ans. Saying you mad you mad you mad You crazy mad. I loved playing with the JW. Invite them in and hit them with shit that just can't grasp in the bible.

I recall seeing comedy vidoes of door to door atheists going to Morman homes a few years back. Those always made me chuckle.

Them Morman still knock on my door on a regular basis, and now as soon as I see 2 teenagers with white shirt black pants with ties, I slam the door right away.

Them Jehovah's witnesses aren't any better either. They have a fellowship group nearby and they use my home as a training ground for those door knockers they are sending out.

Childish? Did you notice the quote?:

A new group of atheists has arisen in society. Called the new atheists, they are not content to keep their views to themselves.

They evidence such a phenomenal willfully ignorant arrogance. This is from a group that works very hard to proselytize, sending out hordes of their deluded little freaks to sew the seeds of stupidity.

First post, I came here to look at tech info and got my attention grabbed by this, I'm an idiot. This is my favored avatar :biggrin:, but here isn't the place. (I tried to spoiler, but didn't seem to work) Childish? Nope. I would think a highly technical forum wouldn't mind a little bashing of groups that deny science to its very core.

That's funny, but what's not funny is that if this actually happened IRL, religious people would be outraged. To them, any public expression of atheism is a form of "persecution" of religion. This is their excuse for the double standard - that they can speak and the atheist cannot. They are free to knock on people's doors and spew a bunch of smarmy horseshit, but if the atheists would even think about doing this, the uproar would be epic.

the hypocrisy is annoying, but it still would be a douche bag thing to go door to door trying to push your views on people

...in America.

In first world countries people who ACTUALLY believe there is a magical man who lives in the sky, are ridiculed.

My Prime Minster is an open atheist. Care factor from the Australian people? 0.

I was raised JW and am happily atheist now, but thankfully I never went door-to-door "preaching the gospel".
