Apparently some people finally figure it out...

Believers may not always listen to us, but sometimes they listen to themselves.





If the rest of you religious types could learn from this we atheists would be much happier. As would you.

Brilliant!

That's awesome!!!

Well there always seems to be a good reason why god doesn't answer prayers.

It's funny how the "Holy Land" is the place most notable in the world for endless violence, racism, oppression, all out war, poverty, poor living conditions, and widespread ignorance. I think that it is one of the most convincing pieces of evidence that not only is religion man made, it's bad for us.

Its hard to take this kind of thing seriously, because its exactly the same kind of parable that Christians use to show just how misguided those are that question their faith. Same setup, same pacing, same punchline delivery, just reversed.

It's funny, because it's true. . . but it's not funny, because it's fake.

That was hilarious. Is that true? It'd be funnier if it was

Sadly, I'm a sucker. A quick google search today showed this to be a joke, not real. Bagheera had it right.

Still funny though. And probably almost true, if only a few wall-praying Jews would come to their senses.

[Bagheera]

Yeah. We're only slightly more resistant to confirmation bias than theists are.

Sigh.

This is why I try to examine anything that too closely resembles what I believe, because its too easy to accept it as fact on face value.

This is probably the biggest benefit I have gained from this forum.  I question everything now.  I check facts.  It used to be... not so much.

A little voice in my head told me to check when i wrote the OP. I ignored it.

Right now it is telling me to eat ice cream. I can tell it is time to start listening...
