Away With You, Foul Serpent!
I don’t get it? Or it’s just not funny?
It’s supposed to be like that Old Shice commercial, and nearly pulls it off. But the dude who made it, has never heard of interest curves, or what makes something fun(ny). I.e. he forgot the “punchline”, and only gets away with the chaotic absurdity, because it’s the point, since the commercial is also absurdly chaotic. Just that in the commercial, is serves as surprises, which is part of the sources of fun. And here it just feels random. Because the commercial had chaos with some structure behind it, and this doesn’t.
Is that enough?
)
Ah. never seen any commercials for Old Spice (living in Holland + never watching tv..)
BAReFOOt could have summed that up for you pretty fast by saying “I’m just full of shit”
did intolerance died?
Wow, d-bag much?
That’s the Old Spice commercial the comic ‘spoofs’.
Good idea, poor execution.
Same thing could be said when your mom created you.
Bet you he at least can tell you who his daddy was
ZING!
OH SNAP!
EPIC PWNAGE!
BAZINGA!
Whut?
Big Bang Theory. ’nuff said; if you haven’t seen it, you wouldn’t get it.
Insulting people’s deepest beliefs is never a good idea. This is just a senseless and immature attack on a religion. Whoever created this needs to go back to /b/ and beat up more 12 year old girls.
Have you seen the movie??? HE PLAYS GOD!….really well 2
I deeply believe other people’s beliefs are unbelievable.
It’s a comic strip… He’s not saying you’re stupid for believing God. Everyone has their right to an opinion and his is different than yours, just like millions of people around the world. So get over it.
Sure it is.
This is insulting to me.
Dude, lighten up. People take the piss out of stuff every day, and yet you can’t handle something like this, which to be honest isn’t even that insulting, just because it’s poking a little bit of fun at religion? Religion pokes more fun at itself on a daily basis than this comic does, and in my opinion it deserves a lot worse thrown at it than this. You think this is offensive, yet you probably sit around bagging out gays and Muslims and teenagers who have sex. Moron.
For the record, I thought it was funny.
I am now completely convinced that atheists are the majority on the internet. Hahahaha, finally we control something!
That’s cause it seems so many atheists like wasting their lives on the internet arguing about something they claim not to believe in.
There’s no need to be rude. And if your so offended, this is not your site. This is a comic strip and that was humor.
Yeah-that’s way more than enough. Can you say “subjective”? Sure you can…
I don’t get it either, and no, not funny.
YEah- it’s just not funny.
Really… really not funny. Was that suppose to be offensive?
no its not offensie. look up the freakin old spice commercials people. its freaking brilliant. why the heck are you taking something off of humorous website so personal? and yes morgan freeman plays god in a movie so the topic works. get over yourselves people.
I think this is brilliant. Nice take on the Old Spice commercials.
It’s good to see that SOMEONE on this thread has a sense of humor! This was great.
Well, I liked this comic. Some of you take things far too seriously and take every little thing as a deeply personal attack. Get over it.
…It WAS a deeply personal attack. Even if it was meant to be funny, all it’s doing is saying that people who believe in God are a bunch of headcases, and that Morgan Freeman > the deity that created everything.
No it’s commenting on everyone believing that God has to be an adult white male. Morgan Freeman played God in ‘Bruce Almighty’ and ‘Evan Almighty’, which are two popular films. This comic is using his roles in the film and merging them with the Old Spice comercial to entertain others. I hope you read this with Morgan Freeman’s voice in your head.
Morgan Freeman > the deity that created everything.
It’s a JOKE and a pretty funny take on the commercial. Did it say “3DSarge, God isn’t real and you shouldn’t have faith in Him”? NO! So grow up and if you don’t like it, don’t look at it!
actually yes, yes it did. if you re-read it, it says “but if he stopped being a nonexsistent figment of your imagination.” so yes, it absolutely states that God isn’t real. learning to read fail.
fail… not an epic fail, you’r not at that level yet.
At least Morgan Freeman exists.
Just like God.
What God? Zeus? Jupiter? Thor? Xochiquetzal? Ganesha? Allah?
Precisely. As an atheist, I go one god further. Exo does not seem to understand basic logic and rigor.
Or the flying spaghetti monster?
God will punish you for your lack of a sense of humor. Probably by making you watch his/her favorite movie – Bruce Almighty. FOREVER.
***scamper scamper scamper***
Both of those things are true…what’s the issue?
Today must be opposite day because that’s the only time someone of average intelligence could possibly think either of those things are true. Although I did say average intelligence so i’m probably overestimating you.
Agreed, made me laugh…
worst comic ever. It is supposed to be like the Old Spice commercial but it’s not funny. Plus mocks anyone that believes in God. Didn’t the author of this know that the largest religion in the world is Christianity?
not to mention two other big religions by the names of Islam and Judaism who also believes in (the same) God…
For some reason, no one ever makes fun of them. Maybe because a lot of the people practicing those live far away and are minorities, whereas Christianity is apparently practiced entirely by fat white Republicans.
“For some reason, no one ever makes fun of them.”
Are you stupid or something? Everyone makes fun of Islam and Judaism just as much as they do Christianity.
aaaaaaannnnd they’re all silly superstitions, aren’t they?
I laughed and I’m Islamic. Loosen up buddy lol. It’s hilarious.
Muslim**** damn you.
Sadly for them, Christians can no longer get away with burning, stoning, or otherwise punishing those who don’t agree with, or even oppose, their beliefs. No matter how many Christians there are, we live in the 21st century. It’s not like the author should be afraid of being jumped by disgruntled Christians when he goes out.
^ Win, good Sir.
I believe that is was in fact the Christians who were stoned and burned to death, as well as being fed to the lions in the Roman arena and not the other way around.
That said, this is the interwebz and if you don’t like what is up there, the red ‘x’ is right there, in the top corner of your screen.
Crusades. Child Molestation. You sir, lose.
Not all child molestation is done by Christians. You sir, lose so much you now have epic fail cancer.
Go tell that to the jews who were slaughtered, and then tell me that the christian accusation of “Deicide” had nothing to do with it.
Christianity is evil
Like no religious people were killed or imprisoned in communist nations in the last century for the sake of atheism.
You seem to be mixing up people who give Christianity a bad name, with the religion itself.
Actually, communist countries and dictatorships where the leader subscribes to atheism, is never about atheism. It’s always about the people worshiping the leader as God. People in Germany were replacing the Bible in churches with Mein Kamf. That isn’t replacing a religion with atheism, that’s replacing a religion with another religion.
fail, the church should have been replaced completly after the war, they just didn’t “close” it for the reason that the people here in germany should be motivated and not to desperated about the victims of ww2
And like with the bible, hardly anybody really read ‘Mein Kampf’ to see what lunatic the autor was.
(At least Goebbles was excommunicated. Wait, that was for marrying a divorced protestant. Oh well.)
That’s because the bible was not written by lunatics. And FYI the bible wasn’t just written by one person. Trying to educate trolls before it’s too late.
Thanks for pointing that out. I am truely flabbergasted; all these years in church, all these books, and I never knew… You mean it is a book, written by generations of desert-dwelling humans only?
There are so many absurd things and thoughts in both testaments (and the koran, for that matter), you would need a deeply twisted intellect to really believe that. Not to mention this god’s abhorrent blood thirst: sacrifice of children, genocide, rape, plundering, slavery, death penalties for cursing your parents, adultery, homosexuals, blasphemy… The authors of all this were sane?
Sometimes accusations are just cloaks put on by bigotry.
I smell a religious flamewar coming on!
I believe it already came…all over this thread.
I am not Chtistian.
You are dumb.
They see me prayin’
They hatin’
Trollin’
I like how everyone thinks they can say whatever they want about Christianity just because they are the majority. So you’re saying that everyone who is a Christian is stupid and evil just because of what some European douchebags did 900 years ago? You know what, you are just the worst type of person. For any other religion or race stereotyping like this would be considered racist and off limits, and just because Christianity has all the white republicans as part of it it’s ok to say we are all evil. F*ck you.
No, they can say whatever they want about Christianity because of FREEDOM OF SPEECH.
Deal with it.
so he can’t reply and defend his opinion? haha.. jerk
I don’t *think* I can say whatever I want about Xtianity, I *know* I can. Personally, I think we should find you all an island somewhere, move you out there with all the Muslims, Jews, and Mormons (freaks) and let you battle it out there while the rest of the world actually makes progress. Whoever wins gets to keep the island and devolve into drooling, text-book burning, doctor killing zombies and then we can nuke the island.
Actually, because atheist make up less than 10% of the world, you should get your own island.
Best. Island. EVER.
Yeah. Any island where you don’t have to think is automatically the best island ever.
404 error. Citation not found.
I’ll choose to sit here with my Muslim buddies and laugh at you guys.
Right, because Christianity started being models of morality 899 years ago. I suppose you’ve been ignoring all the controversy surrounding the child molestation by the priests.
Just sayin’.
religion is evil but it does not matter evilness > morgan freeman
What if ur on AOL? Then the ‘X’ is blue. jk i actually luv this comment, u have an exellent point, good 4 u! and might i add, ZING!
oh how i love people who don’t study up on religion before they insult it! crack open the bible once or twice… you may learn something!
Yah, I learned the worst fiction story on earth wasn’t Twilight. I also learned that according to christiannity and Judaïsm, it is acceptable to sell your daughter for sexual slavery, kill your neighboor if he’s working on sunday, or stone a perfectly fine gentleman for saying the name of “god” in vain.
I also learned that the mere fact of thinking about something is the exact same thing as doing that thing, which to me looks like a great way to tell people what they should or not think (maybe religion doesn’t know what freedom of thought is, after all).
^
*highfive*
Exactly!
Now I’m not saying I hate Christianity, I was raised Lutheran. I just think people should know what they’re endorsing and endorse all of it. That’s why I am currently of no specific relligion. If you claim to be a certain religion, you should like all of the religion you practice and follow all of its rules. Therefore, if you are a Christian, by definition you are against gays, against all other religions, think that its alright to disobey the 10 Commandments if somebody else breaks one of them. I mean really? Christianity has some of the stupidest rules…
Christianity isn’t fiction my good troll. I’d say fail, but seeing as you are an atheist it would be redundant.
Referring to the Bible. Grats to your ability to read.
You have not properly proven your assumption. Until you prove that your god exists, please do not attempt to make arguments based upon his existence.
Wah wah wah. The person who made this supposedly ripped on Christianity. Do you want a shoulder to cry on? Crybaby
Could you be anymore uptight?
CAKE OR DEATH?
DEATH. the cake is a LIE.
^win^
Do you know Islam is the largest religion in the world. Not Christianity
AFAIK Islam is the fastest growing religion in the world and is set to overtake Christianity in the coming years (I think ten).
I am not mistaken CHristianity is still a little bigger than Islam, however It is definitley going to change (stagnating birthrates in the developed more Christian world, coupled with very high birthrates in the developing and semi-developed world where there is a larger Muslim population.)
Words on the Internet that might offend people? Well now, we can’t have THAT!
+1
all hail the lord of sarcasm!
serious though give razzle your immortal soul or I will stone you to death.
I believe in God, but I also believe in Morgan Freeman, and I love this. I love Mustangs too.
Um, no. That would be Islam. Plus, who cares if someone wants to mock religion? It’s cleary not a pure troll effort, more of a work that parodies the old spice commercial and plays on Morgan Freeman’s role in the____ Almighty movies.
So what you’re saying is, most of the people on the internet don’t belong on the internet?
I see no problem with this statement.
Actually the largest religion in the world is pastafarianism. Most practitioners don’t even realize that they are practicing it but most likely if you are alive you will have the truth of the true lord through your subconscious knowledge of pastafarianism though seek answers through other religions that are in fact then words of his almighty noodlyness. Ramen
Ramen
Wait. Are you saying that most people are believing in the true lord or are you saying most people are Pastafarians? Because those two things are basically exact opposites. I’d make fun of you for being a pastafarian, but last time I made fun of someone like you they banned me from the special olympics.
Hey, I believe in god, I don’t take this offensively I think its funny. Maybe some of you idiots should not take everything so seriously.
The largest populated religion on the planet is Hinduism and all forms of it. Get your facts straight. There’s only about 1.3 billion Christians. Interesting how there’s another 5.7+ billion people who don’t believe in the Christian holy book.
false they are in an area where that is required to confess hinduism or you will be persecuted or publicly shamed
As opposed to the US where you are never publicly shamed, shunned by family, or risk your chances of employment by being non-Christian. Oh, wait . . . .
Hey, but at least this is the first time I’ve seen the “no true Hindu” fallacy.
Fail. In America you can’t lose your job because of your religion.
Exo, the comments you’ve posted here have convinced me; not only have you proved god, you’ve shown what loving intelligent people all Christians are. Where do I sign up?
Wait, what’s a troll?
For however long that’s going to last. There were religions before Christianity, and there will be religions after. This is humor so get over yourself, you sound like an idiot. People can and will make fun of everything. You think Gods can’t laugh at themselves.
How can you know a lie? It’s like saying I know Obama isn’t president.
We can prove that Obama is president. There is an abundance of evidence. However, that is not so for your god. If you have evidence, please present it.
And did you know that if Scientology had been created at the time Christianity was, and if Christianity had been created when Scientology was, Scientology would be one of the biggest religions around and Christianity would be rediculed for being absolutely absurd.
Love it!
Me too!
Everyone knows a black man can’t be God.
an asian can?
If you’ve seen the movie where he plays god the other guys says that…he then turns into a white guy, then a girl, and then states hes god and can do whatever he freaken wants
But it’s Morgan Freeman we’re talking about.
God is actually a platypus (and a very ugly one at that…). And apparently the Mormons were right. That’s right, the correct answer was: Mormons.
lol @ LAJen thats from south park, and I though the comic was funny and im muslim
> Didn’t the author of this know that the largest disease in the world is Christianity?
There. Fixed that for ya.
Scientifically, religion is a disease from the family of delusional schizophrenia. Anyone who falls for it, needs a therapy, or deserves to be mocked.
Speaking of disease….
YOU stay classy there.
stop forcing your beliefs on other people, both of you. that disgusting that you try to insult some ones opinions and thoughts, you should be ashamed of yourself.
Oh my, you’re just sooooo cool. I can totally see how a serious mental illness can be transfered via words and text.
> Didn’t the author of this know that the largest disease in the world is intolerance?
Double Fix FTW
It seems to be an all too common fallacy that intolerance of an idea or opinion is anywhere close to intolerance of a person or group. People are equal, ideas are not. Intolerance of people is considered bigotry because one has no control over one’s race, gender, orientation, etc. We do, however, have full control over what we choose to believe or disbelieve.
So I look forward to the “funny” comic mocking your beliefs. Since by your logic, it’s okay, we can put up comics condemning atheists as idiots in denial and mock any beliefs they have.
Including the very unscientific one that we supposedly cannot choose who we want to sleep with, bogus science behind it or not.
Basically, this isn’t humor. This is bigotry. I hope this excellent site refrains from this in the future. I don’t come here for politics.
You can’t mock atheists’ “beliefs” because they don’t HAVE “beliefs.” (At least not a standard set.) They simply DON’T believe in a god/s. That is the extent of the definition of athiest, the whole thing. Sorry to disappoint.
This comic IS humor. But speaking of bigotry, nice gratuitous gay-bashing there. I’m sure your god is proud of you.
Sure they do. To suggest otherwise is absurd.
Religion is a set of beliefs as to what exactly exists beyond the natural (thus, what is the supernatural). An atheist’s belief is that there is nothing. To suggest that isn’t a belief would actually make it okay to mock people based on that, which I’m sure you wouldn’t like.
Of course, then you follow this nonsense with the hilarious idea that implying that people do have a choice in their orientation is “gay bashing”. The way I see it, I’m implying that gay people have a choice in their actions, like sentient creatures do. You are implying they have none, like animals. Hence, you are the gay basher (also the straight basher, but c’est la vie.)
Honestly, here’s what the deal is with the comic: If panel 4 was just left as “Now back to me…” and did not include the bigotry, it’d be funny. The bigotry adds nothing to the comic and is just a “Christians suck, f’nar f’nar” moment that Atheists would be screaming about being directed at them (and homosexuals definitely would given the ridiculous “basing” accusation above)
But I suppose the author set up to rile people up, and hey, mission accomplished. I just thought our mission here was supposed to be being funny.
Saying atheism is a belief is like saying bald is a hair colour.
Atheism could be viewed as the belief that there is no God
It depends on the brand of atheism. The specific belief that there is no God is more anti-theism, really. I’d dare to say that stating that one knows there is no God requires as much faith as stating one knows there is one, both being equally unscientific. God is not a falsifiable concept, and cannot be directly proven or disproven, at least by any current means.
Personally, I believe that there could be, I’ve simply seen nothing to support the idea. I have nothing against faith, and grew up going to church, so I know that many Christians are essentially decent people whether or not I agree with their beliefs (a concept many theists and atheists don’t seem to be able to grasp). It’s just that, to me, when presented with a lack of evidence, lack of belief is the more logical choice.
So, in my case at least, it’s a lack of belief, rather than the presence of a belief. If somehow presented with evidence, I would be open to being convinced.
You all need to learn the difference between Atheism and Agnosticism. Atheism is the _belief_ that there is _no_ God. Agnosticism is the _belief_ that you cannot _know_ if there is a God.
It is a distinction without a difference.
When we can not know something, we normally disbelieve it. I can not know that there is or is not a neon-green eagle sitting on my roof — anything is possible — but without a reason to believe, I do not. Call it “a-green-eagle-ism” if you wish. Why is God (or one god of many) a special case?
that’s just plain stupid… god is the search for an answer to many people, a green eagle is just nothing
I’m agnostic, so I don’t worry about it. I can still be a good person. You shouldn’t need a reason to be good.
OK, then if what you say is true, then I can say atheists need to grow up, get over themselves and accept that God exists.
BY YOUR STANDARDS, it’s okay because there’s no belief there to be mocked. And yet I’ll bet you’ll say that’s unacceptable because it goes against your BELIEF.
Atheism isn’t like saying bald is a hair color, it’s like saying white is a hair color. Which it is.
And everything you didn’t respond to there, I’ll just assume you’re admitting I’m correct. Thanks.
I assume we’re both from free countries which serve free speech. You are free to mock atheists to your heart’s desire.
You’re also constructing a straw man argument by putting words into the mouths of atheists by claiming they would cry and be offended if someone made fun of them.
Seeing as how there appears to be a negative correlation between religiosity and sense of humor I am not worried at all over theists who attempt to mock atheists.
While you’re making fun of atheists, why not write a clever joke about people who’s hobby is not collecting stamps.
I happen to be a non stamp collector and I can assure you I won’t be offended.
I can’t believe that this is the first use of the that analogy.
wrong nobody said that it was OK by our standards!
Saying atheism is a belief is like saying not collecting stamps is a hobby.
“choose who we want to sleep with”
To me, that implies desire, not action. Gaybasher.
I’m curious, was the name an intentional reference?
Yes, a reference to your name, because I was insufficiently creative to come up with my own in my haste to join the debate. Sorry. It won’t outlive the thread.
Dan’s Clone,
Technically, Boffo’s right. Gays CAN choose who they sleep with. Andy could choose if he wants to sleep with Frank, or Brian, or Steve, or Paul, or…
Actually, the belief that we have no power over anything we do (basically, determinism) has some grounds in science and is a pretty well respected philosophical belief, whereas religion is not.
As a Christian, I tip my hat to you. You have actually taken time to think things out; which is more than can be said for most Atheists, Agnostics, or even Christians.
You ask for incontrovertible evidence for the existence of God. I will be the first to admit that I do not have that luxury, at least in the way you desire it. You also freely admit that there is no evidence against the existence of God.
In the face of these truths, the only solution left is to make an assumption that either God exists, or God does not exist and draw both possibilities to their logical conclusions. It’s not quite as effective a proof as empirical evidence, but it will have to do for now.
So let’s look at the two scenarios, then examine the evidence that each creates.
If there is a God, He would have (for whatever reason) created the universe from nothing. He would have the power to do so, simply because He is God. Therefore, everything that you see is created from nothing, through the creative power of God.
If there is no God, the universe would have had to come from somewhere. The Big Bang theory assumes either the pre-existence of matter, or the immediate creation of matter at the time of the blast. Even the Intelligent Design folks have come up with “space aliens,” because Marvin the Martian is an easier concept to swallow than an infinite God.
So where did the pre-existing matter (or space aliens for that matter) come from? What evidence do we have that matter pre-existed before the existence of the Universe as we know it?
“But Zibeb,” you say, “That’s fine and all, but where did God come from?”
I wrote a short post on this a few months ago. You can check my name link for my original blog post, but let me repost it here.
“In all discussions of the origin of life, the question seems to always arise; “Where did your (insert thing here) come from?”
IDers want to know where the “cosmic soup” came from. Big Bang theorists want to know where God came from. In all arguments where such questions occur, the argued logic is called “Causality.” Essentially, for every effect, there is a cause that made that effect come about. Therefore, there must be a master “Cause” that started the chain of Cause and Effect that built the universe. That chain could be through the mechanism of Evolution, or that chain could be through the mechanism of the creation of all matter through supernatural power.
Unfortunately for the BB group, the Big Bang Theory does not explain the “master Cause” that made the original matter exist. As far as they are concerned, “At first there was nothing, and then it exploded.” IDers must answer the same question, though. By what mechanism did God come to be? Where did God come from?
If I were to ask you when you were “created,” you would state your birthday or sometime 9 months before that. I would say “May 5, 1990″ or sometime 9 months before that. For anything to exist, it must have had a specific point in time when it was created. The electronic device that you are reading this from had a creation date. The earth has a “creation” date, whether or not you believe in Intelligent Design or the Big Bang. So how does this factor into the origin of God? It redefines the question. The question is no longer “Where did God come from?” it is “When did God come into existence?”
Colossians 1:15-17 says “He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For by him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created by him and for him. He is before all things, and in him all things hold together.” God’s pre-emininence is one of the biggest things that makes Him God. What does that mean specifically in reference to this question?
God created time.
So how does this answer the question? It removes causality completely. There was no “point in time” where God was created, so either He exists, or He doesn’t. If God doesn’t exist, there is no mechanism for the rest of the world to exist. If God exists, then everything that exists, exists. Everything that exists just so happens to exist. Therefore, God exists. It is the only answer to the question of the existence of everything that works. Otherwise Causality crushes the theory completely.
And there you have it, the evidence for the existence of a Creator… is you.”
This is so stupid.
you lose your soul to the abyss of ignorance for that, I don’t have to do anything, you are already in it.
(all hail razzle)
That was thoughtful.
I think, though, that your argument hinges on the unacceptability of an infinite regress in causation, which is not necessarily truly unacceptable. Those physicists who speculate on the pre-big-bang period don’t say there was then “nothing,” but rather a singularity: everything contained in a point. And before that there may have been a complete universe that crushed down to a singularity, or another universe that “budded” this one, or simply the singularity on its own. They are not upset by the corrolary: that there is no point of creation, no “first mover,” because there is no need for one. The universe has always been.
The truth is, your argument for God’s creation of time and causation amounts to the same thing: there was something (God) existing before the beginning of known and knowable causal chains which is itself (him/herself) not subject to causation.
Thought-provoking, but we’re not here to debate the existence of God. We’re just here to look at stupid comics. Move on.
If it’s just mental mastvrbation to you, why are you watching?
I’m in Dan’s clone camp. lack of evidence leads to my position as an atheist. But I had to ask a question, since it’s not often you can see rational conversation amongst the noise ( as can be seen all around these comments). My question is this, as a Christian doesn’t it bother you that the Jews & Christians of the bible had miracles around them on a daily basis, while modern Christians are expected to survive on faith?
… and I realise that modern Christians argue that the rising of the sun, the cosmos, etc are miracles enough, but my point is that versus Lot’s wife turning to salt, the loaves and fishes, let alone Jesus’ resurrection the type of miracle is quite different.
I’m not trying to be argumentative, but the discussion above regarding proof is interesting to me. If I was a disciple and had miracles performed around me on a daily basis, I suspect I’d believe. doesn’t it seem unfair (assuming that God exists) that he holds you to a much higher standard than he does the disciples?
tl;dr
You are using passages from a book which has authority because it is your god’s word- to prove that god exists. Circular reasoning.
That is a logical fallacy, please don’t do that.
The other fallacy is a special pleading. Where did your god come from? Without answering that, you have to grounds to claim that infinite regress is the wrong answer.
I hope you weren’t expecting me to read that.
TL:DR
Sorry, My previous comment was direct at that moron Barefoot. My bad.
I smell a butthurt atheist.
I cannot believe how incredibly stupid you are. I mean rock-hard stupid. Dehydrated-rock-hard stupid. Stupid so stupid that it goes way beyond the stupid we know into a whole different dimension of stupid. You are trans-stupid stupid. Meta-stupid. Stupid collapsed on itself so far that even the neutrons have collapsed. Stupid gotten so dense that no intellect can escape. Singularity stupid. Blazing hot mid-day sun on Mercury stupid. You emit more stupid in one second than our entire galaxy emits in a year. Quasar stupid. Nothing in our universe can really be this stupid. Perhaps this is some primordial fragment from the original big bang of stupid. Some pure essence of a stupid so uncontaminated by anything else as to be beyond the laws of physics that we know.
Oh look, a troll.
This rant on stupidity is priceless, so I’m going to borrow it because I’m too stupid to think this all up myself.
BURN!!!!!!!!!!!!
you called him stupid
It’s not a desiese, it’s desperation.
Think about it. After death, Christianity and other religions of it’s ilk tell us we will assend to a paradise in the sky. Atheism tells us that you just end and fall into oblivion forever, kinda like getting knocked unconscious and never waking up. Not a lot of people can face the latter, so they accept the former.
Personally, the forum thread which put this idea into my head caused an exenstential crisis within me, and I have choosen to cope by tackling life head on, doing as much as humanly possible, and assuming that whatever lies after death will be much more bizarre and wonderful then we could possibly imagine.
True atheism, in my view, embraces not a specific view, but the idea that we don’t know, that we seek to try to know, to try to understand, and simply seeks real answers grounded in science instead of easy explanations based on superstition. It’s not so much that atheism says (though in truth, there’s at least as many different views on atheism as there are sect of Christianity, so it rings a little false to try to represent them all) you simply end as it is that it rejects current assumptions.
That said, I have to applaud the choice of being an active participant in life, for whatever reason.
No, that’s being agnostic.
Secret-H, you are mistaken. Please learn what atheism and agnosticism actually refer to: http://atheism.about.com/od/aboutagnosticism/a/atheism.htm
No, YOU need a punch in the face, you intolerant douchebag.
Perhaps the same could be said of all religions…but enough talk have at you.
You’re horrendously intolerant. You should go to a Hitler worship website, because you’re just as bad as him, except you have no power, and are probably a 12-year-old bully who hates everything he comes in contact with.
Way to be intolerant.
other than asdf who is the virtual manifestation of tolerance and all that is good in this world, we can all see she is probably the fairy princess offspring of mother teresa and jesus, totally.
Hateful bigot is hateful.
This. Is. Amazing.
This comic is now diamonds!
I LOVE THIS ONE, and the jokes about christianity don’t phase me at all, because I look past them so I can actually get some enjoyment out of the comic
and if you don’t get the joke, its that Morgan freeman played god in two movies, Bruce almighty & Evan almighty.
YES YES FINALY SOMEONE WHO KNOWS THOSE MOVIES!!! guys its not a slam on god or jesus or whatever you worship its a take on the movies…
Thank you for enjoying the comic and not killing it with religious rants!
Epic win.
Probably the worst comic i have ever seen.
Look down at your legs, now back at the screen. You’re so uptight you just shit diamonds.
I APPROVE OF THE ABOVE COMMENT.
The diamonds are now a horse.
I own a horse. Now it’s diamonds- SWEET!
This is fucking ridiculous. This is also fucking awesome. Just… bravo.
how can you all be that bigott? ROFL
I’m an agnostic and I can’t stop laughing at this comic, hilarious
being an atheist i can’t stop laughing
i may not believe in God, but Morgan Freeman is as close as we’re going to get to God for he has proven that he exists
I’m agnostic too, and I thought it was pretty funny….my ultra-religious friend might hate me for it, but he claims he doesn’t hate people, the hypocrite. I love the Old Spice commercials!
How has Morgan Freeman proven his existence to you? All you’ve seen are images. Have you ever met him in person?
Win. Atheists will reject the proof for God cause they claim it doesn’t count, but if that exact same kind of proof applies to something they believe in it is automatically real.
This picture is now diamonds, and so what everyone, chill, everyone has their own beliefs, i’m a christian and I thought this shit was hilarious
Wtf you are talking people? It is most epic comix I ever have seen. Well maybe it’s because I loved that comercial lol .
This is amazing
Panel 3 is gonna bring out a lot of touchy people though… Touchy, deluded people…
So you think it’s going to bring out atheists?
No, I think he means you.
OMG!!! I belly LOL’D, If you didn’t like it fine, but I think it’s the best one yet!!!!!!! AND at no point does this person mock anyone. If he is an atheist, then he can settle that score with God when he meets him, other wise this is some funny shit!! Plus, Why are you bringing up Christianity? He doesn’t mention it. As I understand it, most religions believe in God. What? Christianity is the only religion? You damn racists are just pissed because Morgan Freeman is black!!!
to the person that made this:
Right-click on “Mauser”, select ‘ignore spelling”
fixed.
At the same time, kudos to the creator for correctly identifying the weapon.
first one in a while to make me laugh out loud
Idea was good, but next time, don’t make it in paint, and don’t leave the misspelling red underline in.
Also, a word on the Christian thing. I’m an Atheist. I don’t believe in God, or that Jesus was the son of God, and so forth. That doesn’t mean I go around telling them that God is a figment of their imagination. Belief in God helps some people, regardless of what I believe. Just because I think God doesn’t exist, it does not give me the right to go and troll all religions on the internet, or feel superior to anyone based on what they believe.
Remember kids, being militant about your belief system makes you as bad as those to whom you feel superior.
Final thought: Comic idea was good, but the shitty editting, and the whole “preaching intolerance” ruined it for me.
+1 internets
Fucking religion! MAKING MY LIFE EASIER AND SHIT! FUCKIN MAKING SHIT EASIER TO DEAL WITH!
it’s just making it easier if you truly belief ^^
+2 Internets.
You good sir, are a perfect Atheist. Well said. +3 internets
Too many ‘atheists’ are hypocritical creatures. Not saying Christians aren’t bad at it as well, I’m just tired of so called atheists and their apparent ‘we’re better than you’ bullshit.
Yeah…I hate when atheists think they’re smarter than people just because they don’t believe in anything…that irks me more than the Baptists around me shoving their religion down my throat, which basically hates on everyone that isn’t Baptist. I mean, I’m agnostic, so I do believe in some god, but I don’t go around yelling that I don’t know which one is right, so don’t think you’re better than me just because you think you do.
Im only atheist becuase i dont give a shit…
I’m a Christian, and honestly, I hate pretty much a lot of Christians. There was a book. “I’m fine with God, it’s Christians I can’t stand” And I agreed. Yes Jesus says go and make disciples, but he does not say: Go and shove your beliefs down peoples throats, you are better than them, and if they don’t agree, they are demons from hell.
+1 internets for you too
Yup, that’s pretty much how people are around here! Gotta love those Southern Baptists…>.>
Oops, meant for that to be @Onasariel, sorry!
God exists, grow up and get over yourself.
God doesn’t exist, grow up and get over yourself.
Wow lying and telling someone to grow up. Way to be mature there.
Telling people to “grow up” and mindlessly agree with your views? What a bastion of maturity you are.
Blue just won a internet.
(mario sound) 1-up
nuke her from orbit. do the world a service.
Gee, another christfag, comment boxes are good ways to express opinions over light humour! It doesn’t express any form of insecurity!
Wow calling Christians christfans. You sure are a mature atheist aren’t you?
Wow calling Christians bad names. You sure are a mature atheist aren’t you?
This comic is pretty awesome. I’m a christian and I like it.
And thank you Whap, that was well said. I think atheists at times don’t realize they are just as bad as those who try to push their beliefs on others or condemn them for their beliefs.
If anyone is wondering, it was made by SLDeviant from Reddit:
http://www.reddit.com/r/funny/comments/csdp6/look_at_your_god_with_credit_to_calvinnesbit/
This one was a good idea in theory but it would’ve been funnier if he tried to just make it about Morgan Freeman playing god in Bruce Almighty instead of trying to hate on christians. Tying Freeman to the Oldspice guy is the only funny thing about it.
On the other hand, you whiner christians need to get over it, this is very tame as far as theological bashing goes. Stop taking it so hard. Jeez.
now THIS is awesome!
This is great!
Where does it say anything about Christianity in any of it? It uses recognized pictures of God to convey a point, not poke fun at a specific religion.
Re-read foo…
The piont you are trying to make is like me screaming out that I hate people that aren’t white. and then when a bunch of black people come up to me all angry like. I say “I didn’t say black people specifically”
Well now the atheist trolling is more than pouring through the cracks in the filters, aren’t they? Hire some decent employees for filtering through this shit ffs.
This would be funnier without the “figment of your imagination” bit someone felt the need to shoehorn in. If the joke revolves around God existing–if even just for the purposes of the joke–then going “BTW God doesn’t exist LOL” kinda wrecks the whole deal. It’d be like watching an episode of Star Trek where the bad guys shoot mass drivers at the Enterprise from several light-seconds away, instantly vaporizing it, in that it makes both Star Trek and this comic a lot less fun.
HINT: This wasn’t made by someone at Comixed. it was made by some dude on DeviantArt, before floating around on /b/ and then someone submitted it.
tldr try again
Wow, this website makes it so blatantly obvious that the authors are either atheist, agnostic, or non-religious at all.
It’s all good if that’s what they believe, but there really is no need to bash other people’s beliefs.
Not really…just because they post this doesn’t mean they are atheist, agnostic, or non-religious in any way. It means they thought this was funny, which anybody with a religion AND sense of humor can do. They’re not personally bashing anything, they’re just posting what others submitted.
Also, for all of those flaming people for complaining about the bigotry as “uptight”, you are just as uptight for your complaints.
But while I can respect atheists who are respectful of others beliefs, double standards and hypocrisy are pretty par for the course for Internet Jerk Atheists.
They’d be the first ones screaming at a comic mocking atheists as idiots in denial.
You really hope others are as bad as you are, don’t you?
“What’s the biggest problem for an atheist? No one to talk to during sex.”
“Why did the atheist cross the road? He thought there was a sidewalk on the other side, but he wouldn’t believe it until he had tested the hypothesis.”
“Knock Knock.”
Atheist: “who’s there?”
“God.”
Atheist: “who?”
“God.”
Atheist: “who?”
“God.”
Atheist: “must be the wind.”
Yes, I am an atheist. And god-botherers are still dumb.
Thanks for proving his point. Atheists in real life might be tame, but you guys are nothing but trolls online.
This is great. Love it.
Anything is possible except for turning the grammar check off. (and using comic sans… come on, really?)
Brilliant!
awesome!… i´m in a mustang
he is also batman techguy
Never seen the Old Spice commercial. Thought this comic was awesome as a batshit insane interpretation of Morgan Freeman.
My imaginary friend is better than yours, and he says this is funny. Now do it his way, or you burn for eternity.
Think about it. It must be true, because it is written in here that it is true.
To all you people who are just bickering between religion and Atheism, I say this:
Deaths caused directly due to religion: 10,000,000 and counting
Deaths caused directly due to Atheists: Maybe 20.
Do the math people, religion, of every flavor hurts more than having no religion.
Really? Do the names Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge mean anything to you? Lenin and the Bolshevik revolution? Stalin and his purges? Mao and the great Chinese Cultural Revolution? Those were not religious men leading religions.
Try again.
They did not kill in the name of atheism, they killed to extend their power.
Also, religion doesn’t kill. Cultures that take religion too seriously kill. Ignorance and intolerance kill.
Why do you think that there are no genocides in the US, Britain or any other remotely secular country where religion is involved? Because that culture frowns upon killing for religion.
Religion is a tool, a method to kill.
Granted, they did not kill in the name of atheism, but if we’re going down that road of conversation, a number of deaths attributed to religion have just been advancing someone or another’s agenda, with the label of the religion haphazardly slapped on.
Actually, there really is no account of Stalin being an atheist. Some historians claim he was a closet atheist while at the seminary, but others say he was pretty religious. And he did reopen a lot of Russia’s churches during WWII.
I’m not too sure about the others, except that Pol Pot was an atheist. But either way, you’re confusing Communism with Atheism, or you’re saying that the former cannot exist without the latter, and both of those are incorrect.
But let’s say we do include all of those…I don’t think that’ll even add up to the number of people killed by due to religion
Did they commit their atrocious acts because they were atheists though? Is there an atheist dogma which tells you to kill certain people? Were they murderous dictators who did what they did because of their atheism, or were they murderous dictators who happened to be atheists?
didn’t you know, those don’t count. Only things that happened thousands of years ago count.
‘Anti-theists’ need to realize that no one is perfect. No matter the religion, or lack thereof, people kill people. Some, and I stress some, atheists are just so caught up in being against theism that they forget that very important point.
Oh and the maybe 20? That is easily one of the stupidest things I have ever read on the internetzzz
replace “due to atheists” with “due to atheism” and the second try will be much more successful. After all, those guys didn’t murder because they were atheists, but because they were nasty buggers who wanted to eliminate rival powers within the state.
OH LAWDS someone on the internet who actually knows things. END OF THE WORLD RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!
Actualy there troops never screamed “FOR ATHEISM!!!” as they killed people. they said for the goverment if anything, and that gov was communists aka its there fault, not the lack of religion.
Wow. Stalin doesn’t count. He went to seminary school to become a priest before getting caught up in the bolshevik revolution.
Sounds like a reputable source we have here. Thanks internet!
I’d just like to point out the giant assumption that everyone seems to be making in this thread. Namely, that if one does not worship the God of the Abrahamic religions that one is non-religious. The world is full of other religions that have nothing to do with the Christian/Jewish/Muslim conception of deity, people. Keep that in mind.
I don’t recall seeing anybody implying or assuming that at all. I do, however, notice that no other religions have been mentioned, simply because their deities/beliefs weren’t “bashed” in this comic. In other words, mentioning those religions would be irrelevant.
when i was a kid, i wanted to be a minister, so it was ironic that the years of religious study and education are what made me an atheist. the more i learned, the less i believed, and it didn’t help that all i got in answer to all of my questions was a lot of circular arguments which boiled down to just so much “because we said so”…it took years of crime and general godless debauchery for me to finally get my head straight
Why so many negatives? This is freaking awesome!
In regards to the little bickering. I hate how black and white everything is. I’m an Atheist. To me, it is the absence of religion. I especially agree with the analogy someone mentioned. “Saying atheism is a religion is like saying baldness is a hair color.”
It’s true because for the most part, atheists, in the deepest sense, believed that religion shouldn’t exist. My little brother, who is 12, even explained it quite well to me. “I’m not an atheist. There shouldn’t even be a word for it. Why should I need a certain title that is viewed as a belief to tell people that I don’t believe? It makes no sense.”
I mean, with you Christians. How many of you honestly agree with every last thing the bible says? Evolution is taught to Christians, and they believe it. So are they still Christians? The answer is yes, they are if they wish to be. Even though by textbook definition, they are not. The terms don’t mean exactly what they are defined as.
In conclusion, atheism doesn’t have to be a belief.
You sir, have won a internet
CNN did an article recently about the growing trend of Spiritual But Not Religious. Although it sounds a little bit like worshiping crystals and talking to psychic friends, I’ve found identifying myself as SBNR to be the most accurate description.
I can’t say I’m atheist because that requires stating that God does not exist. Similarly, I can’t say I’m religious because it requires stating that God DOES exist. I am content with the knowledge that I have no idea whether or not God exists because I have no evidence of existence or irrefutable proof of lack thereof.
But I AM pretty sure the major religions have been so corrupted by the machinations of man that if there IS a God, modern religion is nowhere close to what He (or She or It) originally conceived. So I live my life as best as I can. I give to charity. I help my friends. I’m an adrenaline junkie (because hey, if this is all we get, I’m living it up!). And I find things here and there (like sitting on mountain tops or completing the towers of Hanoi) that bring me peace.
I think my only real definable “belief” is that I don’t have a set of religious beliefs.
In the words of Daniel Tosh “I’m not religious, but I’m spiritual. I like to reply with, Well I’m not honest but you’re interesting.”
Ugh….people, I don’t care what religion you are, I was raised not to downplay on other’s religions, but seriously, just laugh at the joke! It’s supposed to be funny! It’s not like they’re threatening you or anything…if it makes you feel bad, don’t read it! >.> Jeez, people annoy me sometimes…
Unfortunately you have to read something to know if it makes you feel bad.
Okay, okay, I see the logic hole there, lol…I meant to stop reading after it’s already offended you, because chances are, the consequences are worse….like reading the comic and then the comments. I mean, I did that, but I’m not easily offended or uptight about religion. :p
Um, do you live in holes under rocks? religions are made fun of daily yet PLEASE TAKE IT UPON YOURSELF to take a paned comic, that mimics a commercial and MAKE IT ABOUT RELIGION and not about the joke, I mean WHERE WOULD I BE IF YOU DIDN’T INSTRUCT ME HOW WRONG THIS MANS HUMOR IS. I found it funny, just because it references a funny commercial and there is actually more thought into this than at first glance. WELL DONE.
EVERYONE!
Shut the the hell up.
You guys are some piece of work if you are offended by this. I for one laughed like a madman at this comic.
Agreed, then again the comments are ALWAYS as chaotic as this
STOP SHOUTING EVERYONE YOU’RE GIVING THE CHILDREN NIGHTMARES!
The comments in here are either Christians being offended, intelligent people trying to make sense, but in the end, most of them are overwhelmed by trolls making “Stupid Christians/Religions” ad hominem arguments.
Oh, get over yourselves.
If you’re offended by something someone posts on the Internet you should probably just leave.
Religious people: Get over it and get used to being offended.
Atheist people: Have your lulz and sit comfortably in your belief that there is absolutely nothing that is possibly beyond the infallibility of human logic and comprehension, and there never will be. Because we are smartest beings on our planet, and with our unlimited knowledge, there is nothing out there that defies our abilities to explain or understand. I mean, it’s not like our brainpower has any limits, or anything.
Oh, wait.
Nice strawman there. Build it yourself?
Hehe. Nice.
It has been an honour being your clone on this thread, sir. I picked a winner.
bunch of nimrods on this thread. This was fantastic. Very funny.
I’m going to ignore the religious flame-war, because really my two cents are this: This comic is so funny I think i will be laughing all the way into next week.
Isn’t this page supposed to contain 4 panel comics? It’s just tiring to watch these comics with more than 4 panels, since almost all of them contain unnecessary pictures or dialogue, and this one had too much of everything; therefore it is not funny
I find it kind of funny that the Christians laugh at comics about dead people and make fun of everyone else, but when a guy makes a comic about god, they freak out. Calm down, it’s a parody.
religion is part of their life as much as breakfast for many
This is the most awesome post on any Cheezburger site ever from the dawn of time to the end of the universe.
Actually it is not only a Mauser C96 semi-auto, it is a Mauser C96 with Modul 712, thus “Reihenfeuer”(full auto) is possible too.
Greetings from Germany
You’ve got to be freaking kidding me, right? It’s a satirical. A joke. It’s for the lulz!! Anyone taking this seriously enough to write a thesis paper on a website part of the “cheezburger network” needs to step outside and throw a ball. Seriously.
The bulk of the comments above file under TL;DR (whoever doesn’t know that one, look it up), so I’m just gonna assume that most of the hate is because the creator used what appears to be a pic from Wanted.
Then again, anyone writing that much about religious arguments is probably only trying to cater to a target audience who actually cares enough to read that much about religious arguments, and really doesn’t care about this or any other atheistic spectator.
did you vote for obama? be honest
Wow i had no idea i was so powerful
my god isnt morgan freeman.. my god is gordon freeman
Did anyone else read this with Freeman’s voice narrating in their heads?
if you’re not laughing, there is a religious stick up your butt.
I enjoyed the comic and the Old Spice referencing. But the sheer ignorance of the point that this comic is putting across ruins it. I’ll never look at The Man Your Man Could Smell Like the same way again. :`( (PS. Morgan Freeman is awesome!)
trollface.jpg
My god is the Flying Spaghetti Monster, so your argument is invalid.
I think the comix is very funny, if it wasnt for the line “nonxexistent figment of your imagination”. Was that really necessary? People attacking Christianity always seem to forget that atheism is a belief just as well. Plus instead of looking at the actual message of Christianity, they look at a small part of so called Christians, who give all other Christians a bad name. Try looking at all the Christians who do their best to love their neighbours, and do their best to live their life as well as possible before you hate.
I don’t understand why so many people seem to think atheism is a belief system. There are no tenets of atheism, no required reading, and no mass meetings. I call myself an atheist because I don’t have faith in Krishna, Odin, Angra Mainyu, Allah, Pele, Camulos, Buddha, Yaweh, Zeus, or any other god or gods, and I don’t see a distinction between them. I don’t believe in them in the same way I don’t believe in werewolves or fairies – From my life experience and my knowledge of the way the world works, I see no evidence that they exist. You don’t call the disbelief in fairies a religious belief, and the same applies to a disbelief in God. Religion itself, in my eyes, isn’t a good or a bad thing – it’s just something I don’t have. I think it’s hard for people who do believe in something they can’t see to accept that there are people out there that don’t have that kind of faith, but here I am, and there are millions just like me.
natural disasters created Odin, Zeus, roman, and greek gods. a volcano eruption meant that Hephaestus was pissed at your king, an eagle hit by lightning meant that Zeus doesn,t favor you, and a arrow from Cupid made Paris sleep with Helen “of” Troy so its not his fault Troy was food for rats
“nonexistent figment of your imagination”
if you are subconsciously looking for something to be offended by, this phrase will offend you.
this nonexistent figment of one’s imagination could also be that deep-seated inflexible idea of what god would look like, what characteristics one would expect god to have, etc.
so you can sit there and rage, and view it as an attack on god.. or you can see it as a reminder to stop holding on to that rigid classification, and open your f***ing eyes, because god could be anyone
Morgan Freeman does not express a belief in God. His stance resembles and may be that of an atheist. This comic was amusing.
http://bluejaysway.wordpress.com/2010/06/02/morgan-freeman-atheist/
ITT – A bunch of people that don’t find this funny because they’re Christians and have a need to defend their religion against everything including harmless humor.
True dat. -.-
Have any of you ever read the first testament? It’s disgusting, for example, 3) More Murder Rape and Pillage (Deuteronomy 20:10-14)
As you approach a town to attack it, first offer its people terms for peace. If they accept your terms and open the gates to you, then all the people inside will serve you in forced labor. But if they refuse to make peace and prepare to fight, you must attack the town. When the LORD your God hands it over to you, kill every man in the town. But you may keep for yourselves all the women, children, livestock, and other plunder. You may enjoy the spoils of your enemies that the LORD your God has given you.
What kind of God approves of murder, rape, and slavery?
Just sayin.
Oh, God, and gods, and spaghetti monster…and cthulu (etc.) help these poor internet trolls. God, basically at some point not to live by the bible word for word. So Christians (like me), be open-minded. Accept the fact you may be wrong, even if you think you’re right. Accept it, this is funny, or at least its pictures of Morgan Freeman. One last point, Bible – written by man, edited by man.
Right because if someone made a comix about atheists trying to enter the special olympics and the judge turning them down telling them they aren’t smart enough i’m sure you’d laugh.
As the great Flying Spaghetti Monster once said; rAmen!
Pretty good quote, but I prefer Scooby Doo over the FSM. He’s a much better imaginary character.
I really dont care if you belive differently than me, but you dont go and attack a religion. intolerence starts wars.
I found this comic funny. To all you uptight Christians – shame on you, you need to shut your traps and admit there’s no proof.
To all the Christians who found it funny – kudos, you got past the realm of hate and moved into the this-is-a-reference-to-the-Almighty-movies realm.
I’m personally Agnostic. I follow the morals of Christianity put find no reasonable reason to believe in a god, other than false hope for something impossible to know.
You sir, have won a religious flamewar.
The author of this comic also has no proof that God is a figment of our imagination. So by your logic he should shut his trap. Unless you are going to use the special pleading fallacy.
How did you get more than 5 panels?
I follow the belief of everyone-just-do-your-own-thing-and-leave-others-alone. Why is it when something is about religion all hell breaks out? O.o This is a place of lols, not of heavy debate. D:
yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
i enjoy the fact that this thread starts as people liking or being offended and then by the bottom of the page it becomes a religious/political debate. people have waaaay too much time on there hands…
These issues are of literally ultimate importance. I just think this place is the wrong setting for this. But once someone leaves a controversial comment, then people feel forced to reply as if this comment thread actually mattered. Who walked away with their mind changed? All these epic debates on the internet aren’t even battles, they’re just little skirmishes. They all happen the same way; people fight and nothing changes. These commenters obviously refuse to concede their beliefs to an anonymous person. If they really want to get deep in this subject, they should debate with friends and aquaintances. Then someones’s actually listening and you don’t have disruptive trolls dancing through the conversation.
*Huff* *huff* ok, I’ve vented. All better.
Without a doubt the greatest Vertical Comic in the history of the Interwebs.
Be proud.
I guess he forgot to drink his PRUNE JUICE!
I’m a Christian,I thought it was funny,but the “nonexistent figment of your imagination” part was just unnecessary,it wasn’t about lulz,that was a personal attack on theists.
I don’t see why atheists are allowed to get away with blatant sectarianism and intolerance on a constant basis,yet when a religion does it you’re all over it like flies on shit….
As a Christian, you think that Ganesh, the Hundu god with four arms and an elephant head, is a nonexistant figment of imagination. Should you not be allowed to say so? Why should that be intolerant?
The thing is that Christians are mature and nice enough not to say it to people’s faces. You could really learn a thing or two.
So you do think that Ganesha is a nonexistant figment of imagination, but you would be too polite to say so?
Then again, that would include not to say that you are a christian. Because as a christian, you believe that all other gods are nonexistant figments of imagination.
Hey, we don’t have to do that, you guys kind of do it to each other, and your selves. I reference the current religious wars in the middle east, the Westboro Baptist Church, and millions of other religious intolerances you theist guys fling around like s**t from a monkeys butt, we can’t help but be flies. So we aren’t allowed to make fun of you? How is it any different from anything Christians and anyone else does? On top of that, what Rosemary said.
Personally, I thought this was funny. I read the “nonexistent figment of your imagination” more as a comment on the rigid belief of what God must look like (typically, white older male), and not “OMG GUIZ! TOTALLY DOESN’T EXIST FOR ANYONE EVERZ!!!”. But apparently a lot of other folks did.
For the record, I’m agnostic. I was raised Methodist and as I grew older and away from that faith, I explored a number of other faiths.
In the end, I came to the conclusion that while it is possible that there is a higher power, as a human being, my mind is not complex enough to be able to fully grasp and/or understand it. As such, I also believe that I do not have the ability to define and thus limit this unknown higher power by naming or attempting to describe it. Hence, I cannot, in good faith, be a part of any religion which does so.
Folks are free to follow whichever faith (or lack there of) they chose to. Folks are free to choice _not_ to follow whichever faith (or lack there of) as well. The faith (or lack there of) which guides a person’s life is between that person and their faith (or lack there of).
However, if you’re going to stand up and paint a big-ass target on yourself by claiming that any of those three statements are false, then you’d better expect to walk away with egg (or far less pleasant things) on your face.
I want Morgan Freeman to be my god.
I vote we put all athiests on a deserted island and tell them that they are in a free for all (to the death) and the winner gets tom cruise.
I doubt even the atheists want Tom Cruise. They might fight to the death to be the one who _doesn’t_ get him…
I vote we put all theists on a deserted island and tell them that they are in a free for all (to the death) and the winner gets Tom Cruise.
You see how it feels? Hurtful no matter how you put it. So shut up. D: No body wants Tom Cruise.
Why did people rate this down so much? It’s hilarious!
If Morgan Freeman was God, I’d become religious.
I’ll only believe in him when he stops using Comic Sans.
I read every comment in this thread, which in itself, is sad. Those of you that went on and on and on about christian beliefs forgot one thing… you can do whatever you want, ask for forgiveness and POOF, you’re back in the club. This means you can actually laugh at your religion (especially in this context), then be immediately forgiven for even thinking that this is funny. It also means you can rape, pillage, murder and yes, even take your lord’s name in vain moments before the slate is wiped clean… which begs the question “If I jump off a building, then ask for forgiveness on the way down, will I get into heaven after I spread myself over a half-block radius of downtown New York?” The answer is YES! Of course you will! I think you just have to pray really really fast.
Those of you who made asses of yourselves – thanks. I seriously enjoyed it.
Those of you who didn’t freak out and get all religious – you’re my kind of people and I’d like to subscribe to your newsletters. It’s a shame Loretta doesn’t allow white literature in our household….
Oh and yes, this was kinda funny. Not hilarious or anything, but semi-humorous, yes. I’m not saying that because I believe a specific way, but I am saying that because I know funny when I see it. Like that guy that ranted about people being stupid – seriously unfunny. However, LAJen’s was truly funny, even if she did have to steal it from South Park.
Thank you. I like to see people like you commenting on things like this
But, just one thing (and I’m kinda nitpicking) but you misused the phrase “beg the question.”
I swear I’m not a grammar Nazi, that one’s just a pet peeve of mine
Morgan Freeman is in the comic… this renders all your arguments invalid.
My god is Haruhi. I win.
+2 Internets.
Your Excellency Haruhi thanks you
BAZZING! My new god is Morgan Freeman, although him and the invisible pink unicorn are going to have to battle for dominance, it will be the genesis of my new Bible. D: Which means Peter Gabriel and sadly Phil Collins will both have to be involved. Peter will be riding the unicorn, which means Morgan will have to ride Phil. Yeah, makes just about as much sense and yet is a million times more entertaining.
AMEN!
WIN
If God was real, he’d be chuckling at the strip, but would probably be ROFLMAOing at all these comments

So ok, not a christian, not a anything for that matter, atheist included.
This is beyond unfunny. COULD have been good, wasn’t.
Just because it bashes a religion, doesn’t make it bad.

Are people not allowed to have an opinion anymore? Does everyone in the world have to believe in God? If it said something about Islam, people wouldn’t be complaining. It’s a really clever comic, parodying the Old Spice ad and at least it’s more original than most tenso/CSI/Twilight/Bieber comix? Stop taking offense to everything, Christians.
Right because we all know if there was a comic saying atheists weren’t smart enough for the special olympics you’d really enjoy it.
Believe me, we could take it.
Hey – how about if you tried it out to see for yourself? Go ahead!
(Sits back, grabs the cookies and looks forward to a really witty comic about atheists being not smart enough for the special olympics.)
You, my friend, are very intelligent. Thankyou for posting this.
Thank you. Beautifully said.
Ehm I have no god.
