I just want to point out that this picture has 14,512 points. But then again, this is fucking 9gag, so we shouldn't get too upset.

I love Yellow's reply. No anger, no rebuttal, just a confused little "What a strange person" in response to Blue's outburst.

Oh my, so many things going on in this picture...
  • Again the whole "I let science determine my beliefs, not any phony God" arrogant bullshit
  • #VASTINTELLIGENCE
  • A selfie containing a variation of a quote that's been done a million times already
  • For extra points, the dude is quoting himself
  • And best of all, he's tweeting this to Richard Dawkins!

Man, what is it with euphorics quoting themselves? You're not as clever as you think you are, guys.

I think that they want to pretend that they are people who have done enough with their lives to be quoted
 
It sometimes amazes me how any scientific work Dawkins surely has done at one point in his life is completely eclipsed by him hating religious people. He became an "expert" in a field he absolutely has no expertise in nor seems to be willing to acquire it -- criticism of religion, which in his case boils down to: "the Bible describes events which are incompatible with modern science and the Old Testament god does things which are incompatible with modern morality, therefore religion suxx lol."
 
This thread reminded me of the episode of King of the Nerds when Penn Jillette was a guest, they where playing charades and he was somehow finding ways to let everyone know he was an Atheist.

Damn, that's true and honest fedora-grade atheism.

And @DykesDykesChina , regarding your musings on Dawkins, I would wager than narcissism is a factor in his relentless religion-bashing.

In all fairness, it's fucking King of the Nerds. I would be willing to bet they egged him to mention his atheism more than he usually does to try and generate some juicy drama or something. That said I could totally believe he just wanted to show off his atheism like a weird, cheetos encrusted trophy he got at Toys 'r us or something.

Of course I'm a tad biased since I'm a big fan of his, even if I don't always agree with the dude and his tendency to talk about (lack of) religion can be pretty fucking grating.
 
Yeah, I'm a fan of Penn too, but it was cringey/funny because someone said something like "Oh thank god." and he quickly went "There is no god." lol And the person wasn't saying it in a religious context even.

Oh okay, that's definitely fake as shit then. I can't remember him ever reaching straight-up wizard levels of euphoria, even if he's toed the line a couple times.

I feel it's probably because Penn is an entertainer above everything else, unlike Dawkins and Christopher Hitchens who are academics. Penn knows how to appeal to audiences, he knows better than to say something particularly controversial like "Jesus was literally Hitler".
 
Powerlvl'ing here, but Penn & Teller's Bullshit was one of the things that pushed me to become an edgy atheist in my early teens. Good thing social media wasn't as widely spread back then! I'd hate to be one of these assholes, grow the fuck out of my euphoric phase and realize there's several pictures of myself sporting a fedora and/neckbeard floating on the internet.
