I like how they act all educated and academic, but fail to grasp the meanings and context of ancient mythology. It's like their "put the Bible in the fiction section" stunt -- it is NOT fiction, from a literary standpoint, it is mythology. (And from a believer's standpoint, a holy text.)
It's like they're trying to offend the Christian audience rather than disprove them which is euphoric in its own way.
Indeed, and their credibility is pretty weak. If you believe there's nothing after you die, and the few years we have are literally all we get of existence, there are two possible endgames:
Oh, a teenager who has it all figured out. How unique.I'm going to assume that you are all familiar with the "In this moment I am euphoric" quote that has been bandied about the Internet to make fun of these enlightened academics for several years now. Shit, it inspired the title of this very thread.
Well, pictured below is none other than the original AA Lewis quote, plus an equally intellectual introduction:
It's the fucking "Eh?" that does it for me.
Also, an archived page of the comments on the original post. In a rare display of self-awareness, the r/atheism mods moved the post to the spam folder almost as soon as it was published, meaning that these comments are actually from r/cringe brigands who had it linked to their subreddit.
"Atheism saved my life. Without it, I'd still be alive, but..."
Ha, you actually expect them to know shit about any religion? Outside of the few bible passages they've memorized to mock Christians, they don't know shit about any other religion and usually write off any sort of faithful reference not made by Richard Dawkins to be a sign of low intelligence. They claim that they're intelligent, but they never make any attempt to really learn anything and will dismiss any information that doesn't support their hateful worldview. Them and those hateful zealous Christians they hate so much are really just two sides of the same coin.
Born again atheist.
But then they'll fire back that their not because they don't kill people in droves for not thinking like they do. Well I got two words that shoots that bullshit down. North Korea. If that's not enough, I got another two words. Soviet Union.
DRAT! People who don't like religion are having FUN with the concept, and not being a total dicksplat about it! THIS CANNOT BE ALLOWED, MATE!
The funny thing about Jediism is that it can be taken relatively seriously. It's influenced by Taoism and Zen as much as it is by Star Wars. It's non-theistic, but believes in a vitalistic "Force"
