Off topic, but who's that guy in your gif? Just hnnng. :P

Great comment :)

Out of interest, though, why do you think that true Christians follow the path of love and forgiveness? Sure, there's Jesus's pacifism, but there's also the Bible, which very explicitly commands people to do stuff that's somewhat different, and condones misogyny and homophobia among other things.

I'm afraid I have to agree to some extent.

What denomination was that, if you don't mind me asking? :)

All of them? Why? (I'm an agnostic, like going to church on occasion though). :)

That's so awful, sorry to hear that :( Not to badmouth your parents, though, but that sounds like such a dick thing to do. It wasn't your fault, how would you know they'd put him down when you were gone? *hugs*

That was also what I thought about! (the whole "does it make the writer look bad?" argument used for the Resurrection). :P

Obvious MRA troll masquerading as a woman is obvious. Don't feed it, guys/men whose jimmies have been rustled

IT'S MY DICK IN A BOX

Your username just fits this comment so well. XD

I also like ping pong and missionary. Gonna have to pass on the ham sandwiches, though.

More seriously, that's part of what I hate about a lot of religions. Incredibly intrusive, just can't fucking leave people be.

To discourage people from leaving?

Fuck that noise.

Less controversial - but, holy fuck, that should still be controversial.

Yep. Christian culture seems to be so anti-woman it makes me sick.

It would be so funny if they were referring to an alcohol problem :P /schadenfreude /dontmindifIdo

I want to star your comment, because it makes an interesting point, but what do you say to all the misogyny in the Bible, which is how people like Mark justify being asshats?

That is disgusting. The thing is, though, that sort of thing is rooted in Christianity itself and not just some crazy outlier pastor (Mark), because the Bible condones outright misogyny.

I agree with you that atheism definitely doesn't do half as much harm as Christianity has, though I don't think they were trying to argue that the two were exactly equal, only that atheism has its share of asshats too. That said, I wouldn't even say that your average atheist does as much harm to society as your…

I'd say that the asshole ratio would be about equal. Everyone has one, after all.
