What a moronic tool....

There's a whole lot of batshiat crazy in that first page.

Why does the NRO hate America?

What's with All of The Random capitalization? Between that and the Odd Conversational tone, I can't get Past the first Paragraph.

Christianity has been taking a beating for years now, with one tony atheist tome after another rolling off the presses - and still no end in sight.

Yeah, Christianity has really been taking a beating, all right. I mean, it's not like every single past U.S. President, and every single serious candidate this year, has claimed to be a Christian or anything--everyone knows that only atheists, plus the occasional Jew or Moooslim, can get themselves elected to office and run this country.

Anyone who calls me a "Bright" to my face had best have a fully payed up dental plan.

This woman is a hoople.

Cyberluddite: Yeah, Christianity has really been taking a beating, all right.

"Taking a beating" apparently means questioning the logic and proof of extraordinary claims. Not unquestioningly following is the same as attacking, it would seem.

As opposed to religion, which LOVES giving women equal rights.

I don't care if Mary Eberstadt believes in God or not. I just want her to take a farking writing class. Her writing is alternately unintelligent and incoherent and sometimes both.

 
BillCo [TotalFark] 2008-06-20 02:03:04 PM  
So this is going to be the Friday train wreck thread. I wondered when it was going to pop up.

OK guys, we need the train wreck picture and cue the troll to suggest that atheism is a religion.

/it is you know.

I didn't understand a word of that. I think it was anti-atheist but it's so very badly written so who knows?

I won't take it personally if You think I'm inferior (that's Minderwertigkeit in Deutsch!) I'm just curious to know what You think!

I think you should learn the rules of capitalization in English before writing in it.

 
meekychuppet 2008-06-20 02:10:28 PM  
Okay, I read it again and tried to strip away the tautology. It seems to imply that atheists are selfish people who hate women and children.

t also stank of a huge inferiority complex.

 
Canadian Canuck [TotalFark] 2008-06-20 02:10:33 PM  
Damn it!

I just hope they don't find out that we eat babies and have gay marriages too.

I think she's saying that Germans are the devil, but I'm not 100% sure...

It's nothing like one's "individual conscience" or "internal principles" that way. After all, most people can lose those pretty easily! Just ask anyone when they're at a party after a few drinks and some Ecstasy and they're watching a porn movie on the HDTV while everyone's grinding to Usher, to take an obvious for-instance.

Well, yes, that does seem so very obvious. Wait, what?

 
meekychuppet 2008-06-20 02:12:50 PM  
Canadian Canuck: I just hope they don't find out that we eat babies and have gay marriages too.

Worst of all we don't have to look to a text or a minister for morality - we can think.

Wait a minute...

 
timujin [TotalFark] 2008-06-20 02:13:44 PM  
Some of the Dulls, for example, come to believe in the Loser for one kind of family reason - say, because they love their husbands or wives too much to believe that death really cuts the two apart forever. Even more people - way more, from what this Former Christian has seen - are drawn to belief because they feel that way about their brats.

I prefer Cajun spicy sausages personally, but brats aren't bad. I'd hate to think that death would keep me away from sausagey goodness.

Do Atheists Know Any Human Women, Human Children, or Human Families?

WTF? What a retarded question.

 
mrapier [TotalFark] 2008-06-20 02:16:48 PM  
What the? I'm not reading that shiat.

 
Dead Farker Walken 2008-06-20 02:17:25 PM  
Obligatory Christian-Bashing thread, I guess.

The article is retarded, so insult the author, not an entire religion and all of its followers.

I think it's some kind of code or subliminal message. All I know is I have sudden urge to be baptized.

I realize there were letters forming words and sentences in that article, but damn, that sh*t made no sense to me.

 
KramericaWallet 2008-06-20 02:17:49 PM  
The previous one was pretty wacky, but this here really tops it:

But this Director is also a midget. I have a thing about midgets, and not a good one.

I'm with mrapier; that first page damned near gave me a headache.

 
Dil Doe 2008-06-20 02:18:07 PM  
My god, that was just ... well, pathetic. I keep thinking that the conservative meltdown can't get any worse, but then I get proven wrong time and time again. The conservative movement hasn't simply died; it's followers have completely lost their minds.

What the fark was that shiat?

I really love this cartoon.

 
Hideously Gigantic Smurf 2008-06-20 02:18:35 PM  
Funny, I know plenty of people who worship children more than they do any God.

"Save the Children"
"Children are Precious"
"Think of the Children"
"Children are our Future"

Folks... Think about all the dumb farkin' people you have to deal with on an average day.

Now, then... Realize that once, they were all children.

 
medius [TotalFark] 2008-06-20 02:18:54 PM  
As part of the Atheist Agenda, I'm going to admit: This is All True.

She failed.

Nobody has bashed Christians.

 
spyderqueen 2008-06-20 02:19:17 PM  
I like the idea that it hates women particularly. Apparently it's only okay to be a misogynstic asshole if god tells you to.

 
timujin [TotalFark] 2008-06-20 02:19:24 PM  
Dead Farker Walken: The article is retarded, so insult the author, not an entire religion and all of its followers.

So far, that's what's been happening, making fun of the laughably bad writing.

 
DrForrester 2008-06-20 02:19:29 PM  
Damn. I am going to bring this up at this week's Atheist meeting.

In other news, transparent is a color, and National Review isn't a right-wing whack-job rag.

 
themoertel 2008-06-20 02:19:30 PM  
shiat, that's just plain difficult to read.

 
Instant Karma 2008-06-20 02:19:42 PM  
Are we supposed to circle all the capitalized letters and see what the secret message spells or something?

 
mikaloyd 2008-06-20 02:19:53 PM  
Athiests dont hate all that.

They just hate pleasant threads on FARK.

 
meekychuppet 2008-06-20 02:20:36 PM  
MasterThief: She was trying to rip off C.S. Lewis' The Screwtape Letters.

Really? Actually I can see it now. It's a god awful pastiche of it, terrible writing.

Nestea Plunge: WTF is a "Bright"?


Excerpt from a Richard Dawkins article (new window) explaining the whole "bright" vs. "atheist" thing:

"You can say "I am an atheist" but at best it sounds stuffy (like "I am a homosexual") and at worst it inflames prejudice (like "I am a homosexual"). Paul Geisert and Mynga Futrell, of Sacramento, California, have set out to coin a new word, a new 'gay'. Like gay, it should be a noun hijacked from an adjective, with its original meaning changed but not too much. Like gay, it should be catchy: a potentially prolific meme. Like gay, it will offend sticklers for punctilious rectitude such as me, but it might be worth it nevertheless. Like gay, it should be positive, warm, cheerful, bright.

Bright? Yes, bright. Bright is the word, the new noun. I am a Bright. You are a Bright. She is a Bright. We are the Brights. Isn't it about time you came out as a Bright? Is he a Bright? I can't imagine falling for a woman who was not a Bright.
"


There's even a logo:

I...I read that, and yet, I don't understand a word of it...its really really painful to read.

And for the record, Christians don't love children.

They love birth.

There's a difference.
