    Surely ALL beliefs that rest on totally unproven (and unprovable) myths, supreme beings, gods etc should be treated as comical?

    What I don't get about the Big Bang theory is that just like Creationism it requires the making of something from nothing and when you try and ask how that's possible you get told your too think to understand it.

  • I don't know which joke's older, biker46's, which I first heard with President Idi Amin's name instead of Bush's, or pneumatic's.
    Certainly some great jokes to be read in that link. I'm not sure how deep the religious convictions of various American presidential hopefull's are, they'd probably claim never to have farted if it'll win more votes.

    Religion certainly does bring out the idiot in people. It might just be me, but I see no point in believing in something that doesn't exist.. Each to their own and all that though I guess (which is definately not upheld by religious types - do this or blah blah blah, convert to this or blah blah blah, act like this or blah blah blah)

    Yep, even those who aren't 'religious.'

    A young woman teacher with obvious liberal tendencies explains to her class of small children that she is an atheist. She asks her class if they are atheists too. Not really knowing what atheism is but wanting to be like their teacher, their hands explode into the air like fleshy fireworks.

    There is, however, one exception. A beautiful girl named Lucy has not gone along with the crowd. The teacher asks her why she has decided to be different.

    "Because I'm not an atheist."

    Then, asks the teacher, "What are you?"

    "I'm a Christian."

    The teacher is a little perturbed now, her face slightly red. She asks Lucy why she is a Christian.

    "Well, I was brought up knowing and loving Jesus. My mom is a Christian, and my dad is a Christian, so I am a Christian."

    The teacher is now angry. "That's no reason," she says loudly.

    "What if your mom was a moron, and your dad was a moron. What would you be then?"

    She paused, and smiled. "Then," says Lucy, "I'd be an atheist."



    Step right up....place your bets. I'm guessing Schmako next.

    Love this who cares crap. I'm BACK. I tried to stay away, but RSS got me.

    it brings out the idiot in some people - most people quietly go about their lives and are happy with their faith.

    reading through those quotes again, it can be quite frightening to think that religion makes some people go to these extremes although most of those quotes just make me despair.

    the bible is possibly the most destabilising publication that has ever/ will ever exist - especially to an already fragile mind:

    Psychotic + Bible = Disaster.

    Bruce Lee, Ted Bundy, Jeffrey Dahmer, the Yorkshire Ripper, John Wayne Gacy, Bible John etc are all (admittedly extreme) examples.

    I'm sure there's few dead people who wish St John the Divine had gone on holiday somewhere less vulcanological than Patmos and stayed off the opiates whilst he was there.

    The Bible, to some, is akin to dangerous software that the human mind (V.1.0) is not equipped to run.
  • actually, maybe these people are true geniuses.

    maybe they're sending the greatest insult of all to Chalrles Darwin by actually reversing evoloution!

    :shock:
  • This, However, is Genius!

    Obviously their counting skills deserted them on that one. Reminds me of the Sid Waddell classic: "There's only one word for that - magic darts" :wink:

    I'm a Christian and abhor the views expressed on that site. They do no one any favours. It's hardly a message of love being preached :roll:

    The extreme ends of any religion are going to make the 'normal' followers look bad.

    " can sum it all up in three words: Evolution is a lie " Oh yes....perfect :D:D:D:D

    "If your original Hebrew disagrees with my original King James --- your original Hebrew is wrong. If your original Hebrew agrees with my original King James, your original Hebrew is right. "

    "You are banned. You are not a Christian for Christians don't accuse brothers and sisters in Christ of being non-Christian. "

    if they were nt so insane you'd have to love them?!?!

    Substitute your prefered secular or religious association in the appropriate fields.

    I think it's funny as hell the way it is.

    quote]

    because it's cake stop. when i'm out for a ride and i stop, i talk about all kinds of rubbish and it's very rarely to do with cycling! there's over 30 (closer to 40) different sections on this website alone to discuss bikes and cycling related stuff. there's only 2 for general chat.

    if you don't like chat, don't come in.

    :D

    It's humor. I know very well what this thread is for, to meet and bite heads off.
