Are we reliving the cringefest atheism memes of early 2000s?
They won't go away as long as there are creationists trying to conform the world to their backwards worldview.
A classic 13 year old edge lord from 2003 memer.
2006, a fine vintage. Bush was still president.
I love seeing memes about religion being downvoted.
Your religion means nothing to anyone but yourselves and you should keep it to yourselves because we're just sick of it
As an atheist I downvoted because it's a cringe ass meme.
Sounds good in theory, but a) creationism isn't a religion and b) creationists and other religious folks aren't always content to "keep it to themselves." They often try to use legislation to force their religious views into public schools, for instance.
I see far more post for these types of “jokes”, that are low effort and repost far more often than I see people trying to legitimately shill for a religion. On here and on reddit.
Probably because the shilling is done IRL whereas on the internet no one gives a fuck
Want to hear a fun fact? I grew up in a fundie family and spent every Wednesday after (christian) school, for hours in the Florida sun, wearing a suit, walking door to door trying to get people to be "saved"./ Before spending 2 hours that evening in church where we'd tive status reports on how many we'd "saved" that day. I feel really fucking guilty about that, but I blame my parents more for forcing me into that. Fuck em.
Genuine question if you don't mind answering. About how many people did you actually "save"? I feel like most people are universally opposed to door-door salesman.
I dunno, maybe one or two a month? Not that many. People in that podunk orange-grove town were already pretty religious either at the same church or similar. Generally was kids who didn't know any better that were just outside playing or teens around our age. And yes, almost all of it was "no thanks, goodbye"
That's honestly more than I thought.
We also once spent a week in the far off land of heathens you might have heard of before. It's called "Canada". Pretty third world, but we definitely unheathened a lot of kids at church camp that week.
Man I feel so dirty just thinking about what I used to consider "normal" human behavior and all the churchy judginess I had. Thanks parents. At least I got out as soon as I was old enough and never looked back.
Tell that to Jehovah's witnesses
Okay... if that's the difference then... Does this mean creationism is still a sharp tool with an edge, even if without a point?
It is a man made invention.
Creationists are indeed edging to the border of insanity, yes.
Thats more like it! :)
Why would it be weird if a God used evolution to make shit and the stories just highlight cultural values?
Why follow someone who isn't omnipotent, all powerful, and all knowing?
And if they are all those things? Why the fuck would you follow them if they're cool with child cancer deaths and insects that burrow into eyeballs?
Fuck that noise
