These are the Christians on my feed... I think we need more like them.

Replying to [deleted] · I doubt it. People are already in line to pay for the food, meaning they have the money to do so. I find the whole concept rather obnoxious. It's the principle of the thing. I am

I agree, it's retarded. It's like a secret Santa party with fast food, where everyone chooses their own meal and another person pays for it. Now that I think of it, it's one of the most pointless and unimaginative "charitable" actions I can think of. If it ever happens to me, I'm…

You're an idiot if you believe in the Mayan calender.

Replying to Kr0nos · So, essentially when it comes to the bible, OP is a faggot.

I'd say the consensus was the exact opposite, unless my deductive reasoning skills are off.

Explaining fire to a Catholic

Replying to Highlighter_Freedom · Also, teaching everyone how to build a house, just so they can build one house for themselves, seems inefficient. Why not teach a few people how to build houses, and then let othe

Be the first! You can call yourself a homebuilder, or something to that effect.

Explaining fire to a Catholic

Replying to buckus69 · Build a man a house, and he is covered for a lifetime...teach him how to build a house, and it's alot easier?

You try teaching someone with no experience how to build a house. It ain't easy!

A Muslim friend of mine posted this on his Facebook wall

Replying to RonDeGrasseDawtchins · But seriously, why can't someone use the word agnostic if they feel it most accurately describes their worldview? Why bash someone for their beliefs like that?

So I was at Burger King tonight....

A guy came up to me at a gas station and asked if I could help him out, his car was out of gas and he had no money. I said sure, and gave him $5, all the cash I had. He then proceeds to walk to his car, get in, and drive off. Did not fill up or hesitate at all. I guess he needed…

Only two forces have died for your freedom…

Replying to Kirk__Cameron · Yeah. Belgian beer is my favorite kind. The best brews are done by trappist monks. I recommend trying Chimay if you haven't already. You can get a 750 ml bottle in the States for a

Ohh I know, I've probably had close to 1000 different beers now. Just in the last year I have had 350 different ones. That's when I started using Untappd to track my beer consumption. It's like a beer journal. I will purposely order beers that I have not had, even if the one I ju…

Replying to Kirk__Cameron · Yeah, I know. My parents are from Belgium. I simply say Dutch because people generally have no clue what you mean by Flemish. I probably shouldn't perpetuate that though...

My best friend is from Belgium too. Have you visited there? Both the Netherlands and Belgium are awesome!

InBev/Budweiser is headquartered in Leuven Belgium. So yes, it is in the Flemish side. It's not Dutch, but I know what you meant.

I found this Gem on Facebook "To All Parents: Keep your Children away from Reddit.com"

Replying to jlwestsr · Twitter is/has become the same way as well. A few months ago I tried to get a better understanding of the service and was completely turned off by the people who used the service.

To be fair, the internet as a whole has many rude and vial people on it. It's not just a Reddit thing. Anonymity gives people the ability to say whatever they want with no real recourse. That being said, /r/atheism is not a good subreddit to be in. I suggest if you are going to w…

The only 100% effective way of preventing drowning is not going in the water.

Karma is kind of like points in a video game. They don't matter in the real world, but that doesn't stop people from trying to beat the game.

I found this Gem on Facebook "To All Parents: Keep your Children away from Reddit.com"

Replying to Aitamen · Curious: What, exactly, about Reddit is unfit for children? Just curious as to the reasoning.

Many of the NSFW links, all of the NSFL links, many of the crude comments that pop up here and there, and things of that nature. There is a ton of worthwhile information out there, it just comes with some bad things as well. There have been a few links one here that I wish I had…

The only 100% effective way of preventing drowning is not going in the water.

Replying to camshell · But why are reposts even an issue? If it makes it back to the front page obviously enough people missed it the first time around, right?

They are not an issue if sufficient enough time has passed from the initial posting. A repost tag would simply inform people that they are not trying to karma whore as badly, or at least that they are being honest about it. It's kind of sad to see someone find a cool picture or a…

Replying to jlwestsr · You sound like a programmer yourself. So are you telling me that everything on Reddit is based on logical examination of a subject and placed on the site for an intellectual debate

You are correct, from your point of view what you posted was a reasonable observation. And I agree that much of Reddit is no place for children, especially from a parent's point of view. My point was more to do with your wording, and the inevitable perpetuation of the stereotypes…

The only 100% effective way of preventing drowning is not going in the water.

Replying to jeppest · Just because it's a repost doesn't mean that everyone has seen it. Although I do think there should be reference to the original post or something.

There should be a tag, like the NSFW ones, for a repost.

Replying to jlwestsr · Yep that's what happens when you are a software developer and everything is coded. You tend to take short cuts on spelling. I don't use spellchecker for a reason. :P

But your misspellings were not shortcuts, they were just misuses of the words. In any event, it's posts like those that fuel the ridicule of the right. It immediately begins with a fear tactic. Then it lowers itself to personal insults of the members of the site. Then is makes sw…

Thanks, me too! That was a long time ago. I slowly have learned how my brain works and how to stop that spiral. I couldn't be happier now!

Replying to RyGuy2012 · That's sadly true. And depending on how low your self worth is, you may think you deserve the pain.

The times I was seconds from ending it, all I felt was absolute nothingness. There was no sadness, no pain, no fear; just nothing. The only thing left that kept me here was the distant respect I had for my girlfriend and family. I knew my death would ruin them, so I pulled back t…

Letter from the Mayor of Boston to the President of Chick-fil-A

Replying to Genetic_Design86 · The statement is great and all, but has nothing to do with atheism.

Agreed. And fuck Chick-Fil-A, but I also don't want city officials taking the religious beliefs or statements of business owners into consideration for approving zoning. This could go both ways. Imagine if a really religious mayor blocked an atheist restaurant from opening becaus…

Think of their belief as a crutch. People would tend to get offended if you tried to take away their crutch. However, in your case, you do not need the crutch. That does not mean you will get upset if someone offers you it. Just politely decline.

Judging by rjcarr's comment, I believe he considers his stance as fact. That is why I used the term. To him it seems like an obvious fact, but to the people he is talking to, it does not. As far as I go, I am agnostic. There are things humans do not know, and may never know for s…

Oh, the irony.

Replying to rjcarr · It's because they absolutely cannot believe that god isn't real. To them, it's as real as the air or water. They honestly believe that the burden of *dis*-proof is on you. It's

When your psyche is founded on an idea as big as theirs, it's hard for you to be able to let go of that crutch long enough to see the truth. Their whole definition of existence rides on the very idea you are, in their eyes, nonchalantly dismissing. This is why they flip the table…
