Atheism versus half a ham sandwich.

Atheism is nothing.
A half a ham sandwich is better than nothing.

Atheism - like a ham sandwich, but less ham and no sandwich.

WAIT... is this the thread where you can mock atheism without being "inflammatory"?
Animavore?

Can you point to a thread in the history of this forum where atheism couldn't be mocked.... ? Citations? No, cheap throw-away comment as usual: it's the way you tell 'em.


Religion IS the joke. All these mutually exclusive assertions about the way the universe works, and the personal feelings of the creator, drawn from the collective wisdom of bronze age pastoralists, and routinely dragged out on public display in the 21st century complete with begging bowl.

Atheism is a null position, Lion: it just doesn't accept the claims about gods - there's nothing really to mock, which is why you can't get a hold on it. It's alright, there are plenty of other human quirks and eccentricities available to pick on - no one claims that atheism is a panacea from being an idiot.

LMFAO!! gimme that on a teeshirt

Atheism should not be any more
protected than theism in the sense
that nothing deserves an unquestioning
belief and I for one have zero problem with
anyone mocking mine. And in fact in defence
of free speech would expect nothing less. As the
only way that one can advance is through brutal self
analysis - and nothing less can do - it really is that simple

Take it and strip it down to it s component parts and then try and put it
back together. If any thing is missing then there is a flaw. Then reference
that flaw and then repeat that process ad infinitum - there are only two rules
which are universal : always respect the individual but attack the idea - it makes
no difference whatsoever who the individual in question is or what the idea is - the
bar is set at infinity for this with no exceptions whatsoever - don t forget to remember

I would certainly hope so. I love nothing better than a good laugh. Did I mention my cousin is a famous stand-up comedian? It's just when people try touch atheism it generally has no comedy value. We've all heard the one about the priest, the rabbi and the iman but where's the atheist?

Would that be Ed Byrne ? For me though the best Irish one is Dylan Moran

No. Not that cunt. Jason Byrne is my cousin.

To reiterate -

But as a Christian wouldn't you have to say that nothing is better than God? And doesn't that make God two steps worse than half a ham sandwich?
