Aaaand away from the religion thing, apparently my brother thinks cheese is a mineral.

Must... Resist... Modding.

[Yoink]

Ahmagerd cheddar warhammers!

"Blah blah, you support gays and non-christians, so GOD HATES YOU!"

I've developed a healthy respect for many religious people. Some of their beliefs are literally so hard to uphold in the face of scrutiny that it takes serious bravery to defend them... Against reality. Do I disagree with it? Yes, but it's still a hard feat to achieve.

[Tellemurius]

Woah the pope supports the idea of evolution? damn i didn't know that and im catholic.....

[ChairmanPoo]

Did not expect that.

Nobody does.

[Darvi]

I always do. Except for when they actually do appear.

[Hanslanda]

Misko is none of these things.  Educated, reasonable, or a human person.

Officially I'm a catholic, even though practically I'm anything but. Do I qualify for non-personitude?

Well, I'm fairly sure you're actually human. The whole religion thing has nothing to do with Misko being human or not.

This. It's pretty impressive sometimes. They're like, "Everything in the bible is amazing and the word of god."
And I'm like, "Even that part in Dueteronomy where they talk about making food with human dung?"
And they're like, "Ssssh. That was a metaphor."

The Pope does lot of things.

Also, you have to watch out for those numbers. For example, the believe in Evolution thingy is for the US only, and the US not a representative for the world.

The macromeme quote is a macromeme quote.

The bad thing about internet quotes is that you can never be sure that it is correct, or that the person in question actually said that.
-Abraham Lincon

To continue, most of the shooling system in Europe is Religously inspired. (Meaning you have a mass at the beginning of the year, and one at the end. And crosses everywhere, but that's because the buildings quite old.)

To be fair, human dung was used to cook food in those days. Or maybe the Bible was just ahead on ecologism.

Anyway, the Bible is composed of 2000 years of mistranslations, manipulations, errors  and intrepretations of a text which was probably cryptic in the first place.

Christianity is not the Bible, it's but a mere intrepretation of it. (Actually it's more or less than that).^

As for listening to the Pope, it's not mandatory. We don't live in a theocrazy anymore.

There's also the bit where you should be stoned to death for wearing mixed fibres, or eating seafood. Right above where it says you should kill gays.

I KNEW IT. SEAFOOD IS EVIL.

-Whereas they would point out do not murder, love thy neighbour and so on. It takes serious dedication.

[The Darkling Wolf]

Yep. This is the reason the Old Testament isn't, or shouldn't be, used in modern Christianity.

[Darvi]

Yeah the lack of "disregard anything I said previously" was a serious oversight on the author's part.

Like the episode of Exterminatus Now where the god visits the demagogue, and starts ripping pages out of the holy book like, "I didn't say that. That was some other guy. I was in a wierd mood that century... That's a translation error... I have no idea what I meant by this. Didn't you get those prophets I sent?"
"Uh, we had them burned alive as heretics..."
"Awwwkward..."

basically every Christian that has threatened me with hell unless I stop being atheist and become Christian.

this sums up my reaction:

As an atheist, having a Christian threaten me with hell is like having a hippy threaten to punch me in my aura.

Hell and Heaven aren't even supposed to be relevant in modern Christianity (NT retcon).
