      But that means they existed for you to have killed them!

      … although I guess that means they don’t exist anymore, so checkmate theists! Now there are no gods!

    It’s the same weirdness when some (usually) Christian Americans think it’s a gotcha when an atheist says “omg”.

    I hope they bring that same energy to themselves when they live by the weekdays that were all named after Norse gods or refer to the other planets in the solar system by the names they were given from the Roman gods.

    Omg did you just say WEDNESDAY? You believe in Odin, huh?

      Okay weird coincidence. I was at a park tonight trying not to mind my own business (there were food trucks) and I was right behind this lady and her son. She kept bugging him that he wasn’t really atheist because he kept saying ‘oh my god’ and he kept saying oh my god mom drop it and they seemed to be having a good time bickering. Anyways I finally had to pipe up “oh your god I think he knows if he’s an atheist”.

      I’d like to think he’s saying “oh your god” now too.

    Pretty sure atheists are smart enough to realize video games are a work of fiction, just like gods.

          I was taught if you don’t have anything nice to say to not say anything at all. Generally if you feel the need to add “just being honest” you’re probably just being rude.

              I mean, he’s not really defending pedophiles, he’s just saying that some people like to hurt others so they’ll pick a group who are hated by the vast majority of people, so that they won’t face any repercussions. It’s more of a simple comment rather than a show of support for fucking pedophiles.

                The irony being that in that very comment I even almost added something to the effect of “because they use it as a shield, as soon as you criticize their violence they accuse you of defending pedophiles” but I didn’t think it was necessary.

                Thank you for trying to understand me instead of just seeing me as a monster.

                  No worries, I enjoy actually understanding what someone wrote down instead of imagining what I want to be written down lmfao.

        Oh, I got the joke. I just think my joke was as funny. Nice to see it went over your head as much as you think yours did with me.
