Why religion is more progressive than pottery.

[Goblinmonger]

Because pottery is inanimate, silly. I mean, what has pottery done for gay rights recently?

What else is religion more progressive than?

[rug]

1. What is atheism more progressive than?

[AtheistCrusader]

6. Invalid question.

Atheism is silent on political matters.

Like pottery, in fact.

Now, you could use pottery to make a piece of art that most certainly would have a political/cultural/social bent, just like you could base some other ideology in atheism and then extrapolate from there.
Maybe you should ask that question again about an actual ideology with political/cultural bent. Like Secular Humanism or something.

7. Do you consider this a valid statement?

Why religion is more progressive than pottery.

The answer to the question, as you well know, is nothing.

Since atheism is silent on all, not just political, matters beyond nonbelief in god(s), that is the only possible answer.

Overall, it's a very stupid OP, as most flamebait is.

[AtheistCrusader]

8. It is not a valid question. Just as the thread that inspired this bit of satire is also invalid.

Which you can read about umpteen technical arguments clearly showing it to be invalid, in the original thread.


This thread is a satirical paraphrase. And quite effective, as you seem to have tripped to it with a principled approach that would apply to both.

[rug]

10. Calling it satire is a generous statement.

The difference between a dumb remark and satire is wit. I learned that in high school English.

[AtheistCrusader]

11. And yet, you came to what I would call, the correct conclusion about the

material it paraphrased.

[rug]

12. I made no comment on what it purports to paraphrase.

All remarks were about this OP.

I didn't even need an internet meme.

[AtheistCrusader]

13. It's ok.

I wouldn't want to defend that hill either.

[rug]

20. If that's a hill, this one is K2.

[AtheistCrusader]

21. I don't care how you weight them.

Well, I'm disappointed you peppered this one with what amounts to an objection, and appear to have left the other one alone. I was hoping for consistency.

But it is what it is.

[rug]

23. K2 is a mountain not a weight.

[AtheistCrusader]

24. I hope that was a joke.

[rug]

27. Hope is not factually based. It's also called Chhogori.

[AtheistCrusader]

28. *whew*

For a second there... My goat was gotten.

[mr blur]

35. "Stupid flamebait" And yet you're irresistibly drawn to it. Why is that?

[rug]

36. And there you are. Now why is that?

[immoderate]

2. It can also be more regressive than inanimate objects.

And so it goes...

4. What is atheism more progressive than?

[trotsky]

3. Religion is more progressive than the Million Moms!

Oh wait, are members of the Million Moms religious? Would that have something to do with why they are opposed to progressive ideas? Naw, couldn't be!

[rug]

5. What is atheism more progressive than?

I don't know why this is such a difficult question to answer.

[el_bryanto]

31. It's kind of nonsensical because Atheism isn't organized around one specific set of teachings

But then again the other question is nonsensical too. Some religions are progressive and some are less progressive. If you were talk talk about specific faiths you could say "Well this faith, which has these teachings, is more progressive than a ham sandwich, but less progressive than an antique doorknob." By the same token if you picked a specific atheist organization you could say "Well this organization, which has taken these positions, is more progressive than a field of strawberries but less progressive than a flock of seagulls."

9. Why religion is more progressive than goats.

[Heddi]

15. I could watch this for hours

[Warren Stupidity]

16. How can people eat goats?

Seriously. We should leave them the fuck alone.

[Heddi]

17. I love the one that sounds like Jerry Lewis

I watch that video like 8 times a month. Easily.

[Heddi]

18. I want to have a goat. I don't like goat meat

I have had goat curry several times. I found it gamey and stringy. and full of bones. who knew goats were so bony.

ANyways.

I love goats. They're so fun at petting zoos. They eat everything! One ate part of my sweater once! What a kook!

Let's go buy some goats, Warren. We can charge people .25 for a hand-full of Goat Chow and they can feed our goats and we'll have a petting zoo. And they can climb on things and other animals.

[Warren Stupidity]

19. I need a retirement avocation.

Goats sounds good.

[stone space]

32. Goats? Did somebody say goats? We have goats on out finca.

[Warren Stupidity]

39. nice.

[Warpy]

29. Dunno, the ones that sound like horror movie screaming women

would have hit the dinner table before they were out of kidhood if I kept them in my backyard.

The neighbors would have shot it.

[rug]

25. Here's amother one from from your meme generator website.

It's just as stupid.

[AtheistCrusader]

40. That goat was my FB profile pic for almost a year.

[rug]

41. I thought it looked familiar.

[AtheistCrusader]

14. False, pottery is more progressive because it never called homosexuality a sin to start with.

22. Religion is more progressive than Cthulhu...

...because some religions put their best foot forward and at least shoot for building a better society. Cthulhu just flips the fuck out and eats people.



Ia! Ia! Cthulhu Fhtagn!

[trotsky]

26. Bullshit. Cthulhu is progressive.

He'll show mercy to those he favors by eating them first.

[Act_of_Reparation]

30. Pft. Cthulhu doesn't have shit on Yog-Sothoth.

Yog-Sothoth knows the gate, and he is the gate.

Can't explain that!

[Goblinmonger]

33. I think angry, drunken grandpa old testament god

could give Cthulhu a run. I mean, sure Cthulhu eats the fuck out of his devotees but entire fucking world-wide genocide save for 7 people on a boat? Suck on that, Cthulhu.

[Act_of_Reparation]

34. Well, shit. Now you've got me convinced!

Cthulhu used to kick the shit out of dinosaurs just to keep in shape. Yahweh doesn't even remember creating the fucking things in the first place. Cthulhu believes in evolution, God does not. Cthulhu 1, God 0.

[Warren Stupidity]

37. 7 people on a boat? That was a translation error.

"7 people on a goat" - original text.

[Goblinmonger]

38. That's a MUCH better story.

[Lordquinton]

42. Cthulhu was killed by a boat

[trotsky]

43. Are you sure he wasn't killed by a goat?

I heard it was a goat.

That or he fell in a moat.

[Goblinmonger]

44. If you were a believer, you should be able to quote it by rote.

If you don't, Chthulu will smote.
It's not up for a vote.
Can you feel the tentacles on your throat?

[trotsky]

45. Nice.

I know better than to get into a rhyming contest with an English teacher, though. :-D

[Goblinmonger]

46. Would anyone like a peanut?

I couldn't resist.
