Meme of the Week – March 1st

Last edited Mon Mar 2, 2015, 01:25 PM - Edit history (1)

Meme of the Week
Selected from postings at Atheist Meme Base
http://www.atheistmemebase.com/

(That which I have been worrying about has finally happened, there were no new postings from AMB in the last week, so I picked some quotes that I thought were pretty good. Hopefully, this hiatus at AMB will be temporary.)


1) Epicurus Restated




2) The Tenacity of an Idea is Irrelevant to the Truth of that Idea




3) I have become the destroyer of Bad Ideas, I have become…Truth




4) Faith, where Contradiction = Persecution



5) None of the Above/Other (please post example)

Somehow, there's nothing there other than 4 titles, no captions or whatever was intended.

Edited to add: I just tried going to the Atheist meme base site and see that it is down.

Perhaps this thread will fix itself when that web site comes back up?

... that the images load just fine for me and I used the same procedure to create the post as I do every week. Including doing a preview/review before and after posting.

Anyone else having difficulties?

If so, I will capture the images and then re-repost them on an image hosting site and re-form the poll here on DU (at lunch time).

Sorry for the difficulty and thanks for the note,
NG

Just because I love Sarah Silverman. Despite her horrible taste in men.

The pix did not show up for me earlier this morning, but are working now. Temporary glitch in the MemeBase, probably. Or a raid by disgruntled believers, for the conspiracy theorists among us...

1 is an oldie but goodie but a little too long for a meme.
2 Sarah is great and her statement cuts right through a lot of apologetics. I would have voted for her but...
3 the Sagan quote cuts through all apologetics. Thus it got my vote.
4 I am amazed at how little votes this one is getting. This one I think would have been a winner in some of the previous weeks that I felt had weaker memes (not to insult our friend NeoGreen).

I guess it was because the main site was down for a while this morning.

All very good ones, again.

Hard to choose.

For some people they work, for some, not so much.

Sort of like the gods.

because.....Carl Sagan.

My second option would have been Emerson, and that is because of the persecution reference which is so ridiculous.
