I’ve said much less than the quotes regarding mothers and chocolate in light-hearted jest and have been as a disrespectful heretic by friends or coworkers. I just think it is a perfect example wanting to have it both ways. They want to preserve the sanctity of their precious holy text on one hand, but don’t mind parodying it (on their own terms only) on the other.

I think you’re making a big deal out of nothing. I’m an atheist too, but I can’t figure out what your complaint is. In fact, “And on the 8th day, God created chocolate.” is the sort of joke I would make.

Oh, but I think it is you theists who are the funny ones. You don’t know the answer to questions about the origin of life, so you automatically assume that a celestial magician did it!

The whole “something from nothing” argument leads to an infinite regression, because, after all, this god of creation had to come from somewhere. And wherever he came from had to by created by something. Ad infinitum.

You atheists are funny. Keep it up. By the way nobody typed this. It just magically appeared like everything else in the universe. HA HA HAAAA

Not stealing, killing, or being adulterous are not inspired by the Bible. They are spawned by mutual respect for fellow mankind.

While talking snakes may not be forced into my life, per se, the funding of “faith-based initiatives”, the blocking of funding for stem cell research, and other by-products of the religious political movement do.

When was the last time a talking snake was forced into your life?
If this happens again, politely tell your boyfriend you’re just not into that sort of thing and I’m sure he will understand.

Now, since the Bible is a bunch of nonsense to you, I suspect you will continue to steal, kill, and commit adultery to carry on the free thinking tradition.

Don’t you worry, things will swing your way in the next 4 years.

Oh it is quite aggravating. It’s aggravating to live in a country where the majority of its citizens believe in talking snakes and bushes, navigational pillars of fire, and all of the other nonsense in the Bible.

The truly aggravating part is that these people are legislators and adjudicators and their zany but otherwise harmless beliefs are forced into my life.

I like it when you’re mad. It really shows how aggravating it must be to be an atheist.

THANK YOU! Thank you for speaking your mind. It makes me feel less alone, like the sanity I possess is an asset, and not a sin.
