I’m very friendly IRL. My favorite way to deal with Christians is to be utterly kind and charming, and when we get to be friends, come out of the atheist closet, in the hopes that they will be a little uncomfortable with the idea that their religion condemns me to an eternity writhing in hell. Most of the time they hold me at arm’s length after I “come out.” The smiles are a little too fixed and too forced.

My point is that friendliness is a goal and a constant struggle on both sides. And if we have to avert our gaze from anything “unfriendly,” we can’t read Hitchens or Dawkins or just about any other atheist writer.

I may do my level best to be friendly in real life, but it’s a strain. Being able to giggle in the privacy of my own study helps.

This is a mostly funny list. Some people posting here need to lighten up.

Dear Joe:

You said, “religion … is about doing the right thing and ACCEPTING PEOPLE.”
.
Sorry Joe, that makes no sense. A religion is an organized group with members who agree to abide by the rules, dogma, of that group. If you are not a member of their group, you – by definition – are NOT accepted. Face it, Joe — Religions are divisive forces in society that pit “us” against “them.” “We” are saved and “they” will go to hell. Since all religions are based on superstition, they can not be taken seriously.

I quite like one I heard recently:

God is Santa Claus for grown-ups.

For some strange reason people are replying with anger to a reasonably humorous page. so what if it against Christians or puts them down. This happens all the time i mean seriously do you just not laugh at racist or sexist or any other kind of biased joke. Because that’s exactly the point these are JOKES meant to entertain and not start “Holy War 112″ If you don’t have a sense of humor and cant appreciate these quotes then just get off the page and quit bitching.

Love 2, 6, 12, 22, 41, 45. Not so much some of the others but, then, I’m more a non-theist/agnostic than an atheist.

The anger your getting doesn’t surprise me. I just love how people who condemn anyone who doesn’t share their beliefs to eternal torture start crying “intolerance” when those people don’t like it….
