Is any of this posted to disprove anything? I think they are all nonsensical as well and I'm a theist. Does that mean anything to you? You could actually remove the word religious from all the posts and simply have it read "people" and they are still nonsense. Adding religious is creating a wedge where none is necessary. I could post similar things that "atheists" believe that are nonsensical but some ones worldview alone should not necessitate denigration.

I think it's a matter of ratios. Do you watch Fox News by any chance?

Catholic men around the world feel that their manhood is threatened, so they organized into an army of kneeling men

Men’s Worldwide Rosary prays for the conversion of the entire world

Men from more than 40 countries joined together on May 6 for the worldwide Men’s Rosary, praying on their knees before the Virgin Mary so that men would once again be valued in society and for the conversion of the entire world.

“In a world where men are not only criticized from all sides, from the father of the family to the priest, but also where he is attacked in his maximum essence as a man, seeking the feminization of men and the masculinization of women, in the Men’s Rosary we are praying for once again men to be valued in society,” he concluded.

“The Men’s Rosary is a powerful response of saying no to secularism these days, and it was a resounding no in the public square, a courageous confrontation with the enemy,” Waite told ACI Prensa.

Páez shared a final thought with ACI Prensa: “Remember that a Christian without a rosary is like a soldier without weapons.”

No I do not.  I find their "news" to be utter nonsense, biased opinion.  Though admittedly, MOST news outlets have slants one way or another.  I miss the old days of simply stating facts as news.

Pure entertainment. The spectacle of absurd shit declared with the purported authority of religious certainty.

Provided thats it I can join in because I find it all nonsense and frankly embarassment.  This is NOT Christianity.  Further, none of this stands as a proof of no God lol.

One of the points of this topic is to show how religion dumbs down people on a daily basis. And you as a Christian should pay close attention to it to save yourself from embarrassment. I mean if you are a church-going Catholic then you were probably approached by other members of the community and the clergy telling you that your manhood is under attack and that you need to go out and fight for it in public squares.

I'm well aware of the absurdity of religious establishments and the embarrassment they are.  This is the same thing Jesus admonished in His time on earth.

Well, not all of it.  Some of it is islam and hinduism and a spattering of other nutty beliefs.  Mostly, though..yeah, it's christianity.

One of the most absurd things, in this parade of the absurd...at least in my opinion, is christianity and christians refusal to be accountable for their own shit. Will we never be done with the ridiculous premise that anyone who does something shitty for christ is christing wrong? How many examples to the contrary should it take?

Being generous, and assuming you actually are an outlier to this bullshit, you're the weird one my dude, not them. You're the one the lacks the faith to go down the deepest darkest holes your gods decree. Honestly, bravo? I suspect it's harder to genuinely believe in the gods of magic book and then edit them to fit your own personal sensibilities, than it is to just throw your hands in the air. Where others see laziness in a pick and choose adventure approach to christing right, I see extra work.

You won't find that absurdity from me.  I will own the embarrassment that most that espouse to be Christians put out there.  I don't agree with them.  Just because they do something in the name of Christ does not make it Christian.  Just like the crusades.  That was not Christian.
