Wow, okay. I guess I have to actually explain the joke to you. The humor here is derived from the contradiction between the faith people like you will afford large, impossible claims like the existence of god, when you won't extend even a modicum of that same faith to mundane claims, such as the existence of wet paint. It's a shot at how little you religious folks think about religious claims.

To say "atheists are the ones touching the paint, hurr durr!" strips the humor from the joke, because it strips the premise from the joke, because atheists don't extend such large amounts of faith toward gods in the first place. The behavior of atheists- touching the paint to investigate the veracity of the claim that it's wet- is entirely within character, and also entirely justified, in some respects. You can't cut out the setup for the joke in an ill conceived, childish shot at atheists without also invalidating the punchline.

Also, what "reality of truth," did you expose, in your last post? All you did was go "nuh uh, that's what atheists do!" without actually considering the content of the joke you were responding to.

Oh wait, I get it! The "reality of truth" was how completely idiotic you can be in defending your faith! Nice one!

Those who do not touch the wet paint believe what they read because of their experiencing the signs, the wet look, the smell and ect., those who do can't believe in anything, thus toughing the paint and spoiling the work done, ie. sin. Trust has more going for it than, the need for absolutes.
Reading what you write is as boring as watching paint dry.

I'm not quite sure why the author is getting so much shit for the OP.


Am I missing something? Although he could've come up with a better title for the thread, I think it reads right on.
Has he been trolling somewhere else? because this thread seems pretty legit to me.

Yep, great: the appearance of wet paint, the smell... that's all evidence. Stuff you do not have for a god. The humor of the joke is maintained, your inability to understand it is confirmed, and your inability to properly form syllogisms is also confirmed.

Again.
