AF Hall of Shame (Theist edition)

[cneron]

I don't agree with you ron. The media of the civilised world is predominantly atheist IMO. This space is certainly predominantly atheist of course. Perhaps it matches my surroundings most accurately. Perhaps I enjoy the different perspectives I find here from a wide vareity of faith positions. Maybe an atheist perspective is the truly questioning one where the widest exploration of differing positions is possible.

I certainly don't complain about lack of representation.

I'm not here to split hairs, but you said in the initial post, "Seems like the theist minority is lacking a place to laugh at atheists as we must."

Apparently I misinterpreted your statement. I thought you meant on this site, not in general. I thought this because of the title of your post: "AF Hall of Shame (Theist edition)." But you're talking about in general, evidently, or in your native country. Whatever, let's get past that.

You find media---in general---to be predominantly atheistic? Wow, let's all head for Wales. Ahh, but would we like it there, or is it the very opposition to prevalent (in the States, anyway) Xianity upon which we atheists thrive? Of course these things are relative. In Iran, the predominant view is Islam, and opposing it can get you beheaded, and few of us thrive on that. Which is not to say Xianity is inherently more tolerant than Islam, historically or even in modern times. While the atheist mightn't get beheaded here today, he can still lose his job, be ostracized and persecuted for atheism---hell, why don't we just swap passports?

By media being atheist, do you mean actively so, or simply that they don't mention God? Hardly the same thing. Because I don't see much atheist media, at least around here---though we're in a global society on the internet, anyway. So, even though you're traveling through largely Godless country on this website, as a theist---with 33.39% of the globe professing Xianity and 22.74% professing Islam--- you can take heart from the fact that we lowly unbelievers constitute only a few percent.

I'm gibbering. Apologies for any confusion or misinterpretation of your words.

Incidentally, not that it matters, but it isn't "Ron."
