Checkmate, atheists

You know Summer, I friended you a long time ago but I'm still pending. Wtf!?

If people don't send me a message ID'ing themselves, I usually don't respond to it. Which one are you?

Yeah, I get that, but I think that's mostly true about Christians only when you say something bad about Jesus and/or when you mock their religion. Same thing with Muslims.

Not just in the religion department. The political arena is the second biggest that I would use as an example, but it extends to other areas as well. Humor gets more and more infantile and, in some ways, bizarre, the more conservative or unskeptical you get.

I suppose the reason the religious side of it amuses me the most is because God is supposed to be a powerful being of some sort, no matter HOW you believe in god, and yet believers act as if they HAVE to defend Him/Her/It.

Also, you know I'm of the opinion that no one side is more arrogant, etc than the other. My position on humor comes solely from the firm belief that to truly make something funny, you have to have a deep understanding of it, and the vast majority of theists I've run into have proven time and again that not only are they not funny, but they're not very well versed in the things they say they believe. This means they lack the ability to point out basic ironies. They don't know where exaggerations should be placed. And they don't know how to NOT take things seriously.
