The Atheist Obsession with Insulting Christians

[Anomalocaris]

^What? What's this about?

Obama once referred to 57 states.

The kind of obsession not all together surprising from a pudgy, ineffectual, bespectacled little man who once used a marble bust as his avatar.

Yeah, like trying figure out where the extra seven states are.

The extra seven states are on Snopes.com

^What? What's this about?

During his first campaign Obama was going hard and after going about 53 hours with next to no sleep and he made a slip up on a talk show. He said there was 57 states.

Technically he said he had visited 57 states and had one more to go. He had actually visited 47 states.

Yeah I just watched the snopes video. Damn he got old looking.

I would note, also, that the Snopes article mentions that the "57 states" slip-up immediately was used as evidence of the President being a secret Muslim, or at least implying it.

When President Bush made gaffes, it was usually of a type that made you question his grasp on the language. My personal favorite is, "Strategery." Which, to be fair, I think is superior enough to the word it replaced that I now use it on occasion.

But nobody would think that President Obama doesn't know how many states there are, unless they think he's "not really an American", on some level. Just throwin' that out there. It's clear that he started to say, "50 states", realized he was about to make a factual error, and corrected himself, being tired enough to forget he had just said fifty-, not forty-, when he eventually finished with "seven".

It is funny, by itself... but the willingness of the dishonest people out there to jump on such a thing should make them too ashamed to show their faces in public. But they have no shame. So many legitimate reasons to argue about the President's policies and actions, but they feel they have to make up false arguments that try to paint him as "not one of Us", not a Real American™.

Shame, shame.

I like C_L and kingpin because they're people with quirks and senses of humor and varied interests.  They're not apologist robots or shit and run artists or Huggy.

I know I could hang out with either of them IRL and talk about stuff not related to religion at all.  Like pooping.  And that's awesome.

Pooping, yes.

Farting, no.

Oh no, next you're going to tell me that the ladies not only use their bonus orifice for pooping but also fart like guys.  Is nothing holy anymore?

[Cyberman]

True ladies don't fart. They get the vapours.

Insulting member's appearances. That's nice.

I have never farted.
