Really? You're worse than putrid discharge from a syphilitic monkey's bleeding rectum? I find that hard to believe... On second thought - yeah, you just might be...

That's handy.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

I love a joke my brother made in response to "Jesus saves."
He said "Oh I usually just use Ctrl + S".

My favorite has always been:
JESUS SAVES!
(Everyone else takes 2d6 damage.)
A Christian told me: if you were saved you cant lose your salvation. you're sealed with the Holy Ghost
I replied: Can I refuse? Because I find the entire concept of vicarious blood sacrifice atonement to be morally abhorrent, the concept of holding flawed creatures permanently accountable for social misbehaviors and thought crimes to be morally abhorrent, and the concept of calling something "free" when it comes with the strings of subjugation and obedience perhaps the most morally abhorrent of all... and that's without even going into the history of justifying genocide, slavery, rape, misogyny, religious intolerance, and suppression of free speech which has been attributed by your own scriptures to your deity. I want a refund. I would burn happily rather than serve the monster you profess to love.

I used to play Warhammer 40k so I find that funny too.
I just love how it was so spontaneous and nonchalant when my brother made that joke lol

Just one point, as there's too much rubbish to hit point-by-point:
Quote:Even the most famous verse in the whole Bible, whose reference is written on the bottom of the cup at “In and Out Burger.” It’s so famous. Everybody’s heard of it: John 3:16. “For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life.”
Firstly, I'm not sure that being printed on the bottom of a cup at 'In and Out Burger' is a particularly strong argument in favour of your interpretation of this verse.
Secondly, this is the most notorious bit in the Bible. Here's what it's really saying: 'For God so despised intellectual honesty, freedom and free thought that he has declared that anyone who does not love Jesus to the exclusion of all else is doomed to eternal misery and torture for the unthinkable crime of having the temerity to use the critical reasoning skills that God has provided.'
Any Christian who thinks John 3:16 is an expression of God's love for humanity should be ashamed of themselves.
