Breaking News: Atheism is uncool

[Silver]

At least according to one particular Catholic writer.

As much as I wish the following was an Onion article, it just is not. This man really is this stupid.

I've read a number of stories about how atheism is seen as "cool" by many young people, especially among college age youths. That's funny to me because I couldn't think of anything less cool than becoming an atheist. So, just in case any young people are reading, here are eight reasons that atheism is the in-coolest choice ever.

8) Religious people live longer, happier lives, according to numerous scientific studies.

7) Michelangelo and Bach (look 'em up kids!) were indisputably awesome Christian artists.

6) Typical Atheist gathering:


World Youth Day:


5) Most of your big time mass killers of the 20th century were atheists.

4) This is an extreme Christian.


This is an extreme atheist:


3) As a Christian, my wife looks at me like I'm a gift from God.

2) Many of your college professors agree with your atheist beliefs. How's that for the uncoolest choice ever?

1) Atheists have less children and that probably means...well you probably know what that means since you're all about SCIENCE! Once again, to sum up, you'll be miserable, have a shorter life, and quite likely less sex than your religious counterparts. And you thought atheism was cool? Reconsider and repent ye' fools. Jesus said he is the way, the truth, and the life. Left unsaid, is that He's totally cooler than Richard Dawkins!

I mean, anyone who gives Mother Teresa as an extreme portrait of a good person is obviously thinking uncritically.

Most of your big time mass killers in HISTORY were people who claimed to be religious.

He misses the coolest thing about being a theist. I lack the superpower to create a god through mere assertion. Even the Fonz couldn't pull that off.

Oh, and Christian pop music fucking rocks! The Who? Who?!?

Wow. This writer is, like, so radical, dude. His article is da bomb! 

[emjay]

Wow... just wow. It's come to that has it? I only have to think of Christian rock music to put that into perspective

Cool Christians talk about carrying cross not lust.

9) our condemnation of all things gay sexuality makes their depravities all the hotter and more alluring for them to enjoy
