Post by: Court on September 02, 2006, 07:35:37 AM
At the risk of being offensive, I'm posting this. I thought it was pretty funny:

Well, I was recently accused by someone on this forum of being disrespectful and of 'intimating' that people have to be idiots to hold religious beliefs, thus sweeping said people and their beliefs aside without recourse to serious thought.  This cartoon is far more forthright about the issue than I was. Actually, I really don't believe that you have to be an idiot to hold religious beliefs but, as the saying goes, it helps.

And thanks, Court, I enjoyed the cartoon.

I don't think all religious people are stupid. I do think, however, that the majority of them are purposely stupid, ignoring or sweeping aside all questions about the illogical nature of their faith. I would love to print this out and post it somewhere, because this is the sort of thing I needed when I was a Christian -- a kick in the ass, a reminder that not everyone thought as I did and my questions about Christianity were not mere trifles. And by not questioning, I was being irrevocably stupid.

Thanks for sharing, Court.  The comic rang true on several points.  Plus there was a bonus Commander Keen sighting!  Cool.

Hey!  I noticed Commander Keen too - used to love that game...

The humor's a bit too heavy handed for my taste, but true none the less.

Same for me, although I was more a fan of Duke Nukem than of Commander Keen
