Mine, on the other hand, is "The Thin Blue Line." More than a few times I've actually pissed him off because we'd be watching it late at night, he'd have fallen asleep, and then the show would made me laugh out loud so hard that I'd wake him up!

We played the "Mr. Bean" DVDs for our kids and really enjoyed how we COULD do that - it's scathingly funny AND still clean enough for kids. One time we gave a "Mr. Bean" DVD set to my son's best friend for I think either his 7th or 8th birthday - the kid's whole family got into it, with great relish!

great! you've managed to insult both atheists AND a whole lot of believers at the same time! unblock Apr 2012 #10

You stepped up to the plate. Now swing dmallind Apr 2012 #11

Well, what is YOUR definition of god? usrname Apr 2012 #16

No, the starting point *is* whether one chooses not to believe in god, period. SemperEadem Apr 2012 #17

Conflating criticism and ridicule is ridiculous. rug Apr 2012 #12

How are they conflated? I see an "and" in the quote dmallind Apr 2012 #15

Criticism of a position is usually based on sound reasoning and established facts. rug Apr 2012 #20

It's too bad so many around here think "sound reasoning" also equates to "ridicule." eqfan592 Apr 2012 #21

No, that's a non sequitur. rug Apr 2012 #32

Yes I know the definitions. Where's the conflation? dmallind Apr 2012 #27

It mixes two completely different genres that have two completely different purposes rug Apr 2012 #36

Satirists would disagree with you muriel_volestrangler Apr 2012 #33

I value good satire. It serves a purpose. But it does not make a good argument. rug Apr 2012 #35

You said criticism and ridicule should not be mixed muriel_volestrangler Apr 2012 #37

So atheists shouldn't complain when their beliefs are criticized and ridiculed - Cool! bananas Apr 2012 #13

They'd have to exist first. dmallind Apr 2012 #14
