Lions, amirite? Warren Stupidity Jun 2015 #12

Well let's see. An atheist criticizes a common atheist meme. rug Jun 2015 #13

Don't you agree that there should be more lions? Warren Stupidity Jun 2015 #16

There's plenty of lyin going on. rug Jun 2015 #22

well there is plenty of deflection, a form of lying. Warren Stupidity Jun 2015 #36

And theres plenty of intentional obtuseness, a rather distasteful form of lying. rug Jun 2015 #44

Back to lions: should there be more lions? Warren Stupidity Jun 2015 #47

QED. rug Jun 2015 #51

It is a simple question rug. Relates directly to your op. Warren Stupidity Jun 2015 #53

Because it doesn't. rug Jun 2015 #59

Still can't answer the question: should there be more lions? Warren Stupidity Jun 2015 #73

A catholic posts a(nother) article critical of atheists Lordquinton Jun 2015 #21

And? Does the criticism of an offensive meme offend you? rug Jun 2015 #23

You really dont understand your privilege Lordquinton Jun 2015 #29

You don't understand privilege at all, including your own. rug Jun 2015 #45

I understand your lashing out again Lordquinton Jun 2015 #84

You are as good a polemicist as you are an analyst. rug Jun 2015 #98

It's ok, you're in a safe place Lordquinton Jun 2015 #106

You shrug it off as well as a sponge sheds water. rug Jun 2015 #134

So you've demonstrated Lordquinton Jun 2015 #152

You're projecting. rug Jun 2015 #153

His father, Marcus Aurelius, wasn't stupid. He would never have said that. rug Jun 2015 #26

The author has it backwards Cartoonist Jun 2015 #25

Do you admire Diocletian? rug Jun 2015 #27

You're living in another world Cartoonist Jun 2015 #28

I thought it was hilarious. beam me up scottie Jun 2015 #31

What other mass executions of religious groups do you find hilarious, bmus? rug Jun 2015 #48

You seem to be getting very upset about your op. Warren Stupidity Jun 2015 #55

You seem to be having difficulty reading people as well as words. rug Jun 2015 #60

No this is a public message board Warren Stupidity Jun 2015 #72

No, Warren, ignore is your famous, alleged, tool. rug Jun 2015 #77

actually it was great. Thanks for asking. Warren Stupidity Jun 2015 #80

Why did you stop using it? hrmjustin Jun 2015 #81

If a bear shits in the woods is it as funny as a fart in a space suit? Warren Stupidity Jun 2015 #85

No. Why did you take rug off ignore? hrmjustin Jun 2015 #87

Why won't Donald take that raccoon off his head? Warren Stupidity Jun 2015 #91

Oh i see, you never had him on ignore. hrmjustin Jun 2015 #92

yes that's it exactly. Your wizard powers are exceptional. Warren Stupidity Jun 2015 #93

yes it makes sense. hrmjustin Jun 2015 #95

Not nearly as upset as you. rug Jun 2015 #101

now we know he never had you on ignore. hrmjustin Jun 2015 #105

why is who I do or don't have on ignore so terribly important to you justin? Warren Stupidity Jun 2015 #110

Terribly important. hrmjustin Jun 2015 #112

Well you seem obsessed with it. You keep asking and asking and asking. Warren Stupidity Jun 2015 #113

You keep asking rug about lions. Why are you obsessed with lions? hrmjustin Jun 2015 #114

I love lions. Don't you? Warren Stupidity Jun 2015 #116

Lions are good people. hrmjustin Jun 2015 #117

No seriously, lions are endangered and the world would be less beautiful Warren Stupidity Jun 2015 #118

I have no problem with more lions. is that clear enough for you? hrmjustin Jun 2015 #119

What is the greatest threat to lions? Warren Stupidity Jun 2015 #120

People i assume. i am not an expert on lions. hrmjustin Jun 2015 #121

Overpopulation to be more precise. Warren Stupidity Jun 2015 #122

You tell me. hrmjustin Jun 2015 #123

Let's take this past Lions. Warren Stupidity Jun 2015 #124

Overpopulation is definitely a threat to the human race. hrmjustin Jun 2015 #125

Not just humans, Justin. Warren Stupidity Jun 2015 #126

i think we should aim to reduce the population. hrmjustin Jun 2015 #127

Should that reduction be spread evenly across all of human society? Warren Stupidity Jun 2015 #128

I think Christians should aim to reduce the population. hrmjustin Jun 2015 #129

Inescapably you must agree "Too many Christians and not enough lions". Warren Stupidity Jun 2015 #130

No sir and your attempt to get me to agree with you was cute but a waste if time. hrmjustin Jun 2015 #131

logic fail Warren Stupidity Jun 2015 #132

Bull! The term is meant to say feed Christians to the lions. hrmjustin Jun 2015 #157

I read it more as a lament, than a directive. In any case, at least it's incredibly rare. AtheistCrusader Jun 2015 #161

You've agreed that more lions and fewer christians is a good thing. Warren Stupidity Jun 2015 #162

Keep reaching Warren. hrmjustin Jun 2015 #166

Let us review: Warren Stupidity Jun 2015 #168

You are putting too much energy into something i can see right through. hrmjustin Jun 2015 #169

More Lions not a good thing? Fewer Christians not a good thing? Warren Stupidity Jun 2015 #170

Have a great day. hrmjustin Jun 2015 #171

been fine so far Warren Stupidity Jun 2015 #172

You've demonstrated you are inept at what precedes Quod Erat Demonstrandum. rug Jun 2015 #139

Oh you finally looked it up. Warren Stupidity Jun 2015 #141

QED rug Jun 2015 #144

And you still don't understand what it means. Sad. Very sad. Warren Stupidity Jun 2015 #154

I think your post demonstrates who does and who does not undertand it. rug Jun 2015 #176

It does. I even gave you a working example of correct usage. Warren Stupidity Jun 2015 #178

Assuming the criticism is accurate. rug Jun 2015 #180

This post notwithstanding, I rarely reply to nonsense. rug Jun 2015 #138

So rug, do you agree that there should be more lions? Warren Stupidity Jun 2015 #142

See 138. rug Jun 2015 #143

Still no answer. Sad. Very sad. Warren Stupidity Jun 2015 #147

So you have the sadz, warren? rug Jun 2015 #148

I do rug, I empathize for you. You are usually better than this. Warren Stupidity Jun 2015 #163

Did you not read 138? It's not very long. rug Jun 2015 #174

Maybe he'll annonce it in A&A the way he annonced he allegedly had me on ignore. rug Jun 2015 #137

You might consider using it. Warren Stupidity Jun 2015 #155

Feeling the need to publicly announce an ignore list is what's awkward. rug Jun 2015 #175

poor rug. So misunderstood. Warren Stupidity Jun 2015 #182

poor warren. getting no traction. rug Jun 2015 #184

lol. truth be told ignore is boring. hrmjustin Jun 2015 #159

Really? Warren Stupidity Jun 2015 #111

I can't help you if you think political mrder of a religious group is humorous. rug Jun 2015 #99

Maybe this will help Cartoonist Jun 2015 #115

Is this drawing a counterproductive atheist meme? Yorktown Jun 2015 #30

So -- you don't think that line is funny? immoderate Jun 2015 #32

No. Nor would I find a line about Armenian genocide funny. rug Jun 2015 #49

Context is important. "Too many Amenians..." immoderate Jun 2015 #52

Do you have a witty line about the Holocaust as well? rug Jun 2015 #57

It's not as funny as Armenians? immoderate Jun 2015 #62

You support the RCC phil89 Jun 2015 #56

Hmm, the Op is about counter-productive atheist memes, not counterproductive deflection. rug Jun 2015 #58

Except that actually happened Lordquinton Jun 2015 #94

So did mass murders of religious groups during the Roman Empire. rug Jun 2015 #96

You are wrong Lordquinton Jun 2015 #100

"never happened" rug Jun 2015 #102

Yep Lordquinton Jun 2015 #107

Except it's posted repeatedly and frequently by many internet atheist "crusaders". rug Jun 2015 #50

Did you not read Atheist Crusader's response? Warren Stupidity Jun 2015 #54

Did you read the OP? rug Jun 2015 #61

So it seems you didn't. Warren Stupidity Jun 2015 #74

If it's getting posted so much, why the scant search results? AtheistCrusader Jun 2015 #63

I cannot speak for your Googlefu. rug Jun 2015 #64

It's a meme. Google can do image matching. There is no 'fu'. AtheistCrusader Jun 2015 #66

Yes, it is embarassing. rug Jun 2015 #67

So, you going to start checking these ridiculous hatchet jobs you post, AtheistCrusader Jun 2015 #69

Oh, get over yourself and your ridiculous characterizations. rug Jun 2015 #71

It is. 161 hits for that image on Google shows it for what it is. AtheistCrusader Jun 2015 #79

Did you Lordquinton Jun 2015 #89

Subtlety is not your strong suit. rug Jun 2015 #97

You're in no position to judge Lordquinton Jun 2015 #104

There are other, more popular, iterations of this. cbayer Jun 2015 #156

That's 5130 hits, much less if I exclude the Christian book by the same name. AtheistCrusader Jun 2015 #160

The point is that it's a meme, popular or not, and that there are other memes. cbayer Jun 2015 #165

A meme is simply an idea, successful memes replicate because they are AtheistCrusader Jun 2015 #167

I have had people say this to my face and meant it for real and in jest. hrmjustin Jun 2015 #65
