Atheism,Islam and REDDIT-Juvenile.

REDDIT, the self-styled trend setter off free cyber views is known for its publishing of views of its readers, even if the are down right offensive and childish , some times both t the same time.

This freedom of Expression Champion would not have you commenting on the US stories!

Its stories appearing under Atheism are out right Rude and one gains the impression that the Atheists are insensitive and hare-brained.

To be an Atheist or a Sceptic in one thing but being intolerant , incohesive  and down right rude is another.

See a childish story below.

“My seven year old said “I’m atheist!”. I responded with “Why?“. After thinking for a minute, she came back with “Because they didn’t prove God and Jesus existed, and even if he was real, Jesus couldn’t walk on water, because they proved that wrong on Mythbusters! Adam had floaty shoes, but couldn’t move without paddles!”

So, my seven year old is now an atheist because of Mythbusters. Hooray for Adam and Jamie.

EDIT: Wow. Thank you all for the overwhelmingly positive response! 🙂 I’ve shared a few with my daughter, and she is incredibly embarrassed (in a good way). I never expected feedback to this incredible extent, so thank you!”

How an abstract thought can be treated with levity and mockery!

REDDIT abounds in these.

Now comes a complaint that Islam and Mohammed are beong ridiculed in REDDIT.

True.

But Islam contributes to these types of views by its history of violence and intolerance.

Best is to ignore the juvenile views of some of the readers of reddit.

Attention Muslims of the world: Better get your Muslim-ing in ASAP because atheist users of Reddit have decided to “go after”your puny religion. Rest in peace, Islam. You had a good thousand-and-a-half-or-so years but you’re no match for image macros and rage comics.

The atheism section of Reddit is a popular venue for insufferable non-believers to swap screenshots of the interminable Facebook comment flame wars they wage against their fundamentalist friends and Christian relatives. No religious-themed Facebook post will go un-commented on by these fearless logic warriors. But now Reddit’s atheism brigade has turned the full brunt of its attention to Islam, after a user claiming to be an ex-Muslim asked for their help.

Finally, someone on the internet will criticize Islam!

Often these sorts of campaigns end up in a frantic fundraising drive, but it looks like thebus monitor lady has used up all the internet’s money-raising mojo for the week. Instead, anti-Islam memes are flooding the front page of Reddit; Lolcats for people who sleep with a copy of God Is Not Great under their pillow. There’s a “Scumbag Muslim”meme, and a “Most Interesting Mohammed”meme, and this cartoon about how Islam has been “raping children for 1400 years” that is like something your 75 year-old racist great uncle would forward to you in an email. In fact a lot of the memes that Reddit users have been voting to the front page in their supposedly witty “war” on Islam are predicated on the same gross stereotypes of Muslims as rampaging terrorist-rapists favored by the likes of the shithead Pastor Terry Jones. There’s even a similar obsession with burning the Quran. (That last picture also happens to use a Hindu to represent a Muslim. But what the hell, they’ve all got turbans.)

Atheists on Reddit decrying a religion as the practice of intolerant douchebags is as ridiculous as… well, atheists on Reddit decrying a religion for treating women like shit.”

  1. While I agree the memes and such are childish, some actually have good points on actual issues within the Islamic community. Again, just some.

    What I’ve seen that is more important is the posts asking for more information about the religion since most europeans/americans just don’t know because it’s not a large part of the culture they grew up in. This however is not mentioned here and leads me to take you a lot less seriously due to the clear bias.
