I'm trying hard not to break pub rules with this. I have no comment about this link except to say that it gave me a smile. I recommend you have a look.

I always keep those things when they get handed out to me on the subway or on the street...they crack me up. There's one about Dungeons and Dragons that's fucking hilarious.

All I really know is that those few years saddled me with a faith in the redemptive potential of the imagination which, however flat, stale and unprofitable the world seems to me now, I cannot for the life of me shake. -Erik Davis

Yes, you're not full of ignorant stereotypes. Not in the least.
You do realize you're making generalizations about a group of people you have a less-than-total understanding of, don't you? Christians aren't all as stupid as the one who wrote that tract... no more than black people are all criminals or moochers (which of course they aren't). But opposing religions are easier to hate. There are people to support you when you openly generalize them... so you think it's okay to be prejudiced for some reason.
Try and think before saying something stupid and hate-filled.

Whoever wrote that comic is seriously fucked in the head. It made me laugh, but then made me feel bad for whoever takes that shit seriously.

Actually its totally sane to make fun of religious people. They are completely insane, and refuse rationality and logic. Why do you think I have to somehow be kind to their beliefs? If you go spouting clearly bullshit statements to me, and claim to know truths which you CANT know, then I feel I have the right to label you insane and a fool.

The problem is people who label ME a fool usually use some OTHER person as an example. The other person is usually a convenient dumbass that gives everyone an excuse to go "OMG LOL his entire religion sucks!" in response to what is in actuality just the acts of a lone dumbass.
People try to hard to find excuses for their pre-existing prejudices. The hatred isn't there because of the idiocy, the idiocy is just a covenient excuse to justify the pre-existing hatred.
Forgive me if I'm disinclined to take someone seriously when they think a few people constitute evidence that debunks an entire religion. I'll remind you that by doing so you're making judgements that include me personally, someone whose beleifs you don't understand, and yet claim to know are false. Don't be ignorant, recognize your own prejudices.

Im not saying a few people, Im saying literally everyone. If anyone refuses rationality and logic for some story then I feel I have the right to label them a fool. I mean come on man this is the 21st century, do we really need to keep dragging these silly beliefs along with us? We now have the technology to be like, wait those bright lights in the sky arent just gods staring at us, why those things are stars! Lets move on from this ridiculousness, I mean 'jesus'.

Konnrade, if you're not a fool, why worry? Everyone is gonna think something about you no matter, be it race, religion, or look, you're gonna be prejudged by people. As long as your cool, there's nothing to worry about.

I've got better pics on my pc. I had a vid of marines shooting the shit out of a bus carrying soldiers and then the side door opens up and some of them run out on fire. This was during the invasion.
I even got beheadings of Iraqi police, you can hear this gurgling? sound, meh, sick.

Some folks find it necessary to have faith in a higher power, I know it might seem archaic, but secularism has been around just as long as religion has.

yeah, you're right. I get too wound up about this sort of thing. I should start being more accepting of it.

It's all good. I have a very close Christian friend, and it only gets between us when he seriously tells me I'm going to hell. It really bothers me.
