Everyone should watch David Attenborough's Witness Statement video again and ask not if the Prophet cartoons offend, but if they are printed with soy ink on a 50% blend of recycled paper mixed with pulp from well-managed forests.
And then calm the fuck down about a little cartoon.

religion is just the ultimate example of staying on-brand. fuckin catholic church has managed to hide centuries of everything from child abuse to outright war from the eyes of their followers because of repetitive talking points. fox news is the same way. it's all just messaging.
anyway, the cult with the best combination of best arsenal and brand management will win the post-apocalypse sweepstakes for multi-generational influencing and the lot that comes with it

Really interesting photos to be honest, so much story. Eg, his pants, says 'MEN' and has he pee'd himself? Or is that blood?No muscles yet wants to be a tough guy... his mother is devastated, her face etched and weathered from the work of raising her son, who is now injured in the photo above, after carrying out an act of terror, in the name of:

I was watching a talk shown about some Iraqi immigrant in Sweden, and he said something along these lines: After he moved to Sweden as a teenager, he lost his faith. He felt it was easier to turn to God only when he had some kind of adversity in life.
The shittier life you live, the more protection you seek from the great bearded alpha-male with knee-long penis:
https://www.qbn.com/topics/38532…Religion gives hope to people in despair, as some kind of last resort. 1st world countries are largely atheist exactly for this reason (they have no need for it), except for some few of us who manage to suffer in non-economical ways (for example, problems related to love are universal).
If put under life-threatening pressure I think everyone of us would pray to God, but until then enjoy your carefree atheist life.
- I used to pray to win at arcadesscarabin
- lol the bigger the wins, the more you pray to be able to give more, that's how religion truly worksgrafician
- the point of religion is to make you be humble and to give more and help out your fellow human...grafician
- the whole point of religion is to make you be a good samaritan, don't get it twisted brografician
- ^christianity of the braindrgs
- no religion says you need to be stupid, on the contrarygrafician
- not to mention all the ppl thinking their religions when then didn't even read the good booksgrafician
- they're religious*grafician
- the problem is with all these idiots using religion to justify their [usually bad] actionsgrafician
- it's all checks and balances, karma and all thatgrafician
- so yeah, if you are given more, you need to be more, you need to give more, whatever you give, you'll get 10x this is no zero end gamegrafician
- I'm not saying religious people are stupid. Religious people (normal ones) are unhappy/desperatedrgs
- you are desperate when you're unbalanced. Find or keep your balance, any god will reward you for it.grafician
- the funny thing is no presence or absence of deity will absolve you of your deeds, if you're ok, ppl will notice, if you're not, ppl will notice that toografician
- also don't confuse religion with belief - those are very different thingsgrafician
- How goddamned fucking narrow minded can you be to discuss religion in general and only be speaking about Christianity. Holy shit.monospaced
- The idea that people need religion to be good samaritans is the biggest crock of stinking pile of shit ever. Only an asshole needs religion to not be a dickmonospaced
- People do bad shit regardless of religion. And most atheists are the most moral people alive.monospaced
- @mono have u even read my posts, I said any god! and what did religion did to you that you're so against it? lol chillgrafician

the word gave us ancient religions and the scribe gave us ones we still have until today. Protestantism could be said to be a product of the age of print; Scientology and a swathe of random new age attractors the product of the radio and TV ages.
what new religion will the internet's global collective form?
- I'm guessing something to do with K-Pop.Nairn
- IncelismPhanLo
- Atheism.Morning_star
- Atheism predated all religion. It is arguably the default setting until tainted by someone’s version of a myth or fairy tale.monospaced
- I'm really unsure how you could say that with any amount of certainty.Nairn
- Perhaps the seed of consciousness itself relies on the idea of A.N.Other; Ying to the Yang - and from the offset, Sky Daddy's peering in.Nairn
- I'd actually suggest the concept of God, or some Greater Other, came before language.Nairn
- Appleism. With a minority of Googleists.shapesalad
- Are dogs atheists then?
If we could transfer our conscience to dogs would they believe in god then? Would that make us God's true children?palimpsest - If you only believe in one god then you are basically atheist because you are saying the other few hundred aren’t real. Atheism is just one further.monospaced
- Of course it’s true. All concepts of god are man made. Therefore atheism is default until told to believe a concept or they make one up themselves.monospaced
- Do we know when god was invented?palimpsest
- lol a God exists even if we write it in the books or not...grafician
- And when did consciousness begin? If science could give us the dates we could finally disprove the existence of God.palimpsest
- Nobody knows if any god exists.monospaced
- And what religion says god created human consciousness? Ridiculous.monospaced
- Every being on the planet with the brain capacity for it is conscious. Derp.monospaced
- @mono. Atheism is a (dis)belief and requires a deity, it ISN’T a default position.Morning_star
- So you're saying, absolutely, that animals don't believe in God, or some sort of otherwise Higher Order?
I'm not sure how to test this.Nairn - I'm fairly sure that cats don't believe in God.Nairn
- At least, not one we humans might consider to be on our side.Nairn
- "All concepts of god are man made" - mono. I'm also unsure how this could be qualified, absolutely. it's a messy subject.Nairn
- What I'm saying is that the idea of god comes with conscience. Therefore, we are not by default atheists. Unless we can give the dates on when each appeared.palimpsest
- If we could separate the dates on the appearance of conscience and god.palimpsest
- And my mind uploading to a dog wasn't a supposed case.palimpsest
- I’m certain that consciousness appeared way before the concept of ‘god’. There is some compelling evidence for spiritual behaviour in primates.Morning_star
- But God predates the concept of 'god'?palimpsest
- pre dates, predates
Read it each way.palimpsest - I think God is the product of a Religion. ‘god’ is the Prime Mover, the Creator and doesn’t require religion. It follows therefore that ‘god’ came first.Morning_star
- I like it when QBNers take things a step further.
You don't believe in God but you believe in 'god'?palimpsest - I think it’s a very complex subject, and to try and do it justice in the limited side notes would be a miracle :) That said, the problem I have with...Morning_star
- ...’religion’ is the dogma and doctrine. God requires adherence to a sect: Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Sikhism etc. ‘god’ encompasses Everything, All, The....Morning_star
- ...Universal.Morning_star
- .... and is more of a concept than a belief. It’s more like Dawkin’s ‘God of the gaps’ conceptMorning_star
- Atheism doesn’t require a god to exist. It just means one doesn’t believe one exists. It’s not complicated.monospaced
- For example, most Christians don’t believe Zeus, Thor or Krishna exist. They are atheist in that sense I suppose.monospaced
- If there is no god(s) there is no atheism.Morning_star
- Personally I think the universe is perfectly amazing as a natural occurrence. All evidence points toward that and it’s awe inspiring.monospaced
- Yeah, but imagine there was a God sitting on a layer atop of that, fucking with you, just Because.Nairn
- The world only gave us flora and faunai_was
- The belief that technology like AI, ML, are actually more than man made. That will be the new religion. We already see it starting to happen on the fringes.nb
- Give it a century, you’ll see!nb

Turkey protests France.

One of the chosen ones, on a mission of peace, in the name of their god, murders in France:
https://www.theguardian.com/worl…Then....
Earthquake hits Turkey:
https://news.sky.com/story/major…
Do those who really believe in their prophet and religion interpret the earthquake as their god telling them off for the murders in France?
- nah, God does not appear when you call Him in convenience lolgrafician
- How do you know it wasn't France that sent and underground nuke?
It's happening!palimpsest - or... is 'their god' telling them they didn't do enough? You know some clown is thinking it. I mean... I thought of it... *honks red nosePonyBoy
- lol arguing about religion is silly, God love you anyway...grafician

...and shortly after arriving there coined the term “orgone” – derived from “orgasm” and “organism” – for a cosmic energy he said he had discovered, which he said others referred to as God.

- CONTEXT the earliest example of the principal symbol of the Christian religion is satire... vskingsteven
- almost every depiction of
Muhammad is a criticism of islamic fundamentalism...kingsteven - almost every image of Muhammad you will find plays on negative Muslim stereotypes...kingsteven

- That's amazing, never saw that before. Anyway I guess Alexamenos got the last laugh as his religion eventually took over the country and continent.yuekit
- yah, try putting a donkey head on Mohammed and see how that plays out.hotroddy
