      The problem is that the joke is old and isn’t interesting. It’s like talking about weather and then claiming you’re Oscar Wilde.


      Person: “Hey, aren’t religious people wacky?”

        I’m not apathetic about religious people because unfortunately they continue to occupy positions of authority in our society.

        If religious people were actually dismissed in the way you describe I could understand your perspective. They are not mocked liked this though and are very much taken seriously.

            They are not mocking them for being religious. They are mocking their advice about logic, which comes from a religious person.

            Because you know, religion & logic don’t go hand in hand.

          unfortunately they continue to occupy positions of authority in our society.

          No need to pick on religious people in this case. There are plenty of people with various character flaws in positions of power / authority.

          If religious people were actually dismissed in the way you describe I could understand your perspective. They are not mocked liked this though and are very much taken seriously.

          So you don’t know about:

          • Bill Maher
          • Bill Hicks
          • George Carlin
          • South Park
          • any comedy movie that involves a religious character
          • the Internet

            Dude was talking about religion in government and your best rebuttal is people make fun of stuff on comedy shows?

              Culture doesn’t affect government? That’s new to me.

                Please tell me how south park poking fun at you, as they do with everyone, affects your ability to legislate. Last i checked the jokes haven’t stopped anyone from cramming their religion down our throats

            Notably those examples make absolutely no difference on how religious people in authority positions frequently use their religion to guide how they use their authority (which ain’t fucking cool)

                    I can use whatever word for church you want, bud, theyre all the same thing with a different title. Temple, parish, mosque, its all big rooms with a speaking spot up front
