    Pretty sure atheists are smart enough to realize video games are a work of fiction, just like gods.

      I’d hope most are smart enough to realize this is a joke.

        Oh, I got the joke. I just think my joke was as funny. Nice to see it went over your head as much as you think yours did with me.

          I was taught if you don’t have anything nice to say to not say anything at all. Generally if you feel the need to add “just being honest” you’re probably just being rude.

              I won’t say anything to Trump, either… Or ICE. Or the NeoNazi’s. I’ll just be quiet. That’s the best thing to be, right?

              I’ll be quiet. I’ll be good. Don’t mind me, anyone… I’ll be good.

                Let’s target the gays. Shut up, gays. And let’s target the Trans people. Shut up, you. And let’s target the people who don’t fit in. Shut up, all of you.

                Fit in. Say nothing if you have nothing nice to say. Shut the FUCK up, you. Fucking shut your mouth.

                This is fine, right? Nothing nice to say? Shut the fuck up. Be quiet.

                Except… No. No, that’s not me. Is it you? Maybe it shouldn’t be? Maybe, just maybe, it’s okay to be “rude”. Maybe, just maybe, fuck the people who would silence us, because we’re being “rude”.

              I mean, he’s not really defending pedophiles, he’s just saying that some people like to hurt others so they’ll pick a group who are hated by the vast majority of people, so that they won’t face any repercussions. It’s more of a simple comment rather than a show of support for fucking pedophiles.

                The irony being that in that very comment I even almost added something to the effect of “because they use it as a shield, as soon as you criticize their violence they accuse you of defending pedophiles” but I didn’t think it was necessary.

                Thank you for trying to understand me instead of just seeing me as a monster.

                  No worries, I enjoy actually understanding what someone wrote down instead of imagining what I want to be written down lmfao.

                  Yeah sure, and the comment in the ttrpg memes community never existed.

                  Why are you even so invested in being angry against this other guy?

        I am not smart enough to read other comments before I say the same thing, though.

    It’s the same weirdness when some (usually) Christian Americans think it’s a gotcha when an atheist says “omg”.

    I hope they bring that same energy to themselves when they live by the weekdays that were all named after Norse gods or refer to the other planets in the solar system by the names they were given from the Roman gods.

    Omg did you just say WEDNESDAY? You believe in Odin, huh?

      Okay weird coincidence. I was at a park tonight trying not to mind my own business (there were food trucks) and I was right behind this lady and her son. She kept bugging him that he wasn’t really atheist because he kept saying ‘oh my god’ and he kept saying oh my god mom drop it and they seemed to be having a good time bickering. Anyways I finally had to pipe up “oh your god I think he knows if he’s an atheist”.

      I’d like to think he’s saying “oh your god” now too.

    The best thing about God of War is ripping up GODS!!! Just sad Christianity is monotheism. Would love to see what Kratos would do to Jesus.

      Just sad Christianity is monotheism.

      Depending on one’s definition of deity and the importance or reverence angels receive in a given denomination, the claim of Christianity being monotheistic isn’t necessarily true.

    Iirc Kratos is human, not god, and he’s killing god for revenge. If anything Kratos is THE atheist.

    Imagine how boring the gaming world would be, if the IRL existence of an item is a pre-requisite for creating it in game.

    No minecraft, PUBG, palworld, Zelda, lotr, mass effect etc… hell we would lose so much content that you could argue the reverse is actually true (for an item to exist in a game, it must not exist in real life) and it would probably be more accurate. Train and flight Sims would undoubtedly be king in this otherwise bleak hypothetical though, surely.

    BRB, creating a character action game called “Science of War”…

    …oh right, Metal Gear Rising Revengeance already exists!
