Wow Reddit really did migrate here
Yes, how dare I punch down on the poor Mormon Church!
I never accused you of punching down lol
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?”
*Crickets*
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.

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

So you don’t know about:
- Bill Maher
- Bill Hicks
- George Carlin
- South Park
- any comedy movie that involves a religious character
- the Internet
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)
Yup, I’ve heard this one before as well. Got anything new to add to the discussion?
Someones upset their church is only 95% in charge
You lost me at “their church”.
Do you? Your only replies are just you being shocked nobody agrees with you.
You okay, bro? You seem upset.
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
Please tell me how south park poking fun at you,
Not me.
But you’re not talking about that, you’re mocking an individual for being religious.
Isn’t the boss a position of authority?
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.
Ah yes, makes 100 bln dollar profit illegally and tax free, pay 5m fee as punishment. What a fucking joke.
And not just any reddit, but 2010 reddit – in both the best and the worst ways.
