Really? How many official atheistic rituals are performed per week? per month? per year? How many atheistic personalities do you see/hear on the radio / television (talking about atheism, not about pizza)? How many atheistic politicians do you know (probably very few, since it is political suicide)? How many times per year is an atheist ringing at your door to tell you the wonders of atheism? (I get several calls per year from the jehova's witness and other groups, trying to convince me - very educately - that their religion is "the good one - tm")
I heard people are going to the church (or synagoge, or mosque, or whatever) every Sunday (Saturday / Friday) (or they should ...), and they are very freely and openly telling everybody how much they believe in their choice of god.
Compared to the publicity with which believers are living their faith, atheist's non-faith is very introvert.
Which is according to the nature of the thing - why would you be talking about your non-beliefs all the time? Basically, we all have so many non-believes (an atheist has only one more than a believer) that there is no material time to talk about them.
Of course whenever an atheist breaks this code of silence (like poor madengr just did above) with a single sentence (not a three hours prayer - mind you!), it clearly proves that atheists are exhibitionists.
All this makes your joke a very stupid joke (since its logic is broken)
EDIT: added more ranting
- monk_e_boy 11y agoIt's a reddit circlejerk repost. He's fishing for upvotes.
- cup 11y agoBased on your response I think the joke was actually critically perfect. You feel hook line and..
- gonvaled 11y agoSorry, I must be dense, I do not get it
- nemo 11y agoThe joke was that atheists (along with the others listed) are inclined towards outspoken rants at everyone. You responded with an outspoken rant to the joke.
- gonvaled 11y agoA) the joke was that atheists are exhibitionists, not that they are ranters. BAD joke. B) In case the joke was meant to include ranters, the same case can be made that religious people are generally more ranting inclined. BAD joke. C) I do not say anywhere that I (the ranter) am an atheist, which makes the whole point moot
