*edit* You guys are right, its better this way. The extra text was an afterthought anyway and it did ruin the overall scene a little.

Hahaha!
I like this.

I don't like the bit in the circle, but I like the rest of it.

what dont you like about it?
you think its offensive or just shit? Im curious...
( op op op op op largely very dangerouse, Wed 5 Dec 2007, 22:57, archived)

I think it is a bit shit in a 'cheap shot' sort of way
and it detracts from an otherwise excellent picture.

Sort of like when someone does a really funny animation and then puts a lolcat over it.

I only mention it because I like the image apart from this, so it is meant to be constructive critisism.

I would tend to agree
on the simple basis that I don't think denigrating someone else's faith is usually justified.

Sure, if you have a genuine grievance or criticism, fire away. But a "ho ho ho, you have an imaginary friend" message, to me, says:

I don't understand your faith. It frightens me. I am superior to you because of it. You are an idiot, and I know better than you.

I only respond to this because it's something that bugs me on here sometimes, and it's not a criticism directed at onephilosophy. We're all guilty of knee-jerk reactions, but playing to the galleries for cheap laughs is surely one of the lowest forms of wit.

I disagree....
"I don't understand your faith. It frightens me. I am superior to you because of it. You are an idiot, and I know better than you."

I think that was a bit harsh

there are plenty of people who were raised in a particular faith and when they've grown up, developed their own opinions and beliefs and decided that what they were "fed" as a child is shit.

If someone believes god doesn't exist, they have every right to express that belief. and if someone's going to be offended by that then I think that this isn't the forum to be visiting.

Just as it is my right not to believe in God it is someone else's right to believe in God.
Saying 'God is your imaginary friend' is not being atheist, it is actively seeking to irritate those who believe.

I know plenty of people who were raised as atheists and then found faith, just as plenty of folk lose their faith.

Tolerance, cockweasle.

thanks for the constructive critism both of you.
Its interesting how a cartoon character actually pissing on the baby jesus is more acceptable than the comment i put in the circle, but i do see what you mean. Anyway i editied it and i prefer the original idea without the text. I do forget that just because im a hethan cunt doenst mean everyone else is!

You know,
I never even noticed it said "Manger Douse" until just now. Suddenly it makes a lot more sense, and is even funnier.
