Yet another pic inspired by wading through the dregs that are posts on Fundies Say The Darndest Things.

There is one recurring theme I've noticed throughout almost every single WASP-ey screed that the Fundies like to post.

They LOVE to make straw men.

So I've satirically compiled all their little pre-conceived (Probably deliberately) notions about Atheists into one handy-dandy little caricature.

The High School diploma is a reference to how so many of these Fundies love to laud how much better Home Schooling is than Public Education.

The gun is based upon the recurring remark that Fundies have made that since Atheists don't believe in the bible or in god, they have no moral standards and are free to do whatever they please undeterred.

The protest signs say, for those who wondered:
"Christopher Hitchens 4 Prez"
"I Hate Christmas"
and "I <3 Taxes"

Everything else really bears little explanation.

If it wasn't for straw men none of their arguments couldn't stand up.

Brilliant! Sadly, this is how many fundies see atheists. I'm a Christian, but after reading that site, I'm beginning to wonder. I guess what and who "God" is depends on your interpretation of him/her. I see a loving god, and fundies see a hating god. So I guess we're not really worshipping the same God at all... but who's interpretation is correct?

Maybe he/she is like the VOCALOIDS - anything you want him/her to be.

Some fine points...Though I don't really know what the Vocaloids are.

VOCALOIDS are artificial singers. They sing using recorded voice clips that have been sythesized to the point where they have a vocal range that no human could match. They all have unique designs; eg, "Hatsune Miku" is a blue-haired girl with a leek, "Kagamine Rin" and "Kagamine Len" are mirror images of each other, female and male respectively. The best part about them is that none of them have defined personalities; they are anything you want them to be.

I sorta see the Judeo-Christian God like that; anything you want him/her to be.

Tsk tsk. You forgot to mention that we also kick puppies and eat babies.

Eh, I just figured: Why repeat myself?

This is a fairly offensive stereotype. If you were joking around, it's okay, but not ALL atheists are like that. Some actually RESPECT religion.

Yeah. It's a joke. I mention that in the blurb for this piece.

I'm an atheist myself, and these stereotypes I've heard on fstdt.com irk me. Hence the caricature.

Lol, this is great. I'm a big fan of F.S.T.D.T., and this is spot on. Those fundies, always good for a laugh.
