        No, but I do think the anger over it is silly. If you don’t like it either don’t upvote it or downvote and move on. I haven’t upvoted it, to be clear.

          The only person expressing any anger is you getting upset that other people don’t like a meme that you also don’t like. Edgey atheism is a phase most young people who leave religion go through and grow out of.

        Not parent poster, but I downloaded it and sent it to my wife, lol. We both thought it was depressingly true; funny in a dark comedy way.

        So, I enjoyed it. Not sure if that makes it a “good meme” or not, particularly as the image doesn’t really add anything. Maybe the GOP or Fox News logo would be better? idk

      Let’s put the blame where it belongs. Asshole narcissists who want to control everyone by any means, whether it be force, deception, or a twisted interpretation of religion.

        Well sure, but you have to also remember that there is an entire country that bases its existence on the fact that their god gave them the right to that land, even if it means that nobody else can live there.

        I can agree with that, but a certain set of religions with thousands of years of history behind them certainly give a large number of these people a huge thing to hide behind and call it “religious persecution” when you point out their bigotry.

        In other words, they certainly don’t help the situation.
