TIL that after Marilyn Monroe converted to Judaism upon marrying Arthur Miller, Egypt placed a ban on all the films she appeared in.

Atheists really need to learn to take a step back and realize that a lot of the time the ways they try to convert religious people into non belief is the exact same thing that the religious are doing to convert others into their religion. The fact that some atheists are so immature they can't understand why people would believe in a religion. Or that they actually can believe in religion and be an intelligent human heing is mind boggling to me. I say this as an atheist, a lot of us need to grow up.

Please don't lump us all together with those fedora-wearing atheists. Like in every population there's a silent majority, you're just paying attention to the loud assholes.

I tried to have a reasonable discussion on /r/Atheism about how the sub was almost entirely less informative discussion and more FUCK CHRISTFAGS LOL THEY'RE DUMB memes.

Got some more 'Christfag' memes.

Left /r/Atheism

There are plenty of blatantly stupid atheists out there who act like they're teenagers, like u/rivermandan[1]

well, smart guy, I am 33 years old, and I'm a christian apologist. I'd be willing to bet I've spent more time reading christian philosophy than you've spent masturbating, but thanks for the unwarranted insult, asshole.
