The 'atheists deify Darwin' joke would be funnier if some actually did. But even his Rottweiler is happy to criticize Darwin: "I enormously admire Darwin. He's the founder of really everything that I do. Of course he was wrong on many things..." (Richard Dawkins). Replace 'Darwin' with 'God' in this quote and find a believer who can continue it!

I find this funny, but religious believers may not. - I find it just as funny, but it proves my point. No religion has all the answers; so why bother with them. Find your own satisfying answers, if you can.

Taking the axe to religions: - Third panel down the page: - http://www.neilpeart.net/xtras/index.html - I find this funny, but religious believers may not.

Here are youtube copies of the original versions of the Eric Idle / Monty Python songs. - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JWVshkVF0SY - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jHPOzQzk9Qo - The English Atheist (Mrs Gumby) web page used to have a music and whistling only version of "Look on the Bright Side of Life" which I rather liked, but via my new link I don't get any sound, alas. - Of course this is not my own philosophy of life. In its way it is as unbalanced as the hymn "All Things Bright and Beautiful". I believe in seeing the ugly and the beautiful, i.e. being realistic.

Here are a few (slightly edited) gems from the Penguin Dictionary of Modern Humorous Quotations: - 1) Someone asked Bertrand Russell what he would say when he died and was brought face to face with his maker. He replied: "God, I shall say, why did you make the evidence for your existence so insufficient?" - 2) "An atheist is a man who has no invisible means of support." (John Buchan) - 3) "Atheism [is] a sort of crutch for those who can't stand the reality of God." (Tom Stoppard) - 4) "Go to church this Sunday ... avoid the Christmas rush." (Graffito) - 5) "In real life, Keaton believes in God. But she also believes that the radio works because there are tiny people inside it." (Woody Allen) - 6) "I'm a man of no convictions ... at least I think I am." (Christopher Hampton) - 7) "The trouble with born-again Christians is that they are an even bigger pain the second time around." (Herb Caen) - 8) "If I had been the Virgin Mary, I would have said 'No'." (Stevie Smith) - 9) "Every day people are straying away from the church and going back to God." (Lenny Bruce) - 10) "I do benefits for all religions ... I'd hate to blow the hereafter on a technicality." (Bob Hope)

Thank you, Mark. This forum is open to anyone who can read and write. I wonder if there will be a response to my correction making all equal.

Brilliant, David! Just what I was asking for. This would be on a level with the others, rather than superior. You should see if they'll accept it!

Brilliant post, George! Thank you. There's as much truth in a laugh as there is in a tear.

Can humanists not laugh at themselves? I though that was an essential part of humour. - Mark: Does this help: Atheist, etc.: - Age: Starts during teenage rebellion. 5/10 - Wealth: Per individual, but atheism more prevalent if loaded with it. 8/10 - Follower dedication: Fanatical. Constantly implying how dumb everyone else is.Signs on buses. 5/10 - Daffiest doctrine: Deification of Darwin. He is named "He Who Cannot Be Criticized". (Somewhat like Mohammed) 10/10 - Weapon of Choice: Polemic books by Dawkins, Harris, etc. 8/10 - Easily offended: Never. Superior attitude over all the deluded religious. 9/10

Thanks for this link! But why is the secularist/humanist/atheist card the only uninteresting unfunny one? Can humanists not laugh at themselves? I though that was an essential part of humour.

Check out the Agnostic card! - http://newhumanist.org.uk/1915 - I thought there was an earlier thread on humour or jokes, but couldn't find it, so started this one. Some people need to lighten up a bit anyway.
