Oh god, are we doing Reddit Atheism on Lemmy now? This sucks shit
What's more annoying than a Reddit atheist? Paying taxes to support your shit church
I'm not Christian, and don't go to church. I agree that churches shouldn't get tax breaks.
I still think memes like this are deeply, achingly, cringe
What do you mean? This isnt cool anymore? /s
why are internet atheists so embarrassing man... this is literally the same thing as showing a physics book and saying "proof that physics exists" thinking you made an excellent point.
Thing about physics books, you can literally go and prove every single claim in them by yourself, if you have the required technical and intellectual capabilities.
That's why they're fundamentally different to the quran, the bible and Spiderman. Those three consist to a large extent of completely unfalsifiable claims.
that's why it's a stupid way to make the point. the image just says "they believe it because a book exists" which is not true.
also it's one thing to not have respect for religion but you gotta respect the hyphen; it's spider-man.
The image doesn't say "they believe it because a book exists."
The image says "they think the existence of the book is proof of its contents."
no it doesn't. because it wouldn't make sense to add spider-man in that case.
Bible believers and quran believers actually do point at their books and claim they are proof of their religion. No spider-man (there, I added the hyphen for you) reader, religious or not, big comic nerd or not, would ever say the comic is proof of spider-man's existence because of course that's ridiculous. So adding spider-man to this meme does make a lot of sense - putting them in contrast, hoping to make people understand how illogical it is to treat certain man made works of fiction so completely differently than others.
You're so close but still missing the point.
The spider-man comic is supposed to be the silly, unbelievable example. It's not supposed to make sense. People don't believe in spider-man just because there's books about him, but they do believe in God/Allah for that reason. But that's a silly reason to believe in anything. That much is obvious with spider-man, as you seem to understand. It's less obvious with people's dieties for some reason.
You're entirely right, yet also entirely missing the point.
The proof of Physics existing isn't in the book, and no physicist would claim you take what's in the book on faith, nor that it's unquestionable, nor that other books on physics are lies, nor kill/lynch/shun people for studying the universe through other perspectives like chemistry or mathematics or biology.
Asked for proof of Physics, physicists make predictions that can be reliably reproduced, not telling you to read the Physics book harder.
Regardless, everyone is new sometime, why not provide links, a counter argument or anything useful rather than just deriding them? This way you mostly come off as an ass who doesn't understand the argument.
It makes them feel euphoric
There is no Spider-Man but Spider-Man, whose truth was revealed to us by the prophet Stan Lee, blessings and peace be upon him
Allah and God are the same god...
You say that as though the type of person who makes posts like this respects religious people enough to investigate and find that out.
Why would knowing that matter when it's all bullshit anyways. The Easter Bunny and Santa are actually the same person too!
The extended universe lore is just quite different between the fanbases
Both non-existent?
That too, I'm just pointing out the redundant lore references
Kinda absurd how many Americans expect arabic-speaking Christians to call God "God."
It's because they're racist ¯_(ツ)_/¯
This argument fails to account for how I feel. Reading Spiderman makes me want to be a better person.
Do not dare to draw our prophet Spiderman! You will feel the rage of Spiderman then!
Bring me picture of Allah!
…oh nooooo
thats not allah though, thats muhammad. No muslim believes he is Allah like christians believe Jesua being god himself
You’re right, the details were slightly off, but it still doesn’t change the fact that murdering someone over a cartoon because you think a book said you had to is absolutely unhinged behavior.
The Devil infamously appears in Spider-Man.
The Devil is (mostly) canon in the Christian multiverse.
I met Spider-Man at my 8 year old birthday party.
Conclusion: All 3 are real, or I'm not real. Advances in ontology necessary to say with certainty.
The spiderman scriptures have pictures, so I'm going with that one
Does this mean Spiderman counts as an illuminated manuscript?
