All this does is get their placards more screentime, which is all they want. We really should stop paying attention to the WBC altogether.

We have a winner!

While I mostly agree, I think you'd be hard-pressed to find atheists that approach the WBC level of kook. That's a special kind of crazy.

Shiny, I am not saying that you are wrong here but I am wondering if you can provide any specific examples of atheist kookiness? Now remember, this can't be general kookiness, it must be kookiness that is specific to atheism.
Please provide the source where possible.
Thanks

What, you don't think there are any atheist kooks out there? I just don't have the poor taste to try to make a spectacle out of atheism by dredging up the lunatic fringe. I have the intelligence to realize that those people don't represent atheists as a whole.

Lots of comics make racist jokes. Carlos Mencia and Lisa Lampanelli are two that I can think of off the top of my head. They aren't being mean, they are merely making a joke. Carlos Mencia makes it a point to insult every race, color, and creed as much as possible because he feels we should all be able to laugh at ourselves. He feels that we should all be able to laugh at ourselves because we all have strengths and weaknesses to some degree, might as well laugh about them.

This comic has a job... make people laugh. If one person can't take it for whatever reason then they should leave. I love his Zulu joke BTW.

BTW, I am Italian. I have had my share of Italian jokes - even aimed at me. I laugh. My first name is Marco. I have had hundreds of people say "Marco Polo" when they hear my name. I don't care. I turn it back on them and pretend I have never heard it my life. Then they go off for about a minute trying to explain the (pretty much lame after several hundred times hearing it) joke to me. Inevitably they will mention kids playing Marco Polo in the pool. At that point I jump in and tell them that as a kid I only played "Marco {my last name}" in the pool. The look on their face when they realize that I got them is priceless. Sure I could get mad that someone is picking on my name. Instead I get creative and make their joke far funnier. One person told me that she told her son about it and her son told her, "mom, how can you be so gullible?" That was great to hear.

One of the person that tried this on me was an HR person at my current job. Later when she explained the company's no-name calling policy I threatened to report her for her "Marco Polo" jokes. She knows I am not being serious. I often remind her that I am stopping in later so she can help me fill out a complaint form against her. She still makes Marco Polo jokes. It's funny and we both smile.

Life is short. If you can't laugh at yourself then life will only seem shorter.

Sorry guys, I called dibs on her a while back. You'll just have to find your own comedian woman. I hear Lisa Lampanelli is available.

WALK AWAY FROM THIS AND NEVER LOOK BACK.

it's just the reasons he thought of, to explain why he doesn't think women are funny.
now, i don't doubt that he doesn't find women funny.
but, i do.


Lampenelli is funny no question. But she is a perfect example of one of the exceptions Hitchens mentions in his original essay.
