Yours was ok, primoa. ;0)

I think the Loch Ness Monster one is really funny, makes me giggle when I hear it...

Answer 1

I laugh at atheist and Pagan jokes. When they actually have some measure of truth in them, or when they're ridiculous enough.

(I'm still laughing at the Christian who started the AM, even thought I think she was partly serious...)

Answer 2

can't tell the shaggy dog tale by way of fact too many Jesus people will cry and whinge and it's going to be censored from the blogs. in spite of the reality that, i understand a lovable, yet in step with hazard offensive Catholic shaggy dog tale. The Pope arrived in manhattan Saturday night for a Sunday morning mass. He became into excited to be in manhattan and had his limo driver take him around to work out manhattan. He have been given annoying and asked the limo driver to alter locations so he canchronic. Like maximum Popes, they do no longer understand how tochronic so a police officer stopped him and asked him for his identity. The officer then went back to his automobile and reported in to headquarters. "Yeah, headquarters, I in basic terms pulled over an extremely important guy or woman and that i can't provide him a fee ticket." Headquarters spoke back, "no person is particular. you will desire to provide him a fee ticket." "Yeah, yet this men is unquestionably specific." the officer defined. "Is he the president?" headquarters asked. "No!" "Is he the governor? "No!" the officer aswered. "Is he the mayor?" back the officer aswered, "No!" "If he's isn't the president, or the governor, or the mayor, then who's he?" The officer spoke back, "i do no longer understand! yet he's so important the Pope is driving him."

Answer 3

I can't come up with an athiest joke because athiesm isn't funny...it's sad. Like a kid that can't read or a blind man stepping in front of traffic. It's sad because even if you know the athiest is an idiot, that guy in the car is going to jail for no good reason, so two lives are ruined.

I'm a bit more complex than most people, and I've done a lot of thinking (which is unusual, i'd say).

I'm not christian, muslim, or any other religious denomination.

I'm neither nihilistic or agnostic.

I'm a scientist...but science doesn't tell you answers...it only tells you what aren't the answers.

What I believe is something more...

I believe that there is truth in life. Something did happen. The past doesn't just change randomly, even if our memories of it do.

I also believe that it doesn't matter how much athiests or christians (or whomever) scream at each other...if we don't make the right decisions we're all going to suffer.

If we don't stop that serial killer, s/he will keep on killing.

And if we ignore and neglect our children, then our children will ignore and neglect us when we're old and in need of their help.

I don't believe the bible should be scrutinized over word for word, because I'm pretty sure it wasn't originally written in english, and I'm sure things are lost in the translation.

But, I do believe that there have been people like me, or better, that lived in the past and could think as logically, and as clearly (or better) that found patterns and problems with the behaviour of people and societies...

and I believe they spent their lives writing about it in the hopes that the future generations wouldn't make their mistakes.

They were historians. And we all know that history repeats itself if the lessons of history are not paid attention to.

So, does it really matter if God exists? Is that even a question? Or is it like asking which way did the invisible purple spotted elephant go?
There is no evidnece of there ever being a purple spotted elephant, but even if there was it's invisible. So why are we killing each other over it?

I know I didn't create this universe. I know you didn't either.
I also know that to the best of our knowledge, energy is not created or destroyed.

Which begs me to wonder why any of this exists at all.

Is it a man with a white beard looking down on us from beyond infinity?

Is it a woman?

Is it some kind of magical entity that has no shape or form?

Isn't it absolutely ridiculous to ask questions about the structure of something that might not even be restricted by the laws of physics?

And what if this entire universe is like a single atom in a another universe of uncountable atoms?

We could speculate and imagine these things forever...and doing so will only waste our time and our lives.

Because the grass isn't getting any greener, since we stopped watering it.

The oceans aren't getting any bluer because we're not bothering to stop people from polluting it.

And we're not getting any smarter because we're not exercising our brains with logic...

And we're sure as hell not getting off our butts and exercising them, so their not getting any firmer.

So what are you doing, athiests and the religious? All you're doing is drawing a land in the sand between each other.

If a nuclear bomb drops on your house, I don't care how much you don't believe it's a nuclear bomb, or how much you believe God will protect you with a shield of love...you're vapourized. And so is everyone a hundred miles around you.

So maybe...just maybe...it's wiser to focus on stopping the cause of those bombs falling on your house NOW, instead of spending your life trying to develop the ability to cast magic spells, or encite divine intervention.

The only reason I even bother to write any of this, and will continue to write it, is because I know my future depends on how YOU people behave.

I can try to mind my own business all I like, but if my country goes to war -- I am affected.

If a bomb goes off in my neighbourhood, even if it didn't kill me, I'm affected.

If an atheist robs me because "there's no retribution", I'm affected.

And if I fall in love with a girl and she's not capable of caring about anything but herself, then I'm miserable.

And if I fall in love with a girl and she's not capable of caring about anything but her church and what her priest tells her to think...then I'm miserable.

I could say I don't care what you believe, but just what you do...but the truth is what we do is greatly influenced by what we believe.

So, I do care what you believe. I care what every one of you believe because I'm afraid that despite what you believe...none of you know why you believe at all.

The only person who would ever want you to believe without asking questions is the kind of person that wants you to be easy to manipulate.

So they can get your money, your sex, or your very soul.

Maybe I'm wrong. You'll have to decide, but either I'm right and life is worth preserving...

Or I'm wrong and the best thing for us to do is destroy everything as quickly as possible so no one else has to be born and live through it.

Answer 4

Hell I could do better jokes about myself than the ones I see here most of the time.

Hmm lets see:
Why didn't the agnostic cross the road?
She didn't know which way to go.

How many agnostics does it take to change a light bulb?
We don't know as they have a hard time finding the right one.

Answer 5

Seeing how the only thing atheists have in common is no belief in deity, it's hard to make a joke about them. The best you can do is take a blond joke or your momma joke and modify it, and that's not really funny either.

Answer 6

Don't take life too seriously, or you'll never get out alive.

I try to even laugh at the non-funny jokes. I'm a giggler.

Answer 7

Man, when I first saw it, it was so full of win.
Some people actually complied and submitted funny ones.
Others were just saying stupid things while adding 'jk' to the end of it.
Others, apparently, have an inability to read and have no sense of humor and simply told us how unfunny we were MOCKING OURSELVES and told us we would burn in hell.
Aw poo.

Answer 8

He was asking atheist to make jokes about themselves to show they had a sense of humour he did not ask for believers to give atheist jokes.
Has it occurred to you didn't understand his question?
Lollie pops, candy....................

Answer 9

The odds of coming across genuine humour on any american-populated board is negligable.

American humour is almost as bad as German humour: primarily reliant upon such slapstick as people slipping on banana-skins.



I do find atheists amusing though....
Anyone who feels the need to label themselves distinctly by a lack of belief in something has their priorities screwed up.

As for my "kind" : Nihilists...
How many Nihilists does it take to change a light-bulb?



.... There is no light-bulb.

*coughs*

There is no humour either.
And therein lies the irony.
