All religious people should be executed

That’s a lot to kill, you are going to have to find someone pretty all powerful to do it.

Someone like…oh, I don’t know…SATAN?! :dubious:

Strangely I don’t think that genocide is very funny. To give an analogy, when a person tells a racist joke, it is not a sign of disapproval to join in the laughter. Creates a certain atmosphere when one does.

But the original post wasn’t a joke. It was a serious proposal. Taking your analogy, it’s like if someone said “let’s kill all the black people” and everyone else started laughing at him and swapping (non-racist) jokes about it. They’re not condoning him. Quite the opposite, in fact.

I believe it’s called PALATR.

Look it up on Urban Dictionary. It’s kinda new. Like as new as Internet message boards.

Hell with that–look it up on the Straight Dope.

Mutant was trolling, so calling it a serious proposal gives it a tad more dignity than is really deserved. This thread’s purpose was “hey, lets all talk about how much we hate religious people” and, in that framing, jokes about how it would really be a mercy somehow seem supportive. Especially given the people who weren’t actually joking.

This is really more attention than I had any desire to pay to this steaming pile of shit. I think I’ll check out of this thread now.

I have to agree with some of the comments above. I certainly approached it with a ‘make fun of the ridiculous OP’ approach. I can certainly see how the high road would be not participating.

I don’t mind if a mod closes this now. It was fun for a while but now the humourless twonks seem to have showed up.

I’ve decided I actually prefer the religious people to humourless atheists. Who’d have thought - you’ve nearly converted me.

Should’ve killed all the humorless people first, then the rest is smooth sailing.

Yeah, humorless people make the zombie baby Jesus cry.

I would like to read a New Testament based on forgiveness for eating brains.

From what I recall, The Bible was distinctly lacking in gag material, although that bit about the talking snake was some funny shit, right there.

I think the Last Supper could have used a pie fight, myself.

I’m praying for you.

This is, of course, not generally accepted as a way of getting on the good side of someone who wants to annihilate you because of your irrational belief system.

1. There are not enough atheists to carry out the executions.

2. One would have to have a lot of faith to be convinced that this is the right thing to do. Athiests are notoriously short on faith.

3. I’m guessing there is a very high correlation among political and religious conservatives and gun owners. Many of them actually mean it when they say, “You can take my gun out of my cold dead hands.” I am not interested in a lifetime of firefights, nor getting rounded up myself and put up against the wall when these folks get organized.

So, no.

Better off convincing them that God wants them to die and join him in paradise. How would one go about removing the stigma from suicide?

If death by cop was good enough for Jesus it should be good enough for his cult as well

There is exactly one joke in the old testament, and exactly one in the new.

[ivan_astikov]

Go on then, the suspense is killing me.

I see what you did there.

Ah, prayer – the very, very, VERY least you could do. Literally.

Go back to your bridge.
