Seriously how can we take the atheist viewpoint seriously when ridiculous things like this are asked?

If a Christian’s butt was on fire but it said in the bile, “Your butt is not on fire,” would they deny it?

Wow... I thought atheists were masters of logic and common sense.

Update:

OBJECTION: I have a great sense of humor, something just has to be funny first.

Update 2:

MO in the middle: You thought it was funny? Kind of belies the "atheists are smarter" belief now doesn't it?

Update 3:

The Kitten: I get the point she was making, I just can't get past the premise being so ridiculous.

Update 4:

Jesus...Lambs: Whose mad? I think it represents atheists and there thinking quite well. Kind of like your ID does. Is Junior high out for the day?

Update 5:

Dream a little bigger: Of course you would, immature people often think like that. Jokes are typically funny.

Update 6:

JD: You don't get irony do you? I'll explain it to you later.

Update 7:

Derchin: fair enough... I sure hope you don't claim her.

Update 8:

SaintCog: Satire is clever, this was not.

Update 9:

Christianity kills kittens: "idiot"? Really? Okay, poopy pants... (I needed a comeback matching your level of sophistication, how did I do?)

Update 10:

Natasha: I agree, it's a push. No hard feelings.

Update 11:

So-crates: It doesn't make you an imbecile. Although telling me how smart you are makes you a bit egotistical. I'd say your just immature, as it's a subjective opinion, I'm entitled to it.

    Lol. I wonder from where do they come up with this type of question? I bet they spend hours to make it sound silly.

    Trust me, most are here for fun.. Really pathetic!

    The problems with atheists "sense of humor", "highly" intellectual condescending Q&A:

    They report christians for much less offensive and even correct answers.

    Answers like that do not follow YA guidelines.

    They think it is "funny" (dish it out) would not be willing to receive such verbal attacks.

    Where is their tolerance they claim? They don't seem to understand tolerance doesn't mean accepting and being respectful to only those they agree with.

    Just like atheist write crazy things like this so do religious people. A while back there was a post from someone saying

    "Atheist do you realize graffiti will last longer than most of you."

    Not only is it not funny but its offensive. So you really don't have a right to say you can't take us seriously when there are people on your side who write things like that to us as well.

    Satire is apparently lost on some people.

    2 Corinthians 10:5

    The fact of the matter is this. They would deny that God had anything at all to do with it and it was Satan to blame for their burning butts. (Good Question!)

    Scott - I find it interesting that you equate comedy with IQ levels.

    I have a high IQ as measure by Intelligence tests, I am a college graduate, and I have a great career. I also enjoy "potty humor". Guess that makes me an imbecile in your book, huh?

    Just because you do not find it funny doesnt mean that it is stupid.

    Atheists don't believe in gods. That's it. Nothing else.

    I thought it was kind of funny, and I don't care if you take me seriously or not.

    ADDED: I also like South Park and Stephen Colbert. If you want to believe I'm stupid, go right ahead. I suspect it won't be the first time your beliefs have conflicted with reality.

    Yes you do need a sense of humor but you say something has to be funny first, but something doesn't have to be funny to be recognized as a joke idiot.

    There was nothing at all wrong with the question. It points out that Christian fundamentalists are so authoritarian in their thinking that they are even willing to deny visible evidence if it contradicts their religious beliefs.

    There's idiots everywhere. Religious views (or lack thereof) are not always the best indicator of someones IQ.

    OMG. Generalization.

    How can we take religious people seriously when they say things like this:

    "Fossil bones do not come with little labels attached telling you how old they are. Nor do fossils have photographs with them telling you what the animals looked like as they roamed the earth long ago." - The Lie: Evolution by Ken Ham

    or this:

    “You can’t preach the Bible without preaching hatred.”- Fred Phelps

    “God doesn’t hate them because they’re fags; they’re fags because God hates them.” - Fred Phelps
