Akshully ... it's more like telling them that they'll just seize to exist, neither going to heaven nor hell, nor anything before or in between.

I mean, I like Lord of the Rings, but I don't believe in it. I know it is existing fiction, just like any "holy" text.

    Whooooooooosh

    Hell -> fake place atheists don't believe in

    Mordor -> fake place christians don't believe in

    Still doesn't make sense. Christians believe in hell; neither Christians nor atheists believe in Mordor. It doesn't make sense as an analogy and I don't find it funny. Also, it's only wooosh if OP intended it as a joke (would still be a bad joke). Are you OP?

    Look out, we got the joke police over here :3

    Telling someone they'll end up somewhere they don't believe exists is as effective as telling someone they'll end up somewhere they don't believe exists. Does the pairity seem more obvious from this angle?

    The word 'like' is semantically wrong here.

    Christians saying something they believe to be true is like atheists saying something they know is false.

    No it fucking isn't.

    Ha ha bad analogy much funny, u joke police.

    Yeah, if your humor is a potato.

    Fwiw, that was the first thought I had too! Really funny that everyone is all uptight about a comment they thought was being uptight but began with "akshully". Unless people do believe in mordor, perhaps they do. Ha.

    The downvotes somewhat surprised me. I had expected an atheism community would attract more critical thinkers who'd immediately spot and point out the logical fallacy. But, oh well, it's still just the interwebs and its fake points 🤷
