Is "Jesus H. Christ with biscuits and gravy" a common expression? Whereabouts? I've never heard it before.
Jesus H. Christ with Biscuits and Gravy
Last week, my mothers- in- law gave me a gravy boat for a late birthday present. (Three gravy boats, actually. Long story.) This morning, Ingrid and I went out for breakfast, and brought home the leftover biscuits that we didn't eat. And this afternoon, when I got home from breakfast, I found a r...
What Jesse said.
In fairness, though, I must assume that all the points people bring up here are part of the multitude of memes that you find you need to repeat, hence the decision to start this meme collection. The point of this first meme is not to define atheism, but rather to refute the common accusation that atheists are certain the Christian god doesn't exist. Perhaps if it didn't read like a definition it would be clearer.
I am sorely tempted to form my own list of "favorite" misconceptions about atheism, and I may, but I won't do that here.
Atheist Memes on Facebook: The "100% Certain" Mistake
I'm starting a project on my Facebook page: The Atheist Meme of the Day. (BTW, if you're on Facebook, friend me!) I'm getting a little tired of making the same arguments for atheism over and over again... and I'm hoping to get the general public more familiar with the basic concepts of Atheism...

These people don't listen, don't accept any evidence, don't read any references other than AiG and similar material. But there they are, trotting out the arguments again. In their own twisted logic, they're saying, "Here come the atheists, with their tired bogus refutations, over and over again! Don't they know they're wrong by now?" You hope there are other people reading the argument who benefit from seeing the refutations, but you may never know, and it's very frustrating.
Atheism and Patience
So how often do atheists have to keep making the same points, and keep countering the same old arguments? Okay, that came out a little snarky. And I actually don't mean it that way. I'm quite sincere. This is my question of the day, a question I'm genuinely pondering: How often do we have to mak...
