Jesse Custer : "Like they say, there's no atheists in foxholes"
Bullshit
This image doesnt take into account the effect of comradery in combat. We were trained, as soldiers, to form a bond with one another. You have to know, in the heat of battle, that you can perform your job knowing that you can trust the soldier beside you. There is no room to wonder if you can trust your life to those around you. Without that bond then you would waste valuable reaction time wondering if you were safe to your right/left/wherever before doing what you needed to do.
While obviously many people will have some religious affiliations there are those that do not, but will take part in such moments to maintain that bond.
I mean, think about it. If you have views that vastly differ from those around you, do you think the best place to air them out is in the middle of a war zone? When the shit is hitting the fan the last thing you want is an undermining of comradery between you and someone who you have to trust your life with. An athiest is pretty much forced to take part so as not to stand alone.
Now, stick a picture on the net with a priest porking a little kid and tell me thats not just as much a propaganda marketing image as this one.
And finaly, who's to say that everyone in that picture is not a fundie in some manner? There is just so many things wrong with this level of propoganda and bullshit ...
Apparently, fstdt.com is now a member of their "Short Bus Rider Hall of Fame", and we are all supposed to go whine to our mamas.
Very well. "Mama! Mama! The other children made fun of me today! Waaah! Waaaah! This porridge is too hot! Waaah! Waaaah!" Oh, that put me in my place. Or not.
<<< Apparently, fstdt.com is now a member of their "Short Bus Rider Hall of Fame" >>>
I wouldn't have thought they'd give such a dubious award to a site that "honors" so many of their own.
Oh, you mean the people who comment on the posts and run the site, not the ones quoted on it. Well, that just doesn't make any sense.
In order to go whine on some more sites, I would have to have done it on one to start with. I haven't, partly because I consider my personal life private and partly because I don't have any stories like that.
Aside from that, it'd be tough for me to blame anything on God when I don't think he exists.
I have no intention of continuing any sort of flame war with you - it doesn't look like it'd take much effort to win, but it's still more trouble than it's worth. If you actually post something that's worth responding to, then I will respond. Otherwise, you will be ignored.

What color is the sky in the alternate universe you inhabit? I ask merely for informational purposes.
"Short Bus" isn't even a remotely clever insult, much less total "pwnage". ]]

What the heck IS this use of "pwnd" (I've also seen it elsewhere as "pwned") and "pwnage" that I keep seeing on the 'Net, anyway? It certainly isn't English; is it Welsh or something?

It's an intentional typo for "owned". See http://www.catb.org/~esr/jargon/html/O/owned.html (definition #2).
Hmph. I can understand the origin of the root term, then, but that doesn't explain why people would intentionally type it wrong (especially when it's so nonsensical as to make the word totally unintelligible). Oh, well, this site is dedicated to just such wrongheadedness anyway; might as well make use of expressions like this here as well.
