Jesus, King of the Mews.
He spent three days in his tomb, tongue firm against his maxilla palette. He mewed for your sins.
Forgive them father, for they mouth-breathe.
Now go forth, and posture like your savior.

Good Christians busting out the calipers?
I am shocked. Shocked I say.
Atheists spend too much time looking down at books instead of down their nose at others.
I not normally for making fun of appearances but that what he's literally doing so,
Dude has his neck fully extended and still has a double chin. Rough
Freedom from something that isn't a thing but the lack of a thing.... So "freedom from nothing"
It's the same person... Does that mean they're both Christian and an Atheist?
pube neck
I thought everyone was God's children ... no matter the bumps on their head
Also you’re not supposed to concern yourself with the speck in your brother’s eye, but the plank in your own.
plank? ... they have a sheet of plywood on their face and they still believe they can see just fine
Hell yeah. Bring back phrenology
He should ask God for help with those eyebrows. Shit looks like burned french fries.
FFAF? Five fives at freddies?
Right-hand is any you must believe X person to be fair. All factions got them. Some do more than others.
Do you know of an extremist atheist group?
Atheism subs, gravedigger!
Apparently soviet's used to be. They purged/heavily discouraged religion. For example look at Germans faith depending on region. You find barely an non atheists in the east. They even had a group named militant atheists.
In political satire there is a long standing joke about religious freedom sadly not being about freedom from religion instead of religious freedom. But that isn't extreme and is funny.
You may find them inside of right wing terror attacks or incels terror attacks.
But I believe I talked about radical, not extremist atheists.
Communism is not based on atheism…? Is nazism christian because Hitler was catholic?

Don’t speak german, nor am I capable of comprehending why you would link a link about the soviet part of germanies relationship with the church at the question of ‘by your thouught process is nazi germany christian; are their actions to be atributed to christianity’
I didn't refer to your ridiculous point about Nazis.
…you didn’t refer to anything, you just put a link in? Superb!
How is it non-comparable to your ridiculous point? If Stalin was evil because of his religious beliefs which was atheist; then hitler too was evil because of his religious beliefs which was christianity!
Christian god was mentioned in the very first chapter of sieg hail; and his personal unit, the ss wore ‘in god we trust’ on their belts
I never wrote about any person's beliefs but about systems.
Ah yes! The communist atheist system, and the christian nazi belief are non-comparable because that would be counterproductive to your point!
The issue here being that the Nazis fought against the churches influence. Nazism is not rooted in Christianity. Norse and 'german' mythology was glorified more so than Christianity.
