I recently posted on Facebook this statement "Religion if the Tool of the Psychopath", and I had a really bad reaction from a person who must be Christian, but who calls herself an Agnostic.
I do think there are some trolls on here pretending to be something they are not.. ironic isn't it, what are they trying to prove anyways..
@mistymoon77 yep, trolls have a tendency of not showing their face or bother with a bio but they post a lot of bullshit.
@mistymoon77 Why, they are trying to "save" us, no doubt. Totally for our own good, of course! (LMFAO!)
@mistymoon77 Years ago on AOL Astrology chat every 5 minutes a bible thumper would start spouting "You devil worshipers are all going to hell!" I tell them "You are going about this the wrong way." and they would try to say some bible quote out of context. Pointless!
I think we have clearly seen that psychopaths do regularly use religion as a tool. Its right to say that if its what we clearly observe.
The tool of the psychopath, absolutely. Voltaire said it perfectly, "if you can induce them to believe absurdities, you can get them to commit atrocities." Hitler did it, Nazism is a religion; Oliver Cromwell did it invading Ireland in the name of Anglicanism; the Crusaders caused the blood in Jerusalem to be ankle deep, according to eyewitness historians. The list goes on and on.
@mudhen I have always maintained that religion is a mental illness.
@phxbillcee saving us sounds like a “fun” hobby that they wil never win.
funny on the surface and then just kind of dissolves into pathetic. sorry to crash the party. just sharing my reaction.
I disagree, It is funny period. Religion is the bad joke.
@DerekDerek whatever. chalk it up to having different opinions, tastes, whatever. the joke ultimately is not about religion. and despite what the OP says, it's particularly negative toward women.
@crazycurlz I happen to agree that men lie and cheat more than women.
Women take a bum rap because of the so-called bible. I say so-called because it's a trashy novel.
@crazycurlz I see you point as it is a man talking about a woman, but it could be used in the reverse...Comedians making jokes for laughs...that is all it is to me. Life is too short to get offended easily.
thanks, @LeeSpaner1 but, I think women cheat too. @DerekDerek I don't know if you do see my point cause MY point is that this wasn't a woman joking about a man. Again, on the surface funny because it looks like a biblical joke but take a second look and it's really negative on women. Also, I don't feel offended. I'm older. I feel like I have the right to voice my opinion.
Women do cheat, NO doubt about it. Maybe I don't see your point, though, as it was a joke clearly about religion and you saw it as an attack on women everywhere. You turned it into some liberal rhetoric and I find it hilarious. This is stupid to even go on with a conversation about a joke. Good day.
@DerekDerek well, that's a leap. I'm not liberal. I'm progressive. And, yes, I agree, sometimes it's best to end with we agree to disagree.
@crazycurlz I think I have to agree that this was meant to be a joke about the bilble being a pack of lies. It could just as well have been a woman making the remark, don’t think it’s meant to be misogynistic.
I do agree with you 100%. & while women cheat & lie too, they don't do it nearly as much as men do. More than half of divorces are due to male infidelity. Men themselves admit to cheating more in survey after survey. I think there is still an attitude that a woman cheating & lying is worse than a man cheating & lying to justify why these sorts of "jokes" are so much more commonly directed at women. We are held to higher standards of behavior.
OK - why can't we reverse gender here:
I knew him in a biblical sense. And when I say that, I mean I don't believe a word he says.
How do men feel about that statement in reverse? How do women feel about that statement with genders reversed? What is your very first thought?
Men and women both lie. Women are just better at lying!?
@Trussell2069 How do you come to that conclusion?
My very first thought is that it applies equally.
@Trussell2069 yeah, I think lying ability can't be attributed to one gender or the other any more than the ability to run, jump, or climb a tree. In other words, I see good and bad liars and everything in between in both genders. Wouldn't it be fun to have a lying contest between genders and see what's what?
I think it's a perfect thing to say about Trump and I'm going to go post that in my feed right now.
It works both ways. No misogyny here!
@BrigittaCuadros "How do you come to that conclusion?"
Kind of off-topic, but that is just the right question to ask, in a variety of situations. I started asking this instead of "Why's that", and people realize they're expected to give their chain of rationale instead of just their current mood. It's remarkable how many people you can stump.
As for your actual question, this particular one wouldn't bother me either way, and I suspect it's because it doesn't outright say "women/men are such-and-such". I don't know the skit, but with the given information, it's suggested he's referring to a specific person, so I can't conclude that gender even factors into it.
Was the disclaimer added in an edit? To me it is equally funny no matter which two genders are involved.
Did you read what our lady Mistymoon77 posting the joke wrote? "This could go for either gender, just a great one liner"...gender is not the matter here but the word playing and the fact that the bible has no words to believe. If Sarah Silverman had said it instead of Jeselnik, she would quote a "him" and it would be equally funny to me!
This guy is hilarious. If you don't mind some "sick" jokes, see his Netflix special "Thoughts & Prayers". I miss his Comedy Central show.
I love sick jokes.. I have a demented twisted warped sense of humor so ya.. bring it on..
@mistymoon77 My kinda gal! I saw above that you've heard some of his stuff, so you are forewarned. His Eric Clapton joke from that special is surely twisted, & that's just one "dead baby" joke!
Yeah, I've watched that one several times on Netflix.
@birdingnut So have I, just to try to memorize most of his jokes!
If it's streaming on Netflix I'm gonna watch it!
I'd never join a club that had me for a member
I believe that's a quote from Groucho Marks .
Groucho is the kind of great puns like that one.
"This morning I shot an elephant in my pajamas. How it got into my pajamas, I'll never know."
Some of his quoted are kinda sexist or gross, but still funny, such as:
"Behind every great man is a great woman. And behind her, is the man's wife."
@Cast1es Definitely Groucho!
I definitely could have used this line on a past few relationships...
Yea, but it's always afterwards that you know.
Well they do say that people tend to be wiser with the benefit of hindsight.
@LetzGetReal Maybe... but more like just, from an old bastard.... me
He seems to be an educated moron who gradgeated the 3rd grade twice, or is that double ott, no matter he's an idiot.
Who you calling an idiot, foo?
And what grade did you graduated from?
enealk, I like to think of myself as an honest and up front person, so if you have to ask who I'm calling and idiot, I could say it's you, but you may be asking sincerely as to the writer of the post or the meme, to ease your mind it's the idiot in the meme, so if I'm wrong, and you're not sincere, you can join the meme and be the idiot.
and while I'm on a rant, I'm ok with people using a nick name with a pic, but nick name no pic, you're in a basement closet, I'm a proud Atheist, I use my real name and pic, I refuse to hide my true nature, all my friends know I'm an Atheist, I say nothing here that I wouldn't to any of my friends that are religious, I really dislike when people insult anonymously, I understand how some people feel the need to protect themselves, and that I may not share the same problems as you do, I don't have a situation in my life that allows someone to hold this against me, once you are in a situation, that no one can hurt you for being different, you can feel the freedom, My job is not to convince others that they are wrong about their religion, but to let the life I live show my merit, report me, be pissed at me, but I'm no foo, foo.
@DoyleHefner I hear what you are saying .Like you who I am what you see is what I am
I used to be a schizophrenic but we're OK now!
Anthony Jeselnik is one of my favorite comedians. He's one of the few comedians who manages to catch me off guard on a regular basis. And I love that nothing is off limits in his comedy. Dark, irreverent humor speaks to me.
He is a funny guy, I have heard him a couple times.. very intelligent man that brings humor into things you wouldn't normally think of.
I’m watching him now on Netflix.
omg someone get this off my feed. I am so tired of this headline.
Do you know where I can find the whole show where he says that? It's great!
You can google it, you can find anything on the internet or ask seri...
Netflix
HaHaHa.
I almost had a psychic girlfriend, but she left me before we met.
Now that's really funny, in a lingering, pithy way! Good One!!
I thought less about morons then the more I thought about the more I knew their were and are pathetic morons. Meant that yesterday.
Wow! 433 “likes”!
and counting.
@mistymoon77 I like it
We already had that one last week! Give us something new!
This is the best way to describe my ex husband 8)
Mine as well.
Once, a long time ago, I told my Dad that his god wasn't worth the paper He was written on. I should copyright that and put it on a T-shirt!
Except God didn't write ANY of it!
This has gotten so many laughs with me and I also found out many of my religious friends don't have much of a sense of humor.
Mocking their God, no they tend not to laugh. Shame as they're missing out
I actually saw this guy live! It was intense. Unforgettable.
Have you watched Ricky do Noah's Arc?? That is toooooooo funny!!!
