You atheists remind me of the people that went for a trip on the unsinkable Titanic! Not only that, you remind me of the first people who thought they could fly and jumped of the cliffs. OH I think they call them lemmings.

Because of the process called trial and error, we now can fly without jumping off cliffs.
Thanks, Scientists, Discoverers, and Inventors!
When was the last time a religious poobah actually did something to benefit the human race?
Not only that, you remind me of the first people who thought they could fly and jumped of the cliffs. OH I think they call them lemmings Funny you'd bring up lemmings, as they normally don't run off of cliffs . The only reason why we think they do is that a Disney filmcrew once drove them off of a high cliff in mass suicide because it'd look good on film.
So yes, lemmings are a pretty good analogy, but I think of people in organized religion when I hear of them, not us atheists.
Lemmings are animals that can´t help it, like gnus or the sort. And Titanic sank because of the imprudence of the Captain, that subestimated the iceberg. Insinkable meant that it was very difficult to sink by conventional means, not that it was invulnerable. And anyway, I don´t know what it has to do with ATHEISM.
"It will never sink" >> FAITH.
There was no evidence, there was naught but CLAIMS that it was unsinkable. It was built damn tough but for anyone to think it was invulnerable was stupidity on their part.
Of course even that claim's more scientifically acceptable than "god exists", seeing as its at least falsifiable...
Lemmings are most definitely people. They wear blue robes, build bridges, and dig with pickaxes.
Also, I think they are religious, because some of them are suicide bombers.
You know, whenever someone mentions Benny Hinn, I automatically think of Benny Hill. Now I've got this mental image of Jesus running around in fast motion, being chased by a bunch of rabbis waving hammers and nails in the air, all running around a church or cathedral or what have you, and the slow rabbi in the back who can barely keep up is lugging a cross around, all panting and sweating because the thing weighs like 50 pounds. At some point Jesus would try to hide in a changing room, only to be pushed out by a cute chick in her underwear.
Congratulations. You have reminded me of a cheerful little song that I heard people sing in college, about how God sank the Titanic to teach a lesson to humans about hubris. It was a bouncy, happy little song that reveled in the fear and horror of the drowning deaths of thousands.
It could only have been worse if it were about Dachau or Auschwitz*.
Thank you for your condescending dismissal of the pain and suffering of everyone aboard that ship.
*Admittedly, Dachau or Auschwitz or any other concentration camp will make anything worse.
Crap analogy - check.
Factual errors - check.
Takibg a myth to be true - check.
Fundie checklist complete. A perfect score.
Because lemmings ain't people, they don't try and fly off cliffs, and I really need someone to explain to me what the Titanic has to do with anything. In fact, if I'd been a passenger on the Titanic that whole experience would do even more to make me question the existence of a merciful loving god who would send so many good Irish, Italian and other assorted fans of his to a freezing watery grave.
"OH I think they call them lemmings."
Last time I heard, Atheists weren't wont to commit suicide because they knew that an 'afterlife' didn't exist. On the other hand, however...:
Waco. Jonestown. Heaven's Gate. Jesse Kilgore.
A definite case of...:

“You atheists remind me of the people that went for a trip on the unsinkable Titanic!”
Some of whom made it home despite the sinking. What’s your point? What part of ‘I don’t believe in god’ is comparable? Someone who doesn’t believe in icebergs?
“Not only that, you remind me of the first people who thought they could fly and jumped of the cliffs. OH I think they call them lemmings.”
Do you have any basis for this, or are you just trying to be insulting?
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
