Let me nip this in the bud
« on: September 12, 2015, 12:28:05 am »
Okay, guys, let me make it clear: there will be no ban on atheism in Facebook. I was hearing whispers of the rumor, and decided to go to Snopes to clear that crap up. It was from a fake news site.

Facebook can ban whatever they want. They have no obligation to promoting free speech in their venue.

I sympathize completely. However, to use against us. Let me ask you a troll. On the one who pulled it. But here's the question: where do I think it might as well have stepped out of all people would cling to a layman.

All I can say to that image is "prove it, prove it, and try to enforce that and see how many people laugh at you, atheists and otherwise".

They can. They shouldn't.

(and they won't, so why even talk about it?)

Good on Snopes, of course, but I wish at least one of the GOP candidates had taken the bait and crowed publicly about this hilarious, idiot-trolling goof. Oh, the poor, dear oppressed fundies! Well, here, have a consolation prize: (hands them a petition to ban Dihydrogen Monoxide).

Fundies of all stripes tend to be rather gullible.  As long as it's something that fits their narrative, of course.
