Friendly Atheist

The right-hand person could be an Atheist, a Buddhist, a moderate Christian, or just about anybody except a fundie. The left-hand person could only be a fundie, though.

I have the sinking feeling that the person in the left panel actually represents a significant number of people, maybe even a slim majority in this country.

justin jim, I was thinking the same thing. I hope we’re wrong.

Actually, the fundie would phrase it this way: “It’s in all of our natures to steal, and the penalty for having that nature is eternal damnation, and the only way out is to accept Jesus as your personal savior.”

Of course, fundies never consider that if we have a fallen nature, whose fault is that? If we fell from grace right out of the starting gate, there had to be something wrong with the blueprint. But this never occurs to them.

And, yes, I agree that they are in the majority.

I simply don’t trust anyone who claims they get their sense of morality from their religion.
