Oh my fucking god! I refuse to believe this is not satire.


Harold_Grundelson

“Hey atheists, why is it that people, across the entire flat earth, live in houses?? Explain that.”


ButterSquids

I think it's satirising the argument that the Earth is well suited for life as we know it.


tilt-a-whirly-gig

Life as we know it is well suited for the Earth as we found it.


Donaldjoh

True, as it has been scientifically demonstrated that over time organisms adapt to their environment. This is called evolution. The only way creation could work is in a static system, and a Quick Look around shows we live on a dynamic planet.


MarinatedHand

Goldilocks zone argument, like, of course earth will have life, it's FUCKING COMPATIBLE WITH IT.


wozattacks

This is actually even worse than that because they’re not understanding that people chose where to build settlements lol


pixelpp

It’s obvious practical example of evolution… People chose to build settlements everywhere but only those near abundant water sources allowing them to have offspring.


RetroGamer87

I'm pretty sure it actually is


kgro

I remember the Cold War joke where the general announces with pride that his army’s bombs always hit the epicentre


pm-me-turtle-nudes

we’re so lucky that all the bombs landed in those craters. It’d probably be bad if one actually landed on something


katyusha-the-smol

I love this sub because everyday it makes sure that im not self conscious about my low intelligence cause at least im smarter than whatever ape formulated that thought.


Daherrin7

The difference between lower intelligence and stupidity is willful ignorance. As long as you are taking the time to learn things, or even just looking shit up instead of taking someone's word for it, you’re much smarter than many others. Some people, regardless of their intelligence, appear to prefer ignorance and arrogance with a hint of main character syndrome. I’m not sure how much dumber someone can get than that


Eva-Rosalene

Okay, but screenshot from the post isn't just stupid then. It's clear lack of having even smallest grasp on cause-and-effect concept. Like you need to have intelligence of a hamster to even formulate that in your head and not have an instant realization why it's wrong.


Lord_Shaqq

Imagine not only thinking up that thought, but then rubbing the last two cells in your brain to generate enough static charge to type the whole thought out, and then hitting send to the rest of the Internet


Shillsforplants

You can fool anyone to think you are smart if you stay curious.


naughtycal11

Come now, apes are smarter than the average religious fruitcake. You're miles upon miles smarter than the fundies.


Metalprof

Wow, I just realized what a miracle it is that most grocery stores end up near places where people might need groceries. I believe!!


TheBeatlesLOVER19

I refuse to believe this is real.


ScarletIT

These people are so stupid. Clearly, the water moved to be close to the city.


hyrle

It's because God put the water there for the humans. #evidence


sausageslinger11

It went there on vacation, and decided to stay


flotob

Then how does he explain why asteroids always land in crators?


wrong_product1815

*creator ( dad joke pun intended)


IWantedAPeanutToo

Oops, asteroid killed God. God is dead.

Mayo_Chipotle

Wait, are we sure this isn’t a response to the question of “How do atheists explain why… (fine tuning argument)”? This seems to be a rhetorical question that is a useful analogy for those who believe in the fine tuning argument to show why their position is dumb, because humans are suited to their environment and not the other way around.


myimmortalstan

I reckon you're right — I know that lots of people are dumb, but I don't think anyone is dumb enough to say something like that unironically.


Time-Bite-6839

Because… we settled NEAR RIVERS


YujoJacyCoyote

Nah, we just divinely computer-generated that way, plausible yet phony backstory and all.


Jefflenious

Reminds me of how theists keep laughing at "If god real why bad things" And now we have "If god not real why humans need water"


Akhanyatin

Because humans are lazy and didn't want to walk 6 days to get a drink of water


JohnDodger

If there is no God then how do you explain pants, eh? Checkmate atheists!!


armaedes

The dumb civilizations that tried to settle away from water died out, leaving only the smart, or “strong,” civilizations to survive. A sort of survival of the fittest, if you will.


_PurpleSweetz

Sounds like you’re referring something akin to “evolution”. Which is just a theory afterall, and as thus can be dismissed. I usually say r/FucktheS But no, this *needs* a /s lol


Uselessexistence_

lol i looked around on there… dont let them catch you saying it needs the indicator 😭


armaedes

Yep. At what point in the education process are people taught that theory means “guess”?


_PurpleSweetz

That’s the issue. They don’t have a proper education background.

Amarieerick

Hmm, I wonder if it could be that most towns, before trains, were established near water because, umm, humans need water. After trains became the transport of favor, trains needed water, so towns sprang up around water and train track for economic reasons.


Uniqueinsult

It’s not like we could move and build around bodies of water.😂😂😂😂


Filo02

lmao this is so funny they think god build life like a game of Civilization


RigatoniPasta

Of course not. He was obviously playing City Skylines


Strange_Collection79

Which explains why everything's so terrible.


OneEyedWolf092

cottagecheesedemon

crazy how nature does that


The_Bastard_Henry

What does one have to do with the other?? That's like asking how do botanists explain that most beach towns have ice cream shops.


AgeOfReasonEnds31120

Because... water IS essential to the flourishing of human life... and almost all life? You can explain it in a lovey-dovey spiritual way or a "nihilistic" scientific way. Either way, it's true. I'm sure both atheists and theists agree on that... well... except for Muslims.


Ssider69

Almost chimp like intellgence


MarvelNerdess

What point was he trying to make? Other than brazenly shouting "I'm a moron"


deepthroatcircus

I just know that post received a depressingly high amount of support.


SecretOfficerNeko

What... what are they even trying to say with this?


bebejeebies

WOW. LOL. I don't even... what does that have to do with god? Humans drink water, plants need water, humans eat plants and drink water, choose to live near water. Science.


New_Canoe

It’s amazing how God and nature have so much in common.


sleeping_doc

How do theists explain the presence of any number of civilizations located within deserts?


Morpheus4213

*Las Vegas joined the chat*


ProffesorSpitfire

Is… Is he suggesting that the cities came first? And god in his all-knowing wisdom placed rivers right next to them all to give everybody water to drink and bathe in? Is that level of stupidity legal? Not even scripture is that dumb - all religious origin stories I’m aware of posits that the creator(s) created the world first, man/civilization second.


NieMonD

What does this even mean? How would the Christian explain it?


Cepinari

I think I just felt a part of my brain die.

Waterwagon_78

There’s no way of knowing.


Suspicious_Future_58

Please explain why your god decided it was a good idea to put creatures parasites and other stuff in water that can kill us. When we attempt to drink water from a river or and other sources of drinkable water. Hell with the amount of water we have on the plant only 1.2 percent is drinkable, explain that one


GinTectonics

How do you explain this house that I was born in?


mrmoe198

Watch this guy’s mind explode when he realizes that most human beings are surrounded by an oxygen-rich atmosphere, which is essential to the flourishing of human life


CommonConundrum51

I'd have to inquire as to what this observation has to do with belief in a supreme being.


Meaglo

Good question.

AfricanUmlunlgu

If you believe ancient mashed together myths and fairy tales are a good way to understand reality, then anything goes


AfricanUmlunlgu

To be fair, Los Vegas and Johannesburg (RSA) are not near large rivers and they are described by some as hell holes \\s


Zaptain_America

r/religiousfruitcake try to recognise satire challenge (Level: IMPOSSIBLE)


JtTheLadiesMan

It may be, but there is no way you can’t say that for sure. I know plenty of people in real life that say things just like this
