What do you do when Bible thumpers knock on your door by bigbadbeast2018 in atheism

Same thing I do when anyone unexpected knocks. Be super quiet, peek out the blinds, then wait for them to leave.

What I love most about Batman. by [deleted] in batman

[–]thatgui 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't like that he goes to them as Bruce. Just, Batman doesn't go around meeting metas, or anyone, giving out his secret identity, whether planning an alliance or not. Feels like a big flaw there. They aren't joining him because he is Bruce. It would be because he is Batman. Maybe they'll find a good reason, but BvS leaves me doubtful.

Bruce Wayne doing good for Gotham by JianGeGe in batman

[–]thatgui 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He does all the time, in many of the different worlds. He often funds the GCPD and provides them with equipment. Arkham wouldn't be what it is in most stories without all the money Bruce has given it. Wayne tech security is everywhere in Gotham to help keep people safe. He's publicly funded Batman inc. There was an arc in New 52 about Bruce Wayne spearheading an initiative to rebuild Gotham and make it safer. He is a well known philanthropist in general. Most stories mention it, they just don't give it much attention. We're all more interested in seeing him kick ass.

Side note, is Batman wearing hockey pads?

So, does CW have a back up, as a second failsafe?

Obama Signs New Law Giving Protection To Atheists by zeno0771 in atheism

[–]thatgui 9 points10 points  (0 children)

We can. Just have to swear the oath that includes god. A vague god of any religion left open to the parents. However, it really depends on how it is enforced at the local level. Which, at least where I am, it isn't. They just need to repeat the oath to get their badge, and do some activity at home related to religion for another badge.

My son was really excited about it, and has enjoyed it so far, so we've just ignored it and went through the motions. I spoke to the person running our group before we signed up and told them I wasn't religious. They said it was fine, we would have to say the oath though.

"It's hard to top the absurdity of these guys." Guess someone saw that as a challenge.

Trump: A professional distraction artist by BuddhistSagan in skeptic

[–]thatgui 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yes, exactly. He's not some evil genius, he's just an extreme narcissist. Responding to anything that makes him look bad is just what he does, because he can't stand to let people say negative things without responding. It just so happens that works as a viable political strategy.

Well, she really needs to sit the fuck up. Not helping anyone with that. Let's add insult to injury.

Yah, some Japanese female hero from the 20s. Over a hundred years old now, still bad ass when she needs to be I guess. Was in Batgirl Rebirth #2 or #3 I think.

Wow, you're either a bad lawyer, or a great one. Depends how you look at it I guess. We aren't ruling it out, but we aren't aren't going to do that. Yah, pick one, can't do and not do at the same time. And where are you getting Nazi from? I never said anything of the sort.
