    One of the reasons I generally avoid atheist spaces in spite of being an atheist is that they tend to be painfully humorless.

    But this one made me lol.

      The most vocal atheists tend to be people who just deconverted and the humorlessness is likely due to to still working through trauma.

      They also kind of have to learn humor as they go. Have you seen faith-based comedy?

        Yeah - most of the reason I generally avoid atheist spaces is that I’m third generation agnostic/atheist on both sides of my family, so the only thing I share with most of the people there is a lack of belief. And my lack of belief is about as significant in my life as my lack of belief in leprechauns or unicorns.

        I feel for the people who are trying to escape their indoctrination, but I don’t even begin to understand how religious faith even works in the first place, so I can’t relate.

        I don’t know what qualifies as faith-based humor. I love Monty Python’s Life of Brian, and I thought Christopher Moore’s novel Lamb was pretty good. And a lot of the authors I enjoy make fun of religion, but they make fun of pretty much everything having to do with society, so it doesn’t stand out that much (I’m thinking of like Douglas Adams, Terry Pratchett, Tom Robbins, Kurt Vonnegut…)

        I presume there’s narrower focused religious humor, but I’ve never sought it out, and I would expect that a lot of it would be lost on me.

    Make a serpent (and the rest of the story)

    Make a lot of pleasant, and really pleasant things to be sin.

    Build a hell for those who sinned. Put them there for eternity. Out of marriage sex? Hell for eternity. Was born in wrong country and became Buddhist? Double hell!

    Make a devil (pure evil) and make him a the hell boss.

    And make cancer for children.

      Neither and nothing needs to be disproven since it’s never been proven and is patently ridiculous on its face 🤷

    They forgot the step where god decides that it’s going to give human sex a try and see what all the fuss is about.

    How do I save images in the chrome app on Android?

    Also, how do I get it to let me pinch zoom?

      Normally, you can press and hold on the image and get a context menu that’ll include the option to save it.

      But that didn’t work for me on this one - I assume it’s something to do with the way images are displayed here.

      When you run into that, you can generally go back to the thumbnail and press and hold on it and get a context menu there. Keep in mind though that then you’re dealing with the thumbnail, so you don’t want to save that image. You want either Open Link in New Tab or Download Link. The former will give you an image by itself that you can manipulate or save, and the latter will download the linked image straight to your device.

        I hadn’t even thought to tap and hold on the thumbnail. Download image and link both seem to download the same file as the one that opens normally, so that worked, thank you very much!
