Actually, it seems that this would have been funnier if the tag line of the cartoon was "I don't believe" instead of "I can't believe". Athiests CAN believe, they just don't.
Leela: how can you speak for someone you do not know? I find that odd.
Also, you might enjoy that my grandfather used to rail against cardinal Bernard Law in the Boston Area because they were "a bunch of crooks" and the largest land owners and "there's something wrong when the church is the largest owner of property in the state". A few years ago we find out that Cardinal Law knew about all those priests who molested little boys and I find out that "wow, my grandfather was right!"
It's hard/painful to believe in a god that lets his front men behave like that, free will or not.
Zero, thanks for your polite and rational reply. I have one question though. Didn't we go into Iraq to find their weapons of mass destruction, not to free them from a dictator? At least that is the rationale we were told for starting the war. If the mission changed once we were there, then well, the mission changed, but as far as I recall we went there to prevent them from attacking us with their weapons of mass destruction. Freedom was only mentioned once nothing substantial was found IIRC.
On another note, glad you're back and hopefully healed up and doing well. Thanks for serving.
Yo Shannon, I'm nowhere near as rich as him and on my vacation, I fly halfway around the world on my own dime, and donate to schools in Africa. It's not about what you want to do with your money, it's about how you can use it to help others grow.

I think you mean "Are those 55-gallon drums or BBQ smokers?" Or "Is that a 55-gallon drum or a BBQ smoker?"
One would never say "Is that a 55-gallon drums".
As an atheist, I can't believe that's not funny.
MTV simply promotes kids to grow up thinking the world owes them fame, and how to be a prima donna.
