BendyLine Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 While I don't share the same visual impairments as Leo (I can generally get by with magnification as opposed to a screen reader), as a visually impaired person, I'd like to thank the people in this topic who made an effort to describe these pictures to those of us who are hard of seeing.

It might be a good idea to edit your first post to include that reminder so any newcomers should see it right away before posting. By the way, cool thread idea.

Neverlandrut Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 I'm a member of a secular Facebook group that shares memes from time to time, and I want to share some of them on ex-c but they never seem to fit into an existing thread. So I'm starting this thread, for posting and discussing clever/handy memes that point out the many factual and logical problems with the bible. Please share any good memes or textual tidbits you come across too. EDIT: Reminder to posters: please describe your images and the text in them because we have members who cannot access this information due to visual impairment. They read posts with the help of scanning software that can read out text but not anything within an image file. Thanks. Image below includes photo of a smiling woman holding a bible, with the following text: "The Bible is the word of God. But the Old Testament doesn't apply anymore, except for some parts; we determine what or when those parts apply. Only the New Testament applies, except for the parts we ignore; we determine what and when those parts are ignored. Some words are interpreted literally, and some as a metaphor; we decide. When parts contradict science, each other, are now immoral or illegal, they are definitely a metaphor for something. The entire bible is divinely inspired by God, though. [smiley face] Confusing? It helps if you don't think about it! Just keep smiling." Some claim that there are varying levels of "truth" to scripture, that the best application and interpretation changes with the times, that god intended it that way. Well that's all well and good except I can utilize any religious text that way, ignoring the irrelevant stuff or reinterpriting it into a metaphorcally applicable object lesson. Any story or text can be used in that way. That doesn't make the bible special or the word of some divine being. It just means that human beings are clever are deriving meaning. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Jeff Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 Meetings of the Trinity are confusing. Jesus is his own father, the Holy Farter is Jesus's father, and the Holy Spook is as well. Glory! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreeThinkerNZ Posted November 7, 2014 Author Share Posted November 7, 2014 Meetings of the Trinity are confusing. Jesus is his own father, the Holy Farter is Jesus's father, and the Holy Spook is as well. Glory! mettingtrinity.jpg Image shows a cartoon of a cloud (god), a ghost (holy spirit) and jesus. A voice from the cloud says "Jesus! I am your father". The ghost says "So am I" and Jesus says "Me too!". Caption on the image says "Meetings of the holy trinity were always a bit confusing".

FreeThinkerNZ Posted November 8, 2014 Author Share Posted November 8, 2014 That's very considerate of you to think of others. I feel strongly that people with disabilities should be assisted to be as independent as possible. Helping out means they don't have to ask someone to read it out for them, they can access the information on their own just like sighted people do.

◊ crazyguy123 ◊ Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 This is a hand-drawn image of two parents and a child wearing bland, brown robes; the parents have Bibles clamped shut over their heads, with only their eyes and a few strands of hair coming out and the mother is about to clamp a Bible shut over the child's head. I've seen this image before and I'd say that it's one of my personal favorites, since it accurately depicts indoctrination into Christianity. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ravenstar Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Can we not tag pictures with a text description in the reply options? If not this might be a good thing to have set up. I know how it's done on my web building software, but not on a forum like this. Any tech-savvy members here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
