@xXDISASTERPIECE934Xx true, and that is what I implied.. no body should be ridiculed for what they think, unless it is something wholly dangerous to mankind. IE psychopaths etc..
I'm an atheist because I think superstition and logical plot holes are the core of all religious experience. Does God exist? Like a unicorn or a leperchuan; yes! The 'idea' is intriguing, but seriously falls away in the biggest and smallest details of everything.
@jeffro282 So that means it is just a pathetic opinion of a writer, everytime people say grace or go to church in ecery other TV show? Can't an opposing view be put out there with out it being written off as a pathetic opinion?
When people are seen saying grace or going to church in a tv show, it's generally because that shows a typical event for person, considering the fact that a majority of the population is religious. Just because a character does something in a show, doesn't mean the writers have the same standpoint or view on the subject. I know that the same could be said for Brian's Atheism, but Seth is known to be Atheist, and you can see the obvious similarities with him and Brian
@jeffro282 If you don't like it then don't fucking watch it, but obviously you wouldn't be complaining about the political and socioeconomic themes if you didn't actually watch the show, so obviously you enjoy the writing but you don't agree with the presentation of topics that modern society faces, but Seth Macfarlane has tried hard not to sell out and he's not going to personally tailor the show to you just because you don't like what he's saying, so either watch it or don't.
To be fair to Brian Meg was pushing her beliefs on Brian even going so fare as making him an outcast. He took it as long as he could and he did say he was sorry to her after losing his temper.
@DayNight91 well, like this cartoon, and the movie "all dogs go to heaven" they are just made up stories, much like the bible and heaven itself, they are all just make believe and all are not real in the slightest bit. So in your imagination you can do anything you want to, even make believe that dogs talk and there is a place called heaven. Just know that dogs dont talk, and there is no heaven. :)
OK fine, then let me just ask you this, if there were a God, would he have put you here on earth with a flat chest and a fat ass? I'm made in His image. Really, would he give you smoking hot mom like Lois and then have you grow looking like Peter? Well... And what kind of God would put you in a house where nobody respects or cares about you, not even enough to get you a damn mump shot?
I believe in God (my views are one God, many paths to God and all names of God are sacred) but I still enjoy Family Guy and thought-provoking videoes on YouTube about religion, God and atheism, especially ones like this which show that we get too hung up on religion and we ALL need to chill. Cute dog by the way. :)
Religion makes good comedy in Family Guy. Brian's voice is basically identical to what Seth MacFarlane uses in real life and he is also an atheist, so, cool.
I think brian (the dog from family guy) is suppose to represent the creator of family guy seth mcfarlane. the creator of family guy is extremely pro gay rights and an atheist. thats why the show mocks religion so much, and he uses is regular voice for the dog.
@420simpson Well you are wrong my firend. Brian is loosely based on Seth. The term is loosely based. An example Bridget Jones Diary was loosely based on Pride & Prejudice. The Flintstones was loosely based on The Honeymooners.
The dog is a family spirit; dog's neither speak nor have feelings; we do see it given a life of its own, and that is because after more than one season they actually had to write a story for the show; the dog spirit appears in everything they needed only self-service at the exclusion of other things--something weird. To be zany they also do insanity, so don't read too hard into this, but they do act out what dogs mean.
@satanicwatermelon --- This is really strange; I think my dog is an atheist too. She never prays before meals and the other day she chewed up my Holy Bible. Are all dogs atheists? Is it possible that all dogs are atheists just because they can't be brainwashed with dogma? Wow, if that's the case, it seems our enlarged cerebral cortex may have some side-effects.
Well, all my animals are atheists. But the dog I was referring to is quite curious. As a puppy when she heard barking on the TV, she looked behind it, never believes anything I tell her either. If I say "It's okay, this person's nice", she'll back-up and refuse to interact with them until she's observed them. If I say "don't play rough with the cat, he'll scratch you" she'll play with the cat and be scratched anyway. She would only believe in a god if she met one and it had treats. =P
@satanicwatermelon --- Yeah, my pooch is the same way. She likes anyone who gives her treats, BUT she just doesn't seem to appreciate imaginary treats or the promise of treats after death. I guess only humans fall for stuff like that! =b
Well, as long as she can see and/or smell the treat, she'll work for it. If she can't employ her six senses on the treat, to her, it does not exist. I think she's rubbed off on me in that sense. =D
like he said "just face it not one picture of a guy sitting on the Clouds what is he doing up their" or like posidon in God of war 3 said "you have disrecptected the gods for the last time.
and the beatles are popular then god or jesus A qote from lennon
My dog is an atheist too .I don't think I'd want a christian dog ,whatever that would mean .Or maybe a muslem dog ,he'd bite me for being an infidel .If I had to choose a religion for my dog ,I think a hindu dog ,then again it could be a problem choosing dog food that don't contain any sacred animals or parts thereof ,Nawh best stick with atheist pets !!
"But avoid foolish controversies & genealogies & arguments & quarrels about the law, because these are unprofitable and useless. Warn a devisive person once, and then warn him a 2nd time. After that, have nothing to do with him. You may be sure that such a man is warped & sinful; he is self-condemed." Titus 3: 9-11. Take heed of these words as a warning. "Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it."
Animals don't go to heaven so why would a talking intelligent one believe in it.
Lois said that because she's a slow mean bitch. That's her character. The only woman that would marry someone like Peter. She does eventually come around by the end of an episode and is usually pretty tolerant.
Brian rules. And atheism is mentioned like twice on the show, so stop saying it pushes a hard agenda. If you think that Family guy is making fun of you, that's your problem for being an idiot.
Jesus Christ.. Is it so abnormal for US citizens to see an atheist on national television? I knew the US has a big powerful christian movement, but this is just sad.. Over here in Holland it's more or less the opposite. Here it's kind of weird to see an outspoken christian on tv. They aren't taken very seriously by the way, but it's entertaining though.
Southpark owns family guy. FG is allways the same, and not nearly as rude as it should be. But hell, we've got hardcore porn at primetime...
@FritZz81 But I do agree that South Park is significantly better than Family Guy. Family Guy places targets, and is bias to the creators beliefs. It's more hateful rather than funny. Maybe if it were to make fun of everything it wouldn't be nearly as bad.
@FritZz81 south park is Nazisum Trey parker and matt stone are born in germany in Hittlers ass, face it if they mock Islamd them islams will run amock hear in britain im doing a protest to ban it.
@rednecktrucker1969 and you know what, I am going to get mad when it starts replacing shows I enjoyed watching, the fact there is no intelligence behind the show and people seem to be influenced for the worst. There is a corrupt side to organized religion, sure, but it's not the entire group. With family guy, it corrupts the entire group and that's pretty scary. Peace!
@saveaplanteatavegan Whatt entire group? If you don't like a church, you don't go to it.... If you don't like a show, change the channel. Again the show is not going to schools and changing the classes, the show is not building towers on ever street corner, the show is not imposing its beliefs on laws. It is just a show.
@rednecktrucker1969 I'm just being a smart ass. Stooping down to your own level, makes you feel like a dumbass doesn't it. As for going into schools and changing classes, the church doesn't do that and was never intended to, stupid people who are so radically driven to do so will try and do shit like that. It never gets passed, does it? The church is allowed to build other churches, it's called freedom of religion and tax dollars don't even support it so what's your point again?
@rednecktrucker1969 Do you also think every Muslim is a terrorist? You seem like that type of person. It's hard to avoide FG because it's gone viral. At least you can avoid church.
@rednecktrucker1969 I was just expressing my opinions based on my own experience. Family Guy is garbage, and it does affect me. Not only did it's other crappy show replace a show I watched regularly, It copies other people's ideas which should be illegal and there is no intelligent or moral point to it. It should have at least one and it doesn't.
@rednecktrucker1969 Family Guy does shove beliefs down your throat because it's bias. I used to watch FG but I got fed up with it. FG is on several different channels at the same time, or it's other show is on so it's hard to avoid.
@saveaplanteatavegan CHANGE THE FUCKING CHANNEL!!!! Pretty good bet that CBN and FOXNEWS are not playing it. If you have cable/satellite I am sure there are at least 5-10 religious stations that will never carry it. Funny I never asked for religious stations yet there are 10 of them in a basic cable package....hmmmm wonder who is really trying to force their views on the public....lol
@rednecktrucker1969 dude I had a point. you still don't get it and I'm not about to stoop down to your level again. Learn how to be an objective listener.
@rednecktrucker1969 I was raised as a Christian and I still like Family Guy.
Sure, the show (among others) has a slant against Christians, but part of that is because Christianity is probably the only religion that actually GETS that it's done in a humorous way, so they can get away with it without having hate crime charges or death threats leveled against them. (Remember what happened to South Park when they tried to do an episode about Islam?)
@saveaplanteatavegan Family Guy shoves it beliefs down your throat the same way church-goers shove their beliefs down my throat when they're at church: they don't if I'm smart enough to not go to them.
@rednecktrucker1969 It's lovely how you attach a humans corrupt behavior to a whole entire group and organization. way to be. thanks for proving my point. peace.
what's really pathetic is that people are bashing other political parties, stereotyping and really showing their low iq levels by doing so. I'm neither conservative or liberal, I hate family guy and if you think that show is smart for ripping off every other idea, abusing the same concept in 3 shows, and shoving their own views down your throat, go back to school. atheists are extremely hateful, more than radically spoken religious people, they're closed minded and arrogant
@saveaplanteatavegan Last time I checked...you could change the channel and not watch FG. However, the fundies that you defend so poorly, are in our court houses, and are trying to crate laws that make schools more like churches and literally force their views upon you. A TV show can do none of this, but the fundies sure can. Atheists are not hateful. Telling 2 year old and veterans wives they are going to Hell because they don't buy their brand of religion..that is hate, and fear.

@saveaplanteatavegan it isn't arrogance.It's frustration.How would you feel if you tried to explain to your children there is no such thing as the Easter Bunny, and they simply refuse to believe you and stay worshipping the damn rabbit till the day they die?Over 50% of Europeans are atheists, and growing.US 16% and growing, I bet your children will be atheists. If not, your childrens children will be. Nothing to worry about,every religion dies sooner or later.You tried your best, now let go...
@FritZz81 Just because I defend religious people, you automatically presume i'm religious? Way to prove my point. You automatically assume people are stupid because they don't think exactly like you. Frustration or not, you still show hatred and intolerance. You are just as bad as those radical religious people out there. This has nothing to do with my beliefs. It has to do with people having closed minds and hearts, fighting over something you cannot disprove or prove no matter what you follow.
@saveaplanteatavegan well, don't get me wrong or confuse this with arrogance, but people who disagree with me are usually kind of stupid.. But that aside, I don't hate reli's, I even have a sort of respect for them. Would be boring if everyone was like me. I think they're kind of funny. But ehh.. 93% of scientist are atheists,I guess you're right, they must be stupid too. As we all know,science is based on arrogance,selfrighteousness,not seeking truth and being a biased bigot. Theism isnt,right?
@FritZz81 I hate talking to closed minded people like you because I don't want to stoop down to your level and think that maybe all atheist are as ignorant, self-righteous, pretentious yet invalid. I certainly hope not. Maybe if you read my first comment, you would understand my point. I couldn't care less for Europe, it will be one of the first to burn. Unfortunately it has a horrible influence on America and it's currency system. I'm not thrilled to become a union or anything else like Europe.
@FritZz81 Seriously, the biggest problem about Europe is everything. I'm not necessarily talking just about religion or non religion. Simply everything.
@saveaplanteatavegan haha, do I really have to discuss Europe matters with you?? Because obviously you dont know shit about Europe.. I get Bill O'reilly flashbacks when I read your comment. Name one thing the US can handle better than we can? Im really curious. But to be clear: I'm not saying every European country is great, we've got retarded members just like a lot of your States. Unfortunately I can't ask you to come up with a Dutch flaw,because you don't know anything about this country.
@FritZz81 Nope, you shouldn't bring it up though! Seriously, that's just contradicting yourself. I never said the U.S is perfect. I'm really pretty cynical about the way this world works right now. You're right, I am probably not an expert on Europe, but you aren't an expert on the U.S either. So let's just put that aside. I will give you credit though, the Dutch are probably the lesser of European evils. I and I don't mention evil as an attack on just your country. It's everywhere.
@saveaplanteatavegan Do you really want to be that way? I try to learn something from the criticism I get. It's better to find a fault in yourself than go blindly thinking you didn't at all. PS I'm not Bill O'Reilly, or anyone else for that matter. No one person is alike or should be compared. Peace.
@FritZz81 When I mention currency unions, it is scary because if one country goes down, the rest go a long. That's all I am saying about that subject though. I don't think anyone gets my point. As for the Bill O'reilly comparison shit, don't ever compare me to someone else. No one person is alike, that's just presumptuous. I don't think i've intentionally done that to you. Anyways....back to my beer.
@FritZz81 My impression is you know only one dimension of the world/universe, like many of the people you put down. I can't stress enough, you don't know my solid stance on anything and when you say people you argue with are stupid, that seems more of a personal opinion, wreaking from a big ego. The majority of people can't think with an open mind or heart, or even objectively for that matter. Society is ridiculous..presumptious, arrogant, ignorant, stupid and they are okay with that?
lol my favorite part in that episode is where they are at the book burning and meg says "we have to burn all works of literature that go against god!" and it goes to some science books like darwins and then cuts to "Logic for First Graders" I LOVE IT.
f of Family Guy's viewers. Brain promoting atheism, marijuana legalization. Lois pointing out that Laura Bush killed a man for nearly five minutes of an entire episode. I used to be a DIEHARD fan of FG. I could quote entire episodes word-for-word, now I can't stomach to hear the theme song . Family Guy died and should have stayed dead. At least it would have retained some its dignity.
Oh at the hate mail I'm about to receive...but I like it.
Liberals have to resort to one-sided, biased cartoons to spread their message. Now even THEY know that their policies wouldn't stand a snowball's chance in Hell against conservatives in a fair debate. The only option left is to use "popular" (if that's what you want to call it) cartoons, that don't allow fair rebuttal, to further their propaganda to anybody dumb enough to watch such stupid television (which turns about to be about 87% o
I like seth mcfarlanes numerous and somtimes very subtle stabs at creationist nonsense, it realy reinforces the idiocy of religious dogma when you see it ridiculed so simply on family guy.
EVERY SINGLE FUCKING THIEST OR PLOYTHEIST COMES OUT EVERY WHERE READ THE CONSTATUTION WATCH TV EVERY THING SAYS THAT BULL SHIT THEN PEOPLE FREAK THE FUCK OUT WHEN SOMEONE ACCEPTS LOGIC DUMBASSES!!!!!!!!!!
The reason the "dog" gets it is due to the fact that Seth MacFarlane is reflected through the Brian. I couldn't help but laugh when I read on Wikipedia that "Seth MacFarlane is an outspoken atheist." While they may be true, instead of speaking it himself he simply portrays all his views through his show.
While I dislike South Park (and like Family Guy better), I like that it's not biased, it will make fun of everything; especially when he doesn't poke any fun at Obama, but did at McCain.
@rednecktrucker1969 - Actually, I AM vaguely interested. Let me know when they're up. As far as our debate goes, I'll go ahead and end it here. If you want to say you win, I can't stop you. But 12 days of posts is still going to boil down to matters of opinion. Belief and worship of God is a choice. To each their own I guess.
@rednecktrucker1969 - I've done the "desert experience" before. They take you into the desert via helicopter and simulate a plane crash to see if you could survive if stranded in the desert. My team (the "survivors" of the crash) was dropped off with an assortment of minor supplies that were "salvaged" from the wreck and given instructions.
@rednecktrucker1969 - You're right. I'm young. 24 to be exact. And, I know that a lower-middle class American still has it a lot better than others, but even a young person can tell that a system that doesn't work needs to be changed. If crops won't grow and the climate is arid, then your village might want to consider relocating. And, for that matter, why did they settle there in the first place?
@BlackFox0911 one thing you may discover in your life is that people are stupid and stubborn, if someone asked you to move from a place that had been your home all your life, you might resist. Look at Karina, why do those people want to rebuild in a flood plane? Tornado ally? San Andreas fault? Most of the Earth's surface is not too hospitable. I am doing a whole series on this type of thing called "Atheist vs Christian" We have already shot them and they are being uploaded 1-2 per week.
@rednecktrucker1969 - if someone is in an inconvenient state (i.e. poverty), there is always a way to change your circumstances. Even with a terminal illness, you can change your state of mind. God helps those who help themselves. He isn't a leech.
@BlackFox0911 I can tell that you are pretty young and probably live in a first world nation. This comment shows it....BAD.
Imagine living in a arid land, cant grow crops, all you can do is hunt and forage...money is useless, clothing is optional, and medicine is unheard of, this is how 1/3 of the world lives, cant pull yourself up if there aint no up. :)
@rednecktrucker1969 - You're playing into your own ego-center theory. Just because something bad happens to good people doesn't mean that God did it. God ALLOWS bad things to happen, and sometimes even instructs harsh punishments upon the "innocent", but man is almost always the inventor of his own suffering.
@rednecktrucker1968 - the murder part I'll concede because my mind was in a different ballpark, but could you clarify where in the Bible it condones rape and child molestation?
@BlackFox0911 after sodam gets turned to salt, that dudes daughters rape him and it is ok by god for them to do it.....same story, before they leave town he gives the same daughters to a mob to rape and do what they want to with his minor daughters....and he was the good one, that god wanted to save?....lol
many other stories of "morality" are found in the bible, look up jeptha for one. :)
@rednecktrucker - Every culture that has ever existed has had some form of moral codes that are identical. No culture has ever condoned rape, incest, murder, child molestation, etc. Once again, there are bad apples on every tree, but no culture would say that these are acceptable practices as a whole. This a common link that defines what those morals are.
@BlackFox0911 'No culture has ever condoned rape, incest, murder, child molestation, etc"----might want to re-think those particular ones chief.. All are mentioned and condoned in the BIBLE. :)
If anything this point proves evolution more than anything else. We are all humans from common ancestry, thus we share common traits...not a case for god at all.
@rednecktrucker1969 - "Survival of the Fittest" dictates that a species will survive and prosper by weeding out the weakest links in the population, but humans advance themselves by trying to HELP the less fortunate rather than by leaving them to die.
@BlackFox0911 "trying to HELP the less fortunate rather than by leaving them to die. "
Sadly though, this kind of charity only occurs in 1st world nations. Thousands of kids die every day because they are too poor, or lame in some way. They are not saved. It is only in the U.S. and other places that we take care of our in-firmed. Most of the world, it still is very much survival of the fittest.
@rednecktrucker1969 - If you tried to teach Calculus to a cat for 7 years, it would only be able to meow at you at the end of those years. A child, however, would be able to learn if consistently taught for the same 7 years. My point: humans psychologically evolve in ways that animals cannot.
Once again, this will probably take a few posts, so hang tight. Although I've never been able to put my finger on it, there is definitely something that separates humans from other animals. Whether from "God" or from "Natural Selection" (which ironically are basically two names for the same concept), humans were given a higher purpose than the other species.
@BlackFox0911 Why should we have a higher purpose....See this is purely an argument from personal ego and nothing more. We want to be special, we desire to be grander than just evolved primates, but we are not. Ego demands religion, to justify that grand feeling.
@rednecktrucker1969 - Would you be interested in hearing some of the subtle clues I mentioned earlier, or would you rather me shut up and quit pestering you?
@rednecktrucker1969 - Wow!! That was a good one. Kudos. I fully understand your point of view. It's frustrating that there ARE some things you can't do if you live by someone / something's rules, and it's true that we should blaze our own paths in life, but I still think it's a safer bet to believe in a God that DIDN'T exist than to NOT believe in a God that DOES exist. It's just a question of how big of a gambler you are.
@BlackFox0911 safer bet to believe in a God that DIDN'T exist than to NOT believe in a God that DOES exist. It's just a question of how big of a gambler you are."
not really, I really do prefer to find the truth, no matter what the cost. lying to myself does me no good and only causes damage to my own mind. Fear is the last thing you have to let go of to make this transformation. think of it this way, would god want an honest atheist or a lying xian?
@rednecktrucker1969 - this SHOULD be my last post. I think I've summed up what I was trying to say. But if you want a "smoking gun" that God is real, I'm afraid I can't show you that. There are clues all around you, but religion as a whole is based largely on faith. It all comes down to a choice, and in my opinion, it's a lot like having a condom. I'd rather have one and not need it, than to need one and not have it.
@BlackFox0911 The simple difference being, your condom does not tell others how to live their lives, make laws to subvert freedom, nor do you go out and kill for your condom. Religion does more bad than good. I think it is rather like herpes, you don't want to have it (fear of death) but its better than being disease-free...lol
@rednecktrucker1969 - It's kinda like using the dark side from Star Wars. Using unnatural powers to better oneself at the expense of others. We'd be no better than the other species of animals if we worked toward our own interests only.
@rednecktrucker1969 - but when mankind starts trying to "play God" is when we reach the line that shouldn't be crossed. An otherwise completely healthy woman's elective decision (key word = elective) to abort an otherwise completely healthy fetus is tampering with the natural order of life.
@rednecktrucker1969 - For instance, stem cell research is one of the best things that could ever happen to humanity. There is no Biblical "law" that prevents man from studying and learning about ways to better itself. In fact, that fits the definition of being "fruitful"
@rednecktrucker1969 - I don't know if you've ever studied the Bible, so please don't think I'm insulting your obvious intelligence, but nowhere in the Bible does it say that science has to be restricted. In fact, it's quite the opposite. God instructed man to "be fruitful, and multiply." But a lot of times the WAY science is used is unnatural, and that's what throws up red flags with the church.
@rednecktrucker1969 - I agree. People are evil by nature. Priests covering up horrible acts that destroys lives. I am against that just as much as you are. But it's the human's handling of hope that is so easily abused, not the divine aspect. This may take a few posts, due to the 500 character limit, so be patient with me.
If you live for nothing, you die for nothing. And don't give me that "life is what you make of it" crap. Tell that to the 6 year old with terminal cancer. She didn't get to make a life for herself. Doctors, nurses, the terminally ill, and their families need the hope that there is something greater than the suffering they have to witness day in and day out.
@BlackFox0911 You may be right, people are weak and need hope. However, churches make money off that hope, priests silence their victims with that hope, fathers sell off their 8y/o daughters for that hope, people make laws in the name of that hope, science gets restricted in the name of that hope, peoples freedom get stripped away in the name of that hope.
Hope comes at too high a price for me.
Especially a hope in something that is not even there, or if it is, can only be proven by the dead.
@rednecktrucker1969 - I apologize for losing my cool earlier. Let's just say that I "know" of a married couple who tried to start a family for 6 years and had to suffer 14 failures. The would have been mother committed suicide not long after giving birth to stillborn twins, convinced that she had failed at life.
@rednecktrucker1969 - yes, and I will have done the exact same thing, but with the assurance that something is waiting for me on the other side. To one day be reunited with everyone that I've ever loved.
@rednecktrucker1969 - if your theory about the way of life is correct, remember this: when you're laying on your death bed, thinking about the career and family that you're about to leave behind, dwell upon the fact that it was all for nothing.
@BlackFox0911 But it is not all for nothing, I will have raised my children to seek proof, and evidence, I will have spent a well lived life, that I am proud of. I will have enjoyed every moment of this existence to its fullest. I would not have squandered my years, waiting for this life to end so I can get on with the afterlife.
@rednecktrucker1969 - if your way of thinking is right, why bother with families and careers? You may leave a legacy to them, but that legacy would be lost once they too are gone.
@rednecktrucker1969 - that's about the answer I'd expect from someone who lives for nothing. Kill myself? Really? And you said I'm ignorant? What about MY family? What about MY career?
@BlackFox0911 If you are living only for an afterlife, then kill yourself and get there now.
Just because you only get one life and no afterlife does not mean that you cannot have meaning in your life, what about friends, relatives, children, career, and personal pride. The argument you state deserves the ridiculous answer it got. :)
honestly brian is the only intellectual character on the show. if anyone else had been the atheist i would have dismissed it as fox conservative christian people bashing atheists.
If the Lord Jesus Christ truly existed, explain to me why he would allow people like Hitler, the Pope, George Bush, and these other nut cases to use his name to further their own mortal wills? Is there not some punishment to say that Jesus told me we gotta go to war with Iraq or Poland or kill all the Native Americans?
If there is a God (Here presuming we are talking of the deity refrenced in the Torah and the BIble), why would he let his chosen race die to some megalomaniac for years?

I'm an atheist because I think superstition and logical plot holes are the core of all religious experience. Does God exist? Like a unicorn or a leperchuan; yes! The 'idea' is intriguing, but seriously falls away in the biggest and smallest details of everything.

@rednecktrucker1969
When people are seen saying grace or going to church in a tv show, it's generally because that shows a typical event for person, considering the fact that a majority of the population is religious. Just because a character does something in a show, doesn't mean the writers have the same standpoint or view on the subject. I know that the same could be said for Brian's Atheism, but Seth is known to be Atheist, and you can see the obvious similarities with him and Brian
jeffro282 6 months ago
@jeffro282 If you don't like it then don't fucking watch it, but obviously you wouldn't be complaining about the political and socioeconomic themes if you didn't actually watch the show, so obviously you enjoy the writing but you don't agree with the presentation of topics that modern society faces, but Seth Macfarlane has tried hard not to sell out and he's not going to personally tailor the show to you just because you don't like what he's saying, so either watch it or don't.

@DayNight91 well, like this cartoon, and the movie "all dogs go to heaven" they are just made up stories, much like the bible and heaven itself, they are all just make believe and all are not real in the slightest bit. So in your imagination you can do anything you want to, even make believe that dogs talk and there is a place called heaven. Just know that dogs dont talk, and there is no heaven. :)

The dog is a family spirit; dog's neither speak nor have feelings; we do see it given a life of its own, and that is because after more than one season they actually had to write a story for the show; the dog spirit appears in everything they needed only self-service at the exclusion of other things--something weird. To be zany they also do insanity, so don't read too hard into this, but they do act out what dogs mean.

Well, all my animals are atheists. But the dog I was referring to is quite curious. As a puppy when she heard barking on the TV, she looked behind it, never believes anything I tell her either. If I say "It's okay, this person's nice", she'll back-up and refuse to interact with them until she's observed them. If I say "don't play rough with the cat, he'll scratch you" she'll play with the cat and be scratched anyway. She would only believe in a god if she met one and it had treats. =P

@rednecktrucker1969 I was raised as a Christian and I still like Family Guy.
Sure, the show (among others) has a slant against Christians, but part of that is because Christianity is probably the only religion that actually GETS that it's done in a humorous way, so they can get away with it without having hate crime charges or death threats leveled against them. (Remember what happened to South Park when they tried to do an episode about Islam?)
Back in the day this show would have been taboo.

@BlackFox0911 'No culture has ever condoned rape, incest, murder, child molestation, etc"----might want to re-think those particular ones chief.. All are mentioned and condoned in the BIBLE. :)
If anything this point proves evolution more than anything else. We are all humans from common ancestry, thus we share common traits...not a case for god at all.

@rednecktrucker1969 - "Survival of the Fittest" dictates that a species will survive and prosper by weeding out the weakest links in the population, but humans advance themselves by trying to HELP the less fortunate rather than by leaving them to die.

@BlackFox0911 "trying to HELP the less fortunate rather than by leaving them to die. "
Sadly though, this kind of charity only occurs in 1st world nations. Thousands of kids die every day because they are too poor, or lame in some way. They are not saved. It is only in the U.S. and other places that we take care of our in-firmed. Most of the world, it still is very much survival of the fittest.

@rednecktrucker1969 - If you tried to teach Calculus to a cat for 7 years, it would only be able to meow at you at the end of those years. A child, however, would be able to learn if consistently taught for the same 7 years. My point: humans psychologically evolve in ways that animals cannot.
BlackFox0911 1 year ago
Once again, this will probably take a few posts, so hang tight. Although I've never been able to put my finger on it, there is definitely something that separates humans from other animals. Whether from "God" or from "Natural Selection" (which ironically are basically two names for the same concept), humans were given a higher purpose than the other species.
BlackFox0911 1 year ago
@BlackFox0911 Why should we have a higher purpose....See this is purely an argument from personal ego and nothing more. We want to be special, we desire to be grander than just evolved primates, but we are not. Ego demands religion, to justify that grand feeling.

@rednecktrucker1969 - Wow!! That was a good one. Kudos. I fully understand your point of view. It's frustrating that there ARE some things you can't do if you live by someone / something's rules, and it's true that we should blaze our own paths in life, but I still think it's a safer bet to believe in a God that DIDN'T exist than to NOT believe in a God that DOES exist. It's just a question of how big of a gambler you are.

not really, I really do prefer to find the truth, no matter what the cost. lying to myself does me no good and only causes damage to my own mind. Fear is the last thing you have to let go of to make this transformation. think of it this way, would god want an honest atheist or a lying xian?
rednecktrucker1969 1 year ago
@rednecktrucker1969 - this SHOULD be my last post. I think I've summed up what I was trying to say. But if you want a "smoking gun" that God is real, I'm afraid I can't show you that. There are clues all around you, but religion as a whole is based largely on faith. It all comes down to a choice, and in my opinion, it's a lot like having a condom. I'd rather have one and not need it, than to need one and not have it.
BlackFox0911 1 year ago
@BlackFox0911 The simple difference being, your condom does not tell others how to live their lives, make laws to subvert freedom, nor do you go out and kill for your condom. Religion does more bad than good. I think it is rather like herpes, you don't want to have it (fear of death) but its better than being disease-free...lol

@rednecktrucker1969 - It's kinda like using the dark side from Star Wars. Using unnatural powers to better oneself at the expense of others. We'd be no better than the other species of animals if we worked toward our own interests only.

@rednecktrucker1969 - but when mankind starts trying to "play God" is when we reach the line that shouldn't be crossed. An otherwise completely healthy woman's elective decision (key word = elective) to abort an otherwise completely healthy fetus is tampering with the natural order of life.

@rednecktrucker1969 - For instance, stem cell research is one of the best things that could ever happen to humanity. There is no Biblical "law" that prevents man from studying and learning about ways to better itself. In fact, that fits the definition of being "fruitful"
BlackFox0911 1 year ago
@rednecktrucker1969 - I don't know if you've ever studied the Bible, so please don't think I'm insulting your obvious intelligence, but nowhere in the Bible does it say that science has to be restricted. In fact, it's quite the opposite. God instructed man to "be fruitful, and multiply." But a lot of times the WAY science is used is unnatural, and that's what throws up red flags with the church.
BlackFox0911 1 year ago
@rednecktrucker1969 - I agree. People are evil by nature. Priests covering up horrible acts that destroys lives. I am against that just as much as you are. But it's the human's handling of hope that is so easily abused, not the divine aspect. This may take a few posts, due to the 500 character limit, so be patient with me.
BlackFox0911 1 year ago
If you live for nothing, you die for nothing. And don't give me that "life is what you make of it" crap. Tell that to the 6 year old with terminal cancer. She didn't get to make a life for herself. Doctors, nurses, the terminally ill, and their families need the hope that there is something greater than the suffering they have to witness day in and day out.
BlackFox0911 1 year ago
@BlackFox0911 You may be right, people are weak and need hope. However, churches make money off that hope, priests silence their victims with that hope, fathers sell off their 8y/o daughters for that hope, people make laws in the name of that hope, science gets restricted in the name of that hope, peoples freedom get stripped away in the name of that hope.
Hope comes at too high a price for me.
Especially a hope in something that is not even there, or if it is, can only be proven by the dead.

@rednecktrucker1969 - I apologize for losing my cool earlier. Let's just say that I "know" of a married couple who tried to start a family for 6 years and had to suffer 14 failures. The would have been mother committed suicide not long after giving birth to stillborn twins, convinced that she had failed at life.
BlackFox0911 1 year ago
@rednecktrucker1969 - yes, and I will have done the exact same thing, but with the assurance that something is waiting for me on the other side. To one day be reunited with everyone that I've ever loved.
BlackFox0911 1 year ago
@rednecktrucker1969 - if your theory about the way of life is correct, remember this: when you're laying on your death bed, thinking about the career and family that you're about to leave behind, dwell upon the fact that it was all for nothing.
BlackFox0911 1 year ago
@BlackFox0911 But it is not all for nothing, I will have raised my children to seek proof, and evidence, I will have spent a well lived life, that I am proud of. I will have enjoyed every moment of this existence to its fullest. I would not have squandered my years, waiting for this life to end so I can get on with the afterlife.
rednecktrucker1969 1 year ago
@rednecktrucker1969 - if your way of thinking is right, why bother with families and careers? You may leave a legacy to them, but that legacy would be lost once they too are gone.
BlackFox0911 1 year ago
@rednecktrucker1969 - that's about the answer I'd expect from someone who lives for nothing. Kill myself? Really? And you said I'm ignorant? What about MY family? What about MY career?
BlackFox0911 1 year ago
If we live for nothing, then we die for nothing. Life then is nothing more than a contradiction
BlackFox0911 1 year ago
@BlackFox0911 If you are living only for an afterlife, then kill yourself and get there now.
Just because you only get one life and no afterlife does not mean that you cannot have meaning in your life, what about friends, relatives, children, career, and personal pride. The argument you state deserves the ridiculous answer it got. :)

If the Lord Jesus Christ truly existed, explain to me why he would allow people like Hitler, the Pope, George Bush, and these other nut cases to use his name to further their own mortal wills? Is there not some punishment to say that Jesus told me we gotta go to war with Iraq or Poland or kill all the Native Americans?
If there is a God (Here presuming we are talking of the deity refrenced in the Torah and the BIble), why would he let his chosen race die to some megalomaniac for years?
