A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

I grew up in the church, they will tell you that since a human(s) eradicated a disease, it was clearly god that worked through them. They always have a workaround bullshit answer
This is also true when Epsteiner auctions off a 13 year old
Yeah the omnipotent God bullshit breaks when a rainstorm floods a girls camp and kills a bunch of them. But then they claim the devil did it, or even victim blame in a creepy and fucked up way wondering if they were really pure Christians or not, or if there’s some mysterious upside or lesson.
Given that that were true; their god also created the disease and is responsible for all the suffering. Their god is still at a net negative.
Fucking-eh, he made every calamity that has befallen man, yet the shits still think it's a "good" plan.
So existence is a net negative in your book? I'm fairly pessimistic but that seems somewhat extreme.
They can't see a bad guy without trying to be them.
If that means those idiots at least get vaccinated then I will take that.
And a lot of the scientists are atheists, so it clearly doesn't matter if they believe in god.
I mean if we accept the hypothesis that God exists, and that he created humans, he created them with a reason.
That reason? Kill off every living thing god created.
But didn’t he create it all for us though? Which then becomes a good excuse for us to consume it all.
I mean, we're supposed to be stewards according to the teachings, but all those dumbass children hear is, "hey this is yours ..." and just kinda space off the rest of everything said...
If God exists, I reckon we are a high school simulation project that he forgot and accidentally left running.
Sure, but the logic reveals literally nothing. I can create an entire Sims world for the sole reason to see if the "turn pink clothing in to green clothing" mod works. Does the fact that their existence had a reason actually mean a damn thing?
No, I wanted to say: “he created them with the ability to reason”
exactly, that's why arguments like the one in this meme doesn't work
No rationale argument works on the irrational. The goal is to plant the seeds of rational thought. To appeal to people who aren't completely gone, yet. The meme works perfectly fine.
see, the thing is, they are not irrational. their logic (god works through humans) is completely self-consistent, they are just basing their logic on a different set of fundamentals than us. you can say that they are not scientific, you then would be completely correct. but they are not irrational, and that's the difficult part of changing people's mind.
