Poll of the Day > Have you ever heard any atheists say this before?

(+) Yeah! (+)

I know that the famous ex pornstar asia carrera has said this before "many islamic extremists believe in the 72 virgins in heaven thing and a lot of people think that's kinda weird but many of those same people do believe in a heaven though". Do you think she's right here? What do you think of this? I've heard other atheists or agnostics beside her say this exact same thing

That's part of their religion, isn't it?

Also: What are YOU even trying to say? Are you asking if we think atheists think pornstars think islamics think something?

Yeah I'm confused as well. It's not exactly a profound quote there. I think the point is that non-islamic religious people shouldn't judge because they hold similar beliefs...?

yeah that's what the quote is saying, so it's really hard to figure that out from the quote?

When Christians look at Mormons and act like that is super crazy, or even Protestants amused with Catholicism

To be literal: Assuming Asia Carrera actually is an atheist and said that quote - then yes, I've heard an atheist say that before ... BY DEFAULT

In that case yeah I agree, and yeah I've heard atheists say that before. Frankly I think they're all crazy for believing most of the nonsense in their holy books.

You can believe anything you want without following the religion step by step or having a religion at all. A atheist is a person who believes in no gods. This doesn't mean they can't believe other things associated with religion.

It's silly for people to believe that heaven, the place that gives everything to you, wouldn't have 72 virgins if you want it.

"Join our religion instead! We offer 80 virgins! Other religions just can't match our deals!"

What is even appealing about virgins to them

And Im sorry but having that many people around would be a nightmare imagine what the bathroom would look like
---

What happens after you've been there for years and you get tired of these virgins?
---

Where would those virgins come from? Would they be created for the express purpose of servicing the guy? Cause that's really creepy.
---

Most people don't realise that the area of Heaven with all the virgins is just for tourists.
---

What if it's the same 72 virgins, for, like, everyone
---

I think this is just a case of the pot calling the kettle black.
---

What if I told you guys Mormons get virgins too? I'm not even joking.

No, most atheists don't troll that hard. The statement itself is a false equivocation, especially considering that Christians believe suicide sends you to either limbo or hell.

wuht?

To be more clear, only Mormons who go the celestial kingdom after death. They get more wives to populate the planet's they get to create.
