It's amazing, isn't it? 6 years ago I was posting on /r/atheism every day and watching thunderf00t dunk on creationists.
SJW's have very quickly taught me precisely why people need to be told there's an invisible all-powerful sky-daddy who will have them raped and tortured for eternity if they disobey him.
Elevatorgate is what brought the progressive religion to my attention. The Harris Affleck interview on Maher was the first time I knew to get the popcorn out in anticipation of major fireworks.
The book that solidified a lot of of the ideas about Hell wasn't the Bible, it was Inferno, the first part of Dante's Divine Comedy. He took the place of darkness, blended in a big dollop of Tartarus, and built the modern ironic Hell, where your torment is not only eternal, but symbolic. Even the structure, with treachery and betrayal as the worst sin, is rather Aristotelian in outlook if I recall correctly.
It hasn't been about exactly what the Bible said for a very long time. I'm sure all of us of the internet atheist generation laughed at the rules in Leviticus. "Thou shalt not wear a garment that is woven of two sorts." and such.

Right there with you. "If God did not exist, it would be necessary to invent him." needs an addendum: "Most people are really shitty inventors."
When it comes to mousetraps, baked bread, and religion, most people are better off sticking with the established brand than trying to make their own.

What a shame.
Sometimes I wonder how many all you internet atheists would be walking lockstep with those SJW's, if they weren't so anti white male.
It wasn't even that that made them impossible for me to ignore.
It was, unironically, when they started fucking with my videogames.
Because that is literally the mechanism by which I ignored them.
