    I love how the guy liking it is called Matthew.

  2. Andrei McMullen says:

    go ahead, kill wil!

  3. Sean Hutton says:

    That’s nice… 0.o

  4. Cassie Birch says:

    Hahaha. I would prefer to say that we should be most loyal to our religion, then to our WORLD and THEN to our country. Because the world is the thing that supports your county, and your religion supports you.

  5. Humm. says:

    Then she’ll have to answer her country, and her God.

    • Cpt. Headwound says:

      Well, her god doesn’t exist, nor should her country, so, really she should only have to face Wil’s family.

      • Humm. says:

        God I dunno, might be good for something like that to exist, but I’m fine even if he doesn’t. But the country, I can’t really see why it shouldn’t exist.

  6. Mr. Gerbz says:

    Sigh. In the past natural selection would take care of idiots like this.

    • Karel says:

      I hope you’re talking about whitney.

    • callmetheman says:

      If you’re referring to the great flood, that’s not natural selection…

      • Eykal says:

        What you did there.
        I see it.

      • grey says:

        then obviously, that wasn’t what he meant. aside from the fact that idio… i mean people who think the “great flood” (referencing the one in the “bible”, not any of the others that came before it and written about in other “holy” books) really happened tend not to believe in natural selection.

        • Noodle says:

          Actually, the story of Noah existed pre-Christianity, in Mesopotamia. And there is geological proof of a great flood there that covered a large portion (if not all of) the river valley most of humankind lived in during that time and it killed off a lot of people. According to the story, the only person to survive from this one area was this merchant in a boat with, more or less, a sampling of every animal in the known world. Sound familiar?

          I’d also have to contest the second part of your statement, as most of the people I know are Christians and most of the people I know are biology students and all of them believe in evolution/natural selection. I’d venture a guess and say that many Christians believe both in the “great flood” (although I know just as many who believe the old testament is just context to the world and belief system Jesus was born into) and all of the tenets of modern science – in fact, many of them believe that science brings them closer to their god.

          Maybe learn a bit more about people before you knock them, hm? I find it hilarious when people call Christians ignorant and then spout out crap like that.

          • Orly? says:

            Would you happen to have a link to your proof of said great flood?
            If it’s a book/.com website I’m not taking it.

            • Bast says:

              The Epic of Gilgamesh…VERY old story, possibly might be on sacredtexts.com (don’t let the name fool you…it’s mostly very old books of myths, or stories written in ancient times).
              Would also like to shout out to Mithras…an ancient Roman who was the son of a God, was born on the 25th of December, had 12 disciples, died for our sins, and then rose again…hmmm…

          • grey says:

            “Actually, the story of Noah existed pre-Christianity, in Mesopotamia.”

            which is what i said

            “I’d venture a guess and say that many Christians believe both in the “great flood” (although I know just as many who believe the old testament is just context to the world and belief system Jesus was born into) and all of the tenets of modern science – in fact, many of them believe that science brings them closer to their god.”

            i don’t happen to know anyone like this. all the religious people i know believe in creationism.

            “Maybe learn a bit more about people before you knock them, hm? I find it hilarious when people call Christians ignorant and then spout out crap like that.”

            since most of my immediate family is “christian” and i was raised in the church, i know EXACTLY what i’m talking about. and like i said, i haven’t met any christians that believe in evolution or natural selection. they all think their god created the world in 6 days about 6 thousand years ago, give or take. so yeah, jump to conclusions much?

    • DeaconJericho says:

      I don’t think using two nouns as one subject in a sentence for the sake of rhetorical power is the kind of thing natural selection was trying to thin out.

      • Mr. Gerbz says:

        Indeed, natural selection used to thin out idiots, and not grammar.

        Idiots that rely on a non-existent invisible ‘power’, and think their responsibility is to ‘their country’ (aka. leaders of said country that don’t care about the survival of the particular person).

        They would pray for food, instead of going out to hunt. And they would send their weapons to the leaders far away, instead of keeping themselves armed enough to be able to defend.
        Pretty unrealistic scenario, especially nowadays, so I’m just using it to describe what they would do.

        • insertnickname says:

          Actually, considering that we don’t hear about sucessful atheist societies on ancient history, I would say religion was probably pretty useful in the past.

          I mean, what would they do without religion? It’s not like they had TVs or Bubble Wrap, they would die of boredom.

          • Essayons says:

            ^^^ insertnickname win

            The Religion of Atheism depends on their arch nemesis, everybody else.

          • Mr. Gerbz says:

            That’s because atheists don’t go to things like churches. It is not another form of religion. Even if religion never existed, atheists would exist. Atheists are simply intelligent people who don’t believe in invisible crap.

            Besides, religion is used for control. Americans in particular are very easy to control just by saying you believe in god, and that what you want is god’s will.
            Only the less intelligent leaders really believe in god, the intelligent ones just act like they do.

            • Essayons says:

              No, all the Atheists I know try their damnest to shove their **Belief** that there is no God instead, a magical boom that happened for no reason and magically came together as human evolving monkeys for no reason down everyone’s throats. Especially internet Atheists do this. It’s a religion of its own in every sense of the word.

              • Mr. Gerbz says:

                Say whatever you will, but we both know that it isn’t.

              • Meh says:

                “All” the aethiests don’t do that, just the most vocal. Thats like my saying all the christians I know try to tell me I’m going to hell. The most vocal do. Not all of them don’t.

              • Lizard King says:

                And every religious troll I know comes to the comments section making a tl;dr comment starting with some LSD-induced Bible quote that some naked dude wrote in a cave 2000 years ago, followed by a very enlightned explanation of why we will burn in Hell for using the Devil’s favorite weapon: Logic.

                • insertnickname says:

                  Guys, you’re taking it too seriously… I mean, it’s a humoristic site for god’s sake (I mean… for… no one’s sake).

  7. Juniper Jupiter says:

    Reminds me of the Spanish Inquisiton…nobody expects the Spanish Inquisiton!

    “NOBODY expects the Spanish Inquisition! Our chief weapon is surprise…surprise and fear…fear and surprise…. Our two weapons are fear and surprise…and ruthless efficiency…. Our *three* weapons are fear, surprise, and ruthless efficiency…and an almost fanatical devotion to the Pope…. Our *four*…no… *Amongst* our weapons…. Amongst our weaponry…are such elements as fear, surprise…. I’ll come in again.”

  8. Cpt. Headwound says:

    I would like to inquire as to why she put a *smiley* emoticon after the phrase “I’m going to kill you.” Why is that there? If there is to be an emoticon, (which there shouldn’t be, they take away from the seriousness of the comment) wouldn’t it be “>:-(“?
    People overuse things like the smiley emoticon, “lol,” and they don’t realize it, but they lose their meaning. Seriously people, stop using “lol” after every sentence, comment, word, whatever. It’s gotten to the point where I’m seriously pissed off, because I’ve seen someone use “lol” after a political rant

    • Pootah says:

      It’s called joking. You wouldn’t understand, it’s something people with friends do.

    • Ethd says:

      Emoticons and “lol” are generally used to indicate lightheartedness in a setting where otherwise it wouldn’t be possible to know for sure. She’s not being serious, so the smiley face works just fine.

    • Yeah i’ll just go ahead and say this! Cpt. Headwound you have failed!

    • Jason Jarred says:

      I agree ‘lol’ is overused. imho you shouldn’t use it unless you are actually laughing, otherwise it loses it’s meaning. Regarding smiley faces however, use them freeley – if you are smiling in RL or need to convey the fact that you’re not being serious etc (as with sarcasm, it rarely comes across properly without the use of a smiley face), use a smiley!

      • Lizard King says:

        Lol means “laughing out loud”. if you’re not, well… laughing out loud, don’t type it. Write “sirl” (smirking in real life) or something. I don’t tell you I’m cleaning my own doo-doo, so why should you tell me you’re laughing? I agree Jason, something overused loses it’s meaning.

    • X says:

      Ahh, hello captain! On leave from the FailBoat I see?

    • Meh says:

      lol lol lol

      I say lol in real life all the time. Just a reflex from internet chatt’n with friends. You seem to have a few issues, wanting to punch someone for saying an acronmyn. …..lol

  9. Xilver says:

    Considering that God seems to differ from person to person, I think its pretty safe to say that if anything we are our own God, or God is just a blown-up, magic version of ourselves.

    Its just a way of getting your own voice heard, if you an ordinary person, to make yourself feel better about your own insignificance, to ‘know’ that there’s a special place for you and the people you like.

    • Humm. says:

      A very nice explanation of why there is a thing called God nowadays, I must say.

      (I don’t mean this to be sarcastic, I really do admire what you just said.)

    • The Amazing Rando says:

      Or not. Maybe we just believe in God. There you go.

      • Ruuni says:

        Nah, you know he’s right..

      • Humm. says:

        Nah, it isn’t all that simple. Some people may believe in him just because they were raised that way, but most people who start to believe in a god/gods when being adults probably do it for the reasons Xilver listed. And the original reason for people to come up with a god was probably either those/explaining things they didn’t know an answer to. In any case, even if it might be as you said for you, people are different, believe in different things and in different ways.

  10. yesyes says:

    This is exactly the kind of attitude that keeps wars going on this planet….

  11. pibeman says:

    so, the “great flood”….

    it was over or under the knees?

  12. mike says:

    what an idiot… another stupid moron, who thinks its the citizens job to serve the country… People like that are the reason California is so screwed up.

  13. Charles says:

    Being a Royalist Anglican Englishman, I assure you it can be a single responsibility.

    Mon Dieu et la Reine.

  14. stan lee says:

    How Spanish Inquisition-esque.

    “Our chief weapon is surprise! Surprise and fear… two weapons. Surprise, fear, and ruthless efficiency…”

  15. tyberius says:

    Wheaton!
    WHEATON!
    WHEATOOOON!

  16. capnfail says:

    inb4 religious argument.

    Wait… nevermind.

  17. Draw2much says:

    Um, what? Why is there such a malicious title for this minor Facebook Fail? The title implies this person is ignorant over something not even related to the actual Fail. The Fail isn’t the lack of understanding about the separation of church and state (as that has nothing to do with what was said) but the 1 responsibility/2 responsibilities snafu.

    I don’t normally comment on these websites, but the longer I browse the lolcats sub-sites the more intolerance towards religion I see. Maybe it’s just me, but that doesn’t seem in spirit with what the creators of these sites intended.

    • Humm. says:

      Nah, they’re actually trying to slowly get in more religious things here, and turn them into religious propaganda sites. That way, they can start the greatest religious flaming of the Internet, and also start a war between atheists and Christians.

  18. Atheism says:

    Wow, she said God.

  19. Qwerty says:

    Ha, so is her country her god, or is her god her country?

  20. Billie says:

    That’s not very Christian of you Whitney ..
