Suggestion: Hollywood Atheist

Go To

I think the image for HollywoodAtheist should be the picture of Charles Darwin making out with the devil in the pro-creationism propaganda film from the Simpsons episode "The Monkey Suit". I'm not very good at links, but you'll probably find it on Springfield, Springfield! or Duffzone. Suggested caption:

"Despite not believing in the existence of God, these atheists have love for his arch-enemy. And I mean love..."

Clumsy, I know, but it's all I can think of right now.

I don't think it reflects "atheist" as it does "Satanist"...

And it's going to be pretty low quality besides.

That image does not look atheist to me - Hollywood Satanism maybe.

That's not even close to this trope.

I strongly object to making fun of Darwin.

So, any suggestions? There is enough consensus against the OP that more objections is just a waste of time.

[up] Honestly, I'd say that's a closer depiction of real life than Hollywood.

Wow, that website's scary. Way to teach kids about tolerance and stereotyping. Anyway, the goat embodies this trope very well. He checks off several of these bullet points. He's cynical, grouchy, materialistic (he loves coffee more than God), believes he's right, somehow is bad for children, and in one comic, he realizes that he's wrong about evolution.

[nja] Actually, it's a parody. Fooled me.

Cutting it down to just the gray area would work, methinks.

I'm leaving in the text at the top. It's pretty funny and helps demonstrate the trope a bit more.

I move that the following note be put in place of a caption:

%% No caption, please. This image has three already, don't add a fourth.
