Kangaroo's grope people

Religious propaganda, just what the world needs more of.

When I first saw it I wished I had chalk to change it to KGB.

Andrew22, it's very interesting that you would use the phrase "grasping at nothing". A couple years ago, I started a serious search to figure out what God is all about and why so many people believe in Him. This meant I actually started reading the Bible and reading books about the Bible because I didn't want to be like everyone else whose religious knowledge came from South Park or a first year philosophy class. I can't even describe what I found when I actually started searching wholeheartedly and without bias. I'm not going to state my current standing with God because that won't mean anything to anyone else, but let me just say that there's a book in the Bible that talks about how everything we strive for on earth is a "grasping at nothing"; it's "chasing after the wind". I know why you'd say that these Christians are guilty of "grasping at nothing", but when I examined my own life, I realized that even the things I considered most important would one day amount to nothing. Of wealth, and popularity, and love, and everything else, which of these will I take with me when I'm gone? It was all grasping at nothing.
I don't want to start a convoluted debate, but I will just personally tell anyone who's listening that if you were to enter into a search like I did, checking all preconceptions at the door and truly seeking some sort of Truth, I guarantee that your idea of what's important in life will be flipped on its head.

I stopped reading there.

ugh i hate debating but since im procrastinating...
I can't imagine "do you know god personally?" is a helpful campaign.

1) People who claim to actually know god personally (which is laughable and scary) lord their superior knowledge over other christians who hear and feel nothing and try so hard to grasp at something (ie Mother Teresa) I'd imagine the xtians who don;t know god must not enjoy the hierarchy, guilt, arrogance etc something like this can create.
or
2) The rest of us think you are all batshit crazy or in denial for claiming to know god, as if you were sidewalk street preachers scaring kids.
or
3) life is meaningless, if drugs music church w/e makes you happy do it. If you can make a campaign where you imply you are special enough to know god and have the answers for how to do this, and it makes you happy to let everyone on campus know, go ahead and do it! I guess this makes christianity look terribly hedonistic, but at least I can support that.

Why?

He's not suggesting people here have the majority of their 'religious knowledge' from satirical sources (like south park), but an awful lot of people see something on TV and take it without question. He didn't want to be one of those people, and would have been if he didn't take action.

I too encourage such a search...not everyone who's atheist will necessarily become religious from some reading/reflection, but I'm almost positive it will make you think just a little bit, and solidify your own beliefs if anything. Thinking's always a good thing.

Whether or not God exists, there are still some very deep questions about the nature of existence that should be touched on at some point in your life to give you an appreciation for yourself and your own existence. Whether merely a probabilistic aggregation of cells, or something deeper like being created, it's something that shouldn't be taken lightly...Lest we all succumb to the kindergarden-like "I can't hear you!" with fingers in our ears, mentality.
