It was dark enough that an Olympic-class diver didn't notice that there wasn't any water in a full-sized diving/lap pool, but apparently he had enough light to stumble his way to the diving board?
You know, I burnt my toast at breakfast this morning and I could have sword it look like Jesus's left hand. I'm going to take this as a sign from god that I'm allowed to slap people who create overly religious posts that seek to perpetuate Judeo-Christian propaganda on a website that's primary purpose is comedic relief.
"Boy... that escalated quickly!"
That went...a bit too far, but I kind of agree with the first part? I don't get how he didn't notice water in the pool. I mean, its obviously fake but still. Stories are so unconvincing

Because there aren't any posts that make fun of religion at all, Right? Not a single one that completely mocks the idea of believing in a higher power of any sort. I just love how the majority of the people on this website are in agreement with what they say and what they do.
beowulfscousin: making fun of a funny thing (i.e. religion) should be an appropriate thing to do on a fun site, no? Spreading religious propaganda is probably not.
I never said making fun of a funny thing is inappropriate. What I was saying was saying was don't be hypocritical about what you post. You want to make fun of religion? Go ahead, I don't care. But don't get mad when someone posts something that makes fun of anything anti-theist because that's when you fail your standard of being "open-minded".
Funsubstance is a meme site. It's purpose is to deliver funny pictures/stories/ideas to visitors of the site. In the few weeks that I've been browsing here I've have seen dozens of posts that make fun of theist (specifically christian/catholic/muslim) ways of life. These posts made it to the front page within a matter of a few hours so we can make a pretty good guess on the group mentality towards religion in general. The number of posts that contain what you call "religious propaganda" (which seems to be every single one) are miniscule in comparison to the anti-religious ones and received less than favorable judgements.
Tl;dr
1. Don't be hypocrite. If you see a religious/anti-religious posts, unless it COMPLETELY offends you (e.g. "kill all christians/muslims" or "kill all secularist"), ignore it. Don't go slandering the opposite sides ideals or way of life.
2. This is a fun page not a hate board so post funny, lighthearted things. Not something you know will start a comment war.
This is beowulfshit. I have no problem with anyone making fun of science or scientists. But pretending, science and religion are in any substantial way comparable is just utter nonsense. Its either propaganda or delusion.
Ok, you call my opinion propaganda. I am pretty sure though, you just wanted to return the "propaganda" to its sender. Solid primary schoolyard rhetoric there...
But lets play this game: You would like to implicate that the relevance of science is just an opinion, comparable to the opinion, that religion, meaning the idea of higher beings and what they did, do and can do, is in any way relevant. But as any religious approach and idea can neither be verified nor falsified (that is actually more important), it is by definition something totally different than the scientific approach, based on verification as well as falsification. Look up what propaganda actually means.You will find its surely not "stating an opinion I don't like, even though I can't argue with it"
If he hadn't seen the shadow, he would have done a backwards flip into the empty pool and either gotten very injured, or die. His shadow was shaped like a cross, which suggests it was a sign from God.

Honestly I didn't mean to post something that offends anyone. This post is just for scares ya'know? After all it is October and Halloween is coming up.
It was a good post. It doesn't need to be a sign from God. People need to learn to take things with a grain of salt. Maybe his brain was so fogged up with earlier arguments he wasn't thinking properly and that's how he missed it was emptied. And by taking a moment to think, he saw what he missed. Bam, as good of a point without the religion and the whiners can get over it.
I'm a Christian, and although these types of things happen, I don't believe this happened. The lack of when it occurred, the person who is just labeled "atheist" and some "university," and the fact that he didn't see water in the pool when he walked past the water; these are just some very basic logic points that prove a false story. You know how dark it would have to be? How did he find the board? If there was a shadow, there would have been enough light for him to see no water because there would be some sort of reflection.
Not trying to burst any bubbles, but I don't really think this is a good way to show/prove to people who Christ is.
Of course it's fake, religious people don't have arguments good enough to make an atheist think to the point he becomes too distracted like this. (ok, i'm jk)
I'm sure it's a fake story, but there is this whole genre of literature called fiction. You don't have to believe in magic to enjoy Harry Potter as a story. Relax it is 30 second fiction and pretty well written.
You know that divers always get in the pool to get wet before they dive, don't you? Just one more lie to perpetuate the story that atheists are really Christians
