Unapologetics: Countering Apologetics with Sarcasm, Laughter, and Humor
Bad Ideas Should be Laughed At, Not Just Refuted with More Arguments

By , About.com Guide

Unapologetics are sarcastic, critical posters that take popular theological beliefs and turn them on their heads to point out just how absurd and ridiculous they really are. Maybe it feels more intellectual to counter them with sophisticated arguments, but sometimes an image and short phrase are sufficient to unmask the pretensions behind them. Sometimes, it's more productive to point and laugh at silly arguments than to take them seriously and offer detailed refutations or counter-arguments. There is a time for philosophical, atheological arguments and there is a time for laughter, humor, and sarcasm.
