I simply explained the thumbs down.
It was not funny and insulting, as well as indicative of the idiotic attacks on evolution.
I didn't say that I was hugely effected by it.
Giving a thumbs down to such trash is pretty low effort.
It's you I regard as pathetic.
Seriously if you can't get by without making a fuss when people don't like other peoples
bad / insulting jokes then you really do have issues.
It's not insulting, it's absurd.
Equating his joke to racist jokes and the like as if you're the martyr of atheism was the true joke in this thread. A real kneeslapper, it was.

Why are Arians better looking than the Blacks?
Because they didn't evolve from monkeys.
Look me, metaphorically, in the eye and tell me that isn't offensive and insulting.
If you can't do that*, why does it cease to be insulting by switching Arians for theists
and Blacks for atheists?
Now you could argue that this 'joke' is more offensive.
But I wasn't reporting the OP to the mods and asking for a ban.
I gave it a thumbs down.
Because it's in exactly the same form and style as racist jokes.
I don't suppose it was intended as 'anything other than a bit of fun'...
But so much racism, and sexism, and most other isms, are conducted by people who just
intended to have a bit of fun.
It's just not funny.
*And I seriously hope you can't do that

Now you tell me, smart guy, isn't your "logic" here an example of the Straw Man Fallacy? Now I'm no philosophy major but I tend to recall that this would more than loosely fit that definition.
But I get it now. You see the word monkey and your mind turns to racism and outrage. You're like the modern day PMRC.
It's a good thing Bon Scott didn't meet this forum's atheists before he died. He might have preferred the party in heaven.
EDIT - Or is that a "False Analogy"? Either way, it's a load.
