I'm down voting not because it's not funny, but because these jokes are too dangerous to dumb people.

The moon landing being faked, vaccines causing autism, the earth being flat, lizard people controlling the world. These jokes get a lot less funny when people actually start to believe them. There's already enough "young earthers" out there voting without memes like this.

I get it (and upvoted your comment) but I think that people who believe this is serious are already too far gone. This specific meme is not going to make a person believe that this is what atheists think. If they agree with it that's only because they already think like that.

Exactly. This isn't anyone's grampa.

It's their great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great grampa.

Nah that’s a misunderstanding of evolution, it’s an extremely distant cousin

Actually I'm pretty sure it's a contemporary fish.

Though fish may be atheistic, so it might just be some grampa.

Not trying to shit on you or anything, but that's a tremendously sad and cynical way to view memes :(
