Agreedo. Community has surpassed in 2 seasons anything the Simpsons has done for the last 10 years. It's called good writing! Go to bed SNL and the Simpsons!
We are out of rock stars since all legitimate musical acts are independent these days so the best they could get in the way of "rock star" is Katy Perry. She can't sellout a stadium show but she is on the Simpsons! A-deeyaba-deeyaba-dat's all folks!
If you are being pursued, call me and I will trap them in a maze!

Conversely if you get pinched I have friends on the inside:

I'm sitting on my motorcycle drinking a beer (which I will slam into my head afterward to smash the can) while curling a 65lbs dumbell and reading this thread. So fucking manly.
Aww yeah I loved how he passed on having a drink at midnight so he could drive errbody home safe. Reminded me of my own crappy 21st birthday only I didn't have any great friends :(
My point is that making an argument for one style of thought over another is the same as going door to door to convince people to believe what you believe. It turns Atheism into a religion.
If you're trying to convince people to change what they think about theoretical nonsense, then you are fighting a pointless battle.
The real "War" that is going on right now is for people to focus more on what is actually going on ON EARTH, not to draw lines in the sand over who does and doesn't believe in some fantasy-novel allegories.
Furthermore, your "WAKE UP" attitude is childish and betrays your lack of empathy, which is why you will fail in trying to convince someone who spent their whole life believing something to believe otherwise.
Harry Potter movies may not be the best or most accurate to their source material, but these days you have to go see the new ones just because this is a story that has taken 10 years to tell in film. It's a pretty amazing event really. Hurrah for not being disenfranchised or bitter about something in the entertainment industry despite their brash awfulness!
What's the point in making a good athiest argument? Are Athiests united in some way? Are they hoping to convert the religious to their belief? Wouldn't that just be another religion? Why is there even a need for debate? Can everyone not just believe what they believe, keep it to themselves, and not judge others on this slippery and downright imaginary scale of worth? Did people miss the point in that episode of Community where Pierce's mom dies? Or the point of the poker scene in Louis?
Everyone's beliefs are crazy, everyone's sexuality is gross, and everyone needs to stop being offended all the time about WORDS. There are WORDS and then there's INTENT. Was Gabe's intent in this story to glorify the fictional suicide of a person who pretends to be an anchor on a "news network"? Was it to let those of us who share similar political views to have a huddle and salivate over the thought of those who stand in opposition to our beliefs no longer existing (do these people really even exist?)? No. It was to entertain by way of satirical comedy.
I am a firm believer that in comedy, anything goes. Nothing is off the table. Sure, by following that rule you may offend some at times, come up with lazy (Outsourced) lazy jokes at other times. We need this balance of good/bad I think, just like we need the balance of religious/non-religious. Everyone agreeing always about everything would make life stale. Non?
Ok. Now I'm going to go back to penning mildy humorous Facebook status updates.
If you buy a box of honey graham crackers, then place one full packet into a bowl, then pour vanilla almond milk over it, and then eat it like cereal it is one of the tastiest and most enjoyable ways to get fat... ever.
Regardless of the events of the evening or what I ordered from the menu, the Oakland fight sums up perfectly how I feel inside every time I am at a Denny's.
