Linux Credit Card Re-Launches

An anonymous reader writes "The all-new Linux Fund Visa Card launched on July 24th. The Linux Fund began in 1999, and lasted until Bank of America bought MBNA and canceled the program earlier this year. Before that time the fund had distributed $100,000 a year on average. US Bank has inked a new deal to resurrect the program with new features. Currently, the project is open to ideas for supporting well-loved and community-supported software that is underfunded. The current list of supported projects includes Debian, Wikipedia, FreeGeek, Freenode, and Blender."

    Athiests as a Majority
    This is what it would be like, if the majority of people were athiests.
    ATHIEST KID: Mom, I'm going to go fuck a hooker.
    ATHIEST MOM: Okay, son.
    ATHIEST KID: Afterwards, I'm going to go smoke pot with my friends, since it's "not addictive."
    ATHIEST MOM: Okay, come home soon!

    The athiest kid leaves the room. The father comes home from work several minutes later.

    ATHIEST DAD: Hey!
    ATHIEST MOM: Hi, honey! I'm pregnant again. I guess I'll just get another abortion, since "fetuses don't count as human life."
    ATHIEST DAD: Okay, get as many abortions as you want!
    ATHIEST MOM: Oh, and don't go in the bedroom.
    ATHIEST DAD: Why not?
    ATHIEST MOM: There are two gay men fucking eachother in there.
    ATHIEST DAD: Why are they here?
    ATHIEST MOM: I wanted to watch them do it for awhile. They just aren't finished yet.
    ATHIEST DAD: Okay, that's fine with me!

    Suddenly, their neighbor runs into the house.

    ATHIEST NEIGHBOR: Come quick, there's a Christian outside!
    ATHIEST MOM: We'll be right there!

    The athiest couple quickly put on a pair of black robes and hoods. They then exit the house, and run into the street, where a Christian is nailed to a large, wooden X. He is being burned alive. A crowd of athiests stand around him, all wearing black robes and hoods.

    RANDOM ATHIEST: Damn you, Christian! We hate you! We claim to be tolerant of all religions. But we really hate your's! That's because we athiests are hypocritical like that! Die, Christian!

    THE END

    Scary, isn't it?

      Sounds like a paradise to me.
      But who are those "athiests" and why do they wear black robes and hoods?

      So if you weren't religious, you would do these things? Automatically? BTW, those are interesting examples of typical atheist behaviour you mention there. I'd know, since I am an atheist(which i became I choose between that and supporting the devil). And you forgot some other things we do: * We start wars over atheistic issues. * We suppress other flavors of atheism. * We expect other to follow inapplicable, ancient atheist laws. I am sure there are many other things i have forgotten.

    > It's interesting to note how religious trolls relate a lack of religion to a lack of morals.

    The dialogs posted by the OP are actually mocking christians for having such stupid views about atheism, not mocking atheists for having no morals.

      I also thought so first. But i don't think so. If it was a joke, it was a really crappy one.

    Well, at least one danish bank allows you to put any image on your credit card. One guy put the Goatse Halloween pumpkin on his.

    Jyske Bank (Bank of Jutland) is one place that offers this service, at $10 per card.
