Dumbest Thing Some Has Every Said To You

I have a contender as well - When I went to S. Antonio with the Texans, I asked why we would visit a Car Rental place. We were headed for the Alamo...
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
Psalm 14, KJV revised edition

Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
I have Arthrogryposis Multiplex Congenita, a condition that severely affects/impacts my musculoskeletal system. All of the damage was done in utero. As a result, I have literal structural deformities, including missing muscle groups (example: I didn't have much in the way of biceps, so the doctors transferred my pectorals to my arms... I have bitchin' parallel scars down my chest like railroad tracks), joint contractures, bone deformities, etc. It's considered a form of Muscular Dystrophy. I've had 43 surgeries, most when I was very young, to give me the mobility I enjoy today.
So, due to my disability, I've heard a bunch of dumb shit, like: It could be cured by seeing a chiropractor (a guy I used to play an online game with) It could be cured by changing my diet (a dental hygienist I used to see) It could be cured by prayer (multiple people) Of course, that's just the tip of the iceberg, but you get the idea.

"The miracle of birth is proof of God." -- the ex-wife
wut? 
"Your kids are so cute. You can almost not tell they're Mexican."
"How did he get a sunburn? I thought Mexicans didn't burn." And this one was my ex-MIL: "WHYYYYYY are you sweeping the salt inward?! You'll get bad economic luck! Sweep it outwardly!" My son had dropped the salt jar. She swept it herself towards the door. "He's not autistic. He just needs Jesus in his life. Also a spanking." About her gay son: "He wasn't always this way. He was in love with his best friend in high school. He asked her out and she said no. Ever since then he does things to catch her attention." He's 36 now and she still calls it a phase. "The whole church burned down, except the cross with the red bow. Ivy, that's proof." I pointed out that the god could have prevented the church from burning, not just the cross. She got mad and walked away.

It sure seemed stupid at the time, I'm sure I rolled my eyes too, but nearly the first thing they tell you in HIV/AIDS/Buddy Hospice training is don't form emotional attachments to the people you are helping.
Well, Jesus fucking Christ, duh! Why would anybody do that ?!?!?! and then I did it . . . . . . The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
A physio therapist I was seeing told me to keep playing football after a bad knee injury I got from playing football.
He didn't ask if I actually do play football on a regular basis, plus he's telling me to play a sport notorious for wearing down knees. A nurse once advised me to go get Christian friends to help stop me smoking weed when I went to go get my heart beats looked at. Neither of these things are insanely stupid but in the context that the advice was coming from medical professionals I think it adds to the stupidity. Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them. Impersonation is treason. 
Me: What does it matter to you if some confederate memorials get moved to museums or private property?
Her: You don't care about brown people in Afghanistan or homeless people! Me: WTF?
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
