teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Stupid things religious people say

Trump said by the grace of god he’s still alive.
Wouldn’t the god he believes in bring him into heaven if he was killed? I never understand why Xians give credit to god for keeping them from paradise.. Or he’s thanking god for not sending him to hell at this time? (July 15, 2024 at 9:28 am)Fake Messiah Wrote: Is Gawd over her right shoulder somewhere? If not, who is she giving the bird to?!?

Hi, my name is Lek.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
The meme about Trump was very cool
This thread reminds me of an old website called fundies say the damnest things. Was great for a laugh (July 15, 2024 at 9:37 am)h4ym4n Wrote: Trump said by the grace of god he’s still alive. Apparently, none of them (theists) want to go to heaven and none of them want to go to hell. I had asked about this once to a christian and he said that they want to go to heaven but if they did, their loved ones would be sad. Well, the solution to that seems obvious: 1. Just communicate with them via Skype or a telephone. Who is preventing you from talking to your loved ones? 2. Take your loved ones with you. 3. People might get sad over your death but it is usually not permanent. Life goes on. Look at all the millions of people in your city. They are living their life. The city is still operational.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9XHIrhDl-SQ By Emma Thorne Length = 40:48 ^^^^^1:00 - 3:30 It says after Jesus was crucified, he went on an amazing and brave adventure before he came back to life. This adventure was to a part of hell where good souls had been trapped and waited for rescue. Imagine hell like a giant dark cave, full of shadows and scary noises. The entrance was guarded by big spooky gates with scary creatures, with demons prowling around. It was a place that was really frightening. ^^^^^What is that about? Is that in the Bible? Jesus went to hell? Spooky gates? Scary noises? RE: Stupid things religious people say

How is the old gal doing? If you use selection bias, and sharpshooter fallacies, then prayer always will "work", just remember to shrug and point out its all part of god's mysterious plan, when things go awry. I remember an apologist saying that god answers every prayer, then blithely, but seriously explaining he (god) doesn't always answer yes. You can't dent a rationale like that.

Disappointing theists since 1968!
