Today or ever?
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.

"Needing proof for atheism"
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

"You've got these schools now talking about this "evolution" - telling these kids that have been going to Sunday school their whole lives that we came from monkeys." - Mom

"It's happening just like He said it would. Everything is fallin' into place and we ain't got long left." - Random asshole in barbershop just after berating Obama

(note to self: find new barbershop; complete ignorance is the norm there)

"The Bible/Christianity is true, because it's the only faith that people are willing to die for." How about those Muslims?

"It's not a religion. Religions are false. Christianity is a *relationship*" So is every other deity-centric religious ideology.

"I stand with Israel!" Insert Jewish people asking for a public menorah lighting here. "I'm so tired of this PC bullcrap! If you're offended by the reason for the season then go back to your own country!!! America is a Christian nation and we celebrate Christmas! MERRY CHRISTmas and GOD BLESS! HAH Hope I offended everyone!!!"

(October 19, 2015 at 10:43 am)JBrentonK Wrote: Believing in evolution is pretty stupid. Since after all evolution teaches us that we did not come from humans (the bible), what it teaches us is to ignore the bible. It's conclusion is that we come from a rock. Pretty stupid. The truth is is that Adam is incapable of thinking about his origins, BECAUSE he is a rock before he ever thought to question God's origins. So the "origin of the rock" IS Adam, but it can in no way be equivalent to that of an animal, as evolution teaches.

The big bang is another stupid atheist proposition. It teaches us that there is a beginning and it was caused from nothing. Being caused by nothing, we are expected to believe that another possible big bang could take place. This refutes the idea of an absolute creator having not created "everything", because "everything" must exist somehow.

The above are just two examples of the stupidity of atheists. This thread is devolving into the stupidity of atheists, and I just thought it was a good idea that we all recognize that in order to not be stupid, we have to bring God into the picture.


You realize your are talking just like the monkey you never evolved from, while we are talking like humans because we've already evolved from monkeys, right?

You secretly believe in god, and I know you would start praying if faced with death.

Then there's the whole "Can I pray for you to get cancer?" thing.

That's probably one of the stupidest things I've ever seen, if not the stupidest.

Your first post, and it's clear you are no stranger to Christian idiocy. Welcome.

I actually had a Christian say that to me in the comments section of a news article on FB recently. 

Oh, another one I love - "You refuse to believe in God so you can sin without consequences." I thought that was fundies, since all they have to do is repent and they can still go to heaven. How many times have I heard, "just because I'm a Christian doesn't mean I'm perfect. Just forgiven"?

Oh, in that case. On FB, stupidity knows no bounds.
