The entire human race believes in god. The ones that claim they don't are just lying to themselves.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.

RE: Religious claims that get under your skin
Most all religious persons feel they are sufficiently pious they can offer Salvation to anyone they encounter.

There's no way any scripture cherry picking Christian slacker can do that. And it seems they are ALL slackers.


I'm still begging for a True Believer to come here and post . . . .
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

Gods wisdom can not be questioned.

Presups are the worst kind of parasite, and Bruggencate specifically is a sanctimonious, self-satisfied shit. I've had the deep unpleasure of talking with him before on another forum; though really that should be "being talked at by him". He is so far up his own arse he goes right round his intestinal tract and disappears up his own arse again.

I also hate "everything happens for a reason". Yeah? Well here's a smack in the mouth from Jesus.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

The worst religious claim is that theory based science does not operate like a religion. (on faith)

Yeah, I hate it when religious idiots make claims like that.

Probably one of the most annoying things is the morality argument. They think their morality is better because they get it out of a book, because a violent deity that demands your love and loyalty is somehow an upstanding moral figure.

Or when someone says god will come to you if you humble yourself correctly. How arrogant is this deity, that wants you to spend your life searching for something that may not exist, before he maybe comes along and confirms it in some way?

And of course any time you read a verse that makes this god look bad, you're just not interpreting it correctly. Or it was a different time and place, because god's laws are constrained by the contemporary views at the time, for some reason.

Calling atheism or science a religion is pretty up there too. Or saying that christianity is not a religion, that it's a personal relationship.

Honestly there are a lot of annoying things theists say. We could be there all day.

No, it's god. Puny human!
