Stupid things religious people say

Hoomans can be amazing. Their preparedness is astonishing. Just when all hope is lost, just when the depths of absurd ignorance has reached its absolute end, someone whips out a shovel.

At least they admit that their god needs money

Yes, we should all go back to living in caves, I suppose they refuse to take advantage of modern medicine and electricity as well... a waste of money, not mentioned in their Babble

Silly heathen.

There is "good" science, such as the modern medicine and electricity and the slew of benefits these gifts from god bestow upon our lives

Then........

There is the "bad" science. The work of the devil. These bad sciences encroach upon my fantasy beliefs, they point out every inconsistency, every logical fallacy congruent with my delusion. And therefore, cannot be accepted.

Of course it was the Mayans who caused them in 2012.

Are demonic possessions just mental illness? - This is what they recently asked on the Catholic news website.

Mind you, this will be aswered by Jenna M. Cooper, J.C.L. who is a consecrated virgin of the Archdiocese of New York, currently serving as staff canonist, Judge, and Coordinator of the Tribunal for the Diocese of Winona-Rochester in Minnesota. She graduated with a bachelors’ degree in Philosophy from Seton Hall University in New Jersey in 2008, and from Ave Maria University in Florida with a Master of Arts in Theology in 2010. After three years of living and studying in Rome, she completed a licentiate degree in Canon Law (J.C.L.) at the Pontifical University of the Holy Cross.

The church teaches that demonic possession, while rare, is certainly something that can happen.

Because of the reality of the demonic, today every diocese is supposed to have a specially trained priest, appointed by the diocesan bishop, who serves as the diocesan exorcist. [so it's not that rare]

Throughout his ministry, an exorcist must establish a balance within his own mind between not believing too easily that the devil is responsible for what is manifesting, and attributing all possible manifestations solely to a natural, organic source.” To that end, most dioceses in United States have protocols which require an individual to have medical and psychiatric evaluations, to rule out potential natural causes, before they can receive a major exorcism.

On the other hand, introduction to the rite of exorcism lists some medically-unexplainable, positive “signs and symptoms” of demonic possession, such as: the afflicted person speaking and understanding foreign languages they never studied; revealing hidden knowledge or information they would have had no way of knowing; and demonstrating physical strength beyond what would be normal for their size and general condition. True victims of possession will typically also have a history of dabbling in the occult, such as through fortune-telling, visiting psychic mediums, playing with Ouija boards, or participating in “New Age” activities.

I don't know about demonic possessions, but after reading this article, it seems that religion is the mental illness.

Also, have you ever met a consecrated virgin?

They're mostly nuns, though sometimes a lay woman will become a consecrated virgin without taking vows.

Aztecs, Incas, and Mayans are all the same. Exactly like how the Communists, Fascists, Marxists, and Socialists are all the same.

Carlo Acutis was an Italian teenager who, in the early 2000s, created a website dedicated to so-called Eucharistic miracles. He also, tragically, died of leukemia when he was still in his teens. He is in a process of becoming a saint.

Now his mom, a devout Catholic, is big on lying for Jesus. Thus, she recently came to the US where she is holding insane lectures (rants) to Catholics. Even the National Catholic Register, which is highly regarded among the Catholics, had an interview with her and you can see how they encourage her insanity instead of sending her to a psychiatrist.

Carlo, a young teenager from Milan, created a website and exhibit that has gone all over the world and visited thousands of parishes. We are speaking about countries like China, India, Japan; countries in Africa, Australia, Latin America and the United States.

Angelo Libutti told me that, during Carlo’s life, his computer caught on fire five times. Can you tell me about this?

Yes, we had to buy five computers for Carlo. The devil does not want us to speak about Eucharistic miracles. Don’t ask me how it was possible that his computers caught on fire. Carlo did not do anything to cause them. We were always very careful. Mysteriously, there were always strange things happening.

I saw that there were preternatural forces acting: preternatural, because, obviously, they were operated by the devil, certainly not God. These forces wanted to, at all costs, destroy what Carlo was doing.

The fruits of Carlo’s website have been that many. Many people have been converted, and others have come back to the Catholic faith because of it. So it’s clear that someone didn’t want this.

Please tell us about the relationship between the world of science and Eucharistic miracles

Science has not always been allied with the Catholic faith. But in this case, it is a super-ally because it is incontrovertible and indisputable that if a Eucharistic Host becomes flesh, which ends up being part of the human heart, that has parameters of living tissue, with signs of the passion of Christ, with signs of the blood type similar to the Shroud of Turin — that, as you know, is the greatest relic that we have of Our Lord in the world — then certainly, this has to make one think.

Yeah, either the mother is lying about her son's computers, they bought underpowered computers which they overtaxed or she set them afire herself. Oh and if her son's website is converting so many people why is the catlick church dying?

St John Paul II ‘had vision of an Islamist invasion of Europe’

Pope John Paul II had a prophetic vision of an “Islamist invasion” of Europe, a former confidant has claimed.

He was also a snitch for the communists, leading many Poles to be imprisoned.

Christians still haven't settled this question.

Now that the debate happened some things have been revealed, mainly why Greg Locke organized this debate. It turns out that his commune of Christians is seriously divided (eroded) by flat-eartherism. You must understand that they are a secluded community who are brainwashed daily by this lunatic, and now they have turned against him because he doesn't believe that the Earth is flat.

So now his sheep believe that Greg Locke is a Freemason and that he works for Satan. You can see in the video as Greg claims that the Earth is round or that Antarctica exists, people in the audience jeer and boo him.

I predict a massive change in Locke's theology in the near future.

"Debating" a flattard is like shouting at the TV screen, they are never going to hear you.
