Stupid things religious people say

Me: What's demonic?
Honest Fundy: Anything I don't like.

Many people here must remember the shrill reaction many Christians had to the Dungeons and Dragons craze in the 1980s. My wife and I were big into D & D. One time we had termite exterminators over. One of them freaked out when he saw a bunch of D & D stuff on a table including a book called, "Delian Book of the Dead." My wife was away at the time. When she got home, I told her about the one guy's reaction and she loudly remarked that she was going to start digging the sacrificial pit in the back yard, lol. I always wondered if the guy prayed for us and talked about us in church.

And Christians believe in demons because Jesus believed in demons. Jesus believed in every bullshit there was (he even believed in the evil eye), and Christians are set to be as gullible as he was.

"jesus' sacrifice will forever be glorified" i actually want to throw up because why is such a brutal execution glorified

Not only is this brutal execution glorified, but according to their own doctrine they are sacrificing an innocent as a scapegoat. It is no different from Aztecs tearing out the hearts of virgins, boiled down.

I think killing Jesus to redeem mankind, as a Christian fundament, is one of the most obnoxious things.

Of course, he wasn't really dead, he only had a weekend trip to some island, then popped back up to wag his finger at you. Little cunt.

But yeah, modern Christians loooove the fact that they need not answer for their bullshittery.

Sacrifice?  he got better in 3 days and then went home, more an inconvenience than a sacrifice!

Jordan Peterson is not well. His daughter, Mikhaila Fuller, thinks he and the Peterson family have been under a spiritual attack.

Hey, as you know Jordan Peterson has been really sick. A lot of people have been asking for updates so here’s one. He’s recovering slowly day by day but I won't lie, it's slow and scary. He won't be back for another few months at least, probably longer. We’re not entirely sure what’s going on but it looks like possibly severe CIRS and a LOT of bad luck. Or we’re getting spiritually attacked. Or both.

To be perfectly honest, I think a lot of this is spiritual. My newborn Audrey almost died of heart failure for no reason in June, dad got sick and came to stay with us in July, then needed a hospital and the same day he went to the hospital by ambulance, my newborn turned blue (again) at home for a different reason not heart related and went a different hospital by ambulance.

Within 3 hours of each other.

It's been one thing after another in an otherworldly type of way.

Our family is relying heavily on the Lord through this and seeing miracles around us…And I’m also aware that God uses everything for good. So eventually we’ll see why this is happening or what comes of it.

It presents an interesting paradox. Ostensibly, redemption comes through suffering. If so, then in what way are those who didn't undergo the suffering redeemed?

A rather odd thought, given Peterson's largely metaphorical understanding of Christianity. Is he only metaphorically under attack?
