Mormonism is racist before they changed.

RE: Weird things theists have told you
Someone told me I could not (hypothesis) kill my newborn child to make sure he/she goes to heaven.

I was willing to go to hell just to save my child, this guy was just repeating "you cannot do this", no solutions whatsoever.

I just went "Fuck you, what are you or your god going to do about it? Send me to hell for it?".
If it`s true that our species is alone in the universe then I`d have to say the universe aimed rather low and settled for very little.

I had a logical argument to were i said fuck it i won't children then.
If the world is such a bad place why bother you said i'm going to hell.
So whats to stop me jump jumping off a building or in front of a bus.
There is nothing but she had the nerve to tell me i need to go to church and repent for wrong doings when she clearly doesn't know me. Either way with christianity its a loose loose situation.

"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

-Stephen Jay Gould

I feel there are undertones of racism in most religions. He was also raised in a family that spouted the benifets of polygamous relationships. (While not actively practicing because it SD after all. )

An old man told me the same thing. Southern baptists used that same line of bullshit to justify both slavery and segregation. That is yet another example of people using religion as a justification to oppress and vilify others.

RE: Weird things theists have told you
I just read a really odd exchange on a Facebook apologetics group.

Poster: Is it God's will for a bipolar person to take medicaiton?

Moron 1: Bipolar is just demon possession. The meds make you weaker to fight it off.

<back and forth between Moron 1 and a more sane person about this dangerous advice>

Moron 2: Perhaps the only demon possessed ones are non-Christians.

Moron 3: ^^^ EXACTLY!

RE: Weird things theists have told you
Just last year my sister-in-law said to us, don't you think the end times are coming?
No, why do you?
Well there are those landslides in Oregon.

A little further talk and we determined that all natural disasters are a sign the end times are coming. In which case that ought to have come a long long time ago.

* * *

Other goodies over the years include:

You really believe in god, you just don't know that you do.

Hell is justifiable because everyone has to decide whether to believe sometime.--- Lutheran at the doorstep.

Black people are the descendants of Ham. ---- Apparently seeing your father naked darkens the skin. Said by an Identity Christian.

Black/dark skin is a sign of sin and if you believe in god and become a good Mormon your skin will get lighter. --- A Mormon of course.

Only people born of Adam and Eve, as opposed to those other people god created, will go to heaven. ---- A non-denominational Evangelical.

The King James Bible, and none other, is inerrant.--- Southern Baptist

Americans are the new chosen people.--- A Jehovah's Witness.

God behaved the way he did in the OT because the Jews are a stubborn people.---Same Jehovah's Witness

People who have never heard the word of god will go to heaven, but people who have heard and misinterpreted the word of god will not. I'm here to bring you the word of god. --- Catholic

Babies are proof god exists.

Genesis contains one story after another about who the nations surrounding Israel come from. Naturally, they tend not to be very flattering to the other nations.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god.  If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.

Well, if we are going to use this forum as examples, Drich's thread about how we are bad because we don't support torture ranks up there as being very bizarre.
