I'm sure I could come up with some really good, juicy ones if I dug deep enough into my memory bank... But I'm going to go with the two most RECENT ignorant things I was told by a Christian. They sort of tie into each other too.
1. That left to our own devices, humans would be out murdering, killing, stealing, raping, rioting, etc. etc. He honestly said that.
2. This same guy told me that one CAN be good without believing in god, which is contradictory to what he said just minutes before this (the first example above), but that being a good person in and of itself is not enough to get into heaven. You HAVE TO accept Jesus Christ as your lord and savior to be accepted into the kingdom of heaven.
Wow. Just wow.
Also, the general attitude of many Christians is just so darn arrogant. They have this look-down-their-nose-at-you attitude that screams "Hopefully some day you'll know better." They almost treat you like an atheist who will one day be Christian. They never truly accept that you're just an atheist. There's always this "one day you'll see" speech that they have waiting for you in the back of their minds. Not all Christians. But many. Yet atheists are apparently the arrogant know-it-alls. Like WOW.
