Dumb Things Theists Say

Dumb Things Theists Say
Not entirely sure if this is in the right section, but having just had a rather big debate with some theists on Twitter I thought it'd be good to share some of the dumbest things you've read.

I've seen some dumb things in my time, but I think this one takes the biscuit

Theist: God heals everyone who deserves it
Me: Tell that to the millions of cancer suffers
Theist: They're obviously not religious enough
Me: Really? People who pray everyday for help aren't religious?
Her: Real religious people wouldn't get cancer

I mean, come on! I asked her to provide statistics to prove that, she of course failed and resulted to blocking me!

Theists tend to have a special logic all their own which when questioned about they become upset and spew forth more nonsensical tidbits. Having a special belief requires special pleading, after all.

RE: Dumb Things Theists Say
Islamists in Egypt and other middle east countries say that if they could apply Sharia completely their countries will, spontaneously, become the strongest united countries in the world and Islam will control all countries including the US. They say also that the US and the European West are afraid of the "Islamic project" because they know that it is a successful ideology which will destroy their colonial ambitions.

They say also that the reason their countries are retarded and poor is that Muslims there don't comply with God laws so God is punishing us for neglecting his religion.

Those people do really exist ! I see them everyday !

RE: Dumb Things Theists Say
If you come back at special pleading with real, objective logic, they will soon back themselves into a corner...and they get nasty at that point.

The other day, I commented on a Christian's YouTube channel...and not in the way he wanted me to. Instead of telling me why I was wrong (which he couldn't do anyway) he proceeded instead to tell me that my comments are meaningless because he had x number of YouTube channels, y number of subscribers, and he was an important family member in a long line of wealthy families. I told them that if all he was going to do was try to compare the size of his dick to mine, that I wouldn't reply to any more of his messages. He then threatened to block me. So I blocked him first. He caught wind of it, messaged me from another account, and instead of toning things down for a more constructive debate, which is what he should have done at that point, he called me an asshole and asked if I was a fag. I blocked that account too. Wink

The dumbest thing a theist can say is "In the beginning" because it is all downhill after that.

Not in any particular order:

Kalam's Cosmological argument.

Teleological argument.

Ontological argument.

Transcendental argument for existence of god.

They are all fallacious. Yet, so many theists believe they are compelling.

Dumb, dumb, dumb...

You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.
