Ever hear a christian say something so stupid.(Horror stories here)

[Brian37]

Thats not new to atheists really. I have on a couple of occasions been asked if I don't worship god do I worship Satan.

Horrible argument, yes. But I think Christians and Sunnis and gays living in Iran have more to fear than the ineptitude of the credulity that argument.

Keep in mind Japan had a few years back a nutbag superstitious idiot gas their subway as a terrorist act. If the worst you have to be asked is "If you don't worship God, do you worship Satan" you are doing good.

Not saying don't counter the argument, by all means do. Bitch slap them verbally if you have to. But the underpinnings of superstition in our species are always there, so you simply do your best to counter their arguments without getting tribal and violent as theism gets.

I once had a bad cup of coffee at an Al-Anon meeting, does that count?

[Walking Void]

Only if they professed some sort of verbal diarrhea after drinking the coffee.

LOL really?

Really truly. Mind, this was in NI when everything - and I do mean everything was determined by which side of the peace walls you were on.

People are stupid. What else is new? I think the stupidest I've personally heard (on a very long airplane flight) is that the song "Running with the Devil" is proof that Satan is in direct control of the rock and roll industry. That's someone with a low standard of proof.

It never occurred to them that there might be a little satire and metaphor in music, apparently.

If religion was taught in school as a virus, that person would be like the final stage photo. "And here kids is where you will end up if you take the bible seriously." "Miss, that man looks very dumb" "yes kids they sometimes do"

Wait...you mean Satan is NOT in direct control of the rock and roll industry?

Well, that's bloody disappointing.

I had one fundy Christian flatly deny that Jesus was Jewish.
That was pretty good.

'Ok, but are you a Protestant atheist or a Catholic atheist?'

LOL really?

I think I should start saying I'm an atheist more, seems like I've missed a lot of fun reactions by saying "I don't believe".

You often times get a much different reaction to saying the actual word "atheist" than you do to other variations like non believer, etc. People seem to have a much more visceral reaction to that particular label.
