The "Stupid things Christians say" Thread

[Longhorn]

Oh jeebs and dice. Christian persecution

It makes me sad ._.

Like, being in the largest religious group in the world and in many cases the largest religious group in the country and at the same time saying you're persecuted require a special kind of cognitive dissonance and it reeks of egoistic paranoia.

Especially since many seem to think that others just having different views is persecution -_-

I see you've been browsing the bullshit at CFS again! I noticed that thread as well - the fuckedupness written there never ceases to amaze.

Check out the latest in the thread. It's priceless.

It's shocking and fascinating at the same time. If someone told the reply below to a doctor they would suggest seeking counselling for mental health problems.

Yep...years ago I had several of the same experiences. The world calls it sleep paralysis, but it is a demonic attack. In my case, there were demonic forces attacking my children, and I was a strong adversary against them because of Christ, so they wanted to "get" me. Being persistent in calling on the name of the Lord, searching one's heart for any gateway for these creatures to enter one's life and close them up will work well to shut them out for good.

Demon forces were attacking his children? What does that even mean? I hope that it doesn't mean that his kids were sick and he prayed instead of taking them to the doctor.

The CFS site is amazing me.

Once upon a time,
there was a divorced woman,
and I felt very sorry for her because she was getting on in years about 30 to 40
and had no husband or kids,
so I prayed for her, not up close but in my own prayers,
anyway within that year or the following, I don't know, maybe it was a prophetic prayer,
she had a one night stand and became pregnant, or maybe it was multinight stand I don't know,
but she didn't know she became pregnant
till one day she was having lunch in her car and out it came, the baby, it happens,
she had to use a scissors from the glove box to cut the cord and then get help,
she spent a couple of days in hospital, or so I heard.
She loves that little boy like gold, I think he is the centre of her universe.
but I sure won't pray that prayer again, let them pray themselves.

WTF?

Mind boggling indeed. As much as I try to imagine what dark and scary world exists inside the head of someone who writes shit like this I can't get close. Something like 'A nightmare on Elm Street' perhaps?

What planet are these people from?

What planet are these people from?

A very dim planet indeed.

Some Christians are not very intelligent; their IQ's are lower than average.
Some Christians are not very well educated; they are intelligent but ignorant.
Some Christians are not very well formed; they have intelligence and education but no solid spiritual guidance.
Some Christians are not very faithful; they know what the truth is but they are hypocritical.

etc, etc.

Does this mean that ALL Christians fall into one or more of those categories?

Putting the shoe on the other foot, how instructive (and fun!) would it be to create a thread of stupid things that atheists say?

Or would this be redundant?

[ignoramus]

the problem with that logic is:
All people are prone to say stupid things. Theists and Atheists alike. We're all human.
It's just that Religious people have that extra religious layer on top ...
We can knock Atheists all day, but you aren't knocking their beliefs because we don't have any.

When my husband was deployed I made the mistake of telling my mother that I was praying for strength, patience and wisdom. She immediately told me not to pray for those things because god would do horrible things in my life to teach me those values. Strangely enough, she wasn't the only person who expressed terror at asking for things like strength or patience. Apparently, some of these people believe if you ask for patience, for example, then god would create events in your life that would frustrate or even harm you so that you will learn patience.
