"Do you have refrigerators in Germany?" (*)
(*) Wait, oh, you wanted something they said *because* they are theists? 
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.

It was a discussion about the corporal punishment of children. (Of course I know you understood this, Beccs...but my stars, it sounded pretty idiotic at the time the Theist said it).

When they believe they deserve punishment for the actions of a mythical rib woman... There's something seriously disturbing about the battered spouse syndrome many theists have toward their deity.

Even for the nice religious theists who I respect, every so often I still can't help these little thoughts popping into my head...
"Doesn't it bother you that you sound totally crazy?" I know the situation is way more complex than that which is why I'd never announce it to someone, at least not until they cross a certain line with their spiel. Knowing where to draw that line is the hard part. All religious talk sounds just like crazy talk to me. I suppose... I'm using the filter of, "I don't believe you really believe that. I accept that you think you believe that, you've convinced yourself that you do, but your actions are not consistent with that belief." I'm not accusing anyone of being disingenuous, just of not being fully aware of what beliefs the subconscious parts of their brain use to make everyday decisions. It's once the actions are consistent with the professed beliefs that we have a crazy person. More commonly, some of the actions support the professed beliefs, and often these are the ones that trouble me the most such as persecuting others, or people frustrating themselves by denying aspects of their own identity. Feel free to send me a private message.

I was told recently that the unicorn mentioned in the bible is actually totally a reference to a rhinoceros.
Also it's so horrible how Christians are persecuted in this country. All the other religions are allowed to pray in public but Christians aren't.

"There is no evidence that supports Global Warming." (Irony) "Evolution is just throwing mud at the wall and hoping it sticks." "All other religions are cults." (Paraphrasing. There was a whole class on the fucking topic) "Satan was a dinosaur." |
