Religious claims that get under your skin

RE: Religious claims that get under your skin
Presuppositionalism is a travesty of logic, and once you fall into it, no one else can help you out of it, because you pulled the hole in after you on your way down. You have to dig yourself out or stay buried, and I've never encountered someone who's actually come back from Presuppositionalism.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.

That is priceless on so many levels.

I think I originally got the idea from a comment on another forum.  Before I knew it, I had created a real one out of a piece of oak I had in my workshop, and carved Futhark runes on it that say the equivalent of "Idiot Stick" in Old Norse.

Yes, I have way too much time on my hands sometimes...

Those who think they can speak for me (I usually tell them they're not qualified to do that).
"It's just a theory".
"You can't have any morals"
"What bad thing happened to you as a child that made you turn away from god?"


So many others...

Pretty much anything from this list: http://www.weirdcrap.com/recreational/cliche.html
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

My favorite is when people claim that god is, essentially, unknowable, but then they decide to speak for it, including the motivations behind what it may or may not be doing at this very instant.

Yeah - "God is unkowable. Let me spend the next ffity pages telling you what I know about it..."

"You're taking it out of context!"
"God told me..." - why can't he speak for himself?
"Who are you to question god??" - Apparently I'm one of the curious, thinking beings that this god of yours created. But now you don't want me to question, motherfucker?

RE: Religious claims that get under your skin
A big one for me:

That my disability is part of god's plan, and that I'm meant for some sort of special purpose/destiny because of it. It's the height of insulting bullshit, designed to make the person saying it comfortable. I'd much rather be able to stand, walk, piss, shit, eat, etc. on my own, thanks.
