Stupid things religious people say

[Fake Messiah]

Ah, venerated Christian "intellectuals"

If we really thought there were people going about who had sold themselves to the devil and received supernatural powers from him in return and were using these powers to kill their neighbours or drive them mad or bring bad weather, surely we would all agree that if anyone deserved the death penalty, then these filthy quislings [i.e., traitors] did.

Stupid Shit Religious People Say.

SSRPS- God created everything

Me- Was god ever alone with nothing else? What was the first thing it invented?

SSRPS- He didn't invent anything. It was already existing.

[Fake Messiah]

"Jesus uses various ways to bring the kingdom of God at hand. One way he demonstrates the power of the kingdom is by casting out demons. These acts show that the kingdom of darkness and the evil one are losing power to the kingdom of God precisely because Jesus is present to expel demons by his authoritative word. "

I've read this a few years ago and it still hurts me. I do wish that Christians read this and smarten up

When I was a resident training in ob-gyn, I witnessed the full-term birth of a baby with what’s known as Potter syndrome—a dramatic decrease of amniotic fluid in utero usually related to the failure of the kidneys to develop properly. Abortion would normally have been the recommended course, but this woman was a fundamentalist Christian, and she opted to bring the pregnancy to term because, as she told me, she was praying for a miracle. In the absence of amniotic fluid production, which in turn results in the absence of fetal lung development, this baby was born at thirty-nine weeks—a girl, as I recall—and I stood by and watched, in horror, as she died. She grunted and made efforts to inhale as the oxygen hunger built up in her body, but there was no lung capacity. Born at term, the baby could feel pain, and, even if she couldn’t interpret anything like self-consciousness, she must have felt all the anxiety and panic that would accompany suffocating to death. In this case, an absolute reverence for life led to a situation that, to my eyes, consisted of nothing less than pure cruelty."

- Dr. Willie Parker

This woman, like many other Christians, thought that God was testing her and that she just needs to pray more and believe more and that God will grant her a miracle she was promised since she was a child, resulting in a despicably inhumane act that could have been avoided.
