I figure this will be a fun topic. I am in no way calling religious people stupid, just stating that they say silly things sometimes, and that is just my opinion based on observation. Non-religious people say stupid things too, we're all imperfect,
Anyway, comment below some goofy, ridiculous, or just downright illogical things you've heard said by a religious person.
A few of mine:
1.)"I love this bible verse" *points to verse about tossing unbelievers in a furnace*
2.)"Gayness isn't normal, they can pray it away, it's just like any other sin!"
3.)"GOD CREATED MARRIAGE, ADAM AND EVE, NOT ADAM AND STEVE!!"
4.)"People who worship other gods are wrong. They are blinded by Satan."
5.)"I lost my virginity to a guy I didn't marry, I was damaged property." (A good example of how religion distorts sexuality)
6.)"If you have sex with a guy too soon he will leave you. Why buy a cow when you get the milk for free?"
7.)"Maybe if there was prayer in school, less shootings would take place."
8.)"So tell me more about how we came from monkeys, why are there still monkeys, huh?!"
9.)"But black people might have came from monkeys..." (Actual words)
10.)"Stop denying *insert name here* in your heart!"

11. {upon learning you are an atheist] "And you seemed like such a nice person!
I once did a what a Christian (not knowing I am atheist) considered to be a really good thing for other people, and they handed me a Jesus pamphlet and I responded, "No, thank you. I am an atheist." and then they called me an evil devil a worshipper.
You don't look like an atheist...
How do you know what is right and wrong. Do you have morals?
(Upon further discussion once discovering i do in fact have morals and am not a serial killer) Oh you're not a real atheist then...
When my Mom learned i was an atheist: "Okay, I know you don't believe in God, but don't you still believe that Jesus is the son of God and your savior?" -_-
After she thought about that for a second: "Well who do you think is going to be your intermediary?"
Me: "Intermediary for what, mom? You are making no sense."
Mom: "I jyst dont understand how you could not believe in Jesus and God."
Lol, clearly you don't.
Sounds exactly like what my mom said! Lol
12. "I understand how you might not believe in god, but why choose atheism?". (Implying that atheism is somehow much much more than not believing in god).
Just read anything in the debate room by Chuck, Maryam, Gerry, et al.
How about when they find out that you're an atheist, they say, "I'll pray for you."
My mom still messages me daily devotions lol
My mother used to send me Jesus chain letters. I told her if she continued I'd send her porn. She stopped.
My gramma does that
Capt, I get that one all the time. That or either, "your gonna burn in hell." Really? That's so nice of them to say. Do they not realize how rude and insulting, "I'll pray for you" is? Its insinuating that you're inferer to them and that you're pretty much a POS that needs their help. If I hear the Adam and Steve line again I'm slapping someone. That is by far the dumbest thing I ever heard and people cling to it as if it holds merit.
"You should read the Bible." Is my favorite. Why? Because most Christians haven't. I stopped being a Christian because I read the Bible. I usually tell them, "You should read the Bible."
I have a page liked on Facebook so I can get my fix. "Fundies Say The Darndest Things"
-Why do scientists think the earth was millions of years old? It's only 2014 years old!
How about those stories that go around about a Christian being persecuted and then saying something really smart or performing a miracle? There was one about a xian in the military who was made fun of and then told to drive a jeep around the base and everyone fell to their knees and praised god when it drove because it didn't have an engine in it. (I still cannot laugh at that one it's so far fetched)
Someone told me that I will rot in hell, then I spit back "Bring it on!"
Why would you spend the whole Sunday in front of a computer? That is the time for god. "god who? Atleast video games thought me something new"
Your future family won't be happier w/o god in your heart. "Yeah, he has no space because it entirely occupied by my son and wife"
How would you be a good citizen w/o god in your heart. "Nope, I follow the man created law, and I am old enough to know what's good from wrong"
My aunt once told me that my life will be disturbing w/o god in my presence, "Soon, his 8yr old son was raped by a playmate, then said god has a reason why, I just lol'd hard honestly, but poor boy. My cousin was never the same again"
That weird moment when they try to relate? To you? idk I get this one a lot "So atheists are like satanist right?"
I never know what to say and I just sort of walk away like... Um not today...
"Pray the Gay away "
"In the name of the father, the son, and the Holy Spirit, I hope they save you " then I'm just like aren't they the same person? Cause then wouldn't it be I hope " it" saves you?
"So you don't have morals?" I laughed in this persons face cause I was like we've been friends for two years and I was like really?! Yeah, Im going to go do bad things just cause you found this out .-.
I had an Uncle (after finding out I was an atheist) ask me: “So you believe people die like dogs with no life after death?” I said yes, and if you find that hard to believe let me ask you who created god? Did he just appear? Who created him? He replied, “well you just have to have faith” and I replied I do in science and facts. That was the beginning of the end for future interactions between him and I. No more fishing trips.
When a christian finds out I am a non-christian and they ask "Oh, what religion are you?" As if everyone must be some religion.
God is love is the most stupid thing one can think.
In the town where I live, there is a big neon sign that says "God Is Love"
Everyone uses it as a landmark.

If someone call this is love, he is stupid enough to be a danger for humanity
Yesterday someone told me they were not a theist but they were a christian, they didn't believe in the supernatural but they were spiritual, and they didn't believe in God but they believe Christ is life and that he died for all mankind. When I asked what exactly he meant by that, he said "It's very personal to me." That was the best I got.
Wow, that's a new one! I just rolled my eyes so far I saw my own brain ;-)

Lol Jeff, you have a video for everything don't ya?
That was great!
Yea lol
I love watching videos that make fun of stupid theist arguments.
It is my hobby :P
It makes it more funny when most people around you believe such nonsense :)
My favorite- "Well this is just a passing phase. Everyone loses their faith sometimes and questions their belief." and/or "Someday it will all become clear to you."
I can't count the amount of times I've heard that one from my mother! I think the only reason people go back to religion is because they were brainwashed with it for so long. It's like relapsing in a state of desperation and accepting imaginary friends for comfort.
Agree, some of them just miss it too.
When they have believed for so long that they have an imaginary friend that looks after them, agrees with them and guides them at the same time, it is hard to let go of that to be alone.
The delusion of that is that they did not know that they were always alone but imagining their imaginary friend still helped them.
I too have not just one imaginary friend, an entire world build for me in my mind,
I even have my own universe all built in my imagination and I still go there sometimes when I feel that I need a place where everything goes my way or that everything has a purpose.
BUT I always know what reality is, I do not let my imagination effect and control this reality.
I am in control and responsible for my actions.
There is no scapegoating like Jesus is for Christians.
