That Jesus fed 5,000 people with 5 loads of bread and two fish. That's a good one!

"As an atheist, what do you rely on as your moral guide?"
I'm a creationist; I believe that man created God.
"It wasn't magic, it was a miracle!"
Yeah... those are synonyms, dude.
Don't mistake me for those nice folks from Give-A-Shit county.
It is stupid thing that religious person wrote but I think it qualify: [...]I would say the God had also good reasons for genocides, but because of atheistic bias not everybody see the good reasons of God.
There is only one good, knowledge, and one evil, ignorance.

My parents know what they are talking about ....
This from a happy clapper woman I once knew:
On the age of the earth, and existence of fossils. No problem; the earth is only 6000 years old and is as god created it. He created all fossils when he created everything else. She was a bit vague as to why god did that. I suggested that is was to confuse unbelievers. She thought that was probably the case. I've noticed that for some reason, that there are lot of evangelical christians especially who flatly reject climate change. One would think that reality would be seized by the faithful as proof that the end of days is approaching. Or at the very least, as evidence of God punishing the wicked atheists and other unbelievers.

God isn't supposed to be a trixter. Even if one doesn't accept evolution as a fact, why would a god make the appearance of evolution throughout nature. He could have created animals with no genetic connection at all to humans. He could have made apes with completely different DNA, say, to that of an alien dust mite, and Darwin wouldn't, or couldn't, have connected the dots and followed them to our nearest cousins. This is either an incredibly stupid god... or he doesn't exist and evolution is a fact.

Not convinced that can be reasonably argued for YHWH of the old testament . His treatment of Adam and Eve was pretty bloody slippery. Then there was poor Abraham; god demanded Abraham sacrifice his son ,and then sent an angel at the last minute to stop him. Fair dinkum, some of YHWH's behaviour is worthy of Loki. Of Course, rather than coming up with colourful ways to explain God's behaviour, I prefer Occam's razor . That leaves me at your statement "---- or he doesn't exist and evolution is a fact."

Seems to me that everything the religious say qualifies as "stupid."

Her reply "it's a pill which makes you pray" My other aunt told me; If you eat too much sugar ,your arms and legs will fall off. Also ,if you swallow your chewing gum, it will wrap itself around your heart and kill you. As an adult, I could see they were each a little odd. As a child, I worshipped them; it was like having two extra mothers, except these were far more indulgent. An old clip. Irish comedian Dave Allen, on religion. A child's misunderstanding comes up at 4.47, but the whole clip is worth watching. Very funny and very clever. Catholics and other religious hate that; laughing at them takes away their mystery and their power .

What on earth can one say of such insensitive, stunning humbuggery? Perhaps begin with "What a cunt------
Not being a parent, I am unable to imagine the depth of that poor woman's anguish. I'm truly sorry I'm unable to attend the protest. (Only becauseI live in Australia) |
