Dodger 0 Report post Posted February 2, 2005 What the title says. What's the stupidest and most asinine statement you've ever heard from a Christian?The pastor at the church my mother drags me too has said some truly dumb things in the past, to the point where I was both pissed off and saddened about the religion. Here are a few (paraphrased).A. "People say that the pastor brainwashes people. They're right. My job as a pastor is to wash your brain."B. "Ever since you were born, you sinned."

ill 0 Report post Posted February 2, 2005 The B part.. that's called original sin I believe. So when you are born, you already have sinned. It's true in the religion of Christianity and probably a few others too.The most appalling thing I've ever heard a "Christian" say is, "if you don't follow the word of God, I hope you go to Hell." Quoted directly from a certain elder person from my school. We were on the topic of some of the odd things in the Bible and she was set off her rocker. I was very shocked to say the least..

no9t9 0 Report post Posted February 3, 2005 My personal favorites are from a very famous christian."Facing clear evidence of peril, we cannot wait for the final proof, the smoking gun that could come in the form of a mushroom cloud.""They MISUNDERESTIMATED me.""They want the federal government controlling social security like it's some kind of federal program.""The fact that he relies on facts...says things that are not factual...are going to undermine his campaign."There are too many to list!

ThoughtVoid 0 Report post Posted February 4, 2005 Ok my answer is somewhat generic and a conversation that every fellow athiest has been engaged in during their lives sometime:"Do you believe X is true?" "Yes.""How do you know?""Faith/The bible"Either on of these two answers make me just walk away and shake my head as they finish the sentence. It's just to blatently ignorant.

no9t9 0 Report post Posted February 4, 2005 my previous post.. yes, the infamous George Jr.As for Thoughtvoid, I'm not sure what you are trying to say in your post. Being an athiest simply means you don't believe in a higher being. Why then would you mock someone who has faith? Why is it blatently ignorant to have faith in something?You may call me ignorant for this but... I personally believe calling someone ignorant for having faith or even having religious beliefs is ignorant. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I personally believe calling someone ignorant for having faith or even having religious beliefs is ignorant. 46517[/snapback] I agree. I mean I may not be the most religious person in the world, but I do believe it is good to have some faith. If you have no faith, in my opinion, you're so realistic that it may turn bad and you can come into a state of depression. It's good to believe in the belief that there's something after life for us.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Â The pastor at the church my mother drags me too has said some truly dumb things in the past, to the point where I was both pissed off and saddened about the religion. Here are a few (paraphrased). Â A. "People say that the pastor brainwashes people. They're right. My job as a pastor is to wash your brain." Â B. "Ever since you were born, you sinned." 46039[/snapback] Dodger,As a Christian I'm very offended with this topic that you've chosen. I can respect that you have your own opinion and that you have the right to post this topic, but I think that it insults my belief and slanders Christians in general. While I agree that we are to control our attitudes, speech and opinions, we are human as well...therefore we will make mistakes. And to explain B. above, all of us are/were born into sin (called original sin per Adam and Eve) and our only redemption to be with God is through his son, Jesus Christ. Listen, I was "dragged" to church when I was young by my mother and although I didn't like going to church every Sunday (Catholic) I thank my mother for her faith and willingness to obey God and "instruct me in the ways I should go." I am a better person, Christian, husband and father because of her influence. My goal in writing this is not to offend you or be overly "preachy", but if this is the case then so be it...Jesus wasn't liked by everyone and so I don't expect to be as well. I don't consider you my enemy and I don't wish to have any animosity between us... Â Please make wiser choices in selecting future topics. Thank You, Â God's peace to you, Â Byrdhouse Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Donegal 0 Report post Posted February 4, 2005 It's kinda stupid when you look at it, but I guess I'm not one to talk, every relgion assumes that all the other religions are wrong. But, anyway, I hear too many stupid things, but none as stupid as what I've seen here.I guess america is just the most religous country.. O_o not much different than islam, is it.. psh..

ill 0 Report post Posted February 4, 2005 America the most religious country? I really have to disagree on that one, maybe the most diverse religious country.. but not the most religious. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
