Title: Dumb things theists say .
Post by: leo on July 24, 2013, 11:45:48 AM
What is the dumbest stuff you ever heard from a theist ?  When something good happens " thank god " and when something  bad happens "god works in mysterious ways". This always make me laugh. :rollin:  :rollin:

The most ridiculous thing that all christians say is a bad stab at logic.
Christian talking to an atheist: "Well if your wrong about heaven you should accept god just to be safe."

The idea that God gave us free will, but gets angry when we use it, makes no sense to me. It's like giving your child a box of matches and then getting angry when he sets the house on fire.

Things like when someone saves a theists child or loved one,  (Like a doctor, fireman, policeman etc) and their first response is Thank you God or thank you Jesus and then ignore the person who is directly responsible for saving that loved one is not only stupid but so ungrateful it tends to upset me.

Also when a theist sits down at my table knowing I don't believe in their god and says "Let us pray".

Or how about when someone you love dies and their response is "well he/she is in a better place"

hahaha where do i start!? arguing with a theist is like arguing with a retarded child, and i don't mean this in an offensive way its just how i really have come to feel. some of the dumb things i have heard goes from "there is no way evolution is real cause my granddad wasn't a monkey." i would say something like "well of course not, we didn't evolve from monkeys since monkeys are still around but we share a common ancestor." :)   Of-course only to be greeted with a look of distaste and unwillingness to understand or even think about what they are told they continue to say things like, "oh well there is no proof for evolution science makes mistakes!! evolution cant be real".(dont even get me started on that statement.) Now also, I skimmed through the other posts and saw some other things i have heard people say too, like "science is a religion" and the entire free will argument by god, i once gotten into a debate with a theist, where we got into a free will argument. If god is all knowing all powerful, created everything the way it is and knows everything that is going to happen.... where in the world is there room for free will, then i was greeted with another witty response "yes but god made man and gave them freewill, god can make freewill" i said something like "if god made freewill, does that mean he doesn't know what a person will do with their free will, what choices they will make? and if he doesn't know wont that make him no longer all powerful and knowing and if he does know what an individual will do and he made that person that way doesn't that mean there is no free will?" and the theist replies with something that blew my mind "No see its hard to explain no one can understand god he works in mysterious ways! god made humans with free will so they can experience it" and of course i was blown away by the ignorance and unwillingness to see reason or think logically even for a second, most theist are unwilling to question this notion of god the almighty.  This entire mentality of a theist is the dumbest thing i can think of not just what they say but the unwillingness to question what they have been told and to be skeptical..,

Similar to one I heard.  "God is so powerful that he could have created everything even if he didn't exist."

One that always makes me smile, because it's a theistic condemnation of theists, is "If God didn't exist, Christians would be terrible people, robbing and killing."  I guess that one didn't notice that most robbers and killers in the US are Christians.

They also ignore the children who are molested, raped, and abused by Christians, and the wars and murders committed in God's name, and the many other crimes committed by Christians. If some of them do these things even with Jesus and God in their lives, then I see no advantage to anyone to being a believer.

Another good one I heard recently was a theist asking a panelist on a talk show. "you can't tell me what happened one second before the big bang, therefore science can't answer everything so scientists only believe in science because they have faith".

It would be funny to have a thread of dumb things atheists say, but whenever I've run across one, it seems to only have things in it that we're often accused of saying but which I never seem to catch any of us actually saying; like 'Life came from nothing by accident!' or 'God doesn't exist because you can't prove he does!'

The main problem with that is that the really dumb stuff is usually the opinions of individual atheists, and not opinions commonplace among atheists as a whole.

Me:  What about people who are prayed for and die?

1.A day a Christian friend (Cafetaria Catholic like the majority of Catholics in France) said to me that Jesus probably did bullshits in his childhood.

2.A day my grand-father (A cafeteria Catholic) said to me that I must believe in God because all great civilisations had their(s) god(s) (Egyptians , Greeks , Romans etc...).

3.A day my grandmother (Catholic but what kind of Catholic difficult to say , I can say that she's a Cafeteria Catholic by ignorance)  said to me that if God was not real she knew that.
But she said a thing who is problematic because :
I.Many Hindus have a personal relationship with Krishna and Vishnu but these Gods does not exist. (Read a translation of the Vedas and you will understand the reason).
II.Many Muslims have a personal relationship with Allah but he does not exist (read a translation of the Qur'an and you will understand the reasons who explain that he's not real).
III.Many Vikings had a personal relationship with Thor (But Thor is not real).


4.When I was between 4-6 years old (I give a scale because I don't know exactly) my father said to me that if we pray the dead they will transmit our prayer to God. A real cafetaria catholic because he was not speaking about the saints.

5.A day a Muslim said to me that I refuse to accept that Adam and Eve did really existed because my brain is too small.
Seriously Adam and Eve never existed and the Quranic version of the story of Adam and Eve is a myth like the biblical version.
We have three problems :
I.Humans are not made with clay.
II.The evolution theory is true.
II.The woman existed in the same time of the apparition of the man.


6.In the category dumb things theist say , I can tell you that a day a Muslim said to me that the unbelievers must kill everybody because they don't believe in God and don't believe in afterlife.

7.A day a Muslim girl (rather a kafir [????]) said to me that we're not obligate to apply all Islamic prescriptions in the Qu'ran because we're in the XXIth century. Also she's a pro-choice and pretent being a feminist (she must read more about feminism).

8.A day I hear two Muslims boys who spoke about things like "the arrivals (they saw the French version called "Les arrivées" to know more about it : //http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/The_Arrivals) , the qur'an , the ahadith (usually hadiths but I prefer made a transcription in latin characters) etc...
