Annoying Christian sayings

[mstriumph]

I believe in the Invisible Pink Unicorn.

What? You think She doesn't exist?!

How can you tell me She doesn't exist? She's invisible! You can't prove that She doesn't exist.



Blessed Be Her Holy Hooves.

Bless you my child ....
but you really MUST stop telling people about me, you know - they'll think you are nutso

[Big Dave]

And so it was written; Never play leapfrog with a Unicorn.

[NOMIS]

this convo will go round and around for generations as it has done before, and its not just christians who try preach there faith non believers do exactly the same by questioning a persons faith. Yes some do say stupid things, So do people just because a person is question doesnt make then not Human or better than any one else,

Christianity/organized religion deserves everything it gets.

As do you

[Big Dave]

I deserve a new Buell.

[imdying]

Dave, I will pray that you get a new Buell.

[Headbanger]

As do you

sweeeeeeeeeet

I'm pretty happy with everything I have.

And if as I assume, when you die, You rot, I'll be able to look back and take pride in living a hell of a life.......Or perhaps just be scared out of my mind about dieing.

[Ixion]

I deserve a new Buell.

But what grave sin has the Buell committed that it should deserve you?.

[_Shrek_]

"it is appointed for man/woman to die once, but after this the judgment" Heb-9:27

now if I die & there is no Jesus (God) I have lost nothing but gained a way of life that was for the better for me & those around me

on the other hand if you don't know Jesus (God) before you die you loose every thing & You get to die twice

but the Lord gave us a choice, you've made your's & I've made mine

[Big Dave]

But what grave sin has the Buell committed that it should deserve you?.

How about taking me to the BRONZ meeting a week late?
I went - where were all you guys?

[jrandom]

now if I die & there is no Jesus (God) I have lost nothing but gained a way of life that was for the better for me & those around me

Yes, Pascal's Wager, etc.

But in my experience the 'way of life' involved is choking, mind-numbing, restrictive, judgmental and various other unpleasant things.

Definitely not a worthwhile trade-off.

What a crock of shit. There have been tens of millions of people murdered in the last 100 years as the result of someone believing an imaginary friend. How is that way of life better for anyone?

I'm an atheist. I don't kill anyone over their belief in an imaginary friend. I don't kill anyone because their method of praying to their imaginary friend is any different to mine. I don't kill anyone because of their ethnic background. I don't rape little boys, bomb abortion clinics, firebomb shopping malls, impose the death penalty on pre-teen girls who get raped, disown my children for marrying someone of a different faith, prevent my children from receiving life-saving medical treatment, consider women or black people or any other group as inferior*, commit acts of mental cruelty on children, tell anyone they're going to suffer for all eternity, or impose my rules and regulations on anyone.

Sure, I'll quite happily declare that I regard a belief in an imaginary friend as a sign of mental inadequacy. It doesn't matter whether you address that imaginary friend as God, Jesus, Allah, Jehova, Shiva, the Flying Spaghetti Monster or Penelope the Pink Unicorn, I will still regard blind faith in something completely intangible with no supporting evidence as a sign of stupidity.

But to (misquote) Pascale's wager and claim that your belief in an imaginary friend makes you a better person and life for those around you better is not only laughable, it's complete horseshit.

Possibly because even more people have been killed for even more ludicrous reasons in that time.

[Sanx]

Possibly because even more people have been killed for even more ludicrous reasons in that time.

Yes - tens of millions of people have been killed for reasons that didn't involve religion. But you don't find anyone using their atheism was an excuse for going out and committing genocide, do you? Therein lies the difference.

[Mikkel]

Possibly because even more people have been killed for even more ludicrous reasons in that time.

So what, in your opinion, could possibly be a more ludicrous reason?

Starvation?
Old age?
Disease?

Generally you won't see anything amounting to genocide without some grotesquely absurb reasoning behind it. Doesn't matter if it's religious or idealistic - but such acts are always perpetrated by an erronous belief and the people who blindly follow those who dictate the "word of god"*.

*The word of god being anything from religious scriptures to party policies - fanatism can be found many places.
