Priceless Quotes Directed At You By Theists...

Libertarianism: The belief that out of all the terrible things governments can do, helping people is the absolute worst.
Re: Priceless Quotes Directed At You By Theists...
The most infuriating , and actually common thing a theist would direct at me is while i ask them to explain something they say "God made it so".
....when i ask them how they know that......."You don't have to believe me , buts thats what i believe"...YEAH RIGHT.....THANK YOU .
This is the ultimate scapegoat.The omniscient omnipotent creature did it for its own purpose and by its own method that is not understandable by mere mortals.

"You mean you don't believe in Gawd?! Whaddaya think we came from? Monkeys?!"
"Why do you hate God so much?"
"With God, the impossible becomes possible." This was after remarked how impossible it was for Noah to put two of every creature on Earth onto his ark.

People think "queue" is just "q" followed by 4 silent letters.
But those letters are not silent.
They're just waiting their turn.

A variation of this argument was put by the priest directly to the congregation at a funeral attended by my wife. It went something like, "We know that [dead person] will be in heaven and this joy gives us so much to live for. People who do not believe in god and heaven have no meaning in their lives, and no reason to keep on living."Animavore wrote:If there's no heaven and life has no meaning then why don't you kill yourself?
As she said (angrily) on her return, wouldn't that argument really go the other way around, that you should top yourself early to get to heaven and escape life's pain, but hang on to life and its pleasures as an atheist?

Yes, that one pretty much gets me laughing every time. I usually follow up with, "How could I hate something that doesn't exist? Do I hate Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, the Tooth Fairy, or the Honest Politician?"tattuchu wrote:"Why do you hate God so much?"
Actually, the dumbest one I heard was that someone had created a "Christian" version of the 12-step program. This after reading a nice long thread about how theistic the 12-step program was, and what alternatives existed for atheists with addictions. I still don't see the justification for creating a whole new Xian AA program.

Re: Priceless Quotes Directed At You By Theists...
I met a guy this weekend who claimed to be a run-away from Plymouth's (UK) Scientology lizard freaks. Now he says he's happy to have found gawd..
Me: so why, after you say you felt Scientology caused you so much doubt, have you chosen another group of nut-bars?
Him: well you've got to have faith in something, right?
Me: Why don't you just have faith in yourself and stand up and face the world? In fact, why choose this crap over the other nonsense, what makes this better than the one you ran from?
Him: You can't prove Christianity wrong (he's been groomed methinks), but Scientology is obviously rubbish.
Me: +
Couldn't be bothered after this..

I've posted this before (paraphrasing):
"Atheism is inconsistent. There's no such thing as a true atheist. If you really believe there's no God, why aren't you out there killing other humans in your 'survival of the fittest'"?
My personal nemesis in these arguments, though, goes something like this:
Me: Lengthy detailed explanation of example which proves evolution.
Theist: But that's rubbish.
Me: (exhausted and disbelieiving what I'm hearing) How is it rubbish?
Theist: It just is.
Well, you got me theere. How come I never thought of it that way before?

Wow! I'm a little suprised that we only have two pages of Theist quotes.
Maybe we are just doing this now --->

Re: Priceless Quotes Directed At You By Theists...
I got another good (?) one on Saturday night:
"Of course believing in God isn't rational or logical. None of it makes any sense! It's either something you believe or you don't believe."
What a bizarre statement. I replied "Well, you're making my arguments for me, so I guess we're done here."

The people of Haiti for example have prayed for his presence. He came to them in an earthquake to draw them closer to Him
Yeah...someone actually said that. He went by the name of "Jesuslovesatheists"

Something along the same line happened In one of my classes:
(someone not paying attention)
Teacher: "(name), this is god talking!"
(same person looks over)
Teacher: "This is god speaking to you!"
(some random student in the class) "There is no physical evidence for gods existence"
Teacher: "yeah, well, I have faith! But that's not something I wanna go into."
