Stupid things religious people say
RE: Stupid things religious people say

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

India's Rat Temple.

It has milk in which holy rat turds float and which locals drink because they think it has healing powers.

Alvin Plantinga destroys evolution with philosophy.
Although it was too embarrassing to write that in the title, so they switched evolution with Richard Dawkins, thus Plantinga is debunking Dawkins explaining natural selection.

“Women are bitches, and they need a man to train them”

Isabella Riley Moody tells young Christian women to "find a man that's very misogynistic" and will "put you in your place": "He always will nitpick everything because he's literally training me how to be a good Christian wife."

I love when the loonbags start spouting about retribution, reckoning, and the avenging hand og godiboi after any natural disaster. Sort of negates that whole freewill thing, doesn't it?

How can an all loving entity that has punishment already planned, punish you anyway while you are still alive?

The music composer for the film "The Passion of the Christ" was attacked by Satan

John Debney is used to writing movie scores for comedies like Liar, Liar and Bruce Almighty, but he admits that composing the score for Mel Gibson's powerful movie, The Passion of the Christ, was the most difficult assignment of his life.

Debney said that the battle he felt with Satan as he wrote the music became "really personal between us." He went on to say, "I had all these computers and synthesizers in my studio and the hard drives would go down and the digital picture that lives on the computer with the music would just freeze on his [Satan's] face. Then the volume would go to ten and it would happen all the time.

"The first time it happened, it scared me. Once I got over the initial shock of that, I learned to work around it and learned to reboot the computers and so I would start talking to him.

"There was one day when I had been on the movie for about four months when it really became bad that day and a lot of things that were causing doubt in me and I had had enough. The computers froze for about the tenth time that day and it was about nine o'clock at night and so I got really mad and I told Satan to manifest himself and I said, 'Let's go out into the parking lot and let's go.' It was a seed change in me. I knew that this was war. I am not a physical person, but I was really angry on this occasion.

"I am up on the second floor and on the bottom floor of my building there are therapists and they see patients until midnight and their windows are right at the parking lot and I was coming down the stairs and I had had it. I had booted everything down and saved it and I was walking down the stairs and I was verbalizing and saying to Satan, 'Manifest yourself right now.' As I am walking out and saying, 'Come on, let's go now,' I looked over and I could see someone looking at me and I realized how silly I must have looked." He didn't manifest himself, but I wished he would have. It changed for me after that."

This one time, I was watching porn....I mean a romcom, and my computer froze on this scene of wholesome exploding love, it was obviously Halle Berry attempting to communicate that she wanted to be the woman that I was thinking about instead of the one on my computer at the moment. After that, I was a changed.

Now I only watch romcoms twice a day.

My bold.

If only they'd apply that sanity check when they're thinking about it (or in this case, having a full blown internal dialogue) , not just when they think people can see them. I guess we should just be thankful that he didn't go so far as to project the Devil onto the guy he saw and end up beating up some random bloke in the street.
