The Dumbest Remark You've Ever Heard About Your Religious Belief

[Revoltingest]

Things told me.....

- I serve Satan.
- I really do know God exists.
- I hate God.
- I'm the one with faith.
- I'm not brave enuf to believe.
- God will get you.
- I'm wrong because most people believe.
- Atheists are fanatics.
- There's nothing preventing me from robbing banks & murdering.
- I'm spiritually dead.
- I have no morals.
- Life has no meaning for me.
- Science is a religion.
- I think that I'm God.
- I worship myself.

Dang...this list just keeps growing as memories pop up.

That atheists bravely 'see the world as it really is' rather than relying on 'comforting myths' like religious folk do.

It's stupid because we all rely on comforting myths be they religious or otherwise. Some of us just lack the self-awareness to realise this or seem to think that irreligious narratives are somehow fundamentally different to religious ones.

Those sound familiar.
Did I tell you that?

"We're all Noahides too!"

- Christians, Muslims, Baha'is. ​

 

[ProveYourFaith]

The dumbest I think is referring to my faith as liberal not knowing the difference in UU and BU.

 

[Sunstone]

That agnostics are "fence sitters" who lack the character to be decisive in matters of religion.

Or something to that effect. Richard Dawkins is among those who've said it. What Dawkins and others overlook is that the truth is not something determined by the passion with which one holds one's position. And the truth seems to be that, in the end, there are things we don't know.

Richard Dawkins needs to stick to science.

Hey, is that really a thing?
Aren't you just Jews who are allowed to eat pork rinds?

Ew, pork.

Yes, some Christians &c. think they fit the Noahide label too. It's crazy, because one of the tenets is not to create a new religion.

Noahides is a real thing I am one. I believe in the seven laws. I didn't know I was one till I looked into it first coming across Rival. I bet I'm a lot of things but not aware of it. The lit. I read-only requires the acceptance of the Seven Laws. The term Christian is a latter title to a form of Judaism.

If you believe Jesus was the Messiah, you are not. If you have added anything to the beliefs of the Jews, you are not.

How does one start a thred (Topic)

Go into the desired area (i.e., religious debates) and click top right, 'Post New Thread'.

 

[ProveYourFaith]

That's fine.

She means "area" instead of "are".

Getting emotional support from believing invisible dudes with long white beards, 'cos you can't handle science? Ok.

At least it should be warm and fairly free of pious preaching.

Actually, I think hell is nothing but people preaching that they were right and everyone else is wrong. So, imagine being tied to a chair with Jerry Falwells and Pat Robertsons everywhere, non-stop Rush Limbaughs and Donald Trumps, all day and all night, forever and ever and ever until your brain turns to oatmeal, all the while while fire ants eat your eyes. In other words, it's like turning on the news today, only you can't turn it off or find a voice of sanity anywhere to sooth the pain.

I'd take that any day over Kent Hovind.

That I can't be moral unless I agree with them.

That life has no meaning unless I agree with them.

That I cannot experience love since I don't agree with them.

There will be a million of him too.

Your dream is interesting, says much of your personality.
