Lilith666 Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 Oh, I'm aware of that. This person commented on an article about people getting upset over the Gaines from the Fixer-Upper show attending an anti-gay church that persecuting people for their beliefs was just as wrong as persecuting them for their sexuality. Ahem. When have Christians been imprisoned not for denying people rights because of their beliefs, but for their actual beliefs? When were they denied rights to their families because of their beliefs? I don't care what the Gaines think, just that they are probably donating to their evangelical church so they can spread their poison to other countries that aren't aware of Christian stupidity. I'm so glad this branch of religion is dying. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diddlyboop Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 On Facebook I have a lot of Christian friends, and unfortunately a lot of posts in my feed are like this, which is the reason I rarely go on myself. But a pastor I follow has all sorts of posts about miracles he attributes to God. For example, on his recent trip to Italy, it was extremely foggy and he wanted to get pictures when it was brighter, so he asked God to make it brighter outside. According to him, in less than five minutes, the fog was gone and the sun was out, giving him more proof there was a God behind it all. Now, I don't know how long on average it takes for fog to clear up, but even if I were to take on his stance and immediately consider it Gawd's work-- why does God spend time doing little things like clearing clouds when he could be ending world hunger? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People look for patterns to prove God, when they find patterns this proves God to them. It's a self reinforcing cycle. My Grandfather in his later work years was harassed by two members of his work. Within one year one man's wife and child were burned alive in a car accident, then recently his ex boss suffered a major stroke. It wasn't said in as many words, but the inference was that Karma had gotten these men, possibly even judgement from God. Whereas this was random occurrence that was attached to being harassed. As to how fast fog clears depends on conditions but can clear within minutes. I was looking for a steel rule the other day, wandered around. Uttered a prayer to find it, saw it and immediately said "thank the lord". I'm atheist, go figure! To answer your question I quote Sam Harris: "This kind of faith really is the perfection of narcissism: “God loves me, don’t you know? He cured me of my eczema; he makes me feels so good while singing in church; and just when we had given up hope, he found a banker who was willing to reduce my mother’s mortgage.” Given all this god of yours does not accomplish in the lives of others, given the misery that’s being imposed on some helpless child at this instant, this kind of faith is obscene."

Diddlyboop Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Yeah, it was pretty thick fog but I figured even that could be just plain coincidence. Seriously, priorities, God!

rjn Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Okay, so not the usual meme or stupid picture, but I stumbled upon this one on twitter and didn't know where else to post it, so here goes:"please convert back to the religion of your ancestors. i want you to be a muslim because if you were hit by bus and died you will go straight to hell unless you repent and ask allah for forgiveness" Adressed to an ex-Muslim atheist. Don't we recognize this kind of reasoning somehow? ^^ It's not the first time I'm trying to make this case, but people who're caught up in the whole deconversion process should really check out the arguments made by Muslims, and see how strikingly similar (and equally full of BS) they are to ones made by Christians.

Storm Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 The pic isnt necessarily Christian, but it was posted by a fundy on my FB feed and everyone was commenting that they were all children of the king and all that Christian vomit. I think the most destructive thing I have ever done is believe the "kings" opinion of me. Glad I don't see myself that way anymore. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L.B. Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Regarding a person's recovery from a near-failure of some organs: "Amen... we know He didn't need the oils to heal him but He did allow us to use them for reasons for His glory" This person changed their diet and used essential oils and other homeopathic treatments. and their body responded. I'd love to know what would have happened if they had foregone the oils and treatments and had just "prayed". Nothing would have happened. They would have either listened to their doctors and gotten well, or they would have had "faith" and organ failure and death. Idiots. Their god didn't "need" anything to affect a "healing", but god sure didn't prevent the proven remedies from working they way they have for 5.000 years or so. You know... since the time of the magic boat with all the millions of animal species in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
