What statements do you get bored of hearing from theists and religious people?
I've had the "but what if you're wrong" argument. Like that's any reason to be religious.
@tnorman1236 Once again, lets all make all of our decisions and actions out of fear.
God will never give you more than you can handle.
@OlderMusicGeek Better yet.....my daughter shadowed a medical examiner for months....they saw a suicide either everyday or every other day.
I hate the way religious people attribute every good achievement mankind makes to God. by the same token when bad things happen they never say it was God who must have made it happen. This to me is completely illogical and as a Humanist I find not giving people who have created great things by their own effort and ingenuity, but attributing everything to a mythical figure, dismissive of human ability.
I tried to explain this to my parents this dichotomy to my parents. It’s a form of brainwashing, as well as social acceptability.
"God is so good!" Statement made after cancer went into remission after many treatments by a science trained doctor. This and other things said, giving the credit to God that should have been given to a living breathing human being.
I'll pray for you. Don't bother. I'm not praying.
My sisters and I were raised Catholic. I quit church at 16, at 24 I got married in a Lutheran church and my sister remarked, "well you're getting some religion at least".
Yes, America is a Christian Nation. It even says in god we trust on our money.
It didn’t used to say that. It wasn’t always like that. Eisenhower had it put on there in 1957.
@Cbabcoco I know. This post was about things you hate hearing from Theists.
I wonder if God fearing Americans still trust God after the copious amounts of armed offences against the citizenship of late. I wonder what they trust God to be doing. If it were a security company I would change my provider!
"Jesus loves you, too!"
They swarm around my workplace because they know no one will kick them out, since we don't lease the parking lot. Target can kick them out, but we can't. It's really amusing when they send out a new guy. Once they've come by a few times, they remember me as the chick who won't contribute to religious organizations. But it's really annoying until then...
I ask them if Chuy's is serving free lunch. Chuy's is a restaurant here in Houston (really good), and Chuy is hispanic nikcname for Jesus. Or tell them good you'll visit Chuy's house when you get home. Just something ...
Its god's will/ plan. God does not give you more than you can handle. You are going to hell if you don't give your life to Jesus.
“God has a plan for you.” Yeah well, if god is so powerful but I can resist his will, I have a degree of power over him, so don’t tell me God has a plan for me when I have the power to resist him at all.
“The universe came from nothing, so what caused something to exist if there was nothing?” No professional person claims that the universe came from nothing, we have yet to scratch the specific origins of the universe, let alone what came before. We can do the Big Bang, but that isn’t so much an event of the universe’s origins as much as it is a series that describes the origins of the universe.
"Did you know that in Islamic Law? A..."
"As a Chrisitan..." As an athiest..." "What goes round comes round" "I'll pray for you" Lazy abbreviated text (LOL, LMAO, IMO etc.) "Looking for love" "Instant karma" "I'm doing it for the kids"
The bible says.
The Bible.....which I can’t even type into this reply without it being capitalized says a lot of things that negate the very actions of these people who are supposed to be Christ like.
Make up a quote that goes against the one they just rattled off. And tell it to them. They'll go the Bible doesn't say that. Tell them to look it up for themselves: in Hezikiah 9:18 or some chapter / verse. Hezikiah is one of the books pulled out by the Catholic church, so they'll go nuts trying to find it.
The Bible... Wasn't that written by P. T. Barnum?
"God told me to.... 1) go to the bank today; 2) eat a tuna fish sandwich for lunch; 3 to infinity - any number of mundane activities..."
"It wasn't me who did a good job on (whatever), it was Jesus."
