Most ridiculous religious experiences you’ve witnessed.
Here’s my list
- witnessed a church that will drag people from their seat to altar to force them to get saved
- Going to hell if women wear short pants or have short hair
- Going to hell if work at night
- Church kick a member out for getting divorce
- Bible justifies slavery and white supremacy
What are some ridiculous things you experience? These are just most absurd I’ve experienced

The whole cannibalism scene with bread and wine as body and blood seems really weird to me

At age 13, I became an atheist when I realized the Bible is just a book of stories written by men.
When I was 15, I had an overnight at a friend's house. "We'll take you home after church," her parents told said at breakfast. We piled into their station wagon.
At the church, people were talking in tongues, shrieking and falling on the floor, writhing with their eyes rolled up. "These people are crazy," I thought, horrified.
"I'll meet your outside after church," I told my friend and hustled out the door.

If you send me $10 god will bless you with a million back. Funny how those tv preachers never give to receive and only receive
Church sponsors a baskeball youth league. At halftime, they lock the doors of the gym to keep people in and force them to listen to them spout their religious BS.

@AnneWimsey They probably don't block the emergency exits, but you make a very good point.
@BD66 No doors enclosing the public can be locked, ever....
Had 4 youth begging me to visit there's last week. As that’s the kind of shit I envisioned - No way ~
I went with my husband to visit a Hindu temple when we were on Bali in Indonesia. The guide asked if any of the women were menstruating, because we wouldn’t be allowed to enter the innermost sanctum of the temple as we were unclean! I’m sure you can imagine my response!!

When you consider that all people came out of a uterus by way of a vagina and that we all have blood, then you read the bible where it says they pierced the side of Jesus and out came "blood and water" this makes no sense at all. What if someone nicked themselves shaving?
My daughter works for an American airline and they were told on one certain flight, if assigned, they were to inform anyone who asked if they were menstrual. It is a flight to Israel. That way, the passenger can decide if he wants service from that person or not. (Of course there are the rabbis who place themselves in large plastic bags for the flight) Her one cohort had a great response: "Honey, I'm going to be on my period any time I fly that trip. You don't want me to work, I'm fine with that."
@Beowulfsfriend My opinion on this is that this was priest way to feel superior to other passengers. That’s crazy as shit
@DenoPenno I think you’ll find that it is not blood per se but menstrual blood.
@abyers1970 rabbis usually- that I know - quick guess would be Hasidic Jews.
@Geoffrey51 This goes back to the religious know-it-alls that think the original sin was somehow related to sex and reproduction. Perhaps god's original way of getting here as mud men and rib women should have prevailed. God told the woman she would bear children in pain as a punishment for not doing things his way.
@DenoPenno This is true, but menstrual blood is taboo in many indigenous cultures for whatever reason. In this case it is based on Ayurvedic philosophy. It is suggested that menstrual taboo originated in hunter gatherer societies andcwas related to the hunt. See the work of anthropologist Prof Chris Knight.
