I once had a Catholic claim in youtube comments that the wine and crackers is only symbolically blood and flesh, and that I was trying to make them sound crazy by saying Catholics (at least are supposed to) literally believe they change to blood and flesh. So I told her to go research.

She came back and said that the wine and crackers change their "substance" (hence tranSUBSTANTiation), but that this cannot be tested for because they look and taste exactly the same as they did before the change. But they are flesh and blood...and that's not crazy...somehow...

There was a radio quiz show in Liverpool called "Hold yer plumbs", noted for the dumbest contestants. One woman struggled for ages with the question "What was Hitler's 1st name?" Eventually, she came out with "Hiel"

Jesus’ surname should have been Zimmerman! More likely though Tekton

I’d defined have changed my name to Zimmerman!

I appear to gravitate toward such crazies … whereas most lean away, waiting for them to go away. Little new, other than continued morphing and blending of irrefutable facts in an attempt to match their preferred fantasies; I’d hear shit like, “Who says that ‘back then’ a day wasn’t the equivalent of a thousand years?”

Stepped into a 3 (them) on 1 (me) session a couple weeks ago… An opportunity to ask some questions, though! ‘How old is our planet?’ ‘After your flood, everyone alive is related to ‘Noah’s (white) family?’ ‘Does life exist on other planets, and does it look like your god?’ ‘Is antibiotic resistant bacteria not evolution in action?’ ...a few other Q’s came to mind during their ..preaching. Though big on fake reality ...their ignorance of science is deadly..

So, no date on earth age, but ‘not over ten thousand years’ “Yes,” we’re all descended from a handful of boat people'.. No life anywhere beyond us! Refused to admit ‘mutations’ are also responsible for bio-evolution… Listening only for an opportunity to rebut … their minds are closed

Christ is not a name. Otherwise one could say the father was Joseph Christ and the mother Mary Christ. It's a simple (for once something is simple) title like Joe the Butcher or Mary the accountant. It's Jesus THE Christ. Most of the basic ideas behind religion escapes most people, atheists and religious alike (but most atheists know more than most religionists).

In Vietnam prior to an operation a chaplain came up to me and said " Don't worry son. God is on our side." I turned around and walked away. Today I'd like to think I'd call him out for his hypocrisy and stupidity.

Ken, a 66-year-old psychologist from Portland, Oregon. His first message to me:

"I really like your playful, creative, giving being. You're more "spiritual" than most religious people. I'm curious how an "atheist" can live that way."

I once heard a theist tell a woman that Jesus would heal her hemorrhoids.

I was in a work meeting and the manager running it knew I was atheist, so kept making little snide remarks (ex. “We all believe in a higher power. Well, everyone except Alicia. She’s atheist.” ) to single me out. Finally I called her out on the remarks asking if she had a problem with my atheism. She got all huffy and started ranting, “some of my best friends are atheists! I have a gay friend and we sit around a fire and he believe his soul resides in that fire and I’m very tolerant!!!” Um, bitch, pretty sure you don’t know wtf you’re talking about so how about you stfu. Look up atheism before you start talking shit about it.
