What the title says. What's the stupidest and most asinine statement you've ever heard from a Christian?

The pastor at the church my mother drags me too has said some truly dumb things in the past, to the point where I was both pissed off and saddened about the religion. Here are a few (paraphrased).

A. "People say that the pastor brainwashes people. They're right. My job as a pastor is to wash your brain."

B. "Ever since you were born, you sinned."

The B part.. that's called original sin I believe. So when you are born, you already have sinned. It's true in the religion of Christianity and probably a few others too.

The most appalling thing I've ever heard a "Christian" say is, "if you don't follow the word of God, I hope you go to Hell." Quoted directly from a certain elder person from my school. We were on the topic of some of the odd things in the Bible and she was set off her rocker. I was very shocked to say the least..

Well, since I rebelled, I think pretty much all of what they say is stupid!

'You must follow Jesus or be condemned to hell', 'God loves you', 'Worship him', 'If you are being murdered, stand there and take it, for God loves you and he will save you', f*** off, darned mongs!

Just a bunch of brainwashed slaves!

That's such a strange thing for someone to say, considering it goes against everything Christianity is for...

And it does basically mean that all humans being born are a sin.... WTF, somebody smack some sense into them, they need it!

My personal favorites are from a very famous christian.

"Facing clear evidence of peril, we cannot wait for
the final proof, the smoking gun that could come in the
form of a mushroom cloud."

"They MISUNDERESTIMATED me."

"They want the federal government controlling social security like it's some kind of federal program."

"The fact that he relies on facts...says things that are not factual...are going to undermine his campaign."

There are too many to list! He is either the most brilliant comedian or a true idiot. I hope you guys can guess who I am talking about.

Ok my answer is somewhat generic and a conversation that every fellow athiest has been engaged in during their lives sometime:

"Do you believe X is true?"
"Yes."
"How do you know?"
"Faith/The bible"

Either on of these two answers make me just walk away and shake my head as they finish the sentence. It's just to blatently ignorant.

[no9t9]

my previous post.. yes, the infamous George Jr.

As for Thoughtvoid, I'm not sure what you are trying to say in your post. Being an athiest simply means you don't believe in a higher being. Why then would you mock someone who has faith? Why is it blatently ignorant to have faith in something?

You may call me ignorant for this but... I personally believe calling someone ignorant for having faith or even having religious beliefs is ignorant.
