Stupid things the religious say
We have a pics for a laugh at religion thread, but frankly, even the most intelligent joke isn't anywhere as funny as the stuff that comes out of religious people's mouths and for damn serious, too.
I give you (from *the* stupidest guy I've met in my life who's apparently just gotten divorced and frankly, I'm stunned it took this long as his wife was actually not dumb and he was, kid you not, dumber than shit):
"Rejection is Gods (sic) protection"
Another favourite of mine:
"You don't believe in God, you either know Him or you don't."
More to come...

I went to a recent Alpha course ( A Christian basics course in the U.K.) to fulfil a promise to a friend..
I said I thought christianity was a made up religion, the leader of the group smiled at me and said ''So you think someone woke up one day and though.. ohh I'll make a religion up, how likely is that ?'' and relaxed looking round the rest of the group smiling thinking he had made his point''
Then I asked if all other religions were true, he said no of course not, I said ''well people make up religions all the time then!'' he looked serious and admitted this was the case.

This is some whole other level of stupid right there.
A quote from a local celebrity priest (that a lady I lived with in Curitiba likes), that I've seen more than one person share and like. I really need to be out of this dumb place full of dumb people ASAP:

Lady saying this was beyond stupid. In addition to idiocy aforementioned she believed in intervention of Mary the Virgin during Poland Russian 1920 war and if I'm not mistaken some worldwide Jewish conspiracy.

There's nothing quite like the Catholic glorification of suffering. Or, for that matter, the suffering porn that constitutes a significant portion of their art.

Stupid things the religious say
Some dude came running out of the dark as I was walking to the grocery store Tuesday night and accosted me with, "Do you need a prayer for anything today?" I didn't, so I said no, and he went on his way with a parting, "Jesus loves you!" My first thought was to check that I still had all my things and that the sudden encounter had just been a pretext for some sticky fingers.

The stupidest things the religious say are said by the religious stupid. Likewise with the stupidest stuff our lot says. Hard to say how much religion contributes to the onset of stupid. But with some of the more extreme fundamentalist sects of Christianity it is easy to imagine it must at least be a contributing factor.

Nothing in fact changed at all, other than that I now did the Right Thing for better reasons -- not because it was commanded, or because punishments were threatened, but because I chose to out of empathy and personal integrity.
