Fundies Say the Darnedest Things!

[Wilber_Stool]

This turned up in another forum but nobody will see it there. Be careful though, the spelling, grammar, and punctuation will really tangle your brain.

"The existence of millions of believers ought to testify to the actual existence of Jesus Christ. None of the other Messiah claimants acquired such a following. I don't know of one instance of people following someone who didn't exist, do you?"

It just keeps getting better:

"When the earth was created and sin entered in(satan being thrust down) it knock the earth off it's axis, that is why there is 365 days in a year and not 360 as you would think (the earth being round) and also why the sun (light) does not shine on the earth as a whole, leaving some parts in darkness at certain times."


"So it gradually grew a penis over time?



But why are there penises (peni? what's the plural?) all over the place today? The bacteria didn't need the penis so why did it work towards an organism that would develop one if it was uneeded to reproduce?"

Yes they do but there really teenie tiny little things.

I'm still reading these and what I'm beginning to find disturbing is the age of the posters. At first I thought they were probably 10 to about 15 or 16 years but now I'm not so sure.

"I'm not suggesting that we should have elephants or tigers who are building homes like ours. But based on needs alone it bothers me that elephants didn't see the need to invent the wheel so they could roll they're fat butts around. Or Tigers should have learned how to set snares after a couple of million years to catch just one Zebra as he rushes the herd in that direction. If evolution was real what i'm suggesting is totally reasonable based on the very laws of evolution proponents tell us exist."

1. You could use the same argument for any of the big 5 religons

[Craig3410]

3. And the FSM! -nt-

[coldiggs]

6. ya good point

[Gman]

2. They try so hard with their feeble little minds

and that's the best they can do, posted for all to see.

4. Like Ma Ferguson, gov of Texas, explaining why she opposed bi-lingual

education. "If English was good enough for Jesus Christ, it's good enough for me."

[FreedomAngel82]

21. But Jesus spoke Arabic didn't he?

[jobycom]

25. Aramaic, actually. Maybe Greek or Latin, too, depending on his

education. As I understand it (which isn't much at all) Aramaic is a variation of Hebrew, which is a Semitic language, thus closer to Arabic than to English. Ma Ferguson was a Democrat, but definitely of the uninformed, conservative Texan varietal.

5. um ... how about Jupiter? Mithras? Thor?

Very popular beliefs in their day.

[booley]

7. so wouldn't the billion Muslims

mean that Mohamed was God's prophet?

And the millions of Buddhists means Buddha was right.

Oh, and the billions of atheists means they are all wrong...

[NanceGreggs]

8. What about ...

"I don't know of one instance of people following someone who didn't exist, do you?"

Yup - Santa Claus. 'Believed in' by millions of children, the world over, for centuries, a belief that transcends religious upbringing, politics, geographical location, etc.

[mark11727]

14. Santa Claus IS real...

... I met him in Macy's when I was five. :)

[NanceGreggs]

17. So did I ...

... and I see from your profile that you're an Islander. So am I -- maybe we met the same 'Santa' at Macy's!

So where are you from on the Island ...

9. It's quality not quantity

as any good pasta chef will tell you...

FSM is the tastiest

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

10. I've Just Never Understood How Mocking Jesus Helps Us,

but since each are entitled to their own opinions that applies here as well, obviously. I just never understood its value, but that's just me.

[C_U_L8R]

13. We're not mocking Jesus

we're mocking the idiot asshole fundies
who presume to speak for Jesus

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

18. Fair Enough LOL

I see more added to the original post now, and is far more apparent in it's mocking intent. At first, it seemed like it was just mocking the thought that Jesus may have even existed.

Hell yeah, those whacked out fundies can be mocked no problem LOL

[C_U_L8R]

19. and there's a lot to LOL about...

fundies are funny.. really funny

[FreedomAngel82]

22. There are some people

who use religion for good and positive deeds (such as helping the poor and helping their personal lives) but than there are people like the fundies and freepers who use it to stop other people from having their liberty and happiness such as with Roe v Wade and science and being able to have their own religious beliefs systems. Just because I believe in God and Jesus as a Christian doesn't mean I can go around and demoralize other people and their faith just as I hope they wouldn't do me.

[jobycom]

26. I agree, but I don't see the post as mocking Jesus

Just mocking the lack of global awareness of some people who claim to be his followers.

I'm an atheist who loves religions. I view them all as metaphors that capture a lot of truth, and since I can believe what the religion means without having to believe all of the literal aspects of it, I tend to respect those who can discuss those higher truths well, no matter their specific beliefs. The reverse is I have more trouble getting along with those who see only the stories and not the higher truths the stories point to. My failing, I know.

[havocmom]

11. So, the earth got round when people stopped believing it was flat?

Sure thing :eyes:

[FreedomAngel82]

23. Heh heh

I haven't read Genesis in a long time but I do believe even there it states that the earth is round.

[havocmom]

24. Yeah, but for a LONG time, people thought: FLAT

as in, 'Hey, Chris, you're going over the edge' flat

[annabanana]

12. now that's a funny site...

A great collection of brain frizzed logic there, boy.

[CatholicEdHead]

15. I have no idea about this one

:wtf:

"When the earth was created and sin entered in(satan being thrust down) it knock the earth off it's axis, that is why there is 365 days in a year and not 360 as you would think (the earth being round) and also why the sun (light) does not shine on the earth as a whole, leaving some parts in darkness at certain times."

:wtf:

[cdb]

16. This is a parody, right? Please tell me this isn't true...

This person is just too fucking stupid to live. No. I am NOT TOLERANT of such ignorance. My diversity rainbow sticker withers and turns brown in shock.

"why the sun (light) does not shine on the earth as a whole, leaving some parts in darkness at certain times."

[FreedomAngel82]

20. That just doesn't make any sense

And there's now 360 days in a year??? :shrug: Hasn't there always been 365 days?

[Wilber_Stool]

27. Just thought I'd run this buy

the day shift. Some of these are too good to miss.

I should have given credit to the original poster. Sorry

28. That first quote is a common logical fallacy

called "argumentum ad populum," as in, "because a lot of people believe something, therefore it is true." The rest of the posts are just insanity.
