that's freakin' hilarious.....

He never finds keys either.

@Wildgreens He isn't much good for glasses either...Actually, I wouldn't know, I never SK HIM.

@Wildgreens u know , the key thing ? It doesn’t help if u walk up and down the house “ Jesus f christ where are my keys “. I don’t think he likes that talk

That's a solid "Face-Palm"

Poodles are a good look, just sayin'. God might be givin you a hint making you lose that brush...

I have heard that one, also.

I get that too. They think atheists are the worst humans in history.

A non believer oh my.
According to my therapist she said I’m the best
“christian” that she knows. I reminded her you mean
atheist?

People don’t listen.

That’s the one I get too.

Followed by, evidence for god is EVERYWHERE! Look at the trees! Look at the sky!

@BlizzardMan Yes! ...but then I get to dazzle them with science ..attempting to describe how they’re all related, to us

NOPE.

Even if you win the lottery?

@Petter In that case, HE would contact ME.

But christians are loving and caring about other humans right? Jesus sets the example.

@Wildgreens I agree that christians should be loving and caring. But you'd be surprised at how hateful Morons (oops, Mormons) can be. They used to be racists, and they're still sexists. And they teach their members not to trust non-Morons, which is why my brother disowned me, after I left Moronism.

My parents converted to Mormonism before I was born. However my oldest brother remembered their conversion, and when he got old enough he told them he didn't believe in it. So, I wasn't the first in my family to leave the Mormon church.

Of course when I told them I was atheist, It was at the same time I also told them I was gay. My plan to was to come out (as gay), but I didn't want to hear all the religious stuff they'd bring up, so I thought it was best to also let them know I was also an atheist.

I was surprised I wasn't disowned.

What ws difficult was havitgn my name removed from church records. They are very reluctant and it was about ten years from when i originaly requestested iot to when it finally happened. The Mormon churhc likes to brag about their growing membership, but as they coutn every person who was ever baptized whether or not they still believe, and they make it very difficult to have your name removed from their records, a large number of the membership they count aren't persons who consider themselves to still be members.

My parents just said they were very disappointed in me.

They don’t comprehend that its our choice. According to most religious parents they are the only ones that are always right.

Christians think that they have all of the answers don’t they?

I was once told that I act more like a Christian than most Christians

@JonnaBononna I would say that most atheists are more "moral" than most Christians... was measured by Christian teachings.

Hell has all the good bands anyway.

@ThisIsPatrick LOL I know I listen to plenty of it!!

A good reply to that would be “Heavens afraid of me and Hells afraid I’m going to take over”

That oughta give ‘em some goosebumps. LOL

More desperate than anything else I would say.

Ignorance

You shoulda said: "Nah. If anything being gay should make me believe in and love God more. I mean...have you seen the abs on Jesus? And sporting only a loin cloth? Dude's in shape! He didnt let himself go, like Buddha did."

@MakeItGood I am more likely to question why Jesus is always depicted on the cross with a loin cloth. The Romans always crucified people who were totally naked.

@snytiger6 really? Didnt know that! And I thought it was strange that the the giant Buddha at a temple in my folks hometown was nude. And that statue was several stories tall, so you know the "package" was visible from a great distance lol.

I wonder if there are depictions of Jesus as he supposedly was on the cross in Europe...well, in countries that don't sexualize nudity as much as the US does...

@MakeItGood I remember visiting the Todaiji Temple in Japan. The Buddha there was pretty large Othre stories tall), but I remember it beign clothed

@snytiger6 heres the one i talking about

If I come across that can I borrow that line?
That’s brilliant!!

I would have said "the exact opposite actually. If there is no god, no afterlife, all life becomes much more precious and valuable, don't you think?"

Yeah, random people have said to me that "god loves you anyway"

You said that like there was something wrong with it.

I've pretty much come to the conclusion that a lot of religious people are religious, just so they can feel the extra thrill and excitement of being "naughty" when they sin.

I'll point to Jerry Falwell Jr. as an example.

I don't get that response very often but when I do, I throw that BS right back at em. With - bible/god dictates what is sinning and what is moral so when we do what the bible tells us we are not sinning. (they agree). Then I'll bring up a few nasty bible quotes including Psalms 137:9 Happy is the one who takes your babies and smashes them against the rocks

@Fred_Snerd Actually, I thought it was ignorant and disrespectful.

And by the way, I am almost tempted to ask if they're volunteering....

So much for them being loving and kind.

That gift meaning having to go to school for it.

@Wildgreens Yes, back in those days, the early 70's it meant 6 weeks every year for 3 years spent in a Training School then the rest of the time in the Wards with hands on work rather than sitting at a desk in a University as they do these days.
For the first 12 months you could 100% certain that you'd cop every shitty job, and I do mean shitty btw, that came along plus, as a Trainee MALE nurse I was expected to do work that was reserved mainly for the Wardsmen/Portering Staff as well and was paid around $20 per week LESS than the female nurses of the same grade.
